Meeting of Building and Loan.

The Board of Directors of the
Building and Loan Association met
last Friday afternoon at the office of
the Treasurer, Mr.. Geo. w. Saxon.
Several matters of Importance were
transacted especially looking to the
closing up OF the present series. The
treasurer announced that all active
shares III the Association could be
brought to maturity by the payment
of $l7.81 per share. There was
general disposition to close ont this
series at once, by paying that amount
into the Association, and to open a
new series Immediately. In discuss
ing the question of opening new
series, Mr.. Saxon said that he thought
the present a most OppOrtune time
for doing SO as there had been num-
erous inquiries, as to when one would
be, started. He thought that we had
every reason to be encouraged over
the further outlook of Tallahassee.
That the railroad to Bainbridge was
practically assured and would be
running before the end of next year.
He spoke in every way most en-
couragingly Of our future prospects.
After some further discussion, the
treasurer was ordered by the direc-
tors to open the books for subscrib-
ers to a new series. The number of
the shares of any series is limited by
the constitution to six hundred
shares. The treasurer as directed
opened his books for subscribers on
Monday, and large number of
shares were subscribed on the first
day.
This Building and Loan Associa-
ton has been in the past great ben
eft 70 Tallahassee and has enabled a
large number of men, on small sala-
ries, to build comfortable homes for
themselves, which they could not
have otherwise done.
1t is thought that the whole num-
Der of shares will be taken in very
short time, and all who are contem-
plating subscribing should be prompt
in making their application.

StructiOn Of the Suez Canal, which
contains a clause especially provid-
ing that the Sultan can take such
steps for the defense of the canal As
he may consider that the safety of
his dominions requires. This clause
alone, out of all the rest, was omitted
in the Hay Pauncefote convention
and in its place was substituted an
other expressly prohibiting the
United States from fOrtifying the
canal. That is to say, the treaty
proposes that the United States
should build the canal and leave it
free and unprotected to be seized by
the overwhelming might of Britain's
navy if trouble should ever arise be-
tween the two nations. Senator
Davis discovered this fact and re-
ported TO the Senate an amendment
putting the defense" clause omitted
by Mr.. Hay back into the treaty.
His. advocacy OF this will he sadly
missed when the instrument is taken
up this winter.
Commander Lucien Young, who
has charge of the work of removing
the wreck of the Maine from Havana
harbOr has issued a circular asking
bids for the work, to be opened at
Havana at Il o'clock noon on De-
cember 10, 1900. The use Of ex-
plOsives will be prohibited, and all
material pertaining to the wreck and
all accessories for the removal of the
same must be removed from the
harbOr by April |, 1901. Speciti-
cations and all available information
will be furnished upon application to
Commander Young. 4 certified
check for 81 900 will be required to
accompany each proposal as a guar
antee of good faith, to be returned
to the unsuccessful bidders upon the
award of the contract. The success
fuI bidder must give bond for S10, 900
for faithful compliance with the
terms of the contract. 1t is Captain
Sigsbee's idea that a coffer-dam
might be constructed around the
wreck, thus affording easy means Of
removing it without much work on
the part Of the divers and without
employing explosives. The removal
of the wreck is awaited with the
keenest interest for the promise 1t
affords of settling beyond dispute
the cause of the disaster.

cellence throughout, that many who
have seen it say, that like the book,
it will live forever. 1t tells of the
sufferings and of the trials of the
early martyrs, it shows US Rome in
the days of Nero, when prOfiigaGy
and crime were the ruling passions,
it shows us Peter the Apostle, aged,
simple and venerable who went to
Rome and scattered the seeds of
truth, which changed the entire deS-
tiny of the world. 1t is strange that
the history taught in our schools
does not tell us more of this most
important event in the history of the
world. "Quo Vadis" tells it graphi-
cally in varied speech and action and
all who have not read the book
should see the play, while there are
few who have read the book who
will miss the opportunity of witness
ing Sienkiewicz'S immortal charac-
tiers endowed with life and moving
and talking before them. Mr.. Alden
Benedict has provided a strong and
capable company, beautiful scenery
and costumes and promises us one Of
the best entertainments we have
witnessed IN many years.

Alden Benedict's .OuO Vadis. u

"Quo Vadis," is a historical play.
1t will be produced at Munro's opera
house on Dec. 3. Its incidents are
based upon facts connected with the
infancy of Christianity. Working
upon this theme Henry Il. Sienk-
iewicz wrote the greatest work of
the nineteenth century, a book OF
great research and of greatest poetic
diyination. Utilizing the material,
Chas. W. Chase, the dramatist, has

by Mrs. E.>KS ETollinger, seemed to

numerous qfher features of this
training, GhIe Ieh must be seen to be
appreciated, furnish a striking illus
tratlon of the development made in
the elemeBta1 81 training of children in
recent years.
The ladies who conduct the school
seem to hava impaired to the little
children intPAsted to their care the
ilveliest interest in the exercises.
The children appear to regard their
work as a Pleasure, not a task. The
benefit theyare thus deriving makes

Gesterlaathe little children attend
ing this kt pdergarten school had a
Thanksgiving Day Celebration, that
was truly a most beautiful sight to
all preseht. The rooms were prettily
decorated with flowers, evergreens
and autumn leaves, which, together
with the bright and happy faces of
the little ones As they went through
their vari0uS exercises, made most
charming entertainment. The chill
dren, none of whom were over five
years OF age, had recitations, songs
and matching, all of which were we'll
rendered by the little tots and showed
the infinite patience and care that
had been exercised bv their teachers
IN training them.
After marching round the room,
which they did with their little
chairs on their heads, they went
into the adjoining rooms where their
lunch was served Oh low tables. At
the tap OF a bell, all the chairs. came
to the floor in unison, As precise as a
little military cOmpanyin drill. Be
fore sittil down, the children sang,
a Thanks3 ug carol, standing be-
hind their Gnairs, then all sat down
and sang little hymn of BILE. sing.
| One unique feature Of the enter
talmment was a small log cabin in
the corner of the room, representing
the homes that the Pilgrim Fathers
occupied on first coming TO this
country; at the door of the cabin sat
watch. dog and also a lighted Ian
tern made of a pumpkin. The
whole entertainment was most novel
and interesting.
