WILLIAMS SCHOOL NOTES.

The A class is enjoying, very much the study of Evangeline. We have not yet decided what we will take up when we finish this poem.
 Some of our boys and girls are keeping the quotations they get from day to day. The writer en- courages such work, for in after years one values such a collection above money.
 It seems too bad that so many of the boys and girls of this town are out of school, who certainly need to be there. One of our greatest statesmen said Every man owes the best he has to God, country and man, and if he fails to render such, he fails in performing his full duty in life"
 Halloween has past again and the boys had their usual fun; but the crowd that called at the school building about 10 o'clock at night felt very much chragrined about twelve hours later when they found out they had each given himself away. Boys be just little sharper the next time.
 Is money making the acme of life? Suppose it is; is not brain work worth a hundred times more than muscular work? Parents, are you giving the boys and girls the proper encouragement? Are you cooperating with teachers to help them give the pupils the proper idea and value of educating the brain? Too many of the youths of the west look upon education as a secondary matter and of very little importance; a mere smattering is not of much value, but let's rise up in all the strength of our young manhood and womanhood and grasp these golden opportunities and make them ours. Here's a hand to help to the one that will. The world wants men, true, strong, manly men. Be all that you can.

RAILROAD DEAL ON.
Prospective Alliance Between Santa
 Fe and Pennsylvania Lines.

aAAa
 The Denver Post of October 90 discusses the rumored Santa Fe- Pennsylvania railway alliance as follows:
 Indications point to a combine on transcontinental business that will force the Santa Fe to deal for its own protection. The Gould-Harri- man-Hill combination gives prom ise of being perfected, and if so, the Santa Fe will be forced to tie up with some big eastern road, and it will be the Pennsylvania.
 The triumvirate control these roads: Denver & Rio Grande, Rio Grande Western, Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Burlington.
 The opposing roads are: The Atchinson, Topeka S Santa Fe and the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
 There are now rumors that the Rock Island does not intend to tie up with the Santa Fe, but will join the combination.
 The Rock Island, with its net work of lines west of Chicago, and particularly west of the Mississippi river, is interested in the transcon- tinental situation. It will be into Fl Paso and connect with the Southern Pacific by Feb. 1. If the the Rock Island does join the com bine it will maroon the Santa Fe and leave it all alone in the scram- ble for transcontinental business unless it can get powerful eastern ally.
 The Santa Fe, by building into San Francisco, stirred the Southern Pacific. The Santa Fe officials de- clare that their business to the Pacific coast far exceeds their ex- pectations and the Southern Pacific is credited with moving every point to embarass the Santa Fe, but it is believed by railroad students that the Santa Fe will fight its battles alone west of Chicago. With the Pennsylvania east of Chicago, the Santa Fe would be in a remarkably strong position.
 In this connection the Chicago Chronicle says: A new transcon- tinental railway system is to be formed. The Pennsylvania and the Santa Fe roads are planning an alliance. Heretofore the Penn sylvania's connection to and from the west has been the Burlington, which has become the property of the Morgan-Hill syndicate. The scheme is not a financial proposi- tion, but merely one involving close traffic relations

A Distinguished Guest.

Saturday afternoon from to o'clock a reception will be given MT, John Wal lace Hutchinson, the millionaire reform CT, philanthropist and musician, by Miss Daisy w. Rowley and Madame Pestelle- Everest at the Academy of Music,
 Mr. Hutchinson has made flying visit to his musical friends, Miss Rowley and Madame Everest, and they give this rare opportunity to the people of Birmingham to meet, perhaps for the last time this only surviving member of the famous Hutchinson family.
 Ono hundred years ago his parents went to the memorial services of Washington. their marriage having occurred a few days after Washington's death.
 There were fifteen brothers and sisters, the younger members of the family form ing themselves into band for reform work. An ancestor of MT, Hutchinson brought over the first blow ever used in the United States, the town of Salem giving him sixty acres of land for set ting up blowing. MT. Hutchinson and three other brothers were musicians and sang the first temperance sons in this country. He has sung during his life in Il, ,667 concerts. He Is a most picturesque looking old man of 84 years, very much resembling Longfellow He was an in timate friend of Phillips, Garrettson- Benton, Whittier, Clay and Webster.

Charity Euchre a Success.

The large ballroom in the Elk's building was quite filled with card tables yester- day afternoon at which were grouped numbers of Birmingham women who at- tended the charity euchre arranged by four charming patronesses from the hos pital chapter of Temple Emanuel. They were Mrs. E. H. Levi, Mrs Eugene Fies, Mrs Benjamin Meyer and Miss Bertha Solomon, and they were heartily con- graduated upon the success of the card party. There were nearly a hundred wom- en who played, and the patronesses real ized $10OO, which will be given to the build ing fund of the Hillman Hospital.
 The euchre was managed like those large charity card parties which take place through the season at the Waldorf Astoria. On these occasions in the Astor gallery, where the games are played, the tables are arranged in sections. and each section constitutes a separate card party. There is usually but one head table. At the euchre yesterday there were five ta- bles in each section, and the guests re- maned throughout the entire series of games in the section in which they began playing.
 The games were continued until o'clock, and when the distribution of the prizes took place there was very excit- ing moment. There were twenty prizes and dozen women to cut for each prize. The patronesses requested the guests to remain seated at the tables while those whose high scores gave them the pleasure of cutting were asked to come nearer the prize table, which resembled a favor table at a cotilon, except that cotillon favors do not usually include Persian rugs, palms steins, cut-glass bonbon dishes and similar beautiful things which were carried off by the lucky guests yesterday. A majority of the women looked on from afar at the table from which the prizes were being distributed, but with so many handsome prizes and equally as. many women. to enjoy cutting for them the ball room was in a few moments converted into an afternoon reception scene and every woman crowded about the prize table and chatted of how many lone hands she had played, or of why she had not made as high score as usual.
 The euchre was not only a financial

My Friend from India.

My Friend from India" H. A. Du Soul chets geniously-oonstructed comedy which will be seen at the Jefferson The atre Friday night, Is almost as original as 1t Is clever, The author has handled his material in a thoroughly unconyen- tional style, To be sure, wit is wit and humor Is humor, but Mr. Du Souchets play exhibits these entertaining virtues fin a manner rather unique and undeniably refreshing. The man who wrote My Friend from India" has mastered the art of making old things appear new, or rather of obscuring their antiquity by the novelty of their development. His in- ventive genius Is manifested in several ways. The coloring of the characters is quaint, and their relations and the opera tion of their cross purposes are cleverly handled. The wit is of the most refined and subtle order-not coarse or common place. The dialogue is occasionally pune tuated with a sharp thrust at some of so- ciety's fads and hypocrasies, and shade of satire on theosophy Is sometimes visi- ble, but in the main, the amusement the comedy affords is provoked by a success sion of funny situations, short, crisp speeches and unexpected denouements. The players have been chosen with spe- cil view to their fitness for their respec- tive roles. May Vokes, the original lilly, the irresistible German maid. again heads the cast. The others are: Lewis Peters, John F. Ward, Lute Vrohman, Frank Parry, Willard Simpson, Wm. T. Gaunt, Frank Hall. Oscar blackstone, Rose Tap ley, Edna Ewen and Emma Chase. An innovation this year Is the introduction by Manager Myron B. Rice of a number of vaudeville numbers.
