Ladies' Aid Fair.

The annual fair given at Music Hall
by the Ladies' Aid was a thorough sue
cess, socially and financially. The
several booths beautifully adorned the
well filled hall, and the literary program
though short, VAS a very pleasing one.
The negro song by Lilah AEbay, Letta
Jeargin, Mabel Dolan and Fannie Pike,
was pleasing and would have made real
little negro girls take a back seat in
rendering the same selection.
The glee club, consisting OF Misses
Florence Blivan, Mabel McCumber,
Edith and Winnie Bellam, Messrs. Girls
void, Haight, Gregg and Kistler, rem
dered two very good selections during
the evening and were loudly applauded.
The vocal solo rendered by Mrs. I. j.
Yeargin was sweetly sung and highly
appreciated.
Jennie Abbay, Roy Pike, Allen Wick
land and Joe Jackson proved themselves
worthy of praise in their rendition of a
dialogue in which the boys showed
themselves artists.
After the literary program the hall
became a scene Of happy commotion,
some buying candy for sweethearts, some
taking a chance at the fish pond, some
buying fancy articles for Christmas
presents for their best girls, while the
small boys and girls were in on every
amusing event that occurred. The
candy booth was a very attractive spot
and the popular young ladies who pre-.
sided over it were Misses ALA Clippin-
ger, Mabel McCumber and Ehie Tur-
man, and of course they sold all the
sweetness they had for sale.
The fish pond afforded much amuse-
ment, although this booth is very diff
cult to manage naturally, but everything
vent we'll under the able superintend-
ence of Mrs. J. F. George and Misses
Edith Bellam and May Givan, who baited
a good many hooks for the young men
and the bites were accordingly.
The fancy booth, under the manage
ment of Mrs. Beemer, Mrs. Cook and
Mrs. Driscoll, was artistic in it's display
and fancy work OF all descriptions sold
like hot cakes.
The coffee booth was where the young
couples took solid comfort in u quiet way
partaking OF delicious Mocha and Java.
This booth was presided over by Mrs. r.
NJ. Wickland, Mrs. Stilwell and Miss
Annie Blundell.
One OF the most inviting booths was
the Japanese booth, where the patrons
could take their choice of q cup or
saucer and drink or eat chocolate and
cake served with model grace by Mrs.
W. B. Van Horn, Mrs. w. E. Cobb and
Mrs. F. C. Hampton. The cups and
saucers were kept by the patrons AS
souvenirs of the occasion.
The door was ably managed by Miss
Jennie Lundy and Edward Beemer.
The Ladies' Aid ia deserving of a great
deal of praise for the management Of this
and many other similar affairs, and their
talents as entertainers have been ably
demonstrated. They sold everything
prepared ut the booths and o financial
statement will be given later.

pected of each teacher has been made to
conform to the standard set by the prln-
cipal schools Of the state, and as re-
quired by the state course of study.
Two OF these branches we wish to
speak Of, viz, Latin and literature.
The study of Latin is a positive neces-
sity in nearly all the high schools in the
land. A knowledge OF Latin broadens
our information as regards all language.
About three-eighths or nearly half the
words in the English language are de-
rived from Latin, consequently a know
ledge of it, ever if limited, enables n
to more readily get at the meaning OF
any word. Then its help in English
grammar is truly wonderful.
1t is the language used in all the arts
and sciences, particularly in their no
menclature. Nearly all the European
languages are derived from it.
As to entering any frst-class univer-
sity without having some knowledge OF
Latin is simply out OF the question.
Now as for literature This is branch
that certainly has been neglected in all
our country schools ,'Shis''i is a branch
that should be considered just as neces-
sary as grammar.
To be ignorant OF the beauties of liter
ature is indeed a misfortune. This
oversight has been corrected, and the
many fine works ofour American authors
are being made familiar to our boys and
girls.
Among other good things there is
regular instruction in manner and
morals. A short talk is given each week
upon some well known maxim of indus
try or politeness.
Each room has a time for every class
and study, SO that if necessary the prin-
cipal can tell what Is being done at any
time in any ROOM. The discipline is
perfect, almost military in its exacting
nature. Everything moves along
smoothly under this system and no time
is wasted.
Particular attention is being paid to
composition, which, by the way, is an
other branch hat has been overlooked.
The pupils in all rooms are being taught
to express themselves easily and natu-
rally by means of debates which take
place quite often. In fact the course
calls for public exercises from each room
at least once each month. The school is
not quite as well equipped with aopara-
tus as it should be, still the teachers
manage to get along on what they have.
Everything in that line is constantly in
use.
The pupils are taught lessons OF
patriotism regularly. Music is still
another thing that has been among the
missing for several years. Now, however,
the 100 pupils just make the house ring
in singing patriotic songs, and do it well,
too.
Every little detail is receiving the at
tention Of the teachers and all things
considered the school is doing famously.
Heretofore it has been impossible for
any pupil from this school to enter the
freshman class at the state university.
1t has not been the fault Of the pupils
themselves, but entirely due to the fact
that they had not been prepared
properly. This has been re,nedied at
last and our scholars stand where they
should be-on a par with Reno.
The principal has been instructed by
the board to publish monthly a short
report OF what is being done in all de-
partments, thus keeping all the patrons
fully advised.

EDHEM NAY MARCH TO ATHENS
RUSSIA's WAR PARTY URGING THE
SULTAN NOT TO STOP.

King George Appeals 10 the Powers
Through the Czar TO Mediate, and
an Armistice Likely to he ArrRng-
ed-Turkey Anxious to Hold TheS-
sally in Pawn Until Greece Pays
War Indemnity-Greece Sure to
Lose Crete.
Copyright, 1897 by the Associated Press.
London, May S.-The war monopolizes
attention, and there are few other topics
of interest. The news from Thessaly has
added fresh chapters to the story of the
Greek debacle. The powers are anxious
that hostilities shall end.
Turkey, however, does not seem dis
posed to arrest her army in the midst of
it's triumphs. The war party at the Iil-
diz kiosk is very strong, and wishes the
complete humiliation of Greece. 1t IS
urging the sultan not to stop his troops
until Edhem Pasha is quartered in
Athens.
The Turkish government has concluded
a loan with the lighthouse administration
for $780, 600 ($25OO.OOW at 9 per cent. Part
of this money will be devoted to war pur-
poses.
The impression now prevails that an
armistice will soon be arranged. King
George has asked the powers, through
the car, to mediate, and it is expected
the Greek government will follow imme-
diately with an official request for medi-
alton. Greece will have to yield in re-
gard to the evacuation of Crete. Ger
many strongly insists on this point, con
sidering intervention to be utterly use
less while Greek troops remain in Crete.
France, Great Britain and Italy are dis
posed to be more lenient, but Germany
will carry the point.
The negotiations will be extremely diff
fcult, on account of the question of in
demnity Greece, as a matter of course,
should pay Turkeys war expenses, but it
is doubtful if Greece will be able to pay
a cent. The sultan wishes to keep Thes-
sally in pawn until the money is paid or
| Europe guarantees the payment of the in
demnity.
The powers are exerting their influence
| to maintain King George upon the throne
| of Greece, and it is stated that the Rus
sian minister at Athens, M. Onou, has de-
| clared to M. Rail- that If Greece remains
| loyal to her royal family the powers will
| do their best to lessen the full burden of
| the war; but, should the Greeks bring a
| catastrophe upon the royal house, the
powers will unrelentingly let things take
| their course. From another quarter it is
| declared that at st. Petersburg they al
ready reckon upon the probability of the
| royal family leaving Athens, and that
Queen Olga Is to go to her mother. the
Grand Duchess Josephoyna of Russia.
