RECITAL PLEASES ALL
The Misses Henry Charm A Large
Crowd at Episcopal Church.

Services at st. James Episcopal
church, with the exception of Sunday
school, have been suspended for four
weeks, and the rector, Rev. Thomas
Horton will spend his vacation at
Spirit Lake. Sunday school will con-
tinue at the regular hour, $3.50 a. m.
The closing services on Sunday even
ing were made memorable by the
presence of Misses Bertha and Mar
tina Henry, who rendered a most en-.
chanting musical program. Miss Ber-
tina Henry is just home from New
York where she is studying music
and her renditions on the pipe organ
were masterpieces of beauty and
harmony. Miss Martha Henrys solos
were charming and won her renewed
favor in the good graces of all who
heard her. The church was packed
and the overflow into the Guild Hall
more than half filled that large loom.
It was one of the largest crowds ever
assembled at st. James, and a gen.
erous compliment to the talents of
these two gifted sisters.

affairs in his own hands. He made
a short cut through the woods, inter

return of the property taken from
his camp. He backed up his de.

PAVED FOR THIRD time
High Avenue West Has Been I'm
proved Twice Before.

Anent the repaving of High ave-
nue., the new work brings to mind
Of old time citizens and property
owners that the block between Mar
ket and A street has been paved
twice before this.
The first time the block was I'M
proved was in 1882 when Peter Mel
son was paid $2,553.29, principal and
interest, for the macadamizing of
the first block OF High avenue west
and the cost $3.50 per yard was
taxed to the property benefited.
This was in the administration of
Mayor J. J. Phillips when Porter
Hedge was city clerk and Ed Fitz-
gerald street commissioner. William
Nash and DR.. J. l.. Coffin were coun-
Gil members from the First ward;
Isiah Frankel and r. J. Blackstone
from the second; H. c. Moore and J.
w. McMullin from the Third and
William Mattison and A M. Abra.
ham from the Fourth. We had no
Fifth ward that date.
On July Is; 1889, appears a minute
of the action of the council proceed
ings in the official record: THE
council as a body repaired to the
pavement on High street and in.
spected the same. Moved by coun.
Gilman Coffin that the work on pave.
ment be accepted and warrants
drawn in payment Mr. Blackstone
moved to amend by adding to the
motion after the word accepted"
latter the pounding or rolling of the
sand as contemplated in the contract
be, done" Carried. All voting aye.
The contract for the work was
signed by Mr.. Nelson, March 7, 1882.
Prior to this time the street had
been improved to some extent by the
construction of stone cutters not
less than six feet wide,-stone to be
not less than six inches thick and in
center of gutter to be one foot thick"
When the pavement of 1893 was
put down the grade of the macadam-
lied block was found to so nearly
conform with that of the brick work
that when the brick was laid much
of the old stone was left and is in
the street to this date. Some of this
must be removed this time however
when the concrete base is placed.
The 1914 contract will make the
fourth improvement for the block.
