JUNIOR CONTEST LAST NIOHT. Misses Oenevs Millirsn, Adda My trs and Jennie McOaw Won the Prise. For the eighth time tbe junior class of the Reynoldsvl.le high school met In annual elocut ionary contest In Assembly hall last night. In many respects It was the counterpart of all that have been before, tho one notablo thing being the absence of boys from the contestants, the class consisting of six girls. In point of excellence the program was equal lo many of the past contests, but tbo audience was not quite as large as usual. The Judges were singularly unanimous In choosing tho winners, and their de cision secured the hearty applause of the audience. But had there been six prizes to award Instead of three, the audience would have apprevod more earnestly still. The contestants were thoroughly trained and each strove hard to excel, In which they wore so successful that bad the judges not settled the case many would have boon puzzled to know which were the best. Besides the opening and closing num bers by the Reynoldsvllle Orchestra, two solos of exceptional merit enlivened tho program. Miss Annallalgh, a tal ented violinist of DuBois, renderod a fantasia from Dancla with exquisite skill and was encored loudly for a sec ond number, which she gave. Reyn oldsvllle people have rarely llstoned to a more thorough master ef the violin. Will F. Herpel also sang a solo entitled "A Dream of Paradise.'' The contestants and their subjocts were as follows : Miss Amy V. Bolling er, "Mistress Sborwood's Victory," a tale of tbe English rebellion! Miss Jennie E. McGaw, "Sklmpscy," a thrill ing sketch of the raco track; Miss Cora B. McCrclght, "Little Chrlstel," a child's apt reply to a king and Its effect; Miss Dense M. Sensor, "The Drummer Boy," the well known story of the Na poleonic Marshal Macdonald's rescue of a little companion In the Alps; Miss Geneva G. MUUren, "Tbe Hundred and Onetb Stitch," a tale of childish rebel lion and forgiveness ; Miss Adda M. Myers, "Noll's Journoy," another tale of childhood In which pathos played a powerful part. Prof. J. H. Alleman, Rev. C. H. Fltz wllllams and Prof. A. J. Hamilton acted as judges. Rev. Fttzwilliams, of Punx sutawney, who announced the decision, prefaced the award by some highly complimentary remarks In regard to the present contest and to Reynolds vllle's elocutionary ability In compar ison with other county school. Tben camo the award : First prlzo, a gold modal, to Miss Genova G. Milllren. Second prize, a silver medal, to Miss Adda M. Myers, Third prize, a copy of Holmos' poems, to Miss Jennlo E. McGaw.

IlecniiFo Main street, from Iron brldgo to Seventh st., was once paved, even though that paving was plunk, t ho property owners are not compelled to pave, oven If tho majority of proerty owners along that portion of the street proposed to bo puved do sl(n tho petition for the pnvlng.

A good sized audience attended tho presentation of "The Merchant of Venice" In Assembly hall Friday eve ning lnut, and were Woll repaid for their time. To present Shakespeare at all Is a task worthy of professional artists, but when It I attempted by amateur and so successfully accom plished as It was by tho 'Emerson Lyceum, a doublo share of praise Is due. The slntely action of the drama is not tho easiest to portray, and the piny could bo appreciated to the full only by those familiar with the clusslo lines of Hlmkespeare. Hut all could appreciate tho rich cimtnmcs and tho genuine talent of thoso who took part. Without exception they acquitted themselves with honor, not a single hitch occurring to mar the program. Ksieclally worthy of note were the characters of Shylock, llassatilo and Portia. The appearance of the sliigo hud been transformed by special scenery. After the play n farce, "Tho Heavenly Twins," was given, and the ec'npades of two college chums, represented by Leonard Harris nnd John Thornton, out for a lurk, nnd their liiiigbahli) costumes while In a select school for girls, put the audience in a good humor right from the start. Prof. D. S. llaeon deserves much credit for the success of tho play, end for bringing tho Emerson Lyeoutn more prominently hefore the people. The nluy deiiioimtrnted the excellent train ing the pupils are receiving In their literary societies during the term, a training continued from year to year and which tins enabled our students, whenever they have eomo Into elo cutionary contest with neighboring schools, to conn ofT triumphant.
