The Cath.lIc Fair Co,eert,

Tho concert given by the Cath
ole Fair Thanksgiving night was
we'll attended.
An overture by the Monte Vista
band was the first number on the
program. This band under the
direction of Prof. Nicholson has
become the pride of the town, and
was heartily applauded.
Miss Nellie Corletts recitation
of The Stormy Night cvinced IL
good deal Of feeling and was rem
dered in an easy and graceful man.
ner.
Tho Monte Vista quartcttc sang
one of its now songs entitled, ''The
Harvest Moon," which elected IL
hearty encore, in response to which
the quartctte sang another verse Of
the same piece.
MIR. Kelley, of Saguachc. gave a
baritone solo which was followed
by selection by the band.
The Soldiers Home quartctte
was the happy hit of the evening
and was twice called back.
The audience was evidently ex-
pectant in respect to the cornct
solo by Prof. Nicholson, and were
highly gratificd with his produc-
ton. HIS excellent rendition of
the selection convinced his hearers
that he is n master of tho instru-
mcnt.
On the whole the concert was Il
success from social and financial
standpoint.

The Bicycle Case.

John Greenles was brought
down from Creede Saturday by
Sheriff Gibbs on charge of petty
larceny.
Over a month ago Greenlee
rented q wheel OF b. X. Elliott Il
Co., presumably for a few days,
and rode it TO Creede where b. has
since been working in the mines.
Accidentally hearing of his where
abouts, Charley Stutsman imme-
diately sent the sheriff to secure
his return to Monte Vista where
trial was had Monday before Judge
Lewis. Instead of binding Green
lee over to the April term Of court
and to save costs, etc, he was given
10 days IN the county Jail.
Greenlee is quite we'll known
here, having played ball with the
Monte Vista nine and worked dur
ing the summer for several OF the
ranchmen. He is an unusually
intelligent young man aud his re-
cent scrape has greatly surprised
his friends and acquaintances.

THE GOOD WORK GOES.

The greatest enthusiasm prevails
among the citizens in regard to the
ovation to he given to the United
States troops as they pass on their
way to Manila. There is no race and
no class distinction, but one and all
put their shoulders willingly to the
wheel to ensure the success of one OF
the most popular movements ever
proposed in Honolulu. The various
committees are very busy and now
that the ladies have joined the ranks
things are pushed along with the
greatest vigor. The fairer sex always
adds energy and good ideas to the
more clumsy efforts of the males.
That the ships will put in an APP
pearance tomorrow is doubtful. With
every incentive to speed it is hard to
get vessels off exactly to the day,
when they have to be fitted up for
the reception of troops and have fur
Their to take in supplies both for the
long voyage and for the use of the
expedition now in Manila. Still, SUI
perhuman energy may overcome all
difficulties, and they might arrive. At
all events it behoves the citizens to
be ready in any event.
Honolulu will have an opportunity
of showing its thorough-going Anne
ricanism. The country is and has
been American in feeling for years
past. The various nationalities merge
themselves into the one. American
money has made this the wealthy lit
tie country that it is. and American
ideas permeate our social life, our
school system and our political meth
DDS. Our government has declared it
self unequivocally for the United
States and our citizens will show &;
similar spirit.

ECONOMY AGAIN.

The members of the House who
terday afternoon, enjoyed a sort of
picnic and showed their constituents
and the public in general what they
were capable of doing with the public
funds if they were left to their own
sweet will. But they finally lost the
support of some of the members of
their own party and the House adj
iourned.
1t should be thoroughly understood
by the public that what the members
in favor of economy aim at is not in
maintain the salaries at the figures
which they were during the last BIZ
ennial period. The Senate had put
up the salary bill no less than $780,
600 in advance of what was allowed
at the last session, and it is clear that
some effort should be made to avoid
so large an advance. 1t is not a
pleasant duty to have to refuse add
vance in pay to men who worthily do
their work, but however unpleasant
! it is, it has to be done.
The House has also made some act
ual reductions, but these have been
caused by the work being made light
er. and less responsible through the
new audit act. If the audit act is not
to work for economy and efficiency,
| it had better never have been passed.
There is quite a cry about parsimony,
but people should think carefully be-
| fore they give ear to such charges.
Nothing is more easy than to vote
away public money, and nothing is
more popular with certain classes.
| But duty is duty and representatives
of the people should be even more
careful of public funds than they
would be of their own.
