Trouble for the standard.

Last year the Standard removed
their pipe line from the river from
Granville here and run it in in an
other direction crossing near the Y.
The work was costly one and they
thought that they had gotten rid of
some threatened dangers. Now it
has developed that they must take
up the line on account of the loca-
ton Of the lock which is to go just
above town. The lock has been To-
Gated just opposite the Y and it will
neces state the removal of the pipe
line No orders hav been received
by the standard employees to do
this as yet but they are daily ex.
pected. However they may not have
to be carried out until Spring as
work on the lock will not begin until
then.

CHARITY ENTERTAINMENT
Plans for the Affair About
COMPLETED.

Elaborate Entertainment Proposed.
Three Parts to the Program---Ex-
cellent Directors in Charge of Each
Popular Prices Will Draw Large
Crowd.
The plans of the committee in
charge OF the proposed charity enter
tainment have been about perfected
and the date for the affair has been
set. 1t will occur on the 25th of this
month. The ladies in charge have
been busily engaged on the various
parts of the proposed entertainment
and have interested enough home
talent in it to give promise of the
finest entertainment ever given in the
city.
The program will consist of three
parts. The musical department is
under the direction of Prof. Ellen
berger; the orchestra is being coached
by Prof. Keene, and the comedy
which is to be given is under the d.
rection of Prof. Whyte. Home talent
will be used in every case.
The comedy which is to be given is
tSweethearts, and it is to be very
fine one and will be well rendered.
The performers have been hard at
work on it for some time. One of the
most enjoyable features of the enter
tainment is''expected to be the minuet
which will be danced in the costume
of the olden time when the stately
minuet was the prevailing dance.
The dance itself is most beautiful. 1t
has been culled from the 'sKirmiss"
which few years ago was gwen in
all the larger cities and which proved
to be very popular. Mr.. George At
kinson took part in it at that time
and is instructing the performers who
have been practicing on this for some
time.
Popular prices will prevail and the
attendance will likely be the largest
of any event Of recent years in the
town. The cause of charity for which
it is given appeals to the public and
besides this motive a very fine per-
Torrance is promised. These two
causes will bring out an immense
crowd.
