Local beer agents have notified the saloon men that the war tax of $2 will bo charged upon each barrel of beer delivered hereafter. This is an advance of 81 over tho previous rate, and the retailers do not take kindly to the in crease. They claim the breweries should stand at least half of the war tax, which would leave the prico per barrel the same as at present. Instead, the brewers are saddling the whole tax on the saloonlsts. Tho latter cannot well raise the price of a glass to f or 7 cents, and unless a compromise is effect ed with the brewers a reduction in the si/.e of glasses may be looked for at any time. There is some talk of the retailers organizing to resist the advance in beer. The small amount of trade being done in their line, with no lessening in the expense of conducting a saloon, has made the business unprofitable to many, and tho action of tho brewers has arous ed them more than anything else which has occurred in a long whilo.

I SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN BY PAROCHIAL PUPILS WAS LARGELY ATTENDED. The Grand Opera House on Monday Even ing Wan Crowded to the Doors by Those Who Came to Witness the Annual Clos ing Exercises of the Sisters' School. One of the largest audiences that has yet been present at the Grand opera house assembled there on Monday even ing, the occasion being the sixth annual entertainment of the pupils of St. Ann's parochial school.

The decision arrived at on Monday, to give but one performance, had the effect of bringing many thoro who had been waiting to attend the ex pected reproduction, and in conso qenco the large building was uncom fortably tilled, as people insisted on getting In after all available space was occupied. Tho interior of the house and the stage were prettily decorated with the national and Cuban colors and potted plants, and the program was completed without a hitch or interruption of any kind. Tho work of this large number of scholars, from both the musical and general departments, gave evidence of the samo careful training by the Sisters of Morcy that has boon so noticeable in previous entertainments. Each number on the lengthy program had something pleasing about it. Among those which the audicnco appeared to particularly enjoy were the dancing girls and the singing of tho "Star-Spangled Manner" by forty little ones, accompany ing it with Delsartean movements. "The Grand Baby Show" also cauie in for much favorable comment. "The of Cuba," as told in alle gory in three acts, was followed intently by the audience, and the victory of that oppressed land, gained through the in tercession of humanity's powerful friend, "America," was welcomed with such plaudits as to leave no room to doubt the patriotism of that audience. Tho drill of the Keystone Cadets, represent ing the boys in blue, was a creditable exhibition of military movements and roused the spirit of the spectators to the highest possible pitch.
