feet time and received great applause. The prince discovered Cinderella. Mary Hayes and Mollie Cullen as prince and courtier were beautiful and spoke very we'll Little Inez Kelly was very sweet in her recitation, 'Fse Losted-"
 At the close of this scene, in which all were dancing, the clock strikes twelve. Cinderella runs and in her hurry loses one slipper. The prince finds it and the scene ends with pret- ty tableau by all.
 In the scene after the ball all are much excited over the strange princess when the courier, Mollie Cullen, and the page, May Brown, come in with the slipper.
 In the last act Mary Hayes as the prince was perfection: and all were amused at the evident devotion to Gin derella. Miss Margaret Donahue as the rose fairy was indeed a fairy in her rose dance, which she executed skillfully. Later she showed that she can recite as we'll as she can dance when she gave Little Miss Brag."
 The next number on the program was an exceptionally dainty and pretty one It is wonderful to think that such little tots could be trained to be so graceful and it shows careful teach ing. The little "Poseuses" were Miss es Pauline and Marguerite Cullen, An ita Carroll and Inez Kelly, Mary Calf ney and Josephine Bierney, Kathleen Donahue and Frances Grace, Bertha and Irene Cullen, Loretta McLane and Elise Carroll. Miss Mary Dunn an nounced the different poses clearly and distinctly.

 Frances Hayes, the earth spirit.
 Annie Larkin, the air spirit
 Julia Shields the water spirit.
 Misses Emily Duhame and Margaret O'NeiIl, flowers.
 All present were simply carried away by little Kathleen Donahue's "Rocko- by Land'' The moving tableau Night was next; in it were Misses Loretta Casey, Nellie Burns, Marie. Schmidt, Dora Blanchard Marie Bier ney, Adlyn Bolan, Margaret King and Margaret Tobin as leader.
 All danced in "Espanita" and ended by beautiful chorus in which they all drank the health of Cinderella and the prince.
 The evening was a complete success and Miss Mcdonnell was overwhelmed by congratulations and thanks for the delightful entertainment The parents especially were enthusiastic in their praise as well SIS expressions of thanks for the kind interest in and wonderful results obtained by their children un- der her tuition.

"CINDERELLA..

Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather all the seats were taken at the entertainment given at Leaven- worth hall by the junior pupils of Miss Marie Gertrude Mcdonnell. The par ents and friends of the little ones found only one fault: that it was too short. The overture was beautiful, by Miss Brennan, harpist, Miss Madden and lit tie Miss Margaret Sweeney Miss Brennan is certainly an artist and her harp m exceptionally, fine one. Miss Madden pleased all as usual while Miss Margaret Sweeney not only made a pretty picture with her violin, but played through the entire musical pro- gram in a pleasing manner.
 At the rising of theJ curtain the gyp- sies were discovered sleeping, but they were soon awakened by the gypsy messenger, Miss May Garde, who came in with dainty steps and aroused them by gracefully shaking her tambourine over each one. Miss Mollie Thomp- son was lovely queen. Miss Louise Martin as the fortune teller sang sweetly and acted her part to perfec- tion. Miss Elizabeth Bergin in the role of q peddler has very pretty voice and performed the part in a pleasing manner The chorus and steps introduced throughout were much admired and received great ap- plause.
 | Cinderella" was arranged by Miss I Macdonnell and all agreed it was q very pretty little play.
 Miss Veronica Bierney as stepmoth- CT and Misses Alma Lecours, Della Bauby and Julia Mccarthy as the proud sisters were all most excited over the coming ball, Helen Martel as the father was very good. Each one seemed to feel the part she was impersonating. Miss Mary Gaffney as the fairy godmother was dainty and l pretty and at the same time most dig niffed. Miss Anita Carroll took the part of Cinderella very naturally
 In the ballroom scene there was some pretty dancing. Miss Bernice Monagan recited ''The Minuet'' in a really artistic manner, and at the close l five little ladies, Misses Julia Shields. Mary Gaffney, Anita and Elise Carroll and Annie Larkin, and five little gal lants, Misses Mollie Cullen, May l Brown, Alma Lecours. Katherine Mo Farland and Helen Martel performed the stately old dance in manner that reflects great credit on Miss Macdon- nell.

Protocols Tn Venezuelan Matter af a Last Agreed Upon.


 Protocols I'm Venezuelan Matter @t Last Agreed Upon.
 WASHINGTON Feb. 13.-The prob ability is that the protocols for the raising of the blockade which has been maintained by England, Germany and Italy against Venezuela for more than } month will be signed by Minister Bowen and the representatives of the allied governments here today. Minis ter Bowen has been busy conferring with the English and Italian ambassa- dors and the German minister regard Ing various features of the protocols, with the result that they are practical ly in final shape. The signing of the protocols will, it is expected, be done at the British embassy, as it is regard ed rather imprudent for Sir Michael Herbert to venture out on account of his illness.
 The protocols will provide for the raising of the blockade at once for 8 cash payment of E5,500 to each of the three allied governments and for the payment to Germany of 100000 boli- vars in five installments, less the f5,5OO paid in cash. The first installment of the 100000 bolivars, or $340,000, is to be paid on the 18th of March. For the payment of claims of the all lies MT. Bowen has arranged to begin immediately the setting aside of 30 per cent of the receipts of the two ports of Porto CabeIlo and La Guayra, as origi- nally proposed. The first receipts set aside will be those for the month of March. The funds will be retained in the custody of Venezuela and will be paid out according to arrangements that may hereafter be made.

..I AIMEs BOYS IN MIssoURI.,l

~ JAldES BOYS IN MISSOURI
 The big melodramatic sensation, ssrhe James Boys in, Missouri, will hold the boards atSPoli's this evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening, and it should draw out large audi ences. The piece has scored great success in the recital of the deeds of those world famous outlaws, present. ing if with all the spectacular effects nenessary to make one understand the many daring deeds and narrow es- capes of the James boys through all of their most famous exploits he- gently the records of the theaters where this play has been seen were broken by the immense crowds which witnessed the performances of this most wonderful portrayal of hlstori- cal events. The play takes the James boys from the time of the civil war when they began their career of crime to the time when Jesse was shot down by Bob Ford, a former member of his band, who had entered his home in the disguise of friend. It is a plav which cannot fail to interest those who like incidents in which there is plenty of action and excite merlt. A romantic love story is also nicely told during the action Of the piece. George Klimt and Alma Hcarn figure prominently in the cast and sthe company is otherwise large and com petent. Prices are 25. B and 90 cents, and for to-morrow's matinee 9 cents, children 15.

 Laughter lovers continue to crowd the Jacques and to jolly themselves with the remarkable laughing acts that crowd the bill. 1t is undoubtedly true, as has been said repeatedly on all sides during the week, that it is one of the greatest laughing shows ev- CT put on the stage not alone because of the extraordinary mirth-provoking character of the principal acts, but as well because of the variety and num- Der of the acts that are altogether of a comedy nature. From Watson, Hutehings and Edwards, the headlin- CTS, along down through Ward and Curran, Charles Kenna and the other clever funmakers it is nothing but laughter every minute, and it is doubt full if any show given in the house has caused more laughs. Anyone who likes a show that keeps everyone in laughter will suffer distinct loss who fails to see this one. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10 Next week, May Duryea and John l.. Kearney.

The town council met in regular
session last Monday night with all
the members present. After the
usual routine business they pro-
ceeded to the real work of the even
ing-the discussion of the bond
question and all questions proceed
ing therefron. The committee on
purchasing lot for standpipe re-
ported their contract Tor the 7. I.
Dimmick lot northeast of the school
house, which was contracted for $50
and enough paid to bind the bar
gain. The proposition to divide the
proposed bonds into ten equal pay
ments of $3.50 each, the whole to
draw per cent interest,", payable
semi-annually, on July and Janu-
airy ] of each year, carried unani-
mously, as did the proposition to
pay off the first installment Of prin
cipal $3.50 an July l, 1918, and the
other nine bonds in like amounts
on the first day of July of each sue
ceeding year until the last one is
paid in 1922. Sealed bids are to be
received on the placing of the
bonds to July 10, 1903, until O'Clock
p. M, when the bids will be opened,
the council reserving the right to
reject any and all bids. Specifca-
tions were drawn as to the
height, width and material for
stand pipe, the kind and number of
feet of mains to connect the present
system with the stand pipe. This
will require about 1850 feet of finch
pipe, probably galvanized iron.
The laterals if any will be of 3-inch
galvanized iron, and if the latter
are put in leading for a block or two
north and south of the main line no
hose need be purchased. The main
thing now is to go ahead and get
money tor the bonds and make no
bounden contract for any material
or have any work done until they
are sold
