GRADE EXERCISES .

The program for the week began on
Tuesday evening, when the grades up to
the Grammar schoUl gave one of the
finest entertainments of its kind ever
seen in Paw Paw. The opera house was
not nearly large enough to accommodate
the proud aud expectant parents and
friends there asse mbled to see the little
ones, some were babies, go through the
various exercises and appear for the
first proud moment as little actors aud
actresses each one bent on pleasing that
sea of smiling faces. Each number on
the program was a good one, the par
ticipants taking their parts in a manner
that might bring envy 10 the hearts OF
those much older.
The wee tots from the Kindergarten
in their song and drill of "the sunbon
net babies and overall boys" were un-
usually good and showed much careful
patient instruction and drill on the part
of their teacher They were all wee ba-
bies of only few years. Rock -a-bye
Lady" with its II little poppy girls was
also very unique and much appre
/ ciated. The Birds Convention" by boys
of the 4th and 9th grades was veil given
and each little fellow proved himself SO
bird indeed.
The recitations by Rowene Bradley
and Bonmila Hrdlcka were we'll giver
and much enjoyed. The operetta, "Or
Plymouth Rock" by the 4th, 9th, Gil
and 7th grades was fitting close to ,

Dun's Weekly Review

NEW YORK. Nov 19.-R. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade tomorrow VIII say:
Monetary anxietes have faded and business
generally continues wonderfully large and
prosperous. Some serious problems appear, one
of them the higher prices IN many markets'
but these are in process OF adjustment. The
conner Industry. so long under the depressing
influence of a tremendous production, Will De
favorabIy affected by plans for bringing the
trade under better control
Reports from various trade centers continue
of the same general nature.
Some lull in the demand for pig Iron Is
offset by continued heavy purchases OF finished
material at advancing prices and reports
are not infrequent Of premiums being paid
for prompt delivery.
Buying rolling stock and other equipment
by prominent railroads is conspicuous fea-
ture, and some congestion is noted at car
Trade continues steady with dry goods job
bing houses and shows many evidences OF
broadening in retail channels. Prices continue
to rise, advances in prints having been an
nouncad on Monday. Advances were made
unanuounced in other lines. Cotton prices
cnotinue to haev a direct influence on the
values Of goods, and manufacturers are be-
coming more conservative in building up
stocks,
This is causing merchants TO restrict sales
to spot and nearby deliveries. Some good sales
of prints for shipment to Manila nave been
made, but export trade generally is quiet.
Underwear and hosiery lines for fall are
being opened and initial orders at the neces-
sary advances are Of moderate character.
Stocks in first and second hands are in a
healthy condition.
Trade in shoes steadily expands and the
market is firm. with buyers Obliged TO meet
the advances Calf leather shoes are especially
high. The entire leather market is in de-
cidedly strong position and stocks Of about all
varieties are closely held up. There is con-
slant stiffening tendency on al varieties and
prices are materially higher than they We're

ALL CONCERNED
Attorney General at Banquet in South

Nation from His Legal
Standpoint
1Rv Assoclated Pressl

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 1.-Modifica-
tion of the interstate commerce act to
obtain reasonableness of rates to all
and fairness of practices in the opera
tion of interstate railways was sug-
gested by Attorney General George w.
Wickersham in an address tonight at
the annual banquet of the Commercial
club, given in commemoration of the
signing of the John Jay commercial
treaty.
Mr.. Wickersham responded to the
toast "The Interstate Commerce Com
mission"
Mr.. Wickersham advocated a ma
tional incorporation law and said that,
should such a law demonstrate its
value, it might be wise ultimately to
prohibit state corporations from en-
gagng in interstate commerce.
For the purpose said Mr.. Wicker
sham, "of preventing the conflict of
decisions and delays and uncertainties
in the enforcement of the interstate
law which now exists, it is proposed to
create a special tribunal to be known as
the commerce court, in which shall be
exclusively vested all the jurisdiction
now possessed by the circuit and dis
trict courts and the circuit courts of
appeals of the United States with re-
spect to the enforcement or review of
orders and DEGREES of the interstate
commerce commission.
"To remove the commission from the
position of prosecutor or litigant 1t is
proposed that all proceedings to enforce

porations engage in interstate trade.
DR.. stephen d. Wise, rabbi Of the
free synagogue of New York, spoke on
municipal reform. He said in part:
THE most deadly enemy Of the re-
public who must be met and over
come is the city CRATER the munici-
pal corruptionist.
THE power of Tammany Halls-not
Tammanv Hall of New York-but OF
philadelphia, Chicago and san Fran
cisco. is made possible by the corrupt
leadership of a few and the inert ae-
quiescence of the many The differ
ence between most political corrup-
tionists and the average political pur-
ist is that the former are dead in ear
nest and the latter are, in earnest,
dead.
''Civic reform must be matter of
continuous and ceaseless striving. The
civic reformation will not be attained
If municipalities grow tired after
few years of earnest effort, as san
Francisco has grown tired. Leaders of
the cause of civic reformation, ike
the churches, spend too much time and
strength in fighting each other instead
of waging united warfare upon the
common enemy"

Unto the Niaht"

This is a southern tale OF unusual
interest. The writer, Miss Nimmo
Greene. is a charming Alabama school
teacher. who has long been known IN
the local press and to her friends as
welding a bright, facile, trenchant
pen. The book before us is her first
ambitious effort, and she can be con-
graduated on having produced story
which not only does not have dull
page from beginning to end, but Is a
remarkably faithful characterization OF
features of that peculiarly interesting
southern life now rapidly passing
Living not far from New Orleans, MISS
Greene has given special study to that
singularly composite and romantic CITY
and the reader will here find some or
it's most Characteristic scenes ana
types vlvidly set forth.
There is not the slightest pretenslon
to- high class literature, but neVerthe-
less, the book is a good, wholesome,
fascinating story of those striklngly
mixed conditions which are found no
where else, possessing the same inter-
est, as in New Orleans, and which as
vet have had only a limited portrayal
in the pages of imaginative literature.
The story opens with a brief pen pic
ture of that great river city on the
eventful March morning, more than a
decade ago, when in obedience to the
summons of leading men, a mass

education had carried out it's pledges
with the schools of Wilmington and
San Pedro and that the residents were
well satisfied.
Mr.. Scott assured the residents OF
Hollywood that the board of education
of Los Angeles would, in case of con-
soidation, carry out the plans OF the
present board of the grammar school
and the trustee board of the Hollywood
Union high school and would stand in
a position to accept any recommenda-
tion advanced by these boards. All
contracts entered into by these boards
would be carried out as well as though
the Los Angeles board had let them,
and that only first class teachers would
be sent to Hollywood.
John Law spoke of the work OF the
sewer committee of the board of trade,
Of which he was q member, and stated
that it was the finding of that COM
mittee that the best solution of the
sewer problem was consolidation with
Los Angeles. He said he had always
been in favor Of consolidation and
hoped that the matter would be car
ried through.
Dr. Palmer also spoke of the need or
a sewer system, and urged the resi-
dents to take the step as soon as pos
sible.

REVIEWS OF RECENT BOOKS

ing to an American than to know why
he is different from the English or any
other people, and the causes that have
made the American the energetic, en-
terprising man that he is In A. Maui
rice Lows forthcoming book on 1.-THE
American People" those reasons are
explained. The working of the Amer
lean mind is shown. To be told, for
instance, that American character has
been influenced by the Indian, or that
one reason why we are different from
Europeans is because of our "cold
waves" will be a surprise to most
Americans, yet this shows the careful
methods of the author in ascertaining
why the American mind is unlike that
Of any other people.
An interestingly written and beauti-
fully illustrated volume of travel is
"The Spell of Italy, by Caroline At
water Mason. Compound of fact and
fiction, the two lines of composition
meet and mingle so deftly as to leave
the reader at times wondering where
the one leaves off and the other begins.
The method OF narration and descrip-
ton is the casual one of the traveller,
and the writer does not scruple to un-
burden her views, and even her preju-
dices, as she touches upon one theme
after another, discreetly yelling them,
however, under the identity of her
principal characters. This air, half in
innate, half narrative, of the book, is
one of it's chief charms. Another is its
excellent series of illustrations.

An elaborate compilation of "Bev-
erages, Past and Present" is the not
inconsiderable task set himself by Ed
ward r. Emerson. Pleasant liquids,
both intoxicating and Notwithstanding.
are traced back to the peoples and
countries from which they have come
into international knowledge and use.
The drinking customs Of the ancient
Greeks, the banquets of the Romans,
the feasts of the Druids and Picts OF
Britain and the potations of African
and American savages, all find their
place in this fluid treasury. And in
the telling one gets interesting side
lights on the social life, customs ana
morals of the various races and nations
described.

meeting of the citizens was held at
Clay statue to take action on the mur-
der of Chief of Police Hennessey: and
then proceeds with almost startling
realism to set forth in detail the dram
attic, civic vengeance which in conse-
quence was meeted out to the infamous
Malta which had given that city such
an unenviable reputation. On this
terrible deed hangs the thread Of the
story
A typical, high-toned southern girl,
Helen Lawrence, under her fathers
strong influence, is unwilling longer to
receive her devoted and hitherto high
ly esteemed lover, a prominent young
lawyer, because he bore prominent
part in those awful scenes.
The further content of the book is
vivid description of the varied and
exciting experiences which these two
pas through in, order that the real
nobleness of her lover may be demon
strated to this girl, and that she may
really find herself, and know that deep
in her heart she really loves him bet
ter than all the world beside. Into
these experiences, enters in such an
active, mysterious and fascinating way,
as to make her the most striking and
unique personality of the story, Zoe, an
adopted sister of Helen Lawrence, who
is ultimately found to be of that mixed
or Creole race for which New Orleans
has been so noted.
The plot is sufficiently complex, and
so excellently handled that no reader
can unravel in advance the course of
the story, while the interest is main
tanned In all it's keenest to the very
last word
Externally, the book is a fine exam
ple of modern bookbinding, the type
being large and readable and we'll IL
lustrated.

Mr. Scott also spoke on the feeling in

who had opposed consolidation at the
election aud at the present day were
the corporation interests, and he ex-
why they were opposed to it,
With a municipal railroad, the freight
rates would be more reasonable and
the corporation control would be
