AN IRVING RECITAL.

A pleasant evening was enjoyed by the
students and faculty of Virginia College
last Saturday, November 6, the occasion
being an Irving recital before the school,
by the junior students in literature and
elocution. The biographical sketch pre-
pared and read by Miss Mary Davenport
was good. Miss Mamie Strauss paper
upon the literary career of Wash ington
Irving was an appreciative criticism of
his writings. Miss Daisy Stuart gave a
vivid sketch of Peter Stuyvesant that Wig
orous old Dutch governor. whom Irving
has so humorously DIES cribed in Knicker-
bocker's History of New York. The Ia.
nous legend of Sleepy Hollow adapted
from the Sketch Book was given with
thrilling effect by Miss Bessie Der uer
OF the many charming Moorish tales and
traditions which Irving has perpetuated
in 'The Alhambra," there are none more
bewitching than the legends of 1.-The
Three Beautiful Princesses,' and 1.-The
Ross of the Alhambra." Miss Frazer
Walsh told the tale of 1.-The Three Beauti-
full Princesses" with a freedom and ami
nation which held her audience with
deep interest for twenty minutes. 1.-The
Ross Of the Alhainbra' as related by Miss
Lucille Holman was no less entertaining
and was equally successful in its rendi-
ton. The evident appreciation of the
audience was very encouraging to the
teachers who planned and the students
who executed the programme, for it is
their wish to give such literary rectals
before the school every month. Miss
Aunspaugh, teacher of elocuticn, aims in
all her work to awaken in the students
love for the best literature and to develop
in them the power of literary interpreta-
tion. Good reading is the foundation
upon which all her elocution work is
based. Miss Sawyer, teacher OF literature,
recognizes the value of vocal interpreta-
ton az an effective and powerful assist
ant in all literary work. This appreci-
alton of the vital connection between the
studies of literature and elocution is as it
should be, and Virginia College cannot
emphasize this truth too strongly. The
writer has long maintained that no col
lege should grant a diploma in English
to student who could not give intelii
gent vocal Interpretation to the best lit
erature.

THE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER.
The Changed Conditions of the Times
Make 1t Necessary.
Newspaper Maker


Rev. Francis f. Hopkins, d. D.. pastor of
the First Congregational Church, of Du-
buque. Ia. had something good to say of
the Sunday newspaper.
He said it was a product of the changed
condition of the times, and had grown out
of their necessities. If he could have had
his way, originally, he would have opposed
the Sunday newspaper; but now it had
come TO stay, and he was in favor of il. 1t
was filling a lon4felt want. The sins of
the Sunday newspaper were the publication
of advertisements that have tendency to
make people immoral and the publishing of
news OF a questionable character; and he
thought that the proprfetorS of Sunday pa

Imprisonment for publishing obscene adVer-

the same time the Sunday paper is a great

men were intelligent and had families which
they desired should walk in the path of rec

terprise and the men publishing il wanted

other things on Sunday A merchant owns
a ship that he expects to arrive in port on
Saturday. He talves up his Sunday paper
safely in port; that God has prospered his
enterprise and given him the means to pay
his debts and he goes TO church on Sun

his snip had arrived and he would be kept
in a perturbed condition of mind until he

STRIKE AT NAVY YARDS.
Spain Six Months in Arrears on Pay

HAVANA, via Key West, Fla, July IT,
1t is announced that AL men attached to
the government navy yards went on strike
yesterday. The claim is made that the gov
eminent is six months in arrears of pay
ment of the strikers. The men secured adj
vances on their salaries from the local
money lenders. These money lenders have
refused to advance additional funds, and
this refusal, it is understood, precipitated
the strike. General Marin, in view of the
pacific stand taken by the strikers, has or
dered meals served to them on govern
ment account. 1t is announced that eighty
two of the strikers have already returned
