Entertainment BY the Westminster High
Crhnnl

The pupils of the Westminster High School
gave an entertainment on Thursday night, IN
the auditorium of the building. The room rs
lily constructed for an entertainment. The
floor Is level, and large pillars obstruet the
view of the stage for many. The stage shon.t
be ut the end of the room instead of al the
SIDE and the seats should be upon an inclined
floor. These changes cannot well be made
now, but the architect made II blunder IN ar
ranging il as he did 1t was mistake to have
the auditorium ON the third floor at all. There
is but one stairway between the second and
third floors, and in case of fire dangerous
crush would result in the haste to get out. In
addition TO the bad location and faulty con-
struction, many persons stand up and those
in the rear can neither see or hear. There
Is plenty OF room ON the grounds for sepa-
rate building for institutes and entertainments,
and it is hoped some movement looking to Its
erection will be inaugurated. We feel GER
tain the citizens of Westminster will aid ma
te-ially in constructing building.
But of this we shall have something to say
in the future. The entertainment on Thurs
day evening was quite creditable. The pro-
gram was rather lengthy, usual thing with
school programs, but the children showed
careful training. We shall not undertake
report upon each part, but will mention as
special features the welcome address of Miss
Blanche Sheeler, the violin solos of Jos. ID.
Brooks, Jr., the solo of Miss Dulcie Sheeler,
who sang exceedingly well, the Mother Goose
cantata, the opening and closing choruses,
and the acting of Miss NJ. Edna Frock, as
Juno, the colored servant, in the farce "a
Freedoms Pickle" Following was the pro-
gram rendered:

1t is intimated in administration
circles that when the committees OF

will be appointed to he vacancy o"
thesenate finance committee caused by
the retirement of Edward Wolott the

During the last presidential cam
paign Roosevelt and Scott were close
ly ( associated, and very warm
fri endship sprung up between the
candidates for the vice presidency and
the Junior senator from Yves. Virginia.
The fact of Scott's close personal
relations with the president will
greatly aid Vest Virginia, in secur-
ing whatever is going. in the way of
patronage, and other favors within
the gift of the chief executive.
As one of the lieuterants of Presi-

very busy during the coming sess ion
of the senate, as will be the rest OF
the administration leaders in looking
after the cause of reciprocity. When
the question is brought before the
