ST. AGNES GUILD ENTERTAlNS.
Many People Pleased With an
Excellent Programme.

One of the best dramatic entertainments
ever held in Turn Hall. on Danforth ave-
nue.. Greenville, was given last evening
under the auspices of the St. Agnes
Guild of Grace p. E. Church of Green
vile. The entertainment was good in
every detail and all of the numbers were
thoroughly appreciated. The Rev. Per
cival Pyle, rector of Grace Church, was in
charge of the performance.
The first number rendered was a piano
duet by Misses Kyle and Kleppe. This
was followed with a tenor solo by Mr..
Joseph Hardy. The Greenyiile String
Quartette then rendered several selections
after which Miss T. E. Clark Of Bayonne
sang a soprano solo. Mr.. William Put
land, of the Thiesen Amateur Orchestra,
followed with a tenor solo. Probably the
best number en- the programme was the
rendering of the e-Intermezzo'' from
"Cavalleria Rustieana," was excellent, as
was also the rendering of "Cavatina.' A
one act farce entitled "A Business Mans
Troubles" was the next number. Messrs.
Charles Kleppe. William Kaiser and
Harry Moore took part in the farce. Reel
tations were then given by Mr.. Harry
Moore. after which the quintette again
played. Miss Mabel Cairnes gave a fancy
dance, which was followed by a either
duet by Miss Henning and Mr.. H. Reclaim.
The Thespian Mixed Quartette then sang
Moonlight Will Come Again" The
Thespian Dramatic Association of the
church concluded the performance with
an amusing farce entitled Thirty Minutes
for Refreshments.'' Dancing followed.

ton of any pumping plants after a new

officials vigorously object, Mayor Hoos
included. This defect in the Sheehan pro-
posal will doubtless prevent its accept
ance.
With the Sheehan and Rockaway pro-
posals out of the way only the bids Of
Flynn and Imam Company remain. The
Inman Company's plant was discussed at
length. No one disputed the fact that the
Inman' Company offers good water II
was held by the engineers and officIais,
however, that the plan embraces too
many canals and such devices which
would require constant attention. The.
gathering ground offered by that concern
is also regarded as being dangerously far
from the city. 1t was practically decided
that the plan was not the one the city
wants. The only one remaining Is that
of T. H. Flynn. To the general plan OF
the Flynn combination no fault Is found
The officials were inclined to the belief,
however that an award to Flynn will
mean long litigation.
For the first time since the water sub
ject has been discussed Corporation Coun-
sci McDerniott~ expressed an opinion about
the legal difficulties to be encountered.
He said:-"No matter which company is
awarded a contract, | believe we Will pc
able to defeat any effort the East Jersey
Company makes TO defeat 1t. An award
will Insure the making of a contract APP
proved by tine courts"
This announcement pleased and enCour-
aged the officials. Until next Tuesday the
FINANCE Commissioner will confer with
Engineers Ferris and Vermeule. They
viii doubtless announce at next Tues
days conference whether they are pre-
pared to vote for an award TO Flynn II
they are. the Street and Water Commits
sioners at their meeting Wednesday af-
ternoon will make the award The vote
may be three to two. unless Commissioners
Heintze goes over with Hauck, Nolan and
Smith. The vote in the Finance Beard
will probably be four to one, Mr. Simpson
being regarded as the one WHO will OPP
pose concurrence in an award to Flynn.
The question will then rest with Mayor
Hoos. Under the act governing such mat
tiers the Mayor may take all the time he
wishes. AS soon as he approves the con-
tract becomes binding. 1t is not compul-
sorry for him to veto an award to defeat
it. He merely has to p~igeonhole It:

STRAWBERRIES AND PATRIOTISM
Ladies' Home Society of the First
Presbyterian Church Gives a Feast.

The red. white and blue strawberry
festival, held last evening at DR.. Hers
Church, Emory street, was, without
showed, in the decorations, hard but
dies Home Society. Flags OF all sizes
n ages literally covered the walls. All
the windows and even the ice filter and
water pail were draped with the Stars
and Stripes. Although, of course, the
American flag predominated, Cuban flags
played an important part in the decora-
tions, and just to show that England is
Americas best friend, a large English
flag was stretched across the back of
the room, with here and there several
small ensigns of the same denomina-
ticns to keep it company. There were
many historical flags, too, one being a
relic from the battle of Bull Run.
The various tables were beautifully ar
ranged. each lady striving to Guido the
other in artistic display. All the tables
had large lamps, with white shades,
otherwise they were fixed to suit the
taste of the individual members of the
Home Society in charge. One of the
prettiest was that of Mrs. Ready. 1t
was in the corner of the room, just be-
low the English flag. which made an ex-
cellent background. From the chandelier
above the table came wide strips OF
red, white and blue paper ribbon, caught
at the four corners with large bows of
the same. Candelabra holding lighted
candles, with red, white and blue shades,
dotted the table, while the little flags
stuck in the various cakes and the
souvenir flag napkins gave finish to the
whole affair. Another very pretty sight
was the centre table, in charge of Mrs.
Joseph A. Dear, Mrs. Alfred Sidman and
Mrs. John Watson. This was a group of
tables. surrounding a centre table decor
ated with a number of small flags, which
fell gracefully over the others composing
the group, while potted plants and
palms gave the arrangement a refresh
ing n finished appearance.
All the ladies wore the American badge,
or. better still, natty bows of the red,
white n blue ribbon. in their hair. The
cream was excellent, as were the UNI
usually large berries, and each person
received a red, white and blue paper

were red, the cream was white and the

The slow Going War.

Once again the rumor is afloat hat the
Government is going to do something IN
the way of pushing the war. But there is
30 much difference as to what the some
thing is to be that the report is received
with ~incredulity. About once a week
word has been given out at Washington
that the war was going to begin in
earnest. and. each time, twenty-four
hours has shown that the rumor was
premature.
Meanwhile, the outside observer can see
nothing in our delay which is not farci-
cal. Spain has done nothing, apparently
is doing nothing. and. it would seem, can
do nothing. The voyage of ceryera's
ships has a remarkable resemblance to
the march of King Pepin's soldiers. Ant
there seems to be nothing in reserve.
The war, however, is costing this coun-
try millions through its mere existence
not the millions paid to soldiers and sail
ors, but the millions which are not earned
because nearly three hundred thousand
men are withdrawn from productive in
uustry. In this way, Spain is getting the
best Of the war. 50 long as we remain
inactive.
And through it all, the public feel the
certainty that the war could be ended by
one or two vigorous blows. Spain cannot
make any sort of aggressive fight under
any circumstances If we deal one or two
telling strokes at her colonies her people
will end the matter, SO far as we are CON
cerned, by dropping the struggle against
US to attempt the reform of their own
government.
Our conduct in calculating chances and
balancing hopes dangers is ridlcu-
lously pusilanamous, and it cannot but en-
courage other governments. so disposed
to Interfere in the quarrel and try to CO.
cree Us. Our best arce of safety IN
the final outcome is vigor now. and we are

The New oall for Recruits.

The system cd recruiting prescribed by
the government for the new call LOT
troops is extremely wise. 1t is calcuialeo
to promote sound organization and con-
tinuous efficiency in the army.
Nothing could be more preposterous
than the recruiting system % of the
late war. First of all, a number of regi-
ments were raised. Then, when more
men were wanted, another set of regi-
rnents were incorporated, and another and
another.
Meantime the first regiments became de-
pleted by sickness, casualties and deser-
tions. In time many became so thinned
out as to be mere skeletons, absolutely
useless for strategic or tactical purposes.
At the same time, the new regiments
green and unstable as men could be, with
pficers and men alike imperfectly drilled
and -unaccustomed to stand fire. Thus.
the armies were made up of skeleton or
ganizations of veterans and numerically
efHcient regiments of raw recruits. The
number of officers grew out of all pro-
portion to the enlisted men and to the
needs of the service.
Evidently, the only rational way of re-
nruiting armies in the field is to draft the
new ievies into the depleted regiments
which have seen service, keeping these up
to their full tactical strength. Thus the
stability of experience is maintained along
with the fullness of numbers which a
commander relies upon when he orders a
regiment or a brigade to perform this or
that service. The just proportion be-
tween officers and men is maintained.
The new men are Instructed and steadied
by the old ones. and the army is always
In its full state of efficiency in all its
parts
There is also a serious objection to
sending all the organized regiments away
from the sea coast. There is a bare
possibility of a random attack at some Inn
perfectly defended point, and it is prudent
If not necessary to keep troops within
reach. If this war were with a more
powerful nation than Spain, it would be
necessary to keep full army corps with
artillery at short intervals along the en-
tire coast line. There are a large number
of men who have never belonged to the
National Guard, who are anxious to en-
list for the war. They are very good
material for this second draft. They will
be useful to build up the regiments al
ready in the field. The National Guard
regiments are needed at home.
