HIGH SCHOOL ExERC1sEs.

The Town hall was well filled, Tues day afternoon, by the parents and friends of the pupils of the High school, which is just closing it's first year, under the principalship of Burr Hollister. The hall had been very tastefully decorated. Over each win dow were flags arranged in rosettes. The piano was banked high with roses. Over the stage was daisy chain, and shield on which were the initials, "W. H. s. MT Hollister about 2. p. m. Rev MT Carter and Rev MT Peck made two capital addresses. Mir Carter said in part: My first words today are those of very hearty and sincere congratulations for the first year of the Washington High school. Begun as an experiment. it has demonstrated that it is success. The first year is the hardest time for a High school. The first year is a full fllment and prophecy. MT Carter first called the attention of the young people to the place of education in their own development. The way for us to do is to go through life like Op- pheus, to have our souls tuned to the Gods gifts. The exercises opened witt. the following hymn:
 Lord we come before Thee now,
 At Thy feet we humbly bow.
 Oh. do not our suit disdain!
 Shall we seek Thee, Lord. in vain2
 Lord on Thee our souls depend,
 In compassion now descend;
 Fill our hearts with Thy rich grace
 Tune our lips to sing Thy praise.
 In Thine own appointed way.
 Now we seek Thee, here we stay;
 Lord, we know not how to go,
 Till blessing Thou bestow.
 Grant that all may seek and find
 Thee, God supremely kind;

The Allison Go. of 5 East 7th street, New York, are doing a fine business in the novelty curtain line. Their factory at Hawleyville, now employing B hands, is under the superintendency of T. H. Pope, an experienced curtain man, who has recently assumed the management. MT Pope has introduced and is turning out fine grade of work. He now has an opening for 10 or 15 girls or women and will pay good wages while learning. The Allison Co. now occupy the entire central and eastern part of the Baker building at Hawleyville, which seems admirably adapted to such a business.

Two cars jumped the track on the Shepaug branch, Sunday night, on the freight train bound south. The accl- dent occurred just north of the Tun- nel in Washington. A car loaded with wood did the mischief. It jumped the track and pulled the milk car after it. The two cars rolled down the embank- ment. The cars turned turtle and rolled over. Fortunately but little of the milk was loss, as it was bottled and in boxes. Conductor Barnum was in charge of the train. The regular passenger train south was not delayed, as the damage to the track had been repaired.

He had reason to believe. he said. that just now many foolish people of Mont gomery were being swindled out Of their money by fakers and he wanted to show where 1t was not only a foolish practice from a financial standpoint, but practice inimical to the best in- terests of the Lord Jesus Christ
 He had been given the benefit of much practical experience with this class. he said. In his younger days, he had the fortune to be an intimate friend of young woman of fine Southern family. who was one of the best mediums in the country. He had attended many seances and had seen a table do all that was claimed for it. He had always noticed, however, that the table never knew more than the people around the board knew, and that whenever the table attempted speakins in Latin and Greek or any other foreign languages, the Latin or Greek was just as faulty as the Latin or Greek of the people about the board

Hypnotism has long since been pecog- I nized as a purely natural sciehce and mental telepathy Is becoming more and more understood by the scientists each year.
 Certain distinguished men, said pr. 1 Anderson, have formed an association l to carefully look into the occult arts. These investigations are legitimate and are made by men of distinction and reputation. They stand out In strik- ing contrast with the work of the cairvoyants who are besieging Mont gomery and who he declared '.are mere charlatans" Rut even the distin-
 guished men Have utterly failed with
 all their investigations to give any additions to human knowledge and,

 asked the question why he did not go and find the money himself. He re- lated other incidents of this character. Moses in his law sets out. said pr. Anderson, that such trickery is an abomination in tho sight of the Lord and Moses should have known more than any present day clairvoyant for
