A CHARMING ENTERTAINMENT
Was That at Convent Hall, Last
Evening,
In Honor of the Silver Jubilee Of
Sister Mary Sebastian MacArdle.
A Large Audience Present-The
Programme in Detail.

A charming private entertainment in
honor of the Silver Jubilee Of Sister
Mary Sebastian MacArdle was given in
the Convent Music Hall, last evening,
by the junior pupils of st. Josephs
Academy. Notwithstanding the allure
ments of vacation, the little ones dis
tinguished themselves in their various
performances and reflected great credit
upon their instructress.
The grand minuet was performed
with a precision and dignity worthy OF
the old colonial days. In the beautiful
dramatic poem, The Birth Of the Rain
bow" and in the play, A Legend OF
the Forest" exquisite pictures were
presented. The spirits and fairies were
as sweet and graceful as spirits and
fairies ought to be, while their recita-
tions would have done credit TO much
older children.
The chOruses were finely selected and
remarkably well sung The instru-
mental duets were we'll and correctly
played
We cannot avoid a passing congrat-
ulatiOn to the young male performers or
the evening, the violinist, Master Geo.
Greene, Of kindergarten celebrity. The
closing address of the children was re-
cited by Miss Loretta Greene in clear,
pleasing voice and with appropriate ex-
preston.
Between the numbers the audience
was entertained by musical selections
which were executed with fine taste by
Master Vincent Owens and Miss Mamie
Owens.
Sister NJ. Sebastian is we'll known In
Wheeling as an efficient teacher with
a special insight into the various char
acters of children which enables her
to win their love and confidence as we'll
as their entire obedience. All the chill
dren present had. at different times,
been members of her classes, and at the
close Of the programme each child pre-
sented a floral offering as a token OF
her affectionate regard. The pro-
gramme was as follows:

Governor Hastings Ha.chet.

I Governor Hastings veto AK seems
to be carrying it's edge well, and he
is hewing to the line. What wor-
ries many Pennsylvania statesmen
much more, however, than the veto
is the Governors objectionable Gu
riosity in the matter of itemized
statements for some of the legisla-
| tive steals which these gentlemen
hoped would pass, as such bills have
usually done, without examination
or question. Their wry faces are
amusing to the public as wei! as to
these members of the Legislature
who were so fortunate as not to be
appointed on committees to do bus
mess outside of Harrisburg. Some
of the members whose big bills ale
under fire denoupce the Governor
as demagogue others more dis
Greet declare that he is all right, and
is simply asking for what every COM
mittee should willingly furnish,
while others cannot express any
opinion until they "see man" or
two.
The Governors position on the
Grace Church bill seems eminently
far. He says that if any dishonest
feature in connection with it can be
pointed out he will smite it like any
other steal The Governor deserves
the thanks of all good citizens in his
efforts to stand between the people
and those who would loot their
treasury under the forms of law.
The worst feature of Governor
Hastings position is that he did not
see these steals two years ago. At
that time the Governor approved all
bills for increase in salaries and for
the creation of new offices as we'll as
the lump-sum stealings of the Legis-
lature and the eytravagant prices
for material contracted by Delaney.
We are glad Governor Hastings is
doing his duty. bat the question
now arises, whether Governor Hast
ings is prompted by spirit of pub
lie economy, or vengeance toward
Quays friends in the Legislature, or
controlled entirely by desire to
keep money there to be plundered
and pillaged by those who will re-
main there several years more. One
thing is sure, he will keep the mem
bers of the Legislature from getting
it and if the Governor is really sin
cere in his efforts to redeem his
place in the confidence of the people
we shall gladly give to him the credit
he certainly deserves.
