covert or personal Interests to promote.
It serves no political ambition, no creed,

IT'S PI FFER EXT, because It advocates
equal taxation and battles against the

manhood and not money should rule.
Therefore It upholds the rights of all,

Coming Musieale and Social Event
Tho entertainment nrrnnf'oil for
tlio evening of of Monday Soptetiile
4 (Labor day), at Browns Hall, for
the benefit of tlio oriian fund of tho
Church of tho fiood Shepard, Mil
ford, is promoted and managed by
thoso whose efforts and endeavors in
this direction have invariably been
crowned with (ratifying success.
It is not' hazardous, therefore, to
predict an evening of exceptional
pleasure and enjoyment, and a sub
stantial addition to tho organ fund,
interest in tho completion of which
is very general.
Tho entertainment, as already
announced, will consist in part of
"Pictures from song and story,"
happily chosen and beautifully pre
sented ; music, vocal and instrumen
tal, by distinguished artists who
have kindly volunteered for the
occasion, and finally, and perhaps
most important to young people
dancing as an appropriate and bi'il -limit
social climax to the season in
Milfoid which no many young pi
ple always remember with pleasure.
Mrs. tioorgo St John, tlio disting
uished soprano so favorably known
to Mllford j Mrs. Von der Heydo the
charming vocalist whose singing is
always a special attraction ; Miss
Lallah St John, the violinist, desig
nated by her noted instructors as
one of tho six finest violinists in the
world, whoso professional debut it
will be ; Mr. Brewster Beutty of the
Princeton Glee Club, and Senor Ag
ramonto are among those who will
participate in the musical part of
tho programme.
With a view to affording to the
largest numlier of people an oppor
tunity to attend and enjoy this ex.
eeptioieilly at tractive entertainment,
tho admission foes have been nindo
moderate, fifty cents for leserved
seats on sale next week nt Arm
strongs pharmacy and twenty flive
cents general admissinn. A mater
ially higher schedule would be
justifiable, and it is expected the
public will appreciate the opportun
ity nnd privilege upon this gala
occasion.

such art ion ou the part of the Hoard. lu
case the Hoard refused to hulld tho fence,
he said he would fence In the building,
thus closing the school Only 5 members
of the Hoard were present, and after Home
pretty splry argument, the meeting decid
ed to take no action until the next meet
ing. I enn see no cause for this meeting, for
another meeting must be hud before school
