aA2ssts saasA Pleasing Event ,4tfetst
Was the Carnival of Nations,s' en-
acted in the parlors OF the M. L,
church on Friday evening. OF last
week by Miss HolTister Of Cleveland,
who was very ably assisted by the
young people of the church.
e Miss Hollister is a young lady OF
very pleasing appearance and pos
sesses Evolutionary powers of RATHER
exceptional merit.
The church parlors were well filled
by an eager audience. The program
was somewhat brief and consisted
mostly, as the title implied, in repre-
sentations of people of foreign coun-
tries, the impersonators being clothed
in appropriate costumes.
In making mention of the several
parts of the program we are unfortu-
nately obliged to omit names of the
participants, as our reporter was un-
acquainted with them and they do
not appear on the program handed
him for reference.
The orchestra rendered musical
selection in a very creditable manner
Miss Hollister followed with a recita-
ton entitled "The Sisterly Scheme y
and told how young sister won the
heart and hand of a man who was
smitten with the charms of a some
what wilful elder sister, by engaging
in a Irritation with him in order to
arouse her jealousy and thus induce
the elder sister to desire his atten-
tions. The affair terminated in a
manner that might have been expect
ed and evidently was, by the artful
younger sister, from the start.
The first representation in the
Carnival of Nations" was of Eng
land, the home of great men with
great mothers, and was given by a
sweet little girl arrayed in large
white apron and wearing pair OF
grandma's gold bowed glasses; hold
ing on her knee a large dolly. She
sang an appropriate lullaby: "The
hand that rocks the cradle, rules the
world"
Germany was represented by cou'
pie of young fellows who nearly fell
over backwards in an attempt to i'm
itate the bay window effect custom
airy with so many of that people who
indulge freely in beer. One of the
Germans puffed an immense pipe, ev'
identity of home manufacture, and be.
tween them they supported long
string of bolognas from which one Of
them took liberal bite. We did moi
smell any Dimberger.
Social life in Japan was depicted by
four pretty young ladies becomingly
attired in appropriate costume, seated
on the floor in circle evidently en-
joying a sup of the beverage which
old maids are accredited with being
especially fond.
"Picaniny Lullaby" was then sung
in charming manner by young
lady having sweet and well Guilt
waited voice. Four or five OF the boy,
then came on with blackengik ees
and clothed in various colors, yellow
predominating, and represented be
nighted Africa. They favored The
audience with real old negro camI
meeting song, which pleased then
very much.
Miss Hollister followed this with ;
recitation in the Scotch dialect enti
tied, "Cuddle Doom" and then relateC
the woes of farmer maiden wh(
loved neighbor boy against the wish
es of her mama. The girl seemed t.
think her mother had forgotten he
own youthful days.
France was represented by soldie,
in uniform who sang song yer!
lauditory of himself as a man Of con
quest, etc.
The funniest piece of them all wa
entitled "Old Ireland" A couple o
Irish ladies appeared and one relate,
to the other all her family troubles
The stony-hearted tax assessor ha,
visited her home and through som
misconstruction of the law relatin;
to taxes on live stock, on his part, h
had assessed the family goat at $2(
Bridget was much Wrought up an
expressed her indignation against tn
tax man in rich brogue, which wa
very entertaining.
Last but not least" on the program
was the old song of patriotism wit
the chorus: "Three Cheers for tn
Red, White and Blue" sung by
young lady draped in the nations
colors. This number was very warn
ly applauded by the audience.
The orchestra rendered another 81
lection and the entertainment CLOSED
1t was a very enjoyable affair an
those who did not attend, missed
genuine treat.
