Normal School Notes

"Maids and Matrons" was presented
Tuesday evening, Mar. IS. to crowded
house, realizing the Senior class, which
gave the play, S75. The play was novel,
entertaining and instructive and given in
an artistic manner throughout. 1t showed
the result of hard work, each one fitting
her part admirably and acting her part
easily, gracefully and naturally. Among
the attractive pictures the play presented
were the picnic scene in the open woods
and the ball room scene, where the court
minuet was danced, the dancers looking
very pretty in their satin gowns. The
coiffures, costumes and make-ups were
all beautiful and true to the period they
represented. Misses Bates, Braley, Bart
lett, Flint and Farnsworth deserve special
mention for the ability they showed in
acting their respective parts.
Mr.. Burnham was presented with a
beautiful brass clock and Waterman foun-
tain pen by the cast as an expression of
for his help in drilling and
staging the play.

TO be required to put all their pre-

Coroner Taylor thought this remedy
worse than the evil, for the physicians
would not obey the law, and said that
the remedy would be to let druggists
