FOURTH ATTRACTION IN
BARRE ENTERTAINMENT
COURSE

III LUG ulbUOIy OF SCOtlduu tQeIe Is
no more thrilling story than that Of
the defence and relief Of Lucknow by
the Highlanders during the Sepoy re-
belllon Ia India. The story Of that
defence and its heroine "Fair Ellen"
has been set to music and will be sung
by the Musical Association chorus at
the Tuesday evening concert. A
short synopsis Of the story follows:
There had been days and days Of
fighting. At last, with all chance Of
retreat cut off. with the last hope Of
relief gone, the commander Of the
garrison exclaims
"May God in his mercy be good to us
now.
What boots it to think Of dyings
No bread to sustain US the long day
through;
No shot to the foemen replying.
"Fair Ellen" leaning on cannon
near seems lost In thought until Sad
denly "like to wrath she rose" cry.
ing.
''Oh, haste to the rampartS nigh,
Look out on the misty cleaning
Methought l heard in the distance
far
The march "The Campbells are COM
ing"
Thinking this to be but a wild
fancy of a mind strained beyond en-
durance by the terrible struggle that
has been carried on, the commander
replies,
Sab. maiden, l ween thou art sore
distraught,
Nought hast thou seen or heard
So the day passes on and 'nearer
and nearer the last hour came" fare.
wells are said "to wife and child at
home and the Highland lochs and the
heather" Prepared to sell their lives
as dearly as possible, the little CARR
son Of heroes again takes up the hoy
less struggle until above the din OF
the fighting "Fair Elem cries
THE Campbells are coming, L tc.a
you true "
and soon the sound OF the Highland
pipes is heard and through the smoke
are seen the bonnets OF the regl'
mentS.
The garrison, inspired by the
sight, "fell on the foe like a Highland
storm" and drove them from the
gates of the city. The rescuing High
landers enter the city and all join In
thanksgiving;
"We're saved by the bond OF cur
olden troth;
To God praise and honour be
given" !.
The musical setting Of the poem is
spirited and entirely in keeping with
the story. All who delight In the re-
cital of heroic deeds should not fail to
attend this concert. The work will
be given by chorus Of 80 voices, as
sisted by Miss Emma Phillips, Mr.
George Murray and Miss Ada Croft,
accompanist, all under the direction
of Edward NJ. Fuller. The above
work is only one feature Of well Sc,
lected program. Memberships 42d
Psalm will also be given and other
shorter works.

CITY WINS

A decision has been received from
Judge Munson on the application OF
Perry & Scribner for an Injunction
restrainingx the city from interfering
with them In digging up the streets
to connect their mains with houses,
denying the petition.
This decision leaves the case prac.
tically as 1t was before. Only the
court has construed the Injunction
granted the city against Perry &
Scribner in a more favorable way FOL
the city than 1t has been claimed. The
court refuses to allow that the injunc
tion permits Perry & Scribner to con
meet with houses not on the streets
where they have mains.

sian system.

Eta Peters burg, Jan. 3O.-The min.
istry OF war has completed draft OF a
law to regulate the military service
in Finland in conformity with the
system adopted in the empire ut large.
1T is expected that it will be put in
force early in the year.
Governor General Bobrikoff has late.
ly issued instructions to the governors
Of the provinces in Finland urging a
stricter enforcement of the ordinance
of last July regarding public Assem-.
blies. The complaint is male that
this ordinance Is evaded under pretext
OF amusements and entertainments.
Among the amusements which require
permits may be reckoned gatherings in
which social. scientific and economic
questions are discussed or where adj
dresses are made. Assemblies which
are permitted must be watched over by
the police, whose duty it will be to
suppress demonstrations.
In order to meet the boycott of I'M
popular officials by housewares and
hotelkeeperS, Governor General Bobri-
koff has purchased, for $3.50. u dwell.
ing house in Ilelsingfors.
For the purpos of cultivating CLOSER
relations with Bulgaria, the govern.
ment has entered into an agreement
with Prince Ferdinand's government
reducing telegraph tolls from 40 to %

international money order system sim.
liar to that in vogue in Russia.
