The recent public temperance de-
bate in Milwaukee between Mayor
Rose Of that city and DR.. Samuel
Dickie, president of Albion College
Michigan, drew an audience that
crowded the hall in which the de-
bate was given, and many thousands
of people failed to gain admittance.
This was partly due to the prom
inence of the speakers, to their well
known eloquence and to their
familiarity with the subject. In all
this it was battle of giants. But
unquestionably the interest was
mainly due to the foremost position
which the temperance question has
assumed throughout the country
and which has led to many nota bile
temperance victories, especially in
the South and West.

The decision of the anthracite
miners not to strike gives feeling
of relief to the whole country which
wildly remembers the great strike
of seven years ago and of the great
loss which resulted to the public.
Without commenting upon the
merits of the case, concerning which
there is naturally a sharp difference
of opinion, it occurs to nearly every
one who does not belong to the con-
tending parties that some way
should be found to amicablv and
honorably settle trade disputes as
they arise. War, whether between
nations, or between capital and
labor. may sometimes be justified :,
but not until every other plan of
settlement is tried.

When Colonel Roosevelt went to
Africa he took with him two of the
new electric sighted rifles" which
a man named Leary has just invent
ed. These rifles have two tiny
electric lights, opposite the front
and rear sights of the rifle respec-
lively, and shaded from the marks
mans eyes, and they are operated
by small battery in the gunstock.
Much of the shooting in Africa will
have to be done at night, by moon
light, and it is expected that the
lighting of the sights in this way
will greatly facilitate good marks
manship.

THE MARGARET ALLEN
 COMMENCEMENT AND PLAY.

Saturday evening the pupils of the Latin class of the Margaret Allen school presented the classic drama Dido" in a clever manner. There were many friends of the young ladies in the auditorium at the school. The stage setting was lovely. The cos tuning beautiful. For girls to attempt play so difficult is much to tn cir credit, and to put it on in a really finished manner was more.
 Many in the audience recalled the old story al told In Virgirs Aenid: For ten years the Greeks had besieged Troy, and on the tenth they took and utter ly destroyed that ancient city. The inhabitants who had escaped captivity and the sword, wandered in exile in many quarters of the earth. Now, the chief band of exiles was led by Aeneas, son of Venus and Anchises, son-in la VI of Prlam, King of Troy. After many adventures on land and sea, Aeneas came, in the sixth year of Sicily, where he was kindly enter tained of Acestes, king of that land, and where his aged father died and was buried. Thence setting sail In the summer of the seventh year, he ap- preached the shores of Africa Here violent storm arose which scattered and all but destroyed the Trojan ships. Aeneas with a number of his compan- ions was cast upon a desert coast, where they passed the night in gloomy forebodings. In the early morning Aeneas and Achates set forth to ex- plore the land, and came to the newly founded city of Carthage.
 Now Phoenician Dido also, with a band of exiles, had fled from her native Tyre, to escape the prosecutions of her brother, Pygmalion, who had already slain Sychaeus, her husband. And to the land of Africa had she come and built her city, even the city of Car thage.
 And so these two, Aeneas, Prince of Troy, and Dido fugitive from Tyre, now meet in distant Africa and live the tragedy which fate held in store for them"
 The memory work of Miss Mayo Thach, who took the part of Dido was remarkable, the lines being difficult and long. She remembered them per- fectly, not hesitating a moment in any part of the role. Miss Mary Lou Cobb who represented Aeneas, was also clever and did her part with credit. Miss Lucie Pinkard showed marked histrionic ability. Her voice Is un- usual In its carrying quality. It is both deep and rich. Although her lines were shorter and less difficult than the other two, she was ease and grace itself, looking as much at home as a veteran of the stage.
 The programm in its entirety was as follows, and reflected credit upon teacher and pupil alike:

"She Stoops to Conquer" the play presented, proved even more of a , success than was expected.
