(From the Newcastle IEng.l Chrouicle)
The family OF Count Tolstoy has a large
circle of acquaintance. and hardly an
evening passes but there are guests. At
one music party a lady's singing displeased
Count Tolstoys boys and they adjourned to
another room and made noise. Their
father lost patience and went after them,
and characteristic admonition ensued:
Are you making a noise on purpose -
he asked.
After some hesitation came an answer in
the affirmative: "Y-y-yes.''
Does not her singing please you?"
well, no. Why does she how'll" de-

who gather on the upper and lower floors
of the gallery. where they can command a
view of the proceedings. The president
of the board of trustees pTesides and dis
tributes the awards. The Marine Band is
in attendance and the announcements are
made and the prizes distributed from the
platform of the main staircase of the
building, thus commanding the view and
hearing of the audience upon both the
upper and lower floors of the gallery.
The sealed envelopes containing the YER

president by Prof. +. u. Andrews, who has
been director of the school since its first
inception. The names of tn Sc receiving
awards and honorable mention are then
read for the first time and the medals are

for the six months the play has been
running at the Broadway Theater, the
gross receipts for that period being
$3.50. 900. General Wallace was not re-
quired to write anything for his mon

a contract giving William Young per-
mission to dramatize it for the use of
