THE FOURTH AT sroN1NoToN

The entertainment gotten up
by the Sunday School was a sue
cess from every point of view.
The program in the forenoon
consisted of music and recitations.
The children did their part well.
The basket dinner was simply i'm
mense and surely no one went
hungry. Everyone seemed to be
there and all seemed to be enjoy
ing themselves. The afternoon
was given to music and speaking
by the older ones.

some splendid thoughts. w. H.

Although the crowd was large
good order prevailed. At an

faces homeward, feeling that
they had all had a most enjoy

High School Foot Ball.

Last Saturday the foot ball team Of
our high school went to La Junta to play
the team Of that school. The Supt., High
School Prin., and several other teachers.
many students and other friends, accom-
panied the party. Our school team, or
ganized only eight days before, met de-
feat, the score being to o in favor of
La Junta. In the first half our boys
showed superior playing but early fati-
que general want of hardness and alert
ness which will come with practice and ex-
perence caused disaster in the last
half. 1t is generally admitted that for
the first game our boys did nobly; and
they were loyalty supported in all ways.
When the victorious team of Saturday
layed their first game. few weeks ago.
they were defeated by the score of AZ to
o. So the score for our Rocky Ford boys
is not felt to be humiliation. The COM
ing Saturday the Lamar r. S. is expect
ed to come to Rocky Ford, to play our
team.

admittedly the finest piece OF
church architecture in any of the
towns and cities of the Arkansas
Valley, including the city of
Pueblo; and the auditorium while
not by any means the largest, is
seid by very competent clerical
judges, to be the most artistic in
the state.
THE BUILDING.
The architect of the building was
J. c. Fulton, of Uniontown, Pa. The
builder is S. A. Mcdonald, former
ly of Denver but now OF Rocky Ford
The estimated cost is placed at S23,-
600, and will very probably round out
an even $4,000 when all the etcetcras
are provided and the grounds lcvelled
and parked.
The building stands upon foun.
dation of heavy concrete, faced with
concrete stone laid in black mortar.
The supcrstructurc is of grey man
.ganese pressed brick of the beautiful
Opebblc glaze finish. The style OF
architecture is Tudor Gothic, the OBJ
fuse angle arch and base and redi..
mcnt of the gothic idea being carried
out throughout the building, extend
ing to the church pew furnishings
and the decorative glass OF the illu-
minated windows. Gothic. 1rched
cloistcr corridors extend along the
north and east fronts, forming spa
cious entrances to the building. The
windows are all of opalesccnt glass,
the modern substitute for stained
glass. The two main window open
ings are on the east and north, one
illustrating the TRANSPORTATION and
the other the agony in thccsa'den:
, being beautiful reproduction OF
Hofmann's "Get semane-"
The basement of the structure con-
tains only the heating and ventilating
apparatus of the building. all the
modern equipment of Sunday School
and accessory social and business
meeting rooms being upon one floor
with the church auditorium. The pro-
vision made for heating and ventilat.
ing involves in itself an investment OF
about $1,000 and is certainly fea,,
ture of the building. By a system OF
electric fans the foul air is drawn out
as we'll as the fresh air let in and
carried through the furnace f1ues Tor
heating. These fans can be used for
drawing cool air into the church in
summer time as we'll as circulating
warm air in winter. Thus one of the
prime needs of a wholesome and
comfortable assembly room has been
specially provided for.
Entering the church by either the
east or the north portico, one is adj
mitted directly to the audience room
of the church. 1t is cathedral like in

MISS LIEBERMAN's CONCERT.
Society and Musical Folk Enjoy
Treat at Raleigh Hotel.

An audience that quite filled the large
ballroom OF the Raleigh Hotel was pres
ent at the tenth anniversary concert of
Miss IAeberman and her advanced pupils
last night IL was an audience made I'D
OF some OF the most prominent people
outside Of official life In Washington,
and from beginning TO end the concert
was heartily enjoyed.
The pupils of Miss Lieberman were as
sisted by Mrs. I. Toense, soprano; Miss
Florence Bean, contralto; Mr.. Henry
Jaeger. flutist. and by Miss Lieberman
herself, who was the accompanist.
Eight pianos were used. and sometimes
during the concert they were all in
operation at once, and this was owing
TO the fact that Miss LiebeTman had ar
ranged certain parts of the music for an
orchestra Of pianos. an arrangement never
before contaminated
One of the most heartily appiauded
numbers on the programme was the para
phrase or prize song from the "Meister-
singer" by Wagner, played by Miss
Mary Dortch Number was an es-
pecially attractive number. Miss Miriam
Isel, Miss Anna Frain, Miss Emma Moul-
ten. and Miss Alma Schawb all acquit-
ting themselves with great credit in their
respective parts. One of the most diff
cult numbers was the serenade by Wun-
derstine, arranged for an orchestra OF
pianos, each pupil playing a different
part. This was arranged by Ais Lieber-
man herself. and was played by her pupils
with brilliant effect The solo piano was
played by Miss Ella Parry
Much interest was taken in number
10. played by Miss Esther Kann. a pref
~ child, only nine years old. who has d
wonderful technique for her age. and
who played selections from ~Paderewski
Durand. and Haydn, so that she won the
unstinted applause of the audience.
In brief, the concert was a great must
! cal success, and displayed a high order
of talent. At its conclusion there was
/ brief address by the Hon Hosea b
Moulton, who presented the medal of the
/ class 70 Miss Esther Kann.
