were determined that it should be a
success. sis
The duet, "Life's Dreamis Der, !"
was rendered very effectively by
Mrs. T. R. Cowell and Mr.. John
K.ncaid. Mrs. CowelPs sweet So
prano and Mr.. Kidcaid's excellent
tenor blend we'll together and the
audience was delighted with the
rendition of the song SO much the
singers were compelled to respond
to All encore.
The drill The Leader of Com
pany B." ope of the most intricate
and hardest drills known, in which
great many older people have
been unable to take part on account
of their inability to learn the in
tricate movements, was depicted
last evening by the little ones in a
manner which reflected great credit
on their instructor. From the
commencement to the finish of the
drill there was not a break or a
flaw.
"The Serenade" by Mrs. T. R.
Cowell, was the next number on
the programme and it is unneces.
sary to say that the rendition of the
solo was all that could be desired.
Mrs. Cowell is we'll know as sing
er in Sistersville and no words of
praise are needed to tell OF addition
al success last evening.
The Scarf drill, a very pretty
thing, was the last on the pro-
gramme and was very neatly exc
cuted. The work of the orchestra
which furnished the music for the
entertainment was very fine and
many compliments were passed
upon it. Taken all in all, it was
very pleasing entertainment.

FIR om Fridays Daily.

Fr )m Fridays Daily.
The entertainment given in the
opera house last evening by Miss
Rae DIESEL and her Kindergarten
class was one of the SWEETEST events
of an amateur nature that has ever
been given in the city. For several
weeks Miss DIESEL has been very
busy rehearsing the little tots, some
of whom were over ten years old,
and the degree of perfection to
which they were brought reflects
great credit upon their instructress.
At eight o'clock last evening
when the doors of the opera house
opened there was large crowd
surging to and fro trying to get in
and secure the best seats and long
before the curtain rose en- the first
number ofthe programme the house
was well filled with tie many
friends and admiring relatives of
the little ones who we're to take
part in the entertainment.
The first number Of the pro-
gramme was 1.-THE Reprouf of the
Flower Girl" which was very
pretty thing. 1t was a sort of an
categorical incident, and was very
prettily portrayed by the little ones.
1t was in this part of the pro-
gramme that two little ones did an
imitation of the famous Skirt
dance" and it was perfection. They
were recalled, and were compelled
to respond to several encores.
"My Pretty Matquise," one of
the prettiest things ever written by
West, was the solo rendered by Mr..
John Kincaid, and to say that it
was we'll rendered, would be am
biguous. Mr.. Kincaid has pleas
ing voice. which he uses with much
force and effect, and over which he
has. good CONTROL. He was we'll re-
ceived and was compelled to re-
spond to an encore. ""H ."'.'".''ii
The nurse drill by twenty little
girls was very pleasing and inter-
esting part OF the programme. The
intricate nanouvers through which
the little opes grated were enough
to embarrass older ones than they,
but the little ones went through It
without any prompting and very
plainly showed they hadbeen care
fully drilled, and also that each one,
OF the little ones felt that on its
shoulders rested the failure orssuc-
cess Of the entertainment and they

the republican nomination for governor

Mccullough. The following letter APP
peared in yesterdays Burlington Free
Press:
Edi'or OF the Free Press:
Nv Dear Sir-My name has been men,
toned frequently during the past few
months as candidate at the coming
convention for the republican nomna-
ton Tor the high Office OF governor OF
Vermont; and | have received many as.
surances Of support from leading repub-
Leans in all parts OF the state, such az
would justify me IN expecting the nom
nation. My position from the first has
been that if it should come to me with
reasonable approach to unanimity in the
convention and with general approval
among the people, should esteem it a
high honor and should gratefully accept
it.
But am not willing to engage in an
unseemly contest, such as appears now
to be probable. do not think that a
struggle OF that sort, AS it might come to
be conducted, would be creditable to the
state or beneficial to the republican
party. More especially in the present
wear, when the country is confronted by
some OF the gravest and most perplexing
problems in its history, and when 1t is
most important that he party should be
strongly united in support OF the present
administration and its measures. 10
these it will be the privilege of the re-
publlcans OF Vermont to give their first
emphatic approval in the tall elections,
Their. by inspiring other states to the iull
performance o. their duty, as the ringing
voice from the Vermont hills has so often
done in the past, when voters elsewhere
have seemed to falter upon national
issues OF vital importance TO the republic.
must therefore decline TO be regarded
as a candidate, or TO throw any obstacle
in the way Of entire harmony in the
party.
In taking this course wish to assure
my friends throughout the state that |
am in no sense ungrateul TO them for
their confidence and proffered support,
which has placed me under obligations |
can never forget, but believe that with
me they will recognize as paramount the
Importance oil avoiding at this time every
semblance OF party dissension. am,
Yours very truly.
