entirely by Norway people, and included
readings by Mrs. DR.. BARTLETT, and must
cal selections and sketch from 1.-The
Birds Christmas Carol" showing how

Great luck the Universalist Good
Cheer Society has in the line OF weather
for its suppers this winter. Last Tues

as could have been, with the heavy snow
storm in progress, nevertheless enough

we're filed. After the supper there was a
concert BY the Lumley Castle Band, and
the boys came in for good number OF
compliments. as they always do. Miss
Doris gilbert also sang.

mile and half and back TO see the sight,
including Democrat reporter who Tor
once had the luck 10 be somewhere near
when what Henry Watterson-said broke
lOOse-but didn't have his camera. But
the boys, You may just bet that boy
was the first one 10 reach the scene, aud
then they swarmed. Lots of them not
only went down az quick as they could
get there, but spent fraction of the
night watching the wreckers work.

The telephone cable Is now strung
from Norway to Market Square, and th'
crew are going on down Main Stree
across the river with il. The splicing II
not yet done, and as there are a pumb"
dsplices to be made, IL must be- quite

joined. The whole job is quite an ex
pensive piece of work, but will make al
Improvement in the system. Incidental

tainment for the sidewalk audience
though the weather has been rathe
strenuous part of the time, for both line
men and spectators.
Really, "The Deacou's Second Wife,

eoy students II the high school for IN
benefit of the Athletic Association, de
served better patronage than II got
while there was fair house Frida

was small. As advertised in the bills
there is no melodrama about this play
IT'S pure light comedy, not necesssril
running much into that form OF bur

well within the compass of good ams
tours capacity, and the effect 10 not II

exceedingly well carried, PARTICULAR
