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.

Ordinance Passed for Psving Psrt of
Main St. and Psrt of Jsckson St.
At the adjourned meeting of town
council Monday evening nrd I nances
wero paused for pnvlng Main street,
from Iron bridge to Seventh street, and
Jackson street from Seventh St. to
Bradford st. Snvonteen promrty own
or along that part of Main street which
Is to be paved would not sign the
petition for the brick paving, nnd wo
understand It Is the Intention of council
to let the old plank paving remain nnd
run the curb around one-third of the
street In front of tho properties where
the parlies refused to sign the ietltlon
and will not pay nne-thlrd of the ex
penses. 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. It Is to bo
hoped that those who refuted to sign
petition will reconsider the matter nnd
be willing to pay their portion of tho
paving so that Malri street can all lie
paved with brick. We bid love that
those who do not have the paving done
In front of their property at tho nmo
time the other paving is done they will
regret It afterward.

Classic Art snd Humor.
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.

was making coffee for the reception for
seniors of tho high school, Glen was
awakened by Ruth calling for ber

floor wero filled with smoke. Glen did
not have tlmo to dress himself, but had
to run purtly dressed. The boy can .
