Public Ncliool Exhibition.
The exhibition last Friday evening
drew an immense crowd of friends and
patrons of the school to the Opera
house. I he exercises opened with a
“Song of welcome” by the school. The
programme was then followed out with
few exceptions. Elon Wallace has a
good voice and did well in his recita­
tion entitled “Recollections.” Maud
ashburne was the sweetest little
“Milk maid” we ever saw. Lester
Daniels won hearty applause from the
audience for declaiming so well. Hu­
bert Toney, Pearl Kirkwood, Minnie
Howell, Dotha Daniels and Lizzie
Jaehn did excellently. The instru­
mental duett by Priscilla and Chas.
Galloway was well executed, and they
were also heartily applauded. Maud
Randall, Irene Rummell, Laura Miller,
Ambie Wright and Lizzie Cline recited
nicely. Ray Satchwell could not have
done better in his recitation entitled
“What is a minority.” Forest Narver
has a good voice and could be heard
distinctly all over the hall. Cyntitha
Fellows always does well, but last even­
ing she really excelled all former ef­
forts in rendering the recitation enti­
tled “Would you?” The quartet by
Meadames Campbell and Tucker,
Messrs. Rogers and Price was greatly
enjoyed. We are sorry we could not
learn the names of the four little girls
that spoke “In the morning.” “The
little Philosophers” was splendid.
These little girls have good voices, and
surprised all present by doing more
than well. In the song, “Our Baby”
the alto singing by little Florence
Hamnett was beautiful. She possesses
a wonderful voice for one so young.
The dialogue of Ralph Story and Wirt
Gardner was received and created lots
of fun. Ina Gooper and Graeie Stuart
in their recitations did splendidly, and
their many friends have just reason to
be proud of them. Cora Baker has a
sweet voice’ and Eva Baxter was inde­
pendent to perfection. In “Jar ley’s
wax works,” Mrs. Jarley was repre­
sented by Miss Mary Clemmins ; Chi­
nese giant, Morris Sweet; Welsh
Dwarf, Graeie Stuart; Martha Bangs,
Lizzie Cline; Mrs. S. A. Winslow,
Cyntitha Fellows; Blue Beard, Hallie
Powell; Lord Ryron, John Manee:
Capt. Kidd, Walter Baker ; Lady Blou-
sabella, Eva Baxter; Mermaid, Ola
Burt; The Boy stood on the burning
deck, Forest Narver; The sleeping
Beauty, Josie Gardner; Siamese Twins
Perry Leabo and Xerxes Gant. All
sustained their characters well. Katie
Gorman as “Little Nell” deserves
much credit and praiae. Little Helen
Calbreath won the heart of every one
present. The dialogue entitled “We
are four” reflects great credit on tho*e
little girls. The song “Now we are
happy children” was very good. The
dialogue entitled “That naughty boy,"
Daisy Young as Widow Blinker, Sam-
mie Symons as Cyrus, her naughty
boy, and so he was, Nora Cooper as
Sally Hascom, and Nellie Gardner as
Kitty.was greeted with merry laughter.
Mr. John Knight then favored the au­
dience with a song and as he so capti­
vated ’urn all," he was not allowed to
rest until he recited in the most comi­
cal manner, "My Mother-in-law.” The
dialogue, “Mrs. Jonas Jones, wm very
interesting. Charles Hodson, aa JonM
Jones, gave the young men present
some good advice. Cora Baker made
a bewitching bride. Anna Bynum a
good mother-in-law, ami Geo. Clark
Mr. Over Due, did well. Ralph Brown
being a minister just suited him. “Kit­
ty s Funeral brought down the house.
Gertie Pond has a clear good voice,
and Graeie Stuart, as the orator, was
too funny for anything The following
girl- composed the funeral procession.
Lena Baker, Inez Eccleston, Georgia
Storey, l.ela Vanatta, Lillie Adams,
and Ambie Wright. “Good Night” was
then sung by the school. It is next to
impossible to do full justice to all. The A Grand Hall will be given under th* au*-
pioea of the McMinnville Fire l>e-
entertainment was a success in every
ptirlnisnt, at
respect, and our people should be
proud of it.
FIREMEN S
The Northren Pacific directory is a
trifle late in its proposition for a “joint
lease.”
Many perished in the late atorma on
the northwestern lakes. It wtt the
fiercest gale on record.
Just because people neglect to keep
run of their business property holders
in Portland paid for dressing the
streets with rotten rock, which was
ground up into dust and carted off
at another ex (tense.
That mule colt owned by Henry
Gee, which made such a fine appear­
ance in the horse show procession iu
this city last summer is getting to be
a big mule now.
Henry says the
next time the colt comes to town he
will wear a harness, and help pull the
load.
The French chamber of deputies
take the liberty of enlightening the
world that the have decided in favor
of the bill raising duty on foreign
wheat from 3 to 5 francs. This is in
line with the protectionist policy
which is just now in favor there.
Whatever else our French friends in­
tend that liberty should mean, this
certainly does not include commercial
liberty between the two countries.
American pork products having been
boycotted, it is now the turn of wheat
and corn. Our western fanner will
be unable to appreciate the compli­
ment.
The Annals of Hygiene says that
well water in such cities should never
be used ; but what can we do to help
ourselves in this place at present?
lx>t us remember that a well will
drain an area with a diameter equal
to twice its depth. Therefore, a well
twelve feet deep will drain an area
the diameter of which is twenty-four
feet; that is to say that it will drain
the surrounding soil for twelve feet in
direction. Obviously, then, the privy
should be more than the depth of the
well away from it, and more than this
again if it is proposed to place it on a
higher level, which, however, should
never he done. The well should be
lined inside thoroughly with mortar
so that percolation cannot occur be­
tween the crevices of the bricks, and
it should lie well covered, so that sur­
face drainage cannot get into it, for
you want to drink the water that has
come into the well from the bottom,
after it has been purified by filtration
through the earth.
