A Good Programme and a Good Audience. There was a splendid audience, and an appreciative one, at the evening recital, given by tho Ladies' Musieal Club, on Thursday night. The nine numbers were heartily received, and nearly all the performers responded to encoves. The programme was as fol- lows: Sonata, . Besthoven, Miss Myu- riel King; two songs, "Thy Beaming Eves." and "The Year's at the Spring," Miss Larke: piano solo, "Polka de la Reine," Miss Singleton; song, "My Dreams," Miss Cairns; two Piano numbers, "'Murmuring Zephyrs," and "Crescendo" (Lappen), Miss Webster; song, "Sing On," Miss Larke; piano, * Fruhlingrauschen," Miss King: two vocal numbers, ""Un- til God's Day," and "Love Has Eyes," Miss Cairns.

As one of the prominent women in the club said, "She is a great gain to wa." Miss King played, as usual, with verve, sympathy and breadth, and recived the applause which always greets her.

Mrs. Elizabeth Shortt writes to the Whig : "ay I correct ATO made recent « at ng fhe hoard " , viz, that "a previous experi- ment had been a failure, The experi- ment referred to 'was made in 1898 and 1599 and consisted in, tha 'school board send twenty girls of senior fourth ng Y.W.C.A. for classes in domestic science. When asked = continve the subject and to exten the teathing 10 all the girls of the senior fou the i for refusal was that the board = could not afford to extend it to all the girls of one grade and must, therefore, discontinue i. "I believe that if the minutes of the school board of 1899 be referred to this resolution will be found to affirm that 'while the experiment has been a success, ete." : "A to the board's assertion that the experiment was a success, 1 have still in my possession the testi- monials of the parents of the girls who benefited by the domestic science teaching, all stating their apprecia- tion and approval. "I am very glad that the present school board has seen its way to ex- tend the privilege of domestic science teaching to all 'the girls of the senior fourth grade." The t of the mana, mittee of September, | follows : "Your commities fully considered the question of domestic science in our public schools and have come to the conclusion that it is inadvisable to continue the wark as it has been carried on in the past; your commit nt com- , read as tee is of the opinion that if such a clasa is to be established, it should be to all girls in the senior fourth grade and eatirely under the control of the board.

"Joseph Wilson." The resolution of Mr. Elliott was that "no action be taken, a previous experiment having proven unsatisfac- tory." In his remarks he said that Miss Pingree had been a capable teacher and had given good satisfac- tion while her pupils had done well, vet from the board's view the experiment had proven unsatisfactory. And this dissatisfaction was largely due through the lack of control after the pupils leave the schaol room. The dommittee favored a domestic science oourse of their own, And this is what Mr. Elliott advocated--a fully equip- ped school where not only the fourth grade girls, but the girls of all grades could secure' the valuable Jnowledge imparted in such a depart ment. The board had previously tried the experiment, knew the value of~do- mestic science, and it did not require the expenditure of another $75 i, find out the benefits ymestic science was in its infancy in 1599 and the experiment was needed then. To-day domestic science is known and appreciated and Mr. Elliott's con- viction was that the board should proceed to equip a department and as- sociate with it a well prepared and thoroughly up-to-date manual train- ing school. The opposition was not to domestio science, but to a second, and, therefore, needless experiment. Kingston should be in the line with other progressive cities in having a thorough: domestic science course i In connection with its schools, Arrangements Made. The domestic science classes for the girls of the senior fourth classes the public schools, will open on Mon- day. The arrangement for attending has been made as follows : Twenty-five from Central school on Monday morn- ings; ten from Frontenac and Orph- an's Home schools, Monday after- noon; twenty-six from Louise school, Thursday morning; twenty-eight from Victoria school, Tuesday afternoon. No Tidings Yet. There is yet a haze of mystery about Reginald Britt, the young man drowned off the government' drydock Wednesday night. If he had parents it is not known where they reside; his home was not. as believed, in Brown- ville, N.Y.

A Brilliant Scene and a Brilliant Success. Last evening The Ancient St. John's Lodge entertained their wives, bairns and friends in the Masonic hall. It was such a joeifliaht secue Jl so plea- sant throughout that asons must wish for occasional repetitions. In the cherished east, sat W. Bro. George Creeggan, whose wielding of the gavel gives pleasures to every member, fecl- ing that i¢ is the reward of long and faithful service in the craft. He was supported by M. W, Bro. R. T. Wal kem, P.GM., and R. W. Bro. James Minnes. The former gave an exeellent address upon the revival of Free Mas- oury two centuries since, and in ex- planation of its principles and privil- eges. He plso read Mrs. Caudle's cur- tain lecture of Masonic seerots, add- ing conclusive excuses for the absence of the venerable goat on this occasion of a veritable gathering of pastmas- ters. The opening of a highly enter- taining programme was done by Bro. ggan, in a neat speech. Piano solos by Misses Minnic and Lily Shaw and Robert Harvey; songs by Misses Knight and Tandy, and Messrs. Arth- ur Craig, W. Lavell, and Rathbun, were given with excellent effect, and brought hearty recalls. The McMillan iano was used, Refreshments of many Pa were served in an ante-room, Bannerettes surrounded the hall, and among them were two of historical well as artistic value--the banner of England, three lions couchant, that of Scotland, Hon rampant. They were beautifully embroidered in raised silk work, and have been preserved by the lodge for over seventy years. Two oil paintings of battle scenes early in the cighteenth century, and much more than a century old, are also vrized. ~ the gift of an enthusiastic brother, the late Col.

Miss Sorabji, lecturing in the' United States and Canada in the interests of her school for Parsee children in Poo- na, India, is in the city. Miss Sorabji is the daughter of Rev. Sorabji Khar- sedji, who was one of the first three converts to Christianity from Zofoas- trianism, in 1841. The people for whom she is working are the descend. ants of those Porsians who, driven out by Mohammedan persecation from their own country, fled to India, where for twelve centuries they have pre- served untainted the faith for which they were ready to make any sacrifice. The winning of Parsees to the Chris- tian religion has been a slow and al- most discouraging task, according to the missionary history. They are a people of wealth and culture, among Oriental races, and this su periority places them beyond the Ho grasp of missionaries. Miss Sorabji and her mother have heen working among their people in the belief that educa tion is the hest weapon with which tg combat the idolatry and superstition in India. They have been carrying on work of an evangelistic and educative nature in schools established among their people, and it is in aid of these schools Miss Sorahji is now appeal ing to Canadians, Miss Sorabji is distinotly Anglicized in_her manner and speech, which has a pronounced English accent. -- AT THE GRAND. | Elsie Janis is the "Little Duchess.'

There was a reference to snow shov- eiling at yesterday's hoard of works meeting. Ald. Carson complained that the city had charged him for shovel- ling snow off a two-foot running walk along some vacant property of his at the city limits. He thought the cog poration had little to do, when he in- tended shovelling the snow himself, and gave notice that he didn't want the walk shovelled again. He would attend to it. The engineer stated that the by-law provided for the city shovelling all walks found unattended to and charging the cost to the own- ers. Are Rated Too High.
