Bertha Picard, accompanied on the
piano by Miss Edna Little, was one of
the features of the evening. Miss Pic
ard was encored and gracefully re
sponded. She has truly mastered
the art of extracting enhancing strains
from catgut and her performances
were thoroughly appreciated and en-
joyed. The accompaniment by Miss
Little was excellent. Miss Ruth Clip
son ventured in an original essay to
roll aside the curtain of futurity and
review the lenses to come. She saw
the members of the Lowell society a
"Quarter of Century Hence" and told
all about them in the remote unhap-
pened. 1t was an ingenious compose
ton and delighted the audience. Lude
Brunzell read about "Banford's Burglar
Alarm" which was a true history of the
experiences of the Banfords and the
burglar which was the dog. The piece
was well read. The next number was
a defamation "Slsves of Martinique"
by Miss Lille Plowhead. Miss Plow-
heads Interpretation and rendition of
this affecting poem was nearly perfect.
1t was truly beautiful piece beauti-
fully given. Mr.. Frank Smith, accom-
panied by Mrs. Smith, favored the oc-
casion with song, sung in his inimit-
able style. The title was not given,
but that did not mar the general effect.
Wesley Little gave an account of the
trip taken to Weiser by members of
the society, and how they had wrenched
victory from the sturdy athletes of

The program opened with an excellent
chorus by the society. James Boone

James showed that he was not only an
orator of ability but a patriot of the

THE RECTTAL.

1.-THE man that hath not music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, strategems, and spoils;
The motions Of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus:
Let no such man be trusted"
Thursday morning, Mrs. J. T. Morri-
sons pupils, assisted by Mrs. w. H. Red
way, gave their annual musical recital in
the PRESBYTERIAN Church. The morning
was stormy, cold and generally discor-
dant, but the power Of music drew
forth goodly number of the ''lovers
of harmony" and the chill Of the damp
air was soon forgotten in the melodies
that "came DER the ear like the
sweet south, that breathes upon a
bank of yiolets, stealing and giving
odor." The Tribune realizes that it is
in deep, uncertain waters when it at
tempts to report musical recital,
not having a specialist on its staff.
The first number was a piano Duet
by the composer E,::Waddington, titled
March, Op. 26. The performers were
Misses Maysel Cooper and Newell
Cakes, and this performance was es-
pecially credible considering the age of
the musicians. Miss Lille Alchenberg.
er played piano solo, From Flower to
Flower" by Kullak. This piece was al
so well rendered, showing Miss Alchen-
berger to be possessed of true musical
genius. Miss Anabel Titles rendition
of Cabalitta OPP. SO. Lack, was remark
ably good and deserving of unlimited
praise. A piano duett-Adante from
Symphony No. 5. Beethoven, played by
Misses Jenkins and Alchenberger was
correctly and admirably rendered. A
delightful diversion from the regular
pupils program was vocal solo by the
accomplished Mrs. w. II. Redway &C
companied by her daughter, Miss Mary.
'Only a ribbon blue" by Sterrit, was
the beautiful and pathetic song Mrs.
Redway sung and it was wonderful

LOWELL AND COLUMBLAN EN-
TERTALN1BNT,

The days of closing and com.
menccmont exercises are looked for
ward to with general interest and
remembered with pleasure. The
fifth year has just been completed
and during the past week the stu
dents have been giving the public an
opportunity to judge of their accom-
plishments. Friday evening, the 18th,
the Lowell and Columbia literary so
cieties, composed of students and 9th
ers connected with the college, gave a
Literary entertainment in the Presby-
terrain church. After an impressive in
vocation by Rev Mr.. Wilder, of the M.
E. church, Mrs. j. G. Rice, played a
beautiful selection on the piano. The
next number was defamation. "The
Angels of Buena VISTA" given by Miss
Bertha Plowhead, This touching poem
was delivered with correct expression
and pathos, indicating that Miss Plow,
head had studied the subject well and
had imbued the spirit of the piece.
The movements of the distant battle
were wildly depicted and the death
scene was wrought with such exuuisit
touch that tears came unbidden to
many eyes. Miss Carrie Gekeler read
an original essay bearing the sugges-
tive title, "Whitewash." She pointed
out the prevailing and possibly growing
tendency to hide physical, moral and
mental imperfections under a coat of
lime and water. She limited at the del
icate tlnts which sometimes, unexpect-
eddy, blossom on the fair cheek of mod
est maiden and whispered of white
wash. She pointed out the folly of that
brand of whitewash which is SO lavish
ly employed by those who would keep
up appearances, spoke of the WhiteWash
used by students to conceal defective
lessons, and wove so many moral les
sons around the homely compound that
many will long remember Miss Carries
"Whitewash" with profit and gratitude.
Mr.. Albert E. Saxton delivered a for
chile Grafton on "The White Metal. !"
His theme was the evils of the gold
standard and the benefcence of free
coinage of silver at Is to /. Mr.. Saxton
handled the subject with ability and
thoroughness. He marshalled the facts
and argument in logical and conVinc-
ing sequence. His analysis of the sub
ject was clean and minute, his synthi-
sis perfect. In the short time allowed
him Mr.. Saxton managed to present all
the fundamental and principal facts
and arguments in favor of free coinage.
He showed that a contraction of the
currency reduced prices and that an
expansion increased prices. The young
gentleman acquitted himself with great
credit. 1.-THE Dead Lighthouse Keeper"
was the title of beautiful reading by
Miss Lille Alchenberger. The story
told of a youth being left to spend
three months in bleak and lonely
lighthouse with the corpse of the keep
err. The description of the terror and
horror which the youth suffered was
very vivid and well represented in Miss

In few years the College of Idaho
has grown to be an institution of learn
ing that any community might well be
proud of, especially a community as
unpretentiOus in point of numbers as
Caldwell. The annual closing and CON
mencement exercises which at first
were largely affairs of name, haYe be-
come affairs of widespread interest and
general Importance. Itwould be inter
esting to follow the Colleges growth
step by step, but at this time it is not
feasible, and we shall therefore only
call attention to some of its features.
From an educational standpoint it
affords facilities for first class instruc-
ton in every essential branch of learn
required by the general student. No
young man or young woman need 90
outside of the state to receive the usual
collegiate courses. In connection with
the institution is good library which
has been thrown open to the general
public and which is of immense adj
vantage to the students. The literary
societies which have taken part in the
exercises of the past ten days are com
posed of students, and bear the names
of Columbian and Lowell. They have
done great deal towards developing
the individual bent of the students and
preparing them for the actualities of
life. The musical department is under
the immediate direction of Mrs. ]. T.
Morrison, whose excellence as a teacher
is manifest in the admirable work of
her pupils. The recital which is men
toned at length is an annual event in
connection with the closing and COM
mencement exercises. Rev. w. j.
Boone is president of the college and
during the year has been ably assisted
by Miss Hull. The balance of the faculty
consists Of resident professors who give
lectures in special courses. The roll of
students is not at hand, but it is under.
stood that the attendance at the CLOSE
of the year numbered between 80 and
60. About five years ago Mr.. T. G.
Egleston of this place founded what is
now the well known Egleston Decla-
nation Contest The contest is open to
all students of the college and the prize
is a $40 gold piece. These contests
have become an interesting feature of
the annual exercises, Possibly word
ought to be said respecting the good
men and women whose energy and
love of learning laid the foundations of
the institution and wrought its sue
cess. The list would include nearly
every prominent citizen in Caldwell,
each contributing according to his or
her ability and opportunity. Those
most closely and actively identified are
probably the president, Rev. Boone, and
Mrs. Boone, Rev. and Mrs Barton, Mr..
and Mrs. J. r. Morrison, Mr.. and Mrs
H. d. Blatchley, Mr. J. G. Rice, Mr.. T.
G. Egleston, Drs. Isham and Wright,
Mr.. Howard Sebree, and others whose
names cannot now be recalled.

ercises began Friday evening, June II,

lumbar and Lowell Literary societies;

mon was preached by DR., Wishard of

CONTEST

LET your own discretion be your
tutor; suit the action to the word and.
the word to the action; with this special
observance, that you o'erstep not the
modesty Of nature; for anything so
oyerdone is from the purpose of play
ing, whose end, both at the first and
now, was, and is, to hold, as 'twere, the
mirror up to nature; to show virtue
her own fea ture, scorn her own image,
and the very age and body of the time
his form and pressure: o.
there be players, that have seen play
and heard others praise, and that highly
not to speak it profanely, that neither
having the accent of Christians, nor
the gait of Christian, Pagan, nor man,
have SO strutted and beloved, that
have thought some of natures Journey
men had made men, and not made them
well, they infatuated humanity so
abominably." But,
''Some there are
Who on the tip of their persuasive tongue

To make the weeper smile, the Laughter weep,
They have the dialect and different Skill
Catching all passions in their craft of will,
That in the general bosom they do reign
OF young and old, and either sex elchain.' -
The contestants appeared to have
closely studied Hamlot's instructions
and thereby escaped the structures he
applied to a certain class of players.
The quality is well spoken in the last
quotation.
The defamation contest was opened
with divine invocation by Rev. Jen-
nings, followed with a piano duett,
Country Dance" by Mrs. Morrison and
Mrs. Ollie, also an excellent violin solo
by Miss Bertha Picard, accompanied by
Miss Edna Little. The contestants
were Miss Harriet Stevenson, Ella
Breashears, Beryl Pinny, Nina Dodd,
Helen Gillespie and Gertie Hart. The
judges selected were Mr.. Frank ]. Smith,
Mr. II. D. Blatchley and Rev. D. A.
Clemmens. The possible degree of
perfection was $50 points and the judg-
ment rendered was as follows:
Harriet Stevenson Queen Vasti's LAMENT 12l
Ella Breshears CThe Painter of Seville) 1913
Beryl Pinney (MOna's Waters. .............l 1870
Nina DOdd "a Legend of Bregenz) ........... 1872
Helen Gillespie CThe Chariot Race ......... 1I9
Gertle Hart Qasca) ................. 1874
THE TRIBUNE must refrain from
special mention of the performances
as its comment might conflict with the
conclusions of the judges and thereby
cast discredit upon the verdict. The
excellence of the work is apparent
when it is considered that the extreme
difference in quality is only II points
out of possibility of 100 or more.
In justice to the young ladies it must
be said though, without questioning
the correctness of the Judgment, that
there was wide diversity of opinion

within a few months two houses have
made $250,0 900 each, according to the value
of their stock at present prices, compared
with the buying price. large mill has

The enormous profits have tempted out
side men to go into wool as a speculation
All the mills have stocked up with wool,
and II is reported from the interior of
New England that the storage capacity
Of buildings near the mills have been
needed to accommodate their stocks of
wool.
Some wool houses have gone into the
speculation so deeply that more than their
entire capital stock has been risked in the
venture. The Boston banks have sys-
tematically pursued the policy of liber-
ality toward the wool men. The men
themselves have been of a type to justify
confidence, while the wool has been an
asset always available. New York has
not been as liberal, and so Boston has
come TO be the wool market of the coun-
try.
