before coming here and will make a pleas
ing addition to Belfasts musical circle. Rev.
f. s. Philbrook has very patiently drilled a
number of the Brotherhood young men in
the exercises of Indian clubs and single
sticks and their appearance was credit to
him and to themselves They were dressed
uniformly in black trousers, gray sweat
ers and white shoes and presented a fine
appearance. These exercises combine ply
steal culture with amusement and should be
encouraged by all interested in the boys
One of Mark Twain's Ghost Stories was pre-
sented by Rev. f. S. Philbrook in such a
weird and vivid manner as to Jingle the
nerves Of many of his listeners beyond the
point OF pleasure The lights were turned
Of and only dim candle illumint ted the
reading, which was accompanied by the
ciankins OF chains, heavy breathing and
groans from different parts of the house.
The Brotherhood has been requested to re-
peat their entertainment, but the nervous
people have made a special request that the
ghost story be omitted
