Literary Entertainment.

Notwithstanding the unfayorable wea-
ther the Progressive Culture club enter
tanned a fair-sized audience at the opera
house last Friday evening. The club was
handicapped in carrying out the original
programme on account of the illness of
Mrs. Rhodes, Miss Daisy Brady and Miss
Ruth Woodward, but Mrs. DR.. Rollins
was equal TO the occasion, and with
marked adaptability to such events
helped to bridge over the absent ones
parts very nicely, although the rendition
of the musical parts taken by the above
mentioned ladies would have been most
highly appreciated.
Our space this week will not permit of
our particularizing throughout, and
where all did 50 well it is difficult to
mention each part taken, but Mrs. Rol-
Inns recitatiOns, Master Mark Browns
solo, and Miss Aline Brady's piano solo
were exceptionally well rendered and all
meritoriOus.
Mrs. Rollins, as an elocutionist, ex-
hibits marked ability, and her voice and
manner show a carefully cultivated taste
in the art; Master Mark Brown fairly
captured the whole audience with his
perfect rendition of Just One Girl"
He is only years old, but his appear
ance on the stage would put many pro-
fessionals to shame. Miss Brady's rem
dition of De Konski's wonderful piano
production, Awakening of the Lion"
was as finely executed as We have ever
heard in Florida. She has musical talent
of the highest order, and her interpreta
ton in this instance would have been
creditable to one far advanced and
learned in the art.
The living pictures were an especially
attractive feature of the evenings enter
tainment The recitation Fish Story"
by Miss Munshaw; the gaiety dance, by
Miss Louise Brown; the recitation, "a
Legend of Bregenz," by Mrs. A. X. Will
son: the cornet solo, by Miss Reid, and
the contralto solo, milne Forever More"
by Miss Aleph Minis, were all well rem
dered and served to make most excel
lent feast of literature and art.
The proceeds amounted TO something
like $l4.0O.

A TRIP TO MANILA.

The war department, IL seems, has
generously offered free transportation
70 any member Of Congress who desires
to take a trip to the Philippines this
summer and, as consequence, quite
a number have signlhed their purpose
Of making the excursion. The offer is
made, L Is said, 10 all members with
out regard to party affiliations, and In
all probability the trip viii cost the Wis.
itors very little. The department is
anxious 70 have as many as possible go
there % see for themselves what Amer
lean rule has accomplished II is be-
lleved that In this way much msappre-
hensIOn will be removed. and that Con-
gress will be better qualified in the flu
ture 10 deal with the Philippine ques-
ton
And this Is a reasonable expectation.
II Is not to be supposed that the ordin-
airy CONGRESSMAN viii be able in a few
weeks, TO see everything and learn
everything in regard TO the islands. But
when their personal observations are
supplemented with judlclous reading,
that reading will have a much greater
value 10 them. They will be able to
understand II better; they will take a
different interest in It, What one hears
about place one never has seen Is
different from news obtained Of places
that have become familiar. and with
which personal experience Is connected.
For this reason the trip will be OF great
value TO the congressman themselves,
and to The country The questions In
yolyed IN the Philippine problem win be
more ntelligently discussed after that
visit
The members will all have an oppor-
tunlty Of forming the personal ac-
quaintance OF Agulnaldo and IL they
are Judges OF character, they win at the
same lime put a true estimate upon
that gentleman, who has caused so
much trouble In the past, That 10 i'm
portant What to DO with him, is an
open question. BY personal ac-
quaintance with him, the true answer
will be much facilitated. It Is difficult
for any body of men. no matter how
good their Intentions may be, TO legis-
late for a section Of country they have
never seen, and for people they know
only BY hearsay. For that reason It
must be admitted that money spent for
the DISSEMINATION OF knowledge among
Legislators Is well spent.

AN IMAGE FROM THE PAST.

one OF the interesting exhibits at the
pan-Am erican show at Buffalo will be
an image, which was found by a Mr.
N, A. Kurtz at Nampa while boring an
artesian well in 1889, II was located
at a depth OF 800 feet, on account Of
the strata in which II was found great
antiquity is assigned to IL, and Il Is
taken as proof Of the existence in this
country. thousands OF years ago, OF IA
highly cultured race OF people The
image Is a perfectly formed female fig
ure.
The theory is that the valleys and
plains II western America In the dim
past we're inhabited by numerous hui
man beings, until there came a period
Of tremendous disturbances, when
mountains were overthrow and the
earth deluged and when some Of the
higher mountain peaks belched forth
smoke and fire and molten stones. Then
the Other vast lava plains Of the north
west were covered win the oerltus
now forming a portion OF the formation
so common and familiar TO the present
inhabltants. This upheaval and dis
turbance decImated the Inhabitants Of
this portion OF the earth's surface, but
In such things as the clay image OF a
female form left evidence Of their ex-
lstence.
This supposition, based on archelog-
lcal finds and the geological formation
Of the country, Is In harmony with the
historical data OF the Book OF Mormon
except perhaps, as to the antiquity OF
the finds and the remote time OF the up
heayals. But It viii be observed that
similar results are obtained when the
psychologists compare their investiga-
tons with the chronology Of the Bible.
They End discrepancies there, too,which
seem difficult. II not impossible, to ex-
