Evolutionary Contest at Rome.

The Evolutionary contest given at
the Presbyterian church last Thurs
day night, under the management OF
Miss Gertrude Bull OF Wichita, MAS
one Of the best entertainments ever
given at Rome, but owing to the very
bad roads did not receive the patron.
age which 1t deserved.
Rendition Of Il e program was be-
gun by a march played by Miss Birdie
Fox, to which the Class, TENN number
lead by their instructor and assistant,
Mrs. Clayton, marched in and took
seats in order. The march played by
Miss Fox was excellent and well rem
dered, we thought entirely fauItessly
so.
Next was selection played by the
Perth Orchestra. 1t rendered music
at appropriate times throughout the
evening and the fine music which ttIs
orchestra played well defends The good
reputation which they have long since
achieved, viz: never fail.
While speaking If the music we
wish to mention the vocal music by
Cledd and VERNE Gray of Perth. 1t
was well rendered. These children
possess a musical talent seldom shown
at their age aud we doubt if Sumner
county Can produce their equal. The
reCitatiOnS of the contestants, Misses
Edith Macy, Oracle Green, Ethel
ShipIey, Lou Brothers, Minnie Kline,
May Kline aud Myrtle Barbour;
MessrS John Spohr, A. d. Murlin and
Homer Williams, were well rendered
and much appreciated by the inter.
ested audience.
Perhaps there is no place in Kansas
possessing greater number Of good
speakers, in the young folks circle,
than Rome, and We challenge the
state to produce them.
By choice Of the class, the judge
were Miss Julia Holland, Mrs. MAI
DOwiS and Ia. Hubbard. The judges
were given five points on which to de
eide, viz: voice, articulation, gestures
memory and general effect.
After the recitations we're all rem
dered and while the judges were pre-
pairing their decision, Miss Bull enter
tanned the audience with recitation
which was superane. We presum,
that Miss Bulls recitatiOnS are Away
so. Mrs. Clayton was chosen to pre-
sent the prize, and the contestant
being pupils in her school, she showed
to manifest deep interest in the en-.
tire class. Her address was extraOr
dinarily rich, thoughtful and bust
ness like. The class will never forge
the good advice and sound common
sense she expressed to them.
The prize, a beautiful silver cup, wa

Miss Kline and her sister Minnie TIED
No one falling very far behind. TIL,
work which Miss Bull did In prepar
ing her class for the contest needs q,
comment from me: but the merits o
the exercise justify the statement tina
the patient, tedious and laboriou
work Of training the class not onll
honOrs herself but hOnors the com
munity in which we live. This youn,
lady's work benefits every cOmmunit,
into which she goes and should she re
turn to Rome second time we hop,

Interesting Views Of Rev. James Hughes,

had been informed was likely to prove
the scene of a determined, If not
sauguinary contest, for political posi-

spirited men. From the highly colored
pictures said to bt descriptive of cleo
tons in America, whether municipal
or state, which had been presented to
me, both in this country and in dis
tant lands, produced in my mind the
impression that l was likely to witness
a vertable pandemonium, where lem
guage would be blue with sulphur, and
actions both subtle and satanic.
Whether any stranger could venture to
appear in the public streets without be-
ing armed as some English men are
armed when they go out among the
Kaffirs and wild beasts in Africa with
bowe-knives pistols and revolvers, was
a question seriously debated by some
