Cantata.

Grand dramatic cantata, "Jephthah
and His Daughter" will be given in
Jewish costume by home talent in court
house, Tionesta, Friday evening, May II,
1900. Proceeds for furnishing S. s. room
in Presbyterian church. This cantata
originated from the celebrated battle be-
tween Jephthah, Judge of Israel, and the
Ammonites. Jephthah, an Israelite, had
been banished from his home and taken
refuge in the land of Tob, where he be-
came a warrior and mighty man ofvalor.
His fame had been echoed back to Gilead
and when the Ammonites threatened to
make war against Israel all of her peo-
pie prayed that Jephthah might return
and take command of the army. The FL
ders went to the land of Tob for Jephthah
and offered to make him their ruler If he
would return. He accepted, returned
and took command. Before going to bat
tie he made rash vow, that If the Lord
would deliver the Ammonites into his
hands, he would, ,on his return from war,
in peace sacrifice unto the Lord the first
thing that would meet him at the door of
his house. When he returned he met his
only daughter, Iphigenia, whom he sac
rificed according to his vow. About 40
characters are represented in costume.
No pains have been spared to make this
grand cantata a success.

The court took the breath away
from the defense and startled the on

provocation could justify and striking
or kicking of the wife or the infection
of any bodily injury, but that it might
go to the consideration of the question
of alimony.

taken by surprise: that it was badly

Mr.. Magoon quoted many authorities
and pleaded eloquently and earnestly.
Cecil Brown also spoke for the lie

Silliman and argued the case for plain

Judge Humphreys sustained the OBJ

length. He said he believed that the
principle that wife and husband could
not testify against each other, save
in the event of criminal offense, was
sound policy.

this ruling was ordered stricken out.

attorneys for the defense, after which

The court said that the patience and

Vanity seems to spring eternal in the mas

A PROFITABLE MEETING.
There Were Only Two In the Audi

EE Came from 1t, E isf7a

1t costs more in the way of strict
morality to become a Metlal1htla In
dian than to become citizen of the
United States. Before a man can be
admitted to the Arcadian band of civil
lied Indians he must pledge himself
not only to obey the powers that be-,
but also to keep the Sabbath, to attend
divine service on that day, and, in
word, to follow the golden rule in all
his dealings with those about him. The
first step in the civilization of these
most happy and prosperous Indians
is bit of missionary romance, says
Youths Companion.
On a raw night in December, 1856, a
missionary meeting was appointed to
be held in London. ''Is it worth while
to have the service on such an even
ing?' asked one of those intrusted
with the management. perhaps not"
replied the missionary who was to
speak, ''but I don't like to shirk my
work, and as it was announced some
one might come"
The meeting was held, although the
night was black as ink and rain fell
heavily. A gentleman passing the
brightly lighted chapel in Covent gar
den, went in to take refuge from the
storm. He composed half the audience
that listened to a powerful plea in be-
half of the North American Indians in
British Columbia.
''That was labor thrown away"
grumbled the Londoner who objected
to holding the meeting.
'Who knows?' replied the mission
ary. 'It was Gods work.
That night one-half of the audience
which had listened to the appeal was
sleepless. The gentleman who had
dropped in by accident had never be-
fore heard the story of the horrors of
heathenism. He could not rest With
in a month he had sold out his business
and was on his way to engage in mis-
sion work among the British Colum-
bian Indians, under the auspices of the
Church Missionary Society.
Thirty-fye years later we find that
London business man surrounded by
his children, as he loves to call them,
the center and head of the model mis-
sion station of the northwest coast.
He is known as William Duncan, mis-
sionary to the Metlakahtla Indians.
Of these Indians. Mr.. j. Wallice, of
Metlakahtla, Alaska, says: They are
the farthest advanced in civilization of
all the Alaskan Indians, having re-
nounced all heather rites about 35
years ago. Like the Pilgrim Fathers
they left their homes in old Metlakaht-
la in order to be able to worship God
after the dictates of their own con-
science. Their religion cost them
something for they sacrificed property
Of the value of $50,Ooo to make the
