MEANS MUCH FOR THE ACADEMY
Arrangements Being Made for a Large
Increase in Attendance Next Year.

Wentworth Military Academy has easily
held the first position among the acade-
mics of the west. By a wise, conservative
management it has gained a foothold
among western schools that no other
academy can claim.
Daring the last year there has been
more or less disturbance among the male
schools of the country, but non at w. NJ.
A. Everything has run as smoothly as il
1t were oiled for the OCCASION, and it was
oiled too, with the safest kind of judg-
ment. The attendance is larger than that
of any academy in the state, and the
cadetsh have done excellent work.
With the school in such good shape for
present needs it is no wonder that good
fortune has b~efallen it in other lines.
On last Wednesday Major Sellers re-
ceived a telegram from Capt. Lesueur,
stating that he (Lesueur) had just had q
telegram from Vest stating hat Capt.
Hunt had been detailed by the United
States department of war to service in the
Wentworth Military Academy. This
gratifying news was received here with
much delight, for 1t means much for the
academy. Capt. Hunt brings with him as
a consignment from the national govern
ment ITO Springfield rifles of the latest
pattern, two pieces of heavy artillery and
all the ammunition that he desires. The
academy also gets a consignment of car
bines from the state.
Added to this great item, Maj. Sellers
this week closed a contract with Marina
duke Military Academy for everything
that belonged to that institution that
could be used here. With this sale all
that will be known save memor of Mar
maduke Academy drops out OF existence.
Maj. Sellers bought twenty cavalry sad
dies, blankets, etc., all the flags, band
instruments, drums, mailing lists, ETC.,
from Marmaduke.
1t is easy to predict that w. NJ. A. with
her new advantages will be the most pop
ular academy OF the west for a long
time to come.
The action of the United States govern
ment was in some degree due to the tire
less work of Capt. Lesueur. who made a
trip to Washington in that interest.

A DELIGHTFUL ENTERTAINMENT.
Last Saturday evening an entertainment
was given at AullyilIe under the auspices
of the Camp of Modern Woodmen of
America, and it proved to be a success in
every particular. A pleasant feature of
the occasion was the presentation by Mr..
John A. Fulkerson, candidate for sheriff,
of twenty-four pieces of solid silver, con-
sisting OF half a dozen each OF knives,
forks, dessert and teaspoons. They were
given to be voted to the handsomest and
most popular young lady present. The
friends of several charming young ladies
at once began a spirited contest in behalf
of their respective favorites. The voting
was conducted in the best of good humor,
but as all were deeply Interested in the
result, the contest was we'll sustained,
until all the votes had been cast and
counted. During its continuance it ap-
peared that there would be a tie between
Miss Nellie Dobson and Miss Emma Hord,
but Miss Dobson's friends rallied in force
to her support, and she won by q few
votes. To Mr.. IL. G. Wallace, Jr., candi-
date for prosecuting attorney, fell the dis
tinguished honor of making the presenta-
ton, and in a few well chosen words he
congratulated the young lady on her
popularity, handsome personal appear
ance, and success in having won such q
valuable souvenir OF the delightful enter
tainment rendered the audience by the
Modern W~oodmen. There were many
untouched boxes of strawberries aud q
dozen or more large cakes left over, and
these were put under the hammer and
sold to the highest bidders, Mr.. Fulker-
son acting as a%uctioneer. Altogether it

If we would examine our stomach, we

BELEAGUERED BULUWAYo.
Fierce Fighting Reported by Way of
Cape Town.

CAPE TOWN, April 2S.-The dispatches
which filtered through from Buluwayo YES
terday increased the feeling of anxiety felt
mere regarding the fate Of the besieged town.
According to latest advices, the circle of war
r1ors around the Notifications has again been
drawn closer at Buluwayo, and at the same
time extended. The Matabeles, when this
news was sent out from the endangered
town, had been further reinforced, and an
other large body Of men was leaving the
Matopo hills, expecting to effect a junction
with the other bodies of hostile natives and
completely surround the place from all sides.
while keeping south of the fortified pass
which is the key to the situation in that di-
rection. -----e- -
In addition, another strong force of hostiles
has gone in the direction of the route being
followed by the relief corps of about 500 men
and nine machine guns, advancing from
Mafeking. Consequently it is believed that
there is severe work cut out for this force
the advance guard of which, 1t was hoped
would reach Mangwa about May 7. The tao
tics OF the Matabeles are really admirable
When the uprising commenced, only a few
hundred hostiles were reported to be in the
field, and it was announced that the native
police would soon induce them to subjection.
but the police deserted with arms and all the
ammunition they could lay hands on the
1mpfs gathering with wonderful rapidity in
the Matopo hills, which are evidently their
rallying point and base Of operations, and
then the investment of Buluwayo commenc-
ed. Steadily, slowly, but surely, the number
OF native regiments have been augmented,
the half circle of hostilesehas increased until
1t is almost a complete circle, and instead of
being twelve miles from Buluwayo, only
about three miles now separate the natives
from their prospective prey.
The hills, 1t is said, are being fortified by
Buluwayo be relieved and the British be able
to resume the offensive, the natives will
have stronghold to fall back upon, and
there make long stand against the charter
ed company's forces. If this report is cor
rect, and there seems no reason to doubt 1t
the British will not see the end of the Mat
abele war for many months to come, and
much blood will be shed on both sides before
order Is finally restored. But the Matabeles
may be able to hold out until the great
struggle, which cannot be long delayed, COM
mences in South Africa, and nobody can pre-
dict what the eventful outcome will be-

South Africa, and they are bold enough to
say that the realization of this dream is

HEAVY FOR JUNIORS.
st. Mary's School Amateurs Enact
Mary Stuart,s Life.

Joseph Quinn's dramatization of the life of
Mary Queen of Scots was presented to a
large and appreciatiye audience by the eighth
grade pupils of st. Mary's school, at St.
Mary's hall, Ninth and Locust streets, last
evening. The production had been in process
OF preparation for some time and the in
terest taken in its success was fully evi-
denced by the creditable manner in which the
young Thespians performed their respective
parts. asS.ss
The costumes were beautiful and elaborate,
and typical of the times portrayed by the
tragedy.
Miss May Goven, as the martyred queen,
displayed unusual talent for one of her years
and was the recipient of hearty applause for
her clever Characterization.
The four ladies in waiting upon the un-
happy queen, Mary Beton Mary Seton, Mary
Flemming and Mary Livingston, were ade-
quately represented by the Misses McLaugh-
lin, Stapleton, Conley and Loney, while Rose
Farley, as Catherine De Medicis, was par
ticularly good.
The part of the English queen, Elizabeth,
was In the hands Of Miss Alice O'Hara, whose
conception of the character was exceptionally
creditable. Rizzio, portrayed by James
Rogers and Lord Burleigh, Shrewsbury.
Willie Douglas, and the Dauphin of France
as represented respectively by Joseph
Reimbold, Charles Horrigan, Bernard Shaver
and Harry Reimbold, were each characteri-
cations of merit. The tragedy. was in three
acts and opened in a convent garden in
France. The second scene, representing the
court of Henry H., and the marriage of Mary
and the Dauphin, was one of the prettiest Of
the production.
The act closed with a view Of the harbor
OF Calais and the departure of Mary for Scot
land.
The second act was laid in Scotland, show
Ing Lochleven castle, where Rizzio was mur-
dered by the emissaries of Darnley. view
OF the battle of Langslide, where Mary's
forces were routed, closed the act.
The third act, portraying that portion Of
Mary's career which passed in England, OPEN
ed with reproduction of Queen Elizabeth's
council chamber, where the fate of the un-
happy Scottish queen was decided upon. The
tragic incidents of Marys execution in
Footheringay castle were cleverly acted by
the Juvenile cast, and the curtain was rung
down at the closing scene, amid the enthu-
siastic applause of the audience.
