The entertainment which is to be
given by the kindergarten next Friday
evening appeals strongly to the public
spirit for patronage. The part taken by
the little tots will be a novelty in itself
and the rest Of the program Is good; but
a more potent claim for patronage is the
financial need of the school. 1t was un-
dertaken as an experiment to see if
such a school could be supported in this
city for the good it would do, and has
proved highly successful and satisfactory
as a training school; but the number
enrolled was scarcely enough to main
tain the expense af the school, and the
general prevalence Of colds and whoop-
ing-cough has cut this attendance and
consequent support nearly in two, the
last half of the term. Hence, the enter.

lights was taken to run those for the mill,

child the mother having procured a d..
vorce and remarked to Willard about two
years ago. Mrs. Willard and the two Has
eltine children were in court and the tes-
timony showed they were not of the opin-

Willard was defended by Chas. H. Robb.
A jury was empanelled in the forenoon,

guilty." Justice Williams, before whom
