Commencement of Pearlhaven Public
School.
The commencement exercises of the
Pearlhaven Public School took place
on Monday night and we're interspersed
with some of Brookhaven's best talent,
including Misses Jessie McNair and
Rose Seavey and the Aria Quarette,
who charmed the immense audience
with song or story and were rewarded
with vociferous encores.
The program rendered by the school
children was very creditable indeed
and reflected decided credit upon their
teacher, Miss Jeanette Mikell, and
manifested a deal of talent among
themselves. The posing class was
especially commended for excellence,
while the "Trinity Drill" "Maids and
Gallants of We Olden Times" and 'The
Little Foresters" all combined to make
the evening a very entertaining and
pleasant one.
Miss Mikell has had the conduct of
the school in her hands for only a
brief time; but has given decided
satisfaction, we are told. She is well
qualified to fill such position and we
hope to see her, should she desire it,
reinstalled as principal for the en-
suing term.

Pingpong Punch.

Pingpong punch, says the Philadel-
phfa Record, is the very newest thing
in soda water fountain eopcoctions. It
has been introduced in one Of Chestnut
streets big soft drink emporiums and
is already popular. Speaking Of this al
lucrative beverage the other day, the
white coated young man behind the
counter said: 'sThe pingpong punch
was bound to come sooner or later, SO
we took time by the forelock and stole
a march on our rivals. It's the name
that counts, you know. The ingredi-
ents2 Well, they consist Of the juice

Plumbing ON the Installment Plan.


CD. Perkins plan of doing plumb
ing work ON the installment plan IS
meeting with great favor among those
it was specially designed to accommo-
date and Mr.. Perkins is pleased &C
cordingly. In referring to the subject
yesterday in conversation with a re-
porter of The LEADER he said: Il
find great many good, reliable peo-
pie who are glad and willing to put
in bath tubs, kitchen sinks, etc, on
the monthly installment plan, who
would not consider such proposition
and could not afford it, if they had to
pay the whole bill at once. The in
stallment plan places these conve-
niences and necessities in the reach Of
such persons and by dividing the cost
up into monthly payments they can
meet the expense, little at time,
without feeling it. / am doing very
gratifying lot of business with this
class of customers, and their number
is increasing. With them the install
ment plan supplies the missing link
The details of such contracts are easily
arranged and are settled on basis
mutually satisfactory
Here Mr.. Perkins broke off his re-
marks to give directions about a job
of this kind he was doing for patron
on Monticello street, and as the item
snatcher was in hurry he didn't wait
to catch the rest of the story.

The term now about to close has
been the most prosperous in the
history of the school and the board of
control emphasized their appreciation
of the splendid services rendered by
Prof. Scott by voting him an increase
Of salary.

a bugler and a standard bearer carry

A CARD FROM DIR. BARBER.

1t is very sad thought when | fully
realize that L have decided to leave
Brookhaven to live.elsewhere to say
goodbye to my friends and patrons,
who have been so true and loyal to me
these twelve years. / would go from
home to home of each of you to ex-
press my feelings in person and say
goodbye, but it would only add to the
ing that | have many true and beloved
friends, Jews, Gentiles, country and
town, who seem, somehow, part of
myself (which is the natural outcome
of an unbroken friendship, and for
whom will always have feeling in
expressible and longing to meet again
sometime, somewhere.
Ny reason for this change is the
sadness that came into my home near
ly three years ago, when it was bereft
of its chiefest charm, and l could no
longer feel like myself.

myself to the unavoidable conditions
which surrounded me, that | might
remain among the friends Of
one VINO mad passed INTO Cne OeauGlIuI
beyond, for there is hallowed sa-
credness in the thought; but l could
not, and now as go away, carry away
with me the tenderest feeling for those
who have been so near me, socially,
religously and as patrons, for many
times my mind will revert back to
dear old Brookhaven where have
spent the greater portion of the hap
piest period of my life, as we'll as the
saddest period. I pray that Gods
richest blessings will shower abundant
ly upon all of you, and l promise that
should any of my old patrons desire
my services in the sick room at any time
I will respond as promptly from Jack

Deafness Cannot be Cure

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tiona1 remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustaehian Tube, When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an intlamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by eatarFh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.
