Aiken, Feb. 20.--Thme annual enter
tainment OF st. Angela's academy came
off on Friday afternoon and evening
before large and appreciatiye audi
ence. ~
That the numbers were varied, high
classed and superbly rendered is as
sented to by all who were present. Es-
pecially is this praise well founded and
iiattering i'm view of the fact that In
the brief life of the academy there
have been no pupils as yet beyond the
third term i'm music, defamation and
voice culture; indeed, the great ma
jority are first and second term pu-
pills. Thes olos and choruses were ex-
cellent, as the most fastidious could
expect under the circumstances.
The boys and girlsclasses made their
first bow to the public in pleasing
chorus. Before many years they will
ngure successfully I'm person as they
did last Friday evening "in gobs."
For brevity sake, the special points
OF eXcellency of individual pupils, OF
numbers. cannot be emphasized in de-
tail. 1t is but fair to point out In pass
ing, however, the elecutionary profici-
ency displayed in teh scene from
Schillers Mary Stuart" the beauty of
the arias and recitations in Longfel-
lows Wick of the Hesperus;" the
control of voice and breath in the "An-
gels Serenade," Grass and Roses
and the selected Terzette; then the
general excellence of the instrumental
numbers.
st. Angela's is rapidly becoming a
stronghold of intellectual power among
the youths OF this ection. Judging
from the splendid exhibition OF last
Friday 1T is safe to assume that, as the
work progresses, the patrons and
friends of the school viii be welcomed
again to still n better programme and
more excellent rendition

BIG FLOATING PUMP.
Apparatus to be Used to supply Bayou
Lafourehe.

Apparatus TO be Used to supply Bayou
Lafourehe.
Under the above caption the follow
ing appeared in the New Orleans
Times Democrat last Sunday:
The John FL. Murphy Iron Works,
which secured the contract IRON the La
fourehe and Atch afalaya levee boards
for the construction OF q floating
pumping plant, has completed the
work in ninety days. This IS the first
plant of it's kind ever constructed in
the south.
The two Ievee boards jointly agreed
to construct the floating pump, which
will take water out of the Mississippi
river and deliver it over the dyke at
Donaldsonville into Bayou Lafourche,
furnishing fresh water for the use OF
planters and others living along the
stream.
The pump is on floating barge,
which carries a battery of high pres
sure boilers for which the boiler de-
partment of Murphy's Iron Works
furnished everything, including the
steel plates, rivets and casting. The
work was done in the city by home
labor. The steam piping and acces-
series. with the water heaters and
pumps, were also installed by the firm.
The plant consists of two 24-ineh cen
trifugal pumps directly connected to
compound vertical engines. They de-
liver jointly a steel riveted pipe which
is laid on the river bank from the
waters edge to the bottom of the dyke,
from whence the water is carried over
the top of the dyke by means Of a
number OF syphon pipes. The riveted
pipe and connections were also con-
structed at the local iron works. The
centrifugal pumps were furnished by
the Morris Machine Works, repre-
sented by John e. Murphy. The ca
pacity of the pumps is SO, 000, 900 gal
ions every twenty four hours.
The barge containing the big pump
arrived here Monday and was placed
ia position yesterday under the super
vision of Mr.. Murphy and members of
the Lafourehe and Atch afalaya levee
boards. All of the connections have
been made and it is expected that
water will be flowing through the pipes
into Bayou Lafourche by Tuesday
morning. J. A. Mollere, an efficient
engineer, has been engaged to take
charge of the big pump.

Chamberlain,s Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its good
qualities can be surprised at the great popn-
larity of Ghamberlain's Cough Remedy. It
not only cures colds and grip eHectually and
permanently, but prevents these. diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. It is also a
certain cnre for Group. Whooping cough is
not dar gerous when this remedy is given.
It contains no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as confidently TO a
baby as to an adult. 1t is also pleasant to
take. When all of these facts are taken into
in foreign lands, as we'll as at home, esteem
this remedy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after having once
used it. For sale atX-Ray Drug Store.
