Mr.. Kingsley was the first to arrive at

q Good Concert.

n
The entertainment at the opera
house last Friday night by the Column
sbian Colored Concert Co. was given to
9 full house, the personnel Of the com
pany no doubt lending color to the oc-
casion and proving big drawing card.
There were only four members to the
company, but they gave d good pro-
gram. Prof. Johnson was only fair on
his violin in classical music, but Mrs.
Fannie Hall-Clint and Mrs. VIRGINIA
Green appeared in the program in a
very creditable manner. Mrs. Clint
caught the house and she was the
favorite of the evening, her readings
and recitations being given with the
talent of true artist. She responded
to encore after encore and caught the
house. Mrs. Green's lyric soprano solos
were sung with spirit and animation
and her voice was clear and rich. As
prelude to the last number she sang
"Suawnee River' with melody and
pathos. This is the third entertain
ment under the auspices of the Column
bian Lyceum Bureau of St. Paul. The
series OF winter entertainments was
secured through the efforts of Rev.
Gratz. All the entertainments are of
high order of merit and will prove
interesting, instructive and entertain
ing to all who attend them.

Wedding Ring Lost 900 Years.

Baron K. U. Spare, of Ostersund,
Sweden, was recently presented with
the wedding ring of two of his distin.
guished ancestors, Count Erik Spare
and Countess Ebba Brahe, whose mar
riage in 1873 united two of the noblest
families in Sweden. After being lost
for 300 years the ring was found on the
estate while some of the old structures
were being torn down. The age of
that ring adds wonderfully to it's value,
but golden grain belt beer could be no
better than it is if it were 1000 years
old. The secret of healthful beer is
in the ageing. Golden grain belt beer
is carefully aged and that is why it
agrees with you. Order of your near
est dealer, or be supplied by Henry
Veidt, Princeton.

Swift Flight of q Newspaper.

Bob Burow thinks that the mail
service between Princeton and New
York is getting pretty swift, especially
for newspapers. Tuesday night he re-
ceived his copy of the New York Sun

forty hours after the paper came from
the press and was placed aboard the
fast mail for Chicago where it made
close connections with the fast mail
for the twin cities. This is certainly
quick transit for newspaper.
