A SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.
The Reeves Recital at Foy Auditorium

The Reeves Recital at Foy Auditorium.
 Considering that the week previous to the Christmas holidays is the worst in the year to tempt an audience to attend an entertainment, the very large gath ering at the Foy auditorium last even- ing was a flattering tribute to Roscoe Reeves, the dramatic reader, who gave a powerful rendition of Dickens famous "Christmas Carol"
 The story is we'll adapted to bring out the versatile requirements of Mir. Reeves from grave to gay; from lively to severe" and his portrayals of serooge as the covetous, scewling old nliser, and as the emancipated Scroege, the jolly old fellow who knew how to keep Christmas, were equally natural and vivid.

ROBERT FooTE RESIGNS.


 Cashier of Tradesmen's Bank Finishes .... Long Term of Service.
 The directors of the Tradesmen's Na- tional bank accepted the resignation of Robert Foote Monday. MT. Foote has held the office of cashier for twenty seven years, and the directors regret his resignation, as he has made himself invaluable to the bank by intelligent and faithful service.
 MT. Foote announced a year ago that he intended to resign. It seems proba- ble that Howard W. Thompson, the as- sistant cashier, will succeed to the eashiership. The resignation does not take effect until January, when MT. Foote will leave for the west, to spend some time in California.

The decision of the supreme court In
the institution bond case was anticl-
pated by many people OF h state. VINO
have all along felt that the issuance
of institution bonds was a means OF
obtaining necessary funds by pledging
the land grant of t he institutions.
which seemed wise and necessary I'M
der the circumstances, but would hard
ly stand a strict test of the law. The
making of improvements and additions
at public institutions will therefore
have to be deferred until such time as
funds are in hand or the state can
legally issue bonds. With the state
educational institutions the result will
be inconvenience and it will not be
possible to do the best work. In the
case of the asylum, additional build
ings would seem to be a necessity and
the governor will probably have TO
meet the emergency by removing some
of the patients to Grafton. The sta
tus of the capitol building bonds is not
exactly stated by the court. except
that they are not subject TO the same
limitations as the other bonds. In
other words, funds arising from the
sale of institution bonds cannot be so
applied. This, however. does not re
lieve the debt limit feature of the
question. II is likely the whole mat
ter will have to be wrestled with by
the next legislature. II is disappoint-
ing that the present generation-the
pioneers. cannot anticipate some Of
the wealth that will come 10 future
generations for the schools. In a few
years the wealth from state lands
will support the schools entirely. II
would be a great advantage if the
burden OF construction could be in
some measure borne by the land en-
dowment. But as it cannot be done,
there's NJ use crying over split milk.
We must make the best of it.
