The closing exercises Of the school

The closing exercises Of the school
which we're held at the Opera house
last Friday evening were fine and will
long be rendered by those who heard
them as we'll as by those who partici-
pated. The graduating class was small
only two participating and receiving
their diplomas. Father Time and his
family Of days, hours, minutes and sec
onds scored a great success. The drills
of the little folks seconds, minutes aud
hours were exceptionally fine and show
painstaking effort on the part of both
pupils and teachers. They all went
through their parts withouta hitch and
where all did so well it would seem like
partially to single out anyone for par
ticular mention. The Opera House
was crowded to it's fullest extent and
many were turn ed away being unable
to gain admission. 1t has always been
customary in the past to hold the clos
ing exercises in the rink aud it has al
ways proved none to large to accomo-
date the patrons who desired to attend.
This year when it came to securing
place for holding the exercises the board
became very economical and could not
afford to spend the money necessary to
secure the rink. Mr.. Keuhne, the
proprietor asked thirty dollars for the
use of the building and piano and for
the weeks of practic, and the last
evening" entertainment or ten dollars
for the use of the rink and piano for
the last evening alone, but the board
thought this to much and so got the
Opera house. If it should prove that
the board had practiced the same rigid
economy throughout their whole ad-
ministration as they manifested in re-
gard to the hall, the taxpayers will be
agreeably surprised.

OuE EiTT1nx SuDJGSl8 VINO lnuulRe In
Devil Worship.
Our Filipino brothers, not content with the
cannibalism they are bringing to us, will be
able to initiate us In many wonderful religious
ceremonies. There are strange scots on the
islands, and one of the most mysterious is the
Davatawi Yezias a small race numbering sew
eral thousand of the most fanatical Mahomme-
tans of the Island Of Mindanao. Although
numerically inferior to the great tribes sur
rounding them, their bold and warlike nature
has preserved them from aggression, and for
hundreds of years they have maintained a
unique faith !, differing entirely from that Of
the other savage tribes of the islands, Their
chief village is She!ha, in Southern Mindanao.
Few Europeans have ever entered this mys-
FERROUS place and fewer still, have witnessed
the strange rites performed there. Even the
barbarous Philippine tribes ascribe a super
natural reputation to that land and shun it as
the abode of devils and malevolent evil spirits.
During my explorations in the Philippines /
fortunately reached this strange city just be-
fore Tho ysaFlss-eeAabration was to take place.
says writer in the New York Press The
Yezias although fanatically brave when their
religion Is assailed, are mild and peaceable
race Of agriculturists and we were invited to
view the subsequent ceremonies. The pre-
cepts Of the sect may well puzzle theologists,
for while all the other Philippine tribes are en-.
gagged in worshiping mum srous gods and deities
and perenially bent n encompassing the de-
'struction of devils and evil spirits they have
adopted an antithetical religion, paying all
homage to malevolentl deities while seeking to
destroy all good ones. Yet these people are
prosperous and In every way superior to their
savage neighbors. (. -. +
