program was rendered before the
friends and patrons of that depart
ment on Wednesday, The youthful
actors under the management and
training of their teacher, Miss Lila
Van Etten acquitted themselves in a
very creditable manner. The songs
were excellent the recitations felici-
tious, and each We'd with the other
in rendering their parts to the salts
faction of the audience. Such ex-
hibitions are both pleasing and pro-
fitable, tending to inspire a conf.
dence in the children creating a
healthy emulation, and at the same
time teaching them lessons they will
never forget begetting within them
the foundations upon which to build
broader and more useful life, and

Cargoes to This Country.
Arrangements have just been COM
pleted for the shipment from Homo
lulu to the Delaware Breakwater
for orders of upwards of $4,000 tons
of sugar. This arrangement was
made necessary through the failure
of the Cuban crops, and the Immense
consignments are expected to ar
rive here early in the Spring.
The charters were reported yes
terday of the American clipper ships
BENZ. F. Packard, Indiana, E. B..
Sutton, Reaper, w. F. Babcock and
S. p Hitchcock, to land sugar at
Honolulu for the Delaware Break
water for orders, and other charters
of the kind will now be made
About this time last year a fleet of
American ships was taken up for the
same business, and until that time
sugar was rarely brought here from
that distant port.

A SUCCESSFUL ENTsR1A!NmENT.
Many Friends Aid the Lyceum in sub
stantial Manner.

Many Friends Aid the Lyceum in Sub
stantiaI Manner.
The Milford Lyceum Association
may well congratulate themselves
on the good friends they have found
in MIR and Mrs Frank Crissman, of
the Crissman House. AS had been
all along anticipated, the supper
given for the benefit of the Associa-
ton at this popular hotel, ON Thurs
day evening, November 18th, was
decided success. Handsome pre-
parations had been made for the re-
ception of guests, and the friends of
the Association rallied in good force
to show their appreciation.
Interest in the affair was widened
by the cooperation of the Chau-
tauqua Circle. Many ladies of this
circle served as assistants in the
dining room, and others the younger
Indies, as n reception committee in
the parlor. The financial outcome
is the sum of seventy-six dollars and
thirty cents, with more in prospect.
In this amount are included a
number of substantial donations,
some of them as high as ten dollars,
and among the donors special men,
ton should be made of Mr.. John
Baldwin, Hon. G., S. Purdy, Presi-
dent Judge of this Judicial District
Mrs. Doughty, and Mr. Cornelius
Meyers.
For the results attained, great
credit is due to Mrs. Crissman, who
was entrusted by the Board of Di-
rectors with the entire management
of the affair, and who amply vindi-
Gated the confidence thus shown.
Especially happy was her turning
for help TO the Chautauqua Circle of
which she is highly valued men,
ber Mrs. j. j. Hart proved an able
assistant in many ways.
This is now the fourth instance in
which the Crissman House has come
to the help of the Association in
time of need, and it is in no small
degree due to it's thoughtful gener-
osity that the directors have been
able to persevere in their work and
to keep the Reading Room open
from year to year, though under
meath all is the kindness of Mr..
James w. Pinchot in giving the free
use of the library building.
From funds already in the trea-
sury, the amount raised at the sup
per can probably be increased to
800, for the purchase of books. A
splendid foundation has been laid
for a new library, by a gift from
Mr. Frederick Beadle, of Appleton's s
New American Encyclopedia, in 16
volumes. Others have also made
valuable contributions of books.
The recent fire has crippled us it
certainly has not proved a fatal blow
to our enterprise. DIRECTOR.

NEWCOMB KIMBLE.

On Saturday, Nov. 26 in company
with some others Mr.. Kimble went
out after deer the tracks of which
he had observed the previous day.
On the way it was noticed that he
appeared to walk as if tired. Ar
irving at a runway he was asked if
he would take that stand, and
nodded assent and at the same time
his body sank to the ground. He
did not reply when spoken to and in
a few seconds was dead. The cause
is attributed to heart disease, al
though he had never shown but
slight symptoms of falling health.
He was born at Kimbles Aug. z,
1887, was married in 1858 to Lucinda
Edwards who with six children sur
vive him.

OBITUARY.
mRs. sARAH ASHER.

For considerable time past Mrs.
Asher of Lackawaxen wife of Henry
Asher proprietor of a Hotel there,
has not been in good health, and
some two weeks prior to her death
last Friday, it was decided to send
her to New York to the residence of
her daughter where she could have
the requisite attention from DR..
Gibbs a specialist. For a time she
improved, but a few days ago her
condition gradually grew worse and
DR.. N. B. johnson, of Shohola was
sent for. He advised that in view
of the fact that she was rapidly de-
clining and as it was not improba-
bly, that death would soon come she
be removed to her home. Accord
ingly accompanied by her husband,
a nurse and DR.. johnson, she took
a train Friday night Nov. 20 for
home. Just after leaving Middle
town, N. Y, she passed peacefully
away, and her remains were con-
veyed to her home. She was about
sixty-six years of age, and nearly
half of her life has been passed at
Lackawaxen. She is survived by
her husband, two daughters, Mrs.
Rose Piper, of New York, and Isa-
belle, at home, and one son, Emmett.
The funeral took place last Sun
day afternoon and the burial was at
the Cypress Hills cemetery, N. Y.

In Indiana the Congressman pro-
pose that each town shall determine
for itself who shall be postmaster
by a popular vote for the candidates.
This plan while it might not result
in the most fitting selection, would
have the advantage of giving the
people their say, and taking the ap-
pointment out of the hands of a few
politicians, who are apt to bestow
the Office simply as a reward for
party service.
