Crowley and made it famous for its grit and
push, announce in another portion of this
paper that they will have an auction sale of

good investment will be afforded prospective
BUYERS on the 2Sth, and hearty invitation
is extended to all to be present.

INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE.
Outdoor Sports for the Spring
SeasOn-Faculty Treated to
Il Lunch-Meeting of
Literary Society.

Now that Spring comes on pace, out
door sports the order of the day at the
Institute. The base ball enthusiasm is run
ming high. already couple of teams are
about to be organized to do battle with each
other, and to- play with teams from other
schools. There is also talk of organizing
an athletic association. This is very much
to be desired, and it Is hoped that some
time in March April the people of Lafa-
yette will be treated to exhibition of
field sports. This will bring visitors to the
school in large numbers and will give them
an opportunity to see the school as it really is
the boys, their loyalty, the faculty, the
grounds, the young ladies staying at the
Dormitory--in fact everything connected
with the school and its work.
The Literary Society held very success
full meeting on Saturday night las:- The
subject for debate, ssResolved that Napoleon
was greater general than Julius Caesar"
was decided in favor of the negative side of
the question. There were many other en-
tertaining numbers on the programme. The
next regular meeting will be held this Satur
day night, when this question will be de
bated: '.Resolved that the Chinese should
be excluded from the United States.' 1t
is needless to dwell upon the Importance
of a society like this particular one that
has debating, speech making, etc, fea-
features of its programme.
The dining room in the department of
domestic science was perhaps the most in
tcresting and animated spot IN the whole
school last Wednesday at the lunch
period that being the day which this
department rendered its first luncheon to
the faculty. 1t would be idle to ;t,empt to
dwell upon the exquisite taste that charac-
terized the OCCASION, and the splendid menu
that so elegantly served by still more
elegant cooks. The writer was very for

that it recherche would be putting it
lightly. The following the menu:

The Town Ia Dark ness.

Since last Monday night one
of the dynamOs at the electrical
power house has been incapaci-
tated by the accidental burning
of the armature and in cOnSe-
quence the town has not been
able to light the streets. For
tunately the other dynamo is un-
impaired and the residences and
business houses which depend
on the municipal plant for light
are not affected by the accident.
The burning of the armature ne
cesSitates the rewriting of that
instrument for which the ser
vices of n. j. HOey, an expert
armature- winder, have been Sc
cured. The work, which will
cost the town considerable
amount, will not be finished be-
fore the Goth of the month and
until that time citizens who are
called away from home at night
to attend lodge meetings, etc,
will have to trust to the moon
and stars to show them the right
way. 1t is needless to say that
the trouble at the pOwer-hOuse is
not the result of any negligence
on the part of the employees but
is due to an unavoidable accident.

TREATY WITH CUBA.

HAVANA, December ia definite
treaty of commercial reciprocity be-
tween Cuba and the United States was
signed at IL o'clock last night by Cen
eral Bliss and Secretaries Zaldo and
Monies. 1t lacks only the signatuI 80
of Secretary Hay and Senior Quesada
and the approval of the United States
and Cuban Senates to make it opera
tive.
Although the treaty provides for a
uniform reduction of 20 per cent from
the present tariff charges on Cuban
products entering the United States, a
parallel list of products has been
drawn up in which is set forth the re-
duction on each item made by Cuba
and the United States respectively. 1t
is impossible now to make any mate
rial change in this list.
