the Democratic Advocate EDITORS CRIT
icism (Which was not only unjust,
but unkind) of the most elegant ana
refined musicale and literary enter
tainment given in this city at l. y. u
F. hall, Tuesday, evening, May llth
First, the hall was "comfortably" hlled
as was intended, as the commlttee
positively would not sell more tickets
than the seating capacity of the hall.
A musicale is a high class enter
tainment, and it was thoroughly en-
loved by the splendid audience pres
ent. with possibly the exception OF the
editor) which was shown by their num-
erous encores on every number, and
their intense interest which was kept
up to the end, Notwithstanding the
length of the program and the exces-
sive heat. The musicale was intended

BISHOP ]. II. VINCENT, D. D.
At Centenary Methodist Episcopal
Church Next Sunday.

On Sunday next, May "a, this emf

Methodist Episcopal Church, will
preach at Centenary Methodist Epis-
copal Church at 1880 a. M, and ad-
dress the members of the Epworth
League and Christian Endeavour So
cieties at s p. m.
Probably Bishop Vincent has been
more directly concerned in the young
peoples work in the churches than
any prominent churchman, the CHA
tauqua' Society, and the Epworth
League of the Methodist Episcopal
Church each owing much to his in
spiration and activity.
A special musical program has
been arranged for the morning and
evening services. In the evening the
congregations of the Methodist Prot
estant and ST. Paul's Reformed
churches will unite in the services.
In the morning Bishop Vincent's
topic will be "A Study in Spiritual

JUNIOR BANQUET.
Most Interesting and Enjoyable Event
of the College Year.

The Junior banquet of Western
Maryland College was held at the
Hotel Westminster Friday evening
May Is. AS this banquet is the chief
event of the junior class and one OF
the principal events of the college
year, it is held to be very important by
both faculty and students.
The weather was threatening, but
promptly at o'clock the carriages
were at the college, and within three
quarters of an hour the two classes,
including the vice-president of the col
lege and the preceptress, had all ar
rived at the hotel. Here they were cor
daily received by the president of the
junior class and members of the COM
mittee.
At s o'clock dinner was announced
and all made their way to the din
ingroom, which was beautifully dec
Grated with the colors of the junior
class, and the tables of which were
ornamented with Marshal Neil roses,
the junior class flower, and other
decorations. At the close of the meal
the hour was enlivened by we'll Sc
to as follows: Miss Bowling, '0S, ITO
luS y. VI. y, NIL. aSuDy, 10, 1mpl SS-
sions of College Life;" Miss Holt, '09,
"The Omnipresent Chaerone;" Miss
Stoll, 'O9, THE Noble Art of Hook
ing" Mr.. Turner, '09, "The Tight Hat
band;" Miss Venables, '08, ''To Parlor; +"
Prof. Mcdaniel, "The Man of the
Hour" Mr.. w. E. Short, pres, '08, ''To
'09;" Mr.. A. B. Coe, pres, ,'09, ITO '0S. %
Prof. Mcdaniel in his speech said that
he was proud of the Junior and senior
classes and that he was sure they
could not be surpassed by similar
classes in any other college in the
country.
At 1890 the carriages were ordered,
and the students all returned to col
lege as promptly and as orderly as
they left it.
The banquet was highly satisfactory
to all. Everybody seemed to make
the most of the occasion and acted
with that dignity and refinement char
acteristic of Western Maryland stu
dents.

WESTMINSTER HIGH SCHOOL.
Entertainment Given by the Pupils at
Odd Fellows Hall.

The pupils of Westminster Higl
Cobool gave an entertainment at Odt
EeIlow's Hall last Friday evening ant
roneated it on Monday evening. Th'
nrogram started with two songs b.
pprniIs of the primary department
folIowed by an address of welcome b.
1Iiss Leola BurgOon, after which th'
larger pupils sang in chorus 'Th'
lies Wake from Dewy Sleep" Th'
aniocas de resistance" were an oper
o4ta Little Bo-Peep," and three-ac
comedy, "Out of Town"
In the former the cast was as fol
lows: c,
Observation-Disclosures Miller.
adv Lea-Elsie Gernand.
Mistress Mary-Jeannette Jerome.
Gill-Treva Brown.
Cockle Shell-Hellen Townshend.
silver Bell-Grace Gunther.
Rov Blue-Guy Williams.
Taffy-George Little.
In the comedy the characters ant
players were: r,
John Spencer Ellington-James II
Crawford.
Whitmore.
lanes. the butler-Carroll Sneak.
Mrs. Jane Harrington Thorndike-
Katherine L. Lynch.
Elizabeth Thorndike-Hattie NJ.
Freeman.
Mrs ]. Ludington Monroe-Blanche
Williamson.
Esther Monroe-Lillian G. Shipley
Marie. Mrs. Thorndike's Maid
Ruth ROyer.
Both of the performances were well
attended by the parents, relatives and
friends of the pupils and the proceeds
will be devoted to increasing the
facilities of the school library.
The Young actors and actresses all
9couitted themselves creditably and
will no doubt emblish the stage later
on as worthy successors OF Booth
8nd Modieska The costuming and
drilling of the younger pupils is IN
great part to be credited to the teach
ers. who. in addition to their regular
and arduous duties, took upon them
selves this extra labor.
In the operetta and comedy the
characters were represented by pupils
from the higher grades, who needed
less coaching, being at that age where
the trials and tribulations of lovers
can be better appreciated and there
fore more easily portrayed. AS is
usually the case, the girls were more
at ease in these scenes than the boys
but all did we'll and earned the ap-
prOval given by the audience.
The First Regiment Band enllvened
the intermissions with music and
Miss Ida Lockard accompanied the
singers on the piano.
The furniture on the stage was
made in the manuaI training depart
ment of our high school, and is the
same that was exhibited at the James
town Exposition. 1t reflects much
credit upon the mechanical abilities
of our Westminster boys.

ODD NESTING PLACE.
Sparrows Build q Home Beneath the
Canopy of an Arc Lamp.

Two sparrows on Court street have
selected unique spot in which to
locate their nest and rear their young.
In looking about for site for sum-
mer home they discovered that the top
of an arc lamp, which in size and
shape resembles an ordinary tomato
can, would afford an excellent resting
place for the nest, while the
funnel-shaped covering would pro-
tect them from the wind and
rain. Here they have been at work
for several days putting their
house in order. Whether they have
given any thought to the heat generat-
ed when the light is on, and its effect
upon their comfort, is not known. 1t
strikes the onlooker as being rather
a warm spot on summer night, but
the little birds generally know what
they are about and have doubtless
taken this into consideration. In other
respects the selection is certainly a
good one. Neither crows nor bad boys
can disturb them, and they are eff
fectually shielded from the elements.
The lineman who attends to the lamps
looks upon them as very desirable ten
ants, and is very careful not to dis
turb them more than is necessary.

Finksburg w. C. T. U.

The Womans Christian Temperance
Union of Finksburg met at the home
of Mrs. Frank P. Fenby on Saturday,
May 16. Notwithstanding the inclem-
ent weather large number OF ladies
we're present. Mrs. Haslup, president
of the Maryland w. G. T. u, conducted
a parliamentary drill in an interest
ing manner, which was very instruc-
tive to the members On Sunday even
ing Mrs. Haslup delivered an excellent
address in the M. P. Church of Finks-
burg. Mrs. Haslup, who is forceful
and eloquent speaker, sounded the
note of victory for the temperance
forces. She gave graphic accounts of
the victories in Georgia, Alabama,
Oklahoma and other places where
the saloon has been prohibited. She
would have us remember the battle is
vet before us, and there is much earn
est work to be done before the final
victory, which is sure to come.

The colored prisoners were arraign-
ed on Tuesday. During the reading
of the indictments against the boys
for stealing chickens, two colored wo-
men sat on the back bench, pictures
of grief and woe. No one needed 10
be told that they were the mothers
of the accused. There was little evi-
dence of regret or sorrow in the faces
or manners of the prisoners. IF boys
and men could be made to think of
the tears and heartaches that are sure
to follow their wrong doing, there
would be less crime in the world.

missed upon condition that the family

Shanghai, Mar. 20 Two hundred
and fifty lives are reported lost in q col

Mstsu Maru and the Hideyoshi Maru,
both japanese stesns ships. The Matsu
Maru was sunk. Details Of the cstas-

1t is now known that the Mstsu Maru's
drowned included the captain, 49 sailors
and mos of the 244 pass ,ngers The vessel
carried. Probably the total list OF dead
Is about 275.

ness and, though she s,ood by for hours
and was aided after short delay BY an
other vessel summoned to the spot by
The signals for aid, few rescues were
made.
There was q frightful panic among
the Msisu's passengers, who fought With
one another for life as the vessel settled
under them. The crew behaved with
great courage, but could do little either
10 check the panic or save the maddened
people. The ship sank in a few mo-
ments after she was rammed.

Hanging a Failure.

Washington, Mar. ga terrible
sight was with, ,ed at the d s'rict Jail
this morning when the warden attempted
to carry out the mandate ofthe court
that Joseph Paolucci, convicted OF the
murder OF Elizabeth Dodge, be hanged
until dead. Paolucci was plsced on the
scsffold az 1906 a. m., and quarter Of
minute later the drop fell. He strang-
led until 1926, when life was rronoun-
ced extinct.
The Italian amba sador made special plea
to President Roosevelt for communication OF
his countryman's sentence, but upon the ad-
vice of Attorney General BoDaparte, who
failed TO find any extennatiDg circumstances
10 Paolucci's favor, the President refused to
interfere. Paolucci spent his last hours
singing to himself and seemed to be little
concerned over h approaching doom. Pao
