Jerry Mccarthy, resident OF the coun-
ty poorhouse above Houghton, found
his way to Calumet Wednesday after
noon and 1t did not take him long to get
well filled with whiskey. He was found
on the street Wednesday evening in a
state OF intoxication in front OF Martins
store, where he had great difficulty to
keep himself from falling through the win.
dow. Marshal Ward prevented this,
however. and safely landed him in the
village jail, where he spent the night.
When brought before Justice Curtis he
explained that he had come out to attend
wedding, but had drank too much from
the flowing bowl. He was sentenced to
twenty days in the county jail and taken
IN yesterday to serve his time.

est in the work, and the results obtained
are highly creditable. The boys work
forty-dve minutes each day, and to saw
that they are getting able to handle the
ordinary carpenter tools with considera-
BILE skill would mildly represent the actu-
al condition. The boys have Just COM
pleted an order for sixty boxes. and the
workmanship would do credit to an ex-
perienced mechanic. BY the the end OF
the year they will complete the work usu-
ally covered by grst-class manual train
ing schools, and will be ready for their
work in joinery, and also for lathe work
in wood.
Mr.. Agassiz's proposition to build and
equip complete building for mammal,
training in connection with the public
schools, has served to stimulate the bows
TO do their best. All the high school
boys, forty in number, have taken the
work. Next fall the boys of the higher
grammar grades will commence sbop
work.

The exhibition OF the Calumet Y. NJ. c.
A. gymnasium classes given at the Opera
House last evening was fully as much Of
a success as . one given last year, and
the results Of the faithful work and train
ing the classes have undergone during
the the winter months was shown in a
marked degree in last evenings perform
ance. Although the audience was not a
large one. which is accounted for by the
inciemency OF the weather, still those
present showed their hearty apprecia-
ton OF the boys efforts by frequent and
enthusiastic applause.
The program opened with an overture
by the Fifth Regiment band and then the
curtain went up showing the tableau OF
all the classes. Following this was the
musical dumbbell drill by twelve boys
about dozen years OF age, who went
through the exercises and movements
with a precision and regularity that
would have done credit to people OF a
more advanced age.
The work on the horizontal bar, vault
ing horse and parallel bars by the senior
class was exceptionally good ana in this
the boys showed marked improvement
over last years entertainment and per-
formed many feats that were simply won
derful. Space will not permit an individ-
ual mention OF the remarkable perform
ances in this line, suffice il to say that
many acts given last evening have not
been erformed here before and the boys.
one and allcoyered themselves with glory.
The wand drill was a very interes ing
part OF the program and the dumbbeIl
drill by the taller juniors was also very
good. The club swinging by eight men,
bers OF the senior class was worth the
price oil admission and was accorded
hearty applause. The tumbling, too.
was good and attracted much attention.
particularly the ieats OF two OF the BOYS.
The long pole drill by the senior class
was very good feature of the evenings
entertainment, and the club swinging by
Walfred Hendrickson won for him a rep
utation in that line that is uneq ualed here.
The pyramid building was excellent
and pyramids OF all sizes, shapes and
forms were made by the BOYS. The work
throughout could not have been more
pleasing, and showed the results OF Sec
rotary Massman's untiring efforts to
bring the classes up tn their present
standard OF excellence.
The entertainment will be repeated
next Monday evening and those who did
not have an opportunity to attend last
night, or who were kept at home by the
storm, should not fail to attend then.
Alter the exhibition a large number
took supper, which was served in the
building by the Ladies' Auxiliary and
which certainly proved that they were
caterers OF no mean order and should
prove great recommendation to those
unmarried ladies among them, as they
say the way to gain mans affection ia
