The: first part of the program was of course, the Nigger Minstrels. The six endmen, from "Gold Dust" on one side tp "Static" on the other per- formed their duties well and kept the audience shaking with their rollicking humor. There were, to be sure, plenty of those typically minstrel jokes, re- vealing Kistorical facets in with our fellow townsmen, which one never learns elsewhere, Mr. Interlocutor (W.J.H. Richard- son) managed to keep his black boys well in hand. The choruses rendered by the troupe were excellent and were all warmly applauded. A spot-light casting vari-colored lights on the company added to the artistic effect. A new feature this year was the Harmonica Band which rendered several toe-tickling selections that kept the end men dancing. The choruses, songs, ete., were given perfect support by the orchestra which proved itself an organization of much musical ability, During the intermission between the first and second parts of the program, they de- lighted the audience with their rendi- tion of "The Wedding of the Painted Dolls" and other selections. The second part of the program was an amusing one act comedy, "The Scheme that Failed". It deals with troubles of a recently married young bank clerk who has aristocratic com- pany arriving suddenly. He is at his wits end, wondering what to do for servants when his sister unexpectedly turns up and forces him to let her be the servant girl. A complication de- velops when it is revealed that one of the guests is the flance of the sister. In order to save the situation it be- comes necessary to reveal the secret to all the characters in turn.

HENRY THOMAS DESTROYED BY FIRE Complete destruction of the barn and most of the stock of Henry Thomas of Greenbank, was caused by fire which broke out between eight and nine oclock on Thursday morning of last week. The damage is estimated at not less than $7,000. No theory could be advocated by Mr. Thomas as to the cause of the fire. It broke out in the barn some time after the morning chores had been finished, and had gained much headway when discovered by the resi- dents on the farm. Although neighbors Were summoned to the scene, and worked valiantly, with bucket bri- gades, it was impossible to save the barn, which was burned to the ground. Mr. Thomas' residence, and the out- buildings were saved by their efforts, however. So advanced a hold had the flames secured before the fire was discovered that it was only possible to save a few head of stock from the building.
