James Johns High Tuesday evening,
Mr. Uatto Is an artist. There was
not an instant of idle time from
stnrt to finish. lie is a bright,
strong, well groomed young fellow,
but iu his change to represent the
old men in his program, he seemed
to shrink several size and was the
ideal of the character he represent
ed. This was particularly true of
the Kpiscopal rector, with his holy
horror of the brutal font ball game.
He was back nt his Alma Mnter
on n visit to his son, who was a
crack player iu the hotly contested
game. There were but three min
utes more to play, the game stood 11
tie, his sou secured the ball and
was making the run of his life, the
strain was loo great for the dignity
of the cloth. I low he rooted for
his boy as he ilew toward the uoal.
bowling over his opponents ns they
attempted to tackle him, how Ills
heart seemed to stop as his sou went
down, mid how he was electrified
when he freed himself nnd wen
over the line, making n touchdown
winning the game, can be appre
ciated only by those who have
played the great game and realized
the thrilling experience of those
critical periods. The man of 60
became a boy again, dicuitv was
thrown to the winds, off came hli i
dinky little black hat and as he
jumped up and down upon It he
cheered for his boy who had won
tuc great game lor his Alma Mater
by his brilliant play. Mr. Katto's
Impersonation of the Irish Justice,
the .school boy mid uirl making
their first recitations, in fact, all his
program was particularly well pre
sented. All the paraphernalia was
on a table before the audience and
without removing a garment, as he
described the character he made up
the subject, and so successfully that
we believe his own mother would
have failed to recognize hint iu most
instances,
The entire course has proved an
unqualified success, and much np
p -eclated by the people of St. Johns.
Another course is being arranged
for the fall and winter season, which
Is claimed to be even better than
the one just closed.

Council Proceedings
All members were present nt the
regular meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening, with Mayor Muck
presiding.
The first matter to receive atten
tion was n petition for the improve
ment of Hurllngton street from
Ilradford to connect with the hard
surface improvement between
Hnyes and Ivnuhne, surface to be
of concrete. Some of the council
men believed that macadam would
be better than concrete for sidchill
improvement; others thought the
owners knew what they wanted.
A resolution directing the engineer
to prepare the necessary plans and
specifications for the improvement
ns per petition was finally adopted
unanimously.
Hills amounting to $244.51 were
allowed on motion of Alderman
Davis; nil yes.
The improvement of Tioga street,
between Central nvciute and Fes
senden street, was accepted by the
council.
Resolutions to improve South
Ivnnhoe and South Hnyes streets
were adopted, and the engineer di
rected to prepare the necessary data
for said improvements.
Ordinances providing for the pay
ment of excess cost of Columbia
boulevard and South Jersey street
from the geuernl fund were unan
imously passed.
Stephen Randolph was made cus
todian of the city dock nt n salary
of 1 10 a month.
Kdwnrd McLean was made gen
eral utility man with street insxjct
ing a specialty at n snlarv of $75
per mouth. Kd Is it good one.
IM. I.. Stockton .stated iu view of
the fact that the Review had re
duced the rate of city advertising
he would not press the bid of the
Telegrnm; iu fact believed the Re
view was entitled to the printing
since the rate was not exorbitant,
and lu view of the fact that it hail
done good work for St. Johns. Hu
believed lu home institutions re
ceiving home patronage, he said,
and recommended that the Review
continue to be the city official p
p -r, which It has been since Novem
ber 7,190.), when Councilman Mon
nhau ottered a resolution that it be
made the official pajer, and was
unanimously adopted, Severn! of
the couucilmen stated that the Re
view was cut tied to it, and none
made nny objection, and it was the
sense of the 1 ads that if the Reviuw
had never been legnlly made the
official paper it would be done at
the next meeting.
