THE REDS TO THE BLUES.

On Thursday evening the second an
nual banquet of Glass No. of the
Baptist Bible school was held in the
social rooms of the church. At quar-
ter past seven, upwards of so young
men, members of this class, with DR..
Marble, their pastor, and George c.
Wilson, the secretary of the Y. NJ. C.
A. as guests, sat down to a splendid
banquet given by the Reds to the
Blues. The rooms were frightened
with banquet lamps, pictures, ported
plants, ferns, etc, arranged by Mrs.
Hawley. In the contest for new
membership, which has been in pro-
gress for the year past, the Blues out
numbered the Reds, and therefore the
tables were turned this year; last
year the Reds were the victors.
After the steaming dinner had re-
ceived ample justice at the hands of
this hungry, vigorous body the class
president, Harry Horton, introduced
Mr.. Haynes, the captain of the defeat
ed Reds, who, as the host of the
evening, extended the warmest posi-
BILE greeting to their guests. He said
he was glad of their success and really
by an examination of countenances, no
one could have told who was Red and
who was Blue. Certainly none of the
Reds seemed at all blue.
Mr.. Haynes congratulated the class
on the success all around during the
year and thought they ought to pass
the hundred mark before the first of
July. Mr.. Gale, captain of the Blues,
responded most happily, and convey
ed the appreciation and thanks of the
Blues to their hosts.
Mr.. Horton, the president in speak
ing upon the years record, called at
tention to the fact that during the
year, 60 new members had been Sc
cured, and that now the enrolment
was 80. OF the members of the class,
FIVE have united with the church by
baptism, and several others have dur
ing the year made confession of their
acceptance of Christ. During the year
a glee club has been organized, the
class has served a supper on the Euro
pean plan in the church parlors, has
conducted one missionary concert, has
furnished ushers for morning and eve
ming Sunday services throughout the
year, has enlarged and beautified the
class room, and in other ways it has
striven to help along the good work.
The fourth number on the program
was very interesting from the fact that
the seven speakers voiced their per
sonal appreciation of what the class
had been to them.
Mr.. Wilson, as one of the guests of
the evening, brought the greetings of
the Y. M. c. A., of which he is the
very efficient secretary, and voiced his
satisfaction that the relations between
this class and the organization were
so cordial and intimate. He invited
them to still farther participate in the
benefits to be derived from active con-
nection Herewith.
DR.. Marbles remarks were congratu'
latory in tone and most appreciative
| of what had been and was being done

Amherst, Mass, Feb 10, 1895
To the subscribers of the Mortified Tele-
phone Company in Amherst
We regret to be obliged to announce
that at a meeting of the stockholders
of the Northheld Telephone company
held January %, 1885, it was decided to
effect u sale of the Amherst Telephone
Exchange to the new England Telephone
company of Massachusetts. We have
made every reasonable effort to estab-
lish and maintain a telephone business
in your town for the purpose of furnish
ing telephone service at lower rates than
those charged by the New England Tele-
phone and Telegraph company. our
business has from the first been conduct
ed at a loss, and a years experience mas
satisfied us that the expense of furnish
ing an adequate and satisfactory tele-
phone service is very much larger than
we had anticipated, and that the rem
tails established by us are entirely made
quate to meet the actual expense of car
rNing on the business.
Trusting that the subscribers will APP
preCiatc the difficulties we have had to
contend with, and the causes that COM
pei us to abandon the telephone business,
we remain
Very truly yours

We hereby announce to our subscrb

draw from the telephone business. We
deeply regret being obliged to take this
action, but on account of unforeseen OK
penses, loss of subscribers, together with
other conditions that have arisen, we
have considered it advisable to sell our

Dear Sir:
About two years ago l started the In

that time could be done at a fair profit
to myself l have endeavored to give
good service at the prices l made, and
have tried to manage the business affairs
as economically as possible. After two
years Experience l find that it is i'm
possible to keep up and maintain such
a service as l have been giving to the
people for The prices 1 established at the
beginning. l lind that l am doing bust
ness at a loss, and l am satisfied that IT
is Impossible for me to continue at the
present prices. l fully realize that my
patrons do not expect something for
nothing, and that they are willing to pay
a reasOnable price for the service Poles
and other construction have to be re
placed about once in ten years or sooner,
and we are constantly called upon to
make small repairs and changes which l
neglected to figure into the cost of. the

fort to maintain a telephone exchange
at low rates, but after an experience of
three Years are compelled to abandon

Our aim has been to furnish our pa

that our expenses necessary. for proper

that our rates have been found from the

suspected Mcdonnell of planning to
leave the country. and ordered his ar

Mcdonnell has a long record as a
forger and all around schemer. In
1873 together with George and Austin
Bidwell and Edmund Noyes Hill. he
forged checks and robbed the Bank OF
England of $5,00O,O00. The scheme was
to secure $4,000, 900, and then compro-
mise with the bank. The four men
were arrested and sentenced to life i'm

THE ORpHEUM
The Elleford Company to Open
Thursday at Popular
Prices.

The sale of seats for Quo Vadis" has
so far been large one. The best To-
cations for Thursday and Saturday are
shows symptoms of crowded house.
The low priced matinee of quo Vadis''
on Saturday afternoon should bring
out the children, and the spectacular
features of the play prove interesting
to the little ones.
The Ellefords have a fair field before
them. This is the first time that a
dramatic company, enjoying a good
Coast reputation, but not playing in
the first-class theaters or the big CIT
and has visited Honolulu without
claiming that they were absolutely the
finest, meanwhile asking first-class
price.
The Ellefords, according to press no
tees received, have played TO good
at moderate prices. They expect to
do the same here, and no one will OBJ
ject to paying IS cents TO witness a
fairly good performance of a popular
play.
One thing is guaranteed, that the
company comes here entire, with the
same cast as has been used for sew
performance Is made or marred by
the comparative smoothness Of per-
formance, and the knowledge that re-
hearsals are not going on constantly
between plays. will inspire confidence
in the audiences.
Honolulu has consistently objected to
being utilized as the dog" on whom
first performances by scratch cdmpa-
MES are tried.
The Ellefords have an excellent OPP
portunity for a good season, and the
public will be quick to appreciate an
equable performance by players who
have not heralded their coming by a
fanfare of self-praise.
The company arrives today on the
Sierra, and opens tomorrow night IN
"Quo vadis," utilizing their own seen
cry for the production.
