Where all parts were SO well rendered
it is hard to Single out any individual
members but especial credit is to be
given to the work of the boys in the
Boys Glce club, although perhaps not
the. equal in technical skill of the girls
solo and glee parts. But for visor and
clcarness of execution and quality of
tone the boys work was certainly un-
usual-the more so that the boys of
the high school as whole have hitherto
not taken any very active interest in
musical matters. Another feature
worthy of especial note was the play
in. of the high school orchetra, now u
strong, enthusiastic organization.
Great credit is to be given Miss Pit
cher for her enthusiastic, faithful
work with these organizations and for
her power of inspiring the students to
their best This WAS very pleasinglv
recognized by the chorus when they
presented Miss Pitcher with magnifi
cent basket of roses.

Up-tO-Date Street Lighting System to
Be Inaugurated There

New Tim Journal: The White Way
on Mmnesu;S street. extending from
Fourth North street TO Second South
street. a distance OF six blocks, is now
an assured certainty. There has been
Il ready response on the part of the
business men and public spirited citi-
zens. The sum of S., 1870 was subscrib
ed up to yesterday noon and quite a
number are vet TO be seen.
The total cost Of installing the
."W hite Way" will be approximately
$1,000 or about $ll3.G3 for each stand
ard. The contract for the iron stand
ards has been practically let to the
Flour City Ornamental Iron Works, of
Minneapolis, who agree TO furnish forty
four posts, without, the fixtures, at
$5j apiece. f. o. b. Minneapolis, which
will bring the cost Of the posts delI-cs-
ed here to $500 The five globes
will cost from So to 81 for each post
and with the concrete foundations will
add another 1000 to the cost. In
addition thereto the wiring, which will
be in cables and iron tubes, will cost
approximately $500, which amount
is to be borne by the city.
This Corinthian standard has become
famous for its effect in street Lighting
and is making American cities rival
those of Europe for beauty.
The ornamental castings to make up
the parts are produced from the best
grade of pig iron and made by expert
moudcrs. The modelling is Corlnthian
in design throughout and shows, when
assembled, correct proportions, dignity,
and elegance not heretofore obtained IN
street lamps.
These standards are placed - TO
100 feet apart on both sides of a
street They are II feet high and are
fitted with five l0O-Watt Tungsten
lights. Each standard has 40O-candle
power. This gives the street bright
even light throughout its entire length
by night. And by day the ornamental
standards give a street a unit of dec
Grafton which is unsurpassed for dig
nifty and architectural refinement
The Corinthian standard is ROW used
in Minneapolis, Duluth. Fargo Winni-
peg, Savannah. and many other cities.
Mankato should adopt this up-to date
system of lighting.

boys a few years ago for doing that
