HOME TALENTER'S PICNIC
 AT ROBINSON HEIGHTS

MT. and Mrs. Robinson enter. talned the members of the casts for the two home talent entertainments together with the members of the Orchestra with hill side picnic at their residence last Monday evening. A very enjoyable time, with sing ing, hill climbing, eats and music, was had.
 The evenings music was begun in the parlor, with popular airs sung by a chorus composed of all the guests who could be induced to lend a voice. Later the guests repaired to the hillside back of the house, for refreshments. These consisted of hot rolls, sandwiches, baked beanes, salad, coffee, olives and pickles, as a first course follow ed by ice cream and cake.
 Many of the guests next climbed lhe hlll Tor vlew of the lighted town and the surrounding country at dusk. The view gotten from Robinson Heights at this time is one that tho seen a hundred times is ostlll refreshing and new.
 When assembled again in the yard, the other guests drafted the 'mlnstrels into service and secnred . complete rehersal of the music given at the Sultana. All joined in on the chorus. In the meantime, Miss Buggeln at the piano and J. R. Scantlin with the drums, kept the air charged with melody within the house.
 Later the Barnes Orchestra awoke to life and the other music was lulleo With common deference to thelr harmonies. Once started the appreciative guests would not per init the Orchestra more than q pause till the midnight hour. Each departing guest voted the occasion decided success.

HOME TALENT PLAY
 RIVALS MINISTRIES
My Friend from India, Proves Second Great Success of Season, Greeted by Crowd ed House

The Home Talent play, My Friend from India" given at the Sultana Theatre, last Friday night, ranks in successfulness, along with the Gate City Minstrels, generally declared the scream of the season up to that time. Some declare the play the better of the two and others give the Minstrels first rank. All declare the play a great success.
 The farce itsesf is full of humor and interesting, and each actor fill ed his or her part with a degree of proficiency not usually met with in home talent productions. The production was proof of hard work, natural talent on the part of those participating and exceptional inter- pretative and directing ability on the part of Miss Heating. Withal. it well merited the large audience that greeted it. The music furnish ed by the Barnes Orchestra was of the same high order that the Williams public has come to expect as a matter of course from MT. Barnes Musicians.
 From a financial standpoint, the play, like the Minstrels, was com plete success, netting the Woman's club good sum. The Williams public has the satisfaction of know ing that while contributing to a good cause, it received full value from the entertainment alone. The spirit of those who gave generously of their time and energy in order to make the play success is par ticularly praiseworthy.

AERIAL BOMBARDMENT
Of Venice, Italy, Makes
 It's History Interesting.

What was the origin of this mysterious city? How came it. thus to be founded within the. sea?' The wonder is easily ex- plained. In the fifth century af- ter Christ, when the old Roman Empire had well-nigh peris he'd under the deadly inroads of bar.
 barians, another devistating army entered Italy, led by man who was regarded as the "Scourge of God''. This man was Attila the Hun. Such was the ruin left be- hind him that he could boast with truth that the grass grew not where his horse had trod.,
 A few men seeking to escape, this vandal, fled to group of uninhabited islands in the Adria- tic. Exiled from land they threw themselves in desperation on the. sea.
 But no one can behold this ocean-city without perceiving that those exiles were rewarded for their courage. The sea be- came their mother their alvin ity. She sheltered them with her encircling. waves. She nour- ished them from her abundant life. She forced them to build boats in which to transport mer- chandise from land to land. And they, obeying her, grew from a feeble colony of refugees to be a powerful republic, and made their city nucleus for vast wealth and commerce a swing ing door between the orient and occident, through which there ebbed and flowed for centuries a tide of golden wealth of which her glorious sunsets seemed but the reflection.
 The above is quoted from the Stoddard Lectures of Travel which have done so much to. make all parts of the world fa- miliar to the American newspa- per and magazine reading public.
 There are forty lectures all told illustrated with four-thousand eight hundred photographic en- cravings and twenty-six of thet ectures are on countries now at var.
 Any one who reads Stoddard's Lectures carefully, feels that he has been there" and reads and alks correspondingly familiarly-

DEMOCRAT ASSA|LS
HIS PARTY'S TARIFF
Congressman Whitacre, of Ohio,
Supports Mann's Proposal
for Creation Of Tariff Board.

Criticism of the Democratic tariff from
the Democratic camp has finally been
heard in the House, and Republicans
made no attempt to conceal their exul-
tation over the spectacle. Congressman
John ]. Whitacre, an Ohio Democrat,
who insurges now and then. took the
floor late yesterday and supported the
proposal Of Minority Leader Mann for
the creation of a tariff board.
Mr.. Whitacre's speech was one Of gen.
tie reproof for his Democratic brethren.
He said the Democrats had promised not
TO injure industry. but were unable to
prove that their tariff bill had not
caused business depression. A tariff
board. he said. would settle the justice
Of the rates.
Tho Ohio member wanted an audience
before the Ways and Means Committee
to discuss the inequalities Of the tariff,
but as the committee did not seem in
clined to hear him, Mr.. Whitacre un-
eurdened himself in the House proper
The only item in the tariff bill which
the Democrats can prove has not proved
Injurious to business is that relating to
impartial investigation has shown that
the East Liverpool potteries were not
injured by the reduction, but I cannot
go into other sections Of my State and
demonstrate that industry has not been
injured. I could not prove the Demo-
cratic case to idle workingmen.
The only reason I can defend the pot
fery schedule Is that the books Of East
Liverpool and England manufacturers
were thrown open and our pottertes
concede they were not hurt"
