To Repeat School Entertainment.

Inasmuch as several functions in An
napolis prevented many patrons and
friends from attending the entertainment
OF the public school on Friday evening,
IL has been decd d TO repeat the per-
Torrance with possibly some new lea
lures this evening at 8 o'clock.
The entertainment is educaiive as well
as amusing and deserves the patronage
OF the public. Hence every opportunity
will be given 10 see and hear IL. No one
need stay away because OF fear OF being
able to see and hear. for the parts are
all visible and audible from sveTy seat
in the hall. The lush. Swedish, Japan
ese and Chinese couples are well worth
the admis ion, and II is hoped enough
funds will be raised TO complete paying
Tor the school piano.

If there are Is miles Of plank side
ewalk in this city, four feet wide, as
is estimated by the street commits
sioner, we have 100000 feet of 1um-
Der in sidewalks. This walk has
been constructed since the city was
incorporated, in 1885, The average
cost of this lumber was about $3.50
per thousand feet. Lumber of good
quality has been bought for the
purpose for $1,000 a thousand. 1t
is now $1,000 to $500 a thousand.
This would mean that we paid
something less than $40, 900 for the
material now in these sidewalks, an
average OF. about $500 year. 1t
must be understood, however, that
some sidewalk has been rebuilt and
much more repaired so that the av-
erage outlay would be considerably
more than $500 a year, probably
nearer $1,000 year. Considering
the scattered character of the city
extending over such a wide area
the estimate of $1,000 a year for
wooden sidewalks is a very conser-
vative sum for the purpose. In
view Of the difficulty of obtaining
good sidewalk lumber and it's high
price it is not probable that lumber
will be used in building sidewalks
here this summer except in repairs.
1t is likely that considerable new
walk will be made of cement. The
original cost of the cement walk is
about twice that of plank walk.
The rule in vogue last year in laying
the cement walk was for the owner
of adjacent property to pay one half
the cost and the city one half. In
this way good, substantial and
durable walk is secured at the same
cost to the city as it would pay for
the plank walk.

The Declamatory Contest.

Last Friday evening was the night
set for the high school dec1amatory
contest. Twice postponed, the
evening finally set for it was by far
the worst of the spring. Neverthe-
less very goodly audience assem-
b1ed in the Methodist church 10 hear
the young people declaim.
The program was a good one
throughout. The music was especial
ly strong, the cornet solo by Mr..
Todd and the piano solo by Mrs.
Fletcher calling for encores.
The contest was spirited and
close, perhaps the closest the
school has ever had. The young
people showed evidences of hard,
thorough work and training, and all
acquitted themselves with credit.
For the first time in the history of
contests, the judges were asked to
mark the dramatic and oratorical
selections separately, and to select
the best from each class as repre-
sentatives of the school in the
league contest. This is as it should
be. The two classes are distinct,
and should be kept so.
The first speaker on the program
as published last week, was excus-
ed from appearing, owing to an un-
fortunate accident the first of the
week by which he sprained his
ankle. This made Miss Crippen the
FIRST speaker of the evening. She
gave an extract from "Laddie," a
touching story of Scotch mother
and her son in London. Miss Grip
pens conception of the piece was
good, and her rendering excellent.
Her voice was not what it ought TO

The School Entertainme nts.

With a desire. to secure for the
public school a new piano, the
teachers and pupils planned series
of six public entertainments. By
this plan they expected to obtain a
sufficient amount of funds to secure
the object of their desire without an
appeal to the board of education for
money. The project suggested a
call upon teachers and pupils for
strenuous exertion. They had their
daily tasks at school to perform,
work that must be done whether the
other succeeded or failed. The
graduating class must keep up their
studies to meet the demands re-
quired in the conditions for securing
a diploma of graduation. The
participants in the declamatory con-
seventeen in number-had the
additional task of committing their
pieces and of learning the proper
manner of presenting them-a work
which also exacted the time of the

teachers in giving the needed drill.
These six entertainments have been
concluded, the last entertainment
having been given last Friday night.
The entertainments were all popular
and except the last were largely
patronized. The Contest last Fri
day night would have been the most
literally patronized of any had the
weather been tolerable for such an
entertainment The teachers and
pupils deserve much commentator
for their work in this enterprise.
They were necessarily called upon
to devote much time to prepar alton
for these performances if they ex-
pected to succeed. The fact that
the entertainments were all eminent
ly successful demonstrates the faith
fulness of the work done. From
the aspect of merit these entertain
ments compare favorably with any
that have been placed before the
public here the last season. The
public were in sympathy with the
manageme mt and the performers as
individual actors and the object for
which the entertainments were given
was one that commended itself to
the people. The school, as an in
stitution, gains some needed ap-
pliances; the performers have ac-
CURED mental strength and needed
discipline; the community have been
brought into more intimate relations
with the school; the teachers have
worked-for the love of work, and
gained in an already rich store of
public good will.

be in volume, but her manner was
easy and natural, and taken as a
whole her rendition justly entitled
her to first rank among the speakers
of the dramatic, which place the
judges gave her. Glen Rounsevell
gave The unknown speaker" with
agood deal of appreciation and pow
er. This is Mr.. Rounsevell's first
attempt and he did we'll He has a
good voice, and good articulation.
With a little more freedom of action
and fire he will be a most excellent
speaker. Miss Rollins, in 1.-The
Moonlight Sonata, was better than
she ever was before. Her picturing
of the piece was very good, and she
was easily heard. Mr.. Barney, in
the Fate of the Indians" showed a
thorough understanding of his piece
and was easily heard. He rendered
very difficult selection in a very
easy and creditable manner. Miss
Chalupskey is one of the younger
speakers, this being her first year
in the High school and her first ap-
pearance as speaker. She acquit-
ted herself we'll in the giving the
"Swan Song" Her enunciation
and voice were good, and she made
good impression on both judges
and audience.
Miss Curren, in Mary Alice
Smith" was most natural and easy,
her conception and rendering of the
selection such as to win her second
place among the speakers of the
dramatic. Found Guilty of High
Treason" by Mr.. Peterson, was
given with much of feeling and
force. His voice, his understand
ing of the piece, were excellent, and
with little improvement in manner
he will be hard to beat. He was
given first place among the oratori-
cal selections.
Miss Ode1l's death of the Old
Squire" was given with much spirit
and appreciation. Some parts were
too low to be we'll understood, but
she was very good, nevertheless.
Miss Corcoran gave a difficult Sc
lection, "The Ride of Death" in
very pleasing manner. Her enun-
citation, her gestures, her picturing
of the piece, were excellent, leav-
ing very little to be desired.
Before the Virginia Conven
tion," by Mr.. Elliott, was given
with fine presence and manner and
clear, strong, pleasing voice. In
the opinion of the judges he was a
close second TO Mr.. Peterson. A
little more fire on the part of Mr..
Elliott, and it would have been
hard indeed to make choice.
The school and it's friends have
every cause to be we'll pleased with
the contest, it's character and re-
suits.

Ellsworth Market Day.

The Ellsworth Improvement Assoc
citation has undertaken the expert
ment of establishing monthly
market day at Ellsworth. The pur-
pose of the movement is to bring
together farmers and others having
anything to sell and those wishing
to buy, and incidentally to attract
business.
Last Monday was the time fixed
for the initial market day, which
proved a most gratifying success.
The Ellsworth Cornet Band was Sc
cured for the occasion, a program,
including races and other contests,
was provided, the free use of COM
petent auCtioneer arranged for, and
everybody cordially invited to avail
themselves of the advantages and
diversions thus offered. The gath
ering was like unto one on the oc-
casion of Fourth of July blowout,
and the amount of traffic very salts
factory, taking into consideration
the fact that this was the first mar
ket day Of the series.
The attention of the auctioneer
was devoted to the sale of merchan-
disc in the forenoon and to the sale
of stock and anything else offered
by the farmers i'll the afternoon.
We understand that the sales aggre-
gated about $500, the association
guaranteeing everything sold to be
as represented, and the bank of
Ellsworth advancing money upon
all approved paper. The associa-
ton thus seems to have eliminated
the most serious objections that
could be urged against market days
and if the experiment does not prove
a success, the failure will be due to
the farmers themselves. Permit us
to observe in an incidental way that
Ellsworth has no patent on the
market day business.
