The literary and musical entertainment
given on last "Wednesday by the Epworth
League of Centenary NJ. +. Church. this
city, was thoroughly enjoyed by all who
attended. Miss Miriam Lee Early, of tho

selections. Miss Early is not only natnr.
ally gifted as an elocutionist, but her
splendid training gives her peculiar power
over her audience Various choice selec
lions OF music were rendered by members
of the Church Choir, and two pieces were
given by class of young ladies under the
direction of Mrs. Moffeit These young
people have excellent voices, the train z

RECREATION.

Everybody needs rest and recreation.
This is demonstrated when an enter
tainment comes to the city, or when
an excursion takes away the weary
workers. Every catchpenny amuse-
ment is sought out and patroniZed-
why? Because it is rest from the
ordinary, every day tolls of busy life.
1t is cheering to know that Robert
Liverton is about introducing an enter
prise for the entertainment of all who
are fond of boating, and where in all
the catalogues of pastimes is there any
sport more pleasant than sail on the
placid waters of some beautiful stream?
And where, may we ask, is the stream
which surpasses the Delaware in love
Illness of scenery and freedom from
danger? A Steam Launch has been
purchased to which will be attached a
second boat or trailer, suitable to ac-
commodate fifty persons, which will be
run at certain hours of day and night,
from the foot of Coryell street, where
safe and substantial wharf has been
constructed. An arc-light will be
erected to make it entirely safe after
dark in getting on and off the steamer
The boats will be in charge of suitable
persons and everything will be done to
give patrons satisfaction. At certain
times music will be furnished to en-
liven the trip. Private parties can
arrange with the manager for special
hours, when none but those interested
will be allowed on board. The schedule
of prices may be obtained from the
manager. This new feature of amuse-
ment will fill long felt want
Pickering and Van Sewers orchestra
will furnish music on the boats on the
evening Of Decoration Day.

MORE FACTS.

Mr.. EDITOR Leader Strauss, of
Liberty Band, makes his appearance in
last weeks "Wage-Worker with some
"TRuE FACTS said facts being sub
stantially the same as those given by
the Memorial Day Committee and 90
to prove the correctness of our state
ment made last week. Therefore, it is
useless to carry this controversy further.
We preferred to hire Liberty Band and
asked them their price. Their figures
were too high for our "plle " and we
went elsewhere, securing a Band out of
town at much lower figure. Two or
three references to Leader Strauss
statement and then we are done.
He says, "Our friends of the Com
mlttee are evidently twisted" From
our way of looking, the twisting APP

says in the beginning of his letter, 81

mcnt of facts" Did any one ever at
tempt to give an UNTRUE statement of
FACTS ? That was bad twist"
When our Committee waited upon
the Band and learned their figures
(4I.a5) they said at once they could
not pay that much, when one of the
members said, What's the difference
to you fellows ? The money is given
to you as much as to say, " You old
soldiers go beg all the money you can,
and then come and give it to us"
That was twist" that wouldn't twist
In another part of his " statement Of
TRUE FACTS he says, ave will wait
and see if they get music" referring to
the Band we have engageO. Does he
mean that he intends to prevent us
from having music on Memorial Day,
or is he poking fun at the Band1 If
the latter, then he displays great
amount of IGNORANCE 1--WE borrow this
word from Leader Strauss in slurring
an organization the members of which
are graduates OF the Strauss school of
music.
Through the courtesy Of the trustees
of the First Baptist Church we were
saved the expense Of erecting a stand
last year, but we always imagined our
financial affairs were properly attended
to by the Post and not by an outside
organization. The Post does not at
tempt to look after the financial condi.
ton of Liberty Band.
Leader Strauss, in closing his state
ment of TRUE FACTS" referring to our
Committee, says, "a poor excuse is
better than none" Excuse for what
Surely, we have no excuse to offer.
AS we said above, Leader Strauss is

A HOlD-UP.

Henry Knowles, of this city, whom
everybody knows, met with an expert
ence at the electric light plant on
Thursday morning last that he will
long remember. Henry is the night
man at the plant, and is alone after
eight o'clock at night Besides at
tending to the dynamos, he looks after
the engine and fires. About one o clock
on Thursday morning last as he was
coming from the fire room, he was
confronted by two burly colored men,
both heavily masked, who demanded
to know where the safe was kept, at
the same time leveling two revolvers
at him. They were informed that
there was neither safe nor any money
about the place, but not being salts
fed, one of the men instituted search,
while the other kept guard over Mr..
X. Not finding any money, one of
the men lay down and quietly went to
sleep. The other fellow told Knowles
not to give any alarm, if he valued his
life, at the same time displaying two
ugly looking razors. Knowles was
allowed to attend to his duties around
the plant, but the negro followed him
around with his revolver, levelled at
him to prevent any alarm being given.
Under these conditions, Knowles work
ed until four o'clock, when both men
left the plant and have not since been
seen. Knowles describes the desper-
ADDE'S as being heavily built, over six
feet tall and as ugly type as ever met
his gaze. Henry is still on duty
nights, at the plant, and is prepared
to give the next visitors on like mis-
sion, warm reception.

LIBERTY BAND AND THE c. A. r.

MIR. EDITOR After reading the
communication from the Memorial Day
Committee, in your last issue, in answer
to a communication in the "Wage-
Worker -" signed "a Member of the
Band" we feel it our duty to give you
a true statement of the facts.
Our friends of the Committee are
evidently twisted on the figures, for they
say, We have been paying Liberty
Band for several years past from $50
to SIS on each occasion, and this year
they ask S4I.2s." The first part of this
statement is correct, as far as it goes.
Permit me to add that the G. A. X.
has been paying Liberty Band for sew
eral years from $50 to SIS on each oc-
caslon. What for7 To play "a half
dozen tunes ?" No; but To ESCORT
THEM TO MOUNT HopE CEMETERY,
take part in the exercises there, after
which bring them back to the Post
rooms sometimes play at exercises No.
,, held in hall or church), and yet
only play "a half-dozen tunes Qonp
tunes). The rest of the statement is
false, for Liberty Band agreed to rem
der the same service this year for the
sum of SSl.so, furnishing a Band of
twenty pieces, and agreed to deduct
from this price $3.50 for every man
short OF twenty pieces. Last year the
Band accompanied the Post 10 River
view Cemetery, not making any charge,
as 1t occurred on Sunday afternoon.
BY the way, Mr.. Welsch, of the Commit
tee, was told that the Band would do the
same this year, provided they would go
to Rlverview on Sunday afternoon but
when they asked for our price to go to
Riverview Cemetery on Tuesday morn
ing, we added SIS to the above price,
which is not unreasonable for a Band
OF twenty pieces. 1t seems that there
is great deal Of ignorance displayed
I'm regard to hiring Band) by a COM
mttee who will try to cipher out how
much per tune the Band will cost them
(this is the latesD. We can prove to
them, by our own societies and others
outside of this city, that Liberty Band
always plays as often, if not oltener,
than any other Band, when on engage
ment. According to their statement,
they have taken the advice OF numer-
Gus citizens, including members of
Council, and gone away from home
for music" We will wait and see if
they get music. Ask the "Union
boys" Taking the facts as presented,
we think the extra ten-dollar bill tackled
on to the usual Memorial Day price"
was tackled by the Committee, for
Our figures for this year were about as
small as we ever received from them,
according to their own statement. One
question: How much of the SIS did il
take to erect the stand last yearp But,
as the old saying goes, perhaps the
Committee think "A poor excuse is
better than none"
