Sunset Chapter Entertains.

Sunset Chapter, Order of Eastern
Star, held its third annual social last
evening at Grange hall, the supper,
various features of the entertainme nt
and the dance making up a Veritaole
gala night and far more extensive
program than this society has pre-
vously attempted.
A fine supper of baked beans, cold
meats and pastry was served from
five to seven o'clock, this important
department being in charge of Mrs.
Chas. North, Mrs. Chas. Chute and
Miss Susie Harris. The hour made II
convenient for the business people OF

pantomime followed in which the
story of "Bluebeardn always won
derful to years of childhood and youth
and never entirely losing it's interest,
even for grown ups, was dellneated
with an abundance of mirth and dro-
lery, only possible in pantomime.
The dancing with song accompanl-
ment, given by Misses Healey, Me-
Ilwrath, Clark, Pennell, Bearce and
Brooks, made a great hit and was
greeted with liberal applause. Two
of this sextet also executed the Sail
or's Hornpipe with much grace and
spirit Mr.. Fred North gave violin
solo which was very we'll received
and Jos. X Goodrich delighted his
Skowhegan friends with his several
readings.
The program was closed with a
farce, "First Glass Hotelo in which
all the amusing situations possible to
hotel life were shown in their most
mirth provoking manner.
Over one hundred couple partici-
pated in the dance which commenced
promptly at the close of the enter
tainment and continued until after
twelve.
The net proceeds of the evening
at this time is finally determined but
it is likely that from all sources net
revenue of something over $50 will be
returned.

The iron ladder formerly extending
to the top of the standpipe now lies
at it's base, where it fell on the morn
ing of March 20. All through the
winter it had been accommodating a
weight of ice which, it seems, became
finally too much for it to sustain. The
water from which the ice formed
came from two sources. There were
leaks in the side of the standpipe
where the bolts attaching the ladder
did not completely close the openings
through which they were inserted,
and in addition to this, when the
standpipe has run over, the water
from the overflow would freeze on
the ladder and upon its load of ice
already accumulated. Previous to
its breaking down, this column of ice
was very noticeable on the southern
face of the standpipe. 1t was the full
height of the structure, seventy five
feet, and although irregular i'll shape,
NAV be said to have had an average
diameter of five feet What a column
of ice seventy five feet in height and
five feet in diameter would weigh is a
somewhat intricate problem but it
could not have been less than thirty
five tons and it is not strange that the
ladder should have given way under
it. When the standpipe was first
erected, nearly twenty years ago,
similar ladder was built on the inside
but this was long ago destroyed by
the ice as it rose and fell with the
changing level of the water.
