A REAL SUCCESS

In commenting upon the efforts of To-
cal talent it is generally expected that
only favorable things should be said of
those who take part. This is as it should
be. We are so far away from the big
theatrical centers that our people. as a
rule, have little opportunity to see and
study the best that the stage offers. In
reporting the entertainment given last
night at Viyier's opera house for the
benefit of the organ fund OF the Sacred
Heart Church, however, it may be said
truthfuliy that every number was not
only entertaining, but very capably pre-
scented. The work of all was cOnsclen-
tons and the effect throughout was far
above the average amateur performance.
The seXtet from "FlOrOdora," sung
by six pretty maidens and as many hand
some boys. was very well presented. The
Young ladies in pink costumes and large
black hats and the young men i'll dress
suits and silk hats, were very attractive
indeed. They sang the popular selection
very well indeed, and received several
encorcs, to which they responded.
The French Milliner' was really good.
It was amusing in the extreme. Mrs. Mac
manus as Mdlle. MOdiSte portrayed the
part with unusual talent. Mrs. Martin
Besteiro as Frau Casino Katzenjammer
put all the fun into the part that its
author could possibly have imagined.
Her makeup was immense. Miss Marie
Starck as Miss Wright did exceptionally
well and Miss Wells was the perfect
lady" as Miss Frivol. Miss Craig as Mrs.
Astorbilt gave 4 very clever intcrpreta
ton of the frozen dignity Of the society
'~milliOnaireSS.'
Joe P~utegnat sang the Red Sox Speed
Boys in character. He sang it well and
was encored heartily.
Riding in the Street Car" Sung by
two little girls III costume, the latter
being made up very effectively as a boy,
was a catchy little duet which was
greatly enjoyed.
Miss Irene Rose Putegnat's sweet con
tralto voice was heard to advantage III
"A Perfect Day" which she sang un
usually well and with much expression.
The barcaroIc from les Contes de

was sung by a number of ladies. who
rendered this difficult and beautiful com
position with excellent effect.
Mrs A. :. Puteonat at the piano and

er.
Many have spoken of the high quail
ity of the program and music of the
choir last Sunday evening. which
goes to show that applied Christianity
is the most interesting of topics.
This was also the verdict Of the men
Of the Brotherhood class organized
for the study of social problems and
how to cure them. which met for the
first time Sunday. Gibbon names
eleven sins which destroyed the !, Ro-
man Empire. Christianity has cured
eight of them. The three remaining
unsoiyed are: poverty, intemperance
and the social evil. There is large
school of thinkers who say that power
ty is the real cause of the latter two
sins. Is it? Can poverty be cured ?
Whose fault Is it that poverty exists ?
What evils does it cause? Is the
state obliged to give work to every
man out Of a job? Will the minimum
wage solve the problem?
That there is problem is evident
from the fact that there are ten mill
lion people living below the poverty
line in the United States; that ten
per cent of the burials in New York
City are paupers; and that fifteen per
cent to twenty per cent of the people
of New York have to apply for and
during the year.
Poverty will be the subject for dis
cussion next Sunday. The discussion
will be lead by Prof. r. w. Davies.
Every man present is supposed to
take part in these discussions. The
man who wants to come in contact
with real live. practical religion will
find it in this class. Every member
is ''Iive wire" Every man who
is not engaged elsewhere between th e
hours of twelve and one will be well
ccmed every Sunday at this class. The
class meets in its own room at the
Congregational church.

"A Avoiding:
Tour

BY a Pickbocket
By HELENA G. ToWNE

Miss Pulver was rather young to
marry any one, but George Guernsey
was a steady fellow and, though bare
ly of age, gave promise Of making her
an excellent husband. Indeed, so much
confidence did Myra's parents have in
him that they were perfectly willing
their daughter should marry him at
once. Perhaps the fact that her father
was an invalid without expectation of
living much longer had something to
do with it. He desired that she should
be provided for during his lifetime.
But though George was devoted to
her, though In all gatherings Of young
people In which they were present they
paired together, though 1t was con-
sidered among their friends that they
were spoons" they were not engaged.
Myra could not be induced to speak
the final word.
Myra having been invited to visit a
friend in another city, George offered
to be her escort on the journey thlther.
A day or two before their departure
he said to his chnm, Charley Brown:

eve tried that, and it didn't work"
On the day of Georges and Myra's
departure as they entered the station
Myra was surprised to see dozen of
her friends congregated to bid her
goodby. They ran up to her and were
very .demonstrative in their salutation.
What surprise" she exclaimed,
land how kind of you all, especially
since Pm going to be absent only for a
week."
"Oh, we thought" said one, that
you were going to leave us altogether.
Some one said you were going to live
in another state"
"AnOther stated What State?''
1.-THE state of Name
Then they all laughed, and Myra
looked puzzled.
The young couple got into the train,
and George put up window, through
which Myra could continue to chat
with her friends. It was merry party
and attracted the attention OF those in
the car. When the train moved out
the shoe and rice throwing began and
continued till the objects of the demon
stration were well on their way.
This plainly indicated to the other
passengers that they had bride and
groom aboard, and greater interest
was excited from the fact that the cou-
pie were so young. Myra could have
passed for fifteen, and Georges beard
was slow in coming. There is nothing
prettier than young couple scarcely
