a Successful Queen O. the MAY

The Universalist Society scored an
o her success in the entertainment field
e "a; Thursday and Friday evenings, in
tie presentation of the cantata, "Queen
o. the May" which was very successfully
given to appreciative and fairly good
sized audiences. For the success of the
affair very much credit is due Mrs. Ida
Churchill for her untiring efforts in drill
ing the children in the musical part of
the program and to Miss Tia Niles for her
work in staging it. While the music of
itself was catchy, the breezy, lively man
ner in which it was rendered, with Mrs.
Churchill at the piano, and with an or
chestra consisting of G. A. Gile, cornet; !;
f. L. George and James Reed, clarinet; J;
Nat Freeman, violin, and P. c. Greene,
cello, the result was all that could be
desired.
AS Queen of May, Miss Brenda Harris
was all that the part called for and in
her solo, "A May Morning." her sweet
soprano voice was heard to good advan-
tage. The part of Florence, the child
ren's teacher, was gracefully and very
well taken by Miss Nellie Minott, and as
her admirer, Clinton Cooper was easy
and natural, the solos of both being well
rendered and received. Misses Vivian
Greene, Ruth Greene, Gladys Bedell,
Winnie Bedell as maids of honor, and
Misses Nora Green, Doris Graves, Eloise
Stafford, Stella Taylor, Susie Towne,
Barbara Small as flower girls, with Ken
meth Dodge as herald and Herbert Town
as color bearer, in their solos, also the
solo by Miss Vivian Greene and the duet
by the Misses Hazel and Sadie Sherman
The chorus included Nellie Shattuck.
Edith Spiller, Mary Gates, Dorothy Small,
Rena Merrill, lila Towne, Doris and Eliza
beth Barrows, Edith Stewart. Isabel
Harris, Harold and Lyle Tilotson, Ed
ward and Elwood Emmonds.
The character song, Don't You Want
A Paper, Dearie P' by Miss Tia Niles, as
sisted by a chorus composed of Misses
iud Ellis, OTdCt DtuCiiY wv" SiaiSs ~'Oi
lie Minott, Jesse Waite, Clinton Cooper,
Roy Stafford, Mark Cutting and Guy Stat
ford made great hit and received en-
cores both evenings. The clarinet solos |
by Miss Vivian Greene were also well re-
ceiyed and heartily encored and the Jap |
anese fan drill by Misses Gladys Bedell,
Winnie Bedell, Sadie Sherman, Dorothy |
Small, Vivian Greene and Ruth Greene
was very pretty. While the singing was
all exceptionally good, special mention
should be made of the song, The Little
Pink ParasOl," by Doris and Elizabeth
Barrows and Doris Graves, the " Jump
ing Song" by Harold and Lyle Tillotson
and Elwood Emmonds, and the singing
by Edward Emmonds, Isabel Harris and
Edith Stewart.

SEEING THE SUN IN BALLOON.

At the height of two miles the sun
shines with a fierce intensity unknown
below where the dust and the depser
air scatter the rays which, thus diff
fused. lose their intensity while illum-
mating every nook and corner of our
houses, writes II. II. Clayton in Allan
tic Monthly. At heights exceeding five
miles this diffused light is mostly gone
and the sun shines a glowing ball,
sharply outlined in a sky of which the
blue is so dark as to approach black
ness. AT the outer limits of the at
mosphere the sun would appear a brill
liant star of massive size among other
stars, and il one stepped from its burn
ing rays into shadow he would enter
Egyptian darkness. At the height Of
a mile ard a half we found it necessary
to shelter cur faces to prevent sunburn,
although the air around us was but lit
tie warmer han that of the previous
night, being about As degrees. AS the
afternoon wore on and the balloon be-
gan to coo inc sink we were obliged to
throw out much sand, casting it away
q scoupful at a time, and just after sum
set it was even necessary to empty two
or three bags at once.

denied that he had sent the postal

Levy, land il I catch the one who

covered that it was All Fools Day,

MINISTER'S FOES
CIRCULATE PAPER
FOR HIS REMOVAL
Petition to Presbytery in Case
of the Rev. Roland S.
Dawson.

1t was said today in Kearny that a
petition is being circulated by some of
the members of The Knox Presbyterian
Church, of that town, asking for the
removal of the Rev. Roland s.. Dawson
as pastor of the church. If a sufficient
umbe of the members of the con-
%gregation sign the petition in question
1t will be presented to the Newark
P~resbytery, according to the story.
y There has been much friction be-
tween the Rev. Mr.. Dawson and some
members OF his flock because he insist
ed on running things as he thought
best. According to the pastor a certain
element had been in power in the
church until he came there, but when
he was installed as pastor he made up
his mind hat he and he alone would
handle the reins This did not seem to
satisfy some of his parishioners, and
the result was dissatisfaction,
A few months ago in the Sunday
school, the pastor requested some of
the members of a class to recite and
they refused to do it, wherupon they
were requested to leave the room, which
they did. Immediately some of those
who had opposed the pastor ever since
his installation, embraced the chance
>. they had been waiting for and with
drew as members of the Sunday school.
A plumber shop was used as a tempor-
airy Sunday school by the %seceders, and
a few weeks ago a permanent Sunday
school was organized with h%eadquar-
ters in the Beulah NJ. p. Church.
Mr.. Dawson, when seen today in re-
gard to the supposed petition. said he
a heard a few weeks ago that such
a petition was afoot, but he placed little
credence In the report, because of the
fact that a similar movement was
started a year ago, but never amounted
to anything, the i~nstigators of 1t dis
claiming all knowledge of such a thing
when asked about it. MI. Dawson is
Of the opinion that if a petition is signed
by any of the members of his congre-
cation n presented to the p~resbytery
1t will receive little, IL any, considera-
ton when the facts relating to the
trouble in the church are made known.
Those who We're thought to have been
circulating the petition when asked
about it disclaimed all knowledge of
any such movement.
