To the Cast of "The Merry MiIkmaidsG
An Appreciation.

Now that the Thanksgiving Operetta
lis an accomplished feat and the par
ticipants have resumed the even
tenor of their way, the Ladies Guild
of st. Johns Episcopal church wish
to heartily thank the cast, collectively
and Individually for their services and
patient response to rehearsal calls
Twas indeed a generous, kindly
act to give so much time and effort,
without thought of recompense. to-
wards an enterprise swelling our rec
tory fund and to each of you is ex-
tended our heartfelt gratitude. To
the male chorus and lovely milkmaids,
on whom the most firing practice fell,
lis accorded Instituted praise The
splendid voices of the farmers aided
and abetted by the sweet pink and
white maids appealed strongly to
'on's senses of sight and sound
Misses Fern Fluke, Jennie Gunter,
Alice Talmage, Martha Roper and
Hilda Gatewood in solo and duet work
contributed much to the beauty and
tunefulness of the scenes and the
jolly Farmers -ames Haynes and
Ivan King covered themselves with
glory in their laughable stunt
Mr. Chas E. Hoole as the Judge,
carried his part with ease, and his
Iuncommonly good bass voice was a
pleasure to hear One of the most diff
cult characters, that of Farmer Jim,
was rendered by Mr. y. D. Hancock
| in a splendid manner The proposal
scene was one of the choice bits of
the play
When Mother, Monica the fortune
teller appeared and one read that
Miss Nettie Higgins had the part one
knew beforehand how good it would
be. Her costume and beautiful con
tralto voice made the Indian prophe-
cies exceedingly thrifty
The doctor. Mr. c. G. Clark, the
commodore Mr. Gaylord y Bebout,
the queen. Mrs. Gaylord \. Bebout,
Dorothy. Mrs. Addis Brown and the
pianist. Miss Zola Clark have had
such full measure of praise that
one would not attempt to recount the
many compliments they deservedly re-
ceived
The sixteen little girls IN fault
ilassly executed drill made a dainty
scene and the bridal procession, head
i ed by four dear little flower girls
Adeline stephens, Laura Belle Nc.
Cduce, Louie Nidiner and --- Run.
yam We're exclaimed over and admired
by everyone in the house.
The matchless voice fthe queen
was a revelation and delight to al
and the perfect acting of Dorothy oa-
haneed by the adorably sweet picture
she made as the bride in the grand
finale will not soon be forgotten.
To each of these mentioned W. wish
TO say thank you. very very mucl for
your assistance.

OPEN CONGRESS

Job Hunters And Lobbyists Fill Wash

cratic Politicians Are Busy.

/ Washington, Dec. 2.-The stage as
| it is set for the opening of congress at
/ noon today is marked by the presence
of an army of oficeseekers and an
Unusual foregathering of loyyists.
/ Democratic members of the house and
senate are beset with applicants for

men are thick as flies Men are here
willing to take anything fro ma cabi-
net place to a postofIice.
As for the lobbyists, they are mobi-
llizing TO bring pressure to bear on the
leaders TO go slow on the tariff, on
the trusts, and take a safe and sane
course. When the hearings on tariff
before the ways and means committee
begin, a little later on, the special
pleaders on tariff schedules will
swarm to the capitol as they have not
done since the days of the Payne
measure o. 1909.

about reorganiziug. But most of the
republican leaders say frankly little
can be done about it now; that it is
too early; that the rough edges of
bitterness are not yet worn off. Mean
time, to make the progressives more
rancorous toward the old guard and
the old guard more rancorous toward
the progressives, President Taft is
taking an occasional crack at the
head of progressive in office or ap-
pointing a standpatter distasteful to
the progressive wing Of the party.
A recent typical case of the way the
republican party is being "reorga.
nized" is seen in the appointment of
NJ s. Mcfarland, an old guard politi-
clan, as postmaster at Marshalltown,
Ia, over the head of Representative
Good, who had recommended pro.
gressiye against the wishes of the
senators from Iowa.
Many Eager to See Wilson.
Because this case is deemed typical
of the White House policy for the
rest of the winter, it has stirred Up
feeling on the part of the progressive
wing of the party in Iowa and even
outside of the state.
Many of the democratic leaders
eagerly are waiting the return Of Gov
ernor Wilson fro mthe Bermudas. il
order that they may confer with him
and find out what he wants after
March A. Until such conferences are
held and until Representative Under
wood house leader, and other leaders
have seen the presidentelect, and
have found what he has in mind, plans
on the part of the democrts, so far as
large legislative matters go, will be
tentative and indefinite.

300 CROWS DRUNK
Flying Away From Brewery Fall

Tarrytown, n. Y, March 16.-Mem-
bers of the Ardsley Club have seen
many things in the air, but the sight OF
300 drunken crows trying to fly away
this afternoon from brewery dock
near by was the most unusual
The brewery company's automobiles
had returned with hundreds of empty
beer kegs, finishing the weeks bust
ness when the crows swooped dow
and began to imbibe. The antics wert
most amusing Many crows fell on tn,
ice in the river to sleep off the jag. Al
the Ardsley dock flock of about co.
wild ducks were flying, waiting fo'
the crows.
People who saw the ducks and crows
come up the river say that as soon a.
the crows saw the beer barrels they
deserted the ducks. The ducks flew
around the Ardsley dock for an hour
and when they saw the helplessness o
the crows they continued on up tn,

BEGIN TODAY
At N. {. Church
DR.. MORRISON IN CHARGE
Indications are For Most
Helpful Services

Today will mark the beginning OF
the revival services to be held at the
First Methodist church, which will
be conducted by DR.. H. C. Morrison,
of Louisville, KY, assisted by Rev. o.
b. Chester, the pastor. DR.. Morri-
son will preach at both the morning
and evening services today.
During each day this week services
will be held at 945 o'clock in the
morning and at 1870 o'clock in the
evening. The services will in all
probability be prolonged throughout
another week, though more definite
announcement concerning this will be
given later. AS today is Home Mis-
sions Day, envelopes for the annual
offering for this cause will also be
returned.
The series of services that will be-
gin today have been looked forward
to for some time by both the pastor
and the members of the congregation
and the pastor earnestly requests all
the members of the church to lay
aside other things as far as is posi-
Bile and to devote themselves to the
meetings. DR.. Morrison will likely be
heard by large congregations today
and throughout the week.
