HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINED
Glasses of 1910 and 1911 Entertained
by Senior Glass.

by Senior Class.
The Glasses of 1910 and 1911 of the
High School were entertained Friday
afternoon by the Senior Glass. A very
interesting and novel entertainment
was provided into which every one en-
tered heartily
First on the list of amusements was
trip on the Senior r.. r. to Pumpkin
Point. The different class rooms were
the trains, and the passengers had
to "change cars" at every station.
This was rendered tolerable by the
fact that at each stop half minute
was allowed for refreshments, which,
however, had to be consumed on the
train.
After an exciting trip the company
arrived at their destination, which
proved to be the Chapel. Here each
person was given number and as the
number was called was obliged to bal
ance a potato on a spoon and carry it
half way round the room. There was
barrel, through which all the boys
and those girls who were unsuccessful
In balancing the tuber had to crawl.
The rest took a more dignified mode
of transit, but as each reached the
next room, he was given crack
er which was termed food for
Thought" Upon reciting a piece of
poetry at the 4" "Adelphian Oracle y a
glass of lemonade was granted to ac-
company the cracker.
The concluding number was con-
test between the Glasses of 10 and IL,
to discover which possessed the most
talent at hanging clothes. This was
won by the Freshmen, the first prize,
picture, going to Miss Parsons, Ill,
and the BOBBY prize to Holland, IL.
The Sophs.n however, found conso-
slation in the fact, that, while the
freshmen were busy boasting Of their
skill. the refreshments provided for
those who were oYerworked, disap-
peared ia a manner that the younger
students knew not OF.

The Lauter Piano

The rewards that are the inevita-
bic results of merit come to us. A
week does not pass without our being
the recipients of testimonial from
some expert pianist or plan oman
speaking in enthusiastic terms of his
delight over Lauter Piano that he
has just seen in his own city or neigh
borhood. Constantly from all over
the country we are being told by
people whose Judgment is expert,
whose opinion is the result of unbiased
investigation, that the Lauter Piano, in
exquisitely beautiful tone, in superb
modulation, in faultless balance Of
scale and in fineness of construction,
is without an equal among its com
petitors.
You can readily ascertain the facts
for yourself if you will but come to
our warerooms or factory both,
and examine our products. We are
always glad to have people investigate
the Lauter Piano, not only as finished
instrument, but in course of construc-
ton in the various departments as
well.
We gladly send beautifully illus
trated catalog of the different styles to
any address on request.

The boys left ear was also badly lac

Meninger made the attack on the boy
without provacation it is asserted.
He had followed Klinedinst to school
and went up to him and said "Now
I've got you" and stabbed him with a
pocket knife. The injured boy was
cared for at the school and later was
taken to his home. Meninger was
committed to Jail by Justice Edward
@. Johnston to await the action of the
grand jury. Meninger and the Kline
dinst lad had a fight two years ago,
but had had nothing to do with each
other since. Meninger was released
from jail recently, where he had been
committed on his fathers complaint
that the boy had threatened to kill
him. The boy is reputed to be men,
tally unbalanced and it is probable
that steps will be taken to have him
examined as to his sanity.

SHOCKED TO DEATH
Charles Hildebrant Killed While

l
| Working on Electric Pole.
Charles Hildebrant, a lineman in
the employ of the Public Service Cor
poration was shocked to death this
morning, while working on one of tie
company's poles, at the corner Of Bank
and Ann streets. Hildebrant aScended
the pole with a short piece of wire,
the ends Of which he had cleaned of
it's insulation. When he reached the
| top, he turned around and the piece
| of wire which he was holding came in
contact with one of the primary wires.
At the same moment his right hand
touched the other primary wire, thus
throwing the full force of the 1,10O
volt current through his body. Hide
brant was thrown by the force Of the
current, among the wires and his as
sistant, Theodore Clark, seeing his
predicament ran in Glanville's black
smith shop for help. Jesse Lynch. of
the Electric Company, was on his way
down Bank street when the accident
happened and he put on pair OF buck
skin gloves and climbed the pole.
Lynch struck Hildebrands hand a
blow which released his grip on the
wire and the mans body fell inert
against the cross arm. A line was Sc
cured from the Telephone Company
and Hildebrant's body was lowered to
the ground. DIR. Clifford Mills and
DR.. James Douglas examined the body,
but found no traces of life. The body
was removed to Struble's undertaking
establishment in All Souls Hospital
ambulance which had been summoned.
Chief Holloway notified Coroner Coul-
tas, who will view the body this after
noon. Hildebrant had been in the
employ OF the company for a little
more than year. His deauh is con-
sidered to be due to his own careless
ness in not wearing rubber gloves. He
was about twenty-five years old and
resided at I Clinton street. The in
dex finger of his right hand was
burned almost off by the electric cur

We Rent Pianos

Not only have we our own Lau-
ter Pianos in stock, but we have, in
addition, some half dozen other makes
of standard quality. These we sell, as
we do Lauter Pianos, on extremely at
tractive prices and terms. No one can
come here and not be satisfied, for we
have stock large enough to suit every
possible taste. Every piano that we
sell, be it our own or of some other
make, goes out under guarantee that
absolutely insures the purchaser
against risk.
There are very many people who
would wish to purchase a piano, but
who refrain from doing SO because
they are not sure that they would care
to have one permanently. To such
our RENTING PLAN should appeal
strongly. We rent thoroughly good
new Upright Pianos at as low as FOUR
DOLLARS monthly and cost of cart
age. The instrument can be pur-
chased any time within six months,
and all that may have been paid US in
rent and carriage will be allowed from
the price. We arrange, too, to receive
the balance in small sums month by
month.
Why not RENT piano, and pur-
chase later if you like it7

less one: held on. although he saw
Ellen's boat in a few moments would
intercept the ship; held on, when he
saw that boat disappear on tie lee
side of the ship; held on when he
saw the ship thrown into the wind
to make half board so that her way
was practically checked; held on when
two figures appeared upon the deck
of the ship, and one, boyish look
gangway and stood in full view of the
approaching cutters, waved hand,
lifted a cap disdainfully and then dis
appeared; held on when he saw the
boat which the two had abandoned,
trailing astern at the end of long
line.
1t was my lords nature to hold on
doggedly so long as there was the
faintest possibility of success and be-
yond. And he kept up the chase of
the big ship even though she suddenly
covered with light canvas. and, catch
ing the full force of the breeze, great
ly accelerated her motion. He held
on even though a slant of the wind
brought the breeze over the quarter
of the big ship as she bore away on
her course to the eastward Caring
ton marked that with sudden sur
prise. The ship was not going to
America apparently.
But 1t was evident. even to the most
sanguine mind. that the game was
up. Strathgate's boat was suddenly
put about. The earl had abandoned
the chase and was going back to har-
Dor. Darlington was not so easily
daunted, or perhaps he was more
blind to the possibilities, for he strove
to persuade the boatmen to continue
the chase. He would have sailed to
France, or to America, or to the end
of the world, in whatsoever boat he
was on SO long as it would float But
the boatmen were not so minded. They
were not provisioned for such a
cruise nor prepared for it. Not even
the incentive of unlimited financial
rewards with which Darlington strove
to dazzle them could make them agree
to continue the pursuit. They were
clamorous for putting back to Ports
mouth. seeing plainly that they had
failed. 1t was only the personal au-
thority Of Carrington's rank and sta
tion which kept them from summarly
dispossessing him from the helm.

BRIDE sALkeD AT THE ALTAR.
Massachusetts Girl Refused to Wed
Count and Denounced Him.

At st. Stanislaus' church, Fall River,
Mass. Angela Pawlow, daughter of a
merchant, absolutely refused to go on
with the marriage ceremony that was
to unite her to Basyl Mulinski, who
says he is Polish count and the
owner Of an estate in Russia.
The marriage had been set for
eight o'clock. The church was crowded
with friends and relatives. The bride
groom had answered an exultant
Yes" to the usual question, and the
bride. in white silk wedding dress
with long veil and wedding bouquet,
seemed to smile as Father Basin
turned to her and asked: will thou
take unto thee this man to be thy
lawfully welded husband?"
The bride dropped her hand from
the arm Of the bridegroom. She
turned and faced the crowded church
and answered loudly:
mo: he has been unfaithful to me
before marriage. 1 will not marry
him."
Then the girl ran down the aisle to
her mother. The audience was dunn
founded. Before it really appreciated
what had happened the church ofTlcials
had cleared the church.
