Neigh Leader: A dispatch to the
daily papers announces that Rev.
Charles A. Jacquith has resigned the
pastorate of the First Congregational
church of New Windsor, Conn, to be-
come principal of Gates academy.
Several months ago Principal Taylor
rendered his resignation to the execu.
tive committee, having made arrange
ments to pursue studies fitting him
more especially for his chosen life
work.
Correspondence was at once opened
with friends of the academy in the
east, who highly recommended Rev.
Jaquith. Finally, the position of prin.
cipalship of the academy was rendered
him at meeting of the board held
early in March, and a few days ago
his acceptance was received. In the
letter he stated that he had been led
to consider the matter favorably,
largely through the outspoken words
of praise given the school by Professor
h.. E. Gregory of Yale university, for
merly of Neigh. Rev. Jaquith is a
comparatively young man, is married,
but has no children. He graduated
from the classical course of Dartmouth
college, and afterwards from the d.
vinity school of Yale. He has been
engaged in the ministry for six years,
and has been successful. The new
principal will enter upon his duties
next fall, probably coming to Neigh

COMING BAND MINSTREL.

rus of Pretty Norfolk Girls.
On April 20, just week from next
Monday, the band minstrel show will
hold down the boards at the Audito-
rum. A good production by home
talent, a better show in fact than the
minstrel "hit" of a year ago, and a
worthy cause entitled the band boys
to look to Norfolk people to reserve
Easter Monday for the band MINISTRIES.
When the curtain goes up the first
time it will disclose stage effect
more elaborate and pleasing than the
one arranged last year. True to their
part the end men will appear as black
face comedians but the chorus will be
costumed to represent the various ma
tons of the earth.
Three songs by a chorus OF pretty
Norfolk girls will be one of the spe-
cial features. New songs, monologues
and fancy specialties are being prac-
ticed
Frank Conley, a Norfolk travelling
man who handles the Robert Burns
cigar, is to be one of the particular
stars of the evening in a black face
specially.
The purpose of the minstrel show
is of course to bring funds to the re-
lief of the bands treasury. In addi-
ton to having to meet regular expens-
es of about SIS month the band is
decidedly short on uniforms.
