DRAMA AT LoRETTo.

Excellent Entertainment at Catholic
 Academy.
 A drama presented by the young ladies of Loretto Academy last evening, was enjoyed by a large audience of inter ested friends who gathered in the Acad- emy hall to witness the performance.
 The entertainment was given to raise funds to enable the Sisters to lessen the standing debt of the Academy, and the young ladies whose excellent rendition of the very interesting drama, Through the Cloud Into the Sunshine" deserve much credit for their work for so good a cause.
 The splendid training the young ladies full result last evening for every part was we'll taken and the play went with smoothness and precision.
 The drama is in four acts and between them musical selections were interspersed. The effect of this innovation was charm ing, as 1t gave quite a professional air of music between the acts, and at the same time gave examples of the fine work done at Loretto Academy by the music pupils of that institution.
 The story of Through the Cloud Into the Sunshine" is one of two supposed orphans who are searching for each other and are finally rewarded.
 Misses Irene and Violet Livingston did we'll the parts of the two sisters Aunt Mercy" the old colored "mammy" was true to life" as Miss Carolyn Evans DOT trayed her, and the little darky, ''Dilsy," was acted as cute as could be by little Nonie Corners. who played the little plantation darkey to perfection.
 Every part deserves special mention and praise, as does each musical number

must reach there not later than noon
of Dec. Is.
The new organization now has sixty
members, the majority of them young
business men who are keenly alive to
thea advantages of securing improve
mentS for their part of the city that
will increase the value of property
there and make it a pleasant residence
district. Not few of the members are
men who are out of the town the great
er part of the time, travelling for vari-
Gus business firms; but though they
cannot attend many of the meetings
they are anxious that their names
shall help to support the new organiza-
ton.
Sixth Ward Big Territory.
The Sixth ward is all that portion Of
St Paul lying south Of the Mississippi
river. This represents a big slice of
territory and explains the reason why
the new association is a district rather
than a ward organization Like the
west end residents of the Fifth ward
across the river, residents of the Sixth
ward who reside west of Wabasha
street feel that their interests are not
identified with the interests of the east
end residents. And this fact indicates
what will in time become the object Of
the new organization, namely, the di-
vision of the ward, with what is now
South Wabasha street, but what was
The Saint Paul globe., 1903-12-06

natural beauty. The West end of the
Sixth ward is no exception to this rule.
Perched on bluffs that overlook the
Mississippi river, it has only to look
back over its shoulder to see the great
er part Of the city stretched out before
It. There are some pretty homes in
this part Of town and property owners
nave always exhibited a eommendable
interest In seeing that their premises
were kept in good condition. The as
ISOLATION will probably do nothing this
winter in the way of beautifying it's
part of the ward, for practical con-
yeniences are needed first, but in the
spring committee will be appointed
whose special object will be to see that
weeds are not allowed to grow on va
can't lots, that rubbish is not allowed
to accumulate and that streets are kept
clean. The members realize that
square set apart for park purposes
would add greatly to the appearance of
. the ward, and it is probable that an
effort will be made by the associat ton
to secure such square and turn Ii
over to the city for use as a park.
The Saint Paul globe., 1903-12-06

1t has been in existence a little over a
month or SO, of course, its work is
hardly planned out as yet except in a
general way.
The first meeting was held the even
Ing of Nov. 8. in H. F. Pieper's store at
the south end of the high bridge Mr..
P1eper was chosen temporary chair
man, and John f. Moore temporary
secretary. A second meeting was held
Nov. 10. when permanent organiza-
ton was effected and these officers
elected: President, William Bircher;
vice president, NJ. P Moriarty: secre-
tary, John T. Moore; treasurer, II. f.
Pieper. The officers and L. T. Cham
berlain were constituted a committee
TO draft bylaws and constitution, and
these were adopted week ago.
Association Wants a Name,
As yet the association is without
name. 1t was organized by west end
residents of the Sixth ward. and the
members desire a name that will indi-
cate not only the object of the associa-
ton, but also the topography of the
district. For the west end of the Sixth
ward is most picturesque bluff over
looking the Mississippi river, and the
