Unless other arrangements are made in the meantime, he will visit Dur- ham again on the 30th of June. Paar. NICImLL, Organizer of the Dominion Alliance, was in town last week and delivered the most practical lecture We ever listened to on the question of Prohibition. He review- ed briefly the chain of events which led up to the referendum upon which a vote is to be taken December 4th. touching on the promises of Premiers Mowat, Hardy and Ross. and the failure of the latter to keep faith with the temperz-nce peOple. but sub- mitting instead a loaded referendum. Neither political party in the House, he contended were in sympa~ thv with the temperance people. and the light trifling way in which the question was treated showed how little they regarded the demands of those who were anxious to destroy the drink“ evil. From the way he spoke it was evident he did not ex- pect a victory for the cause of temp- erance. but defeat was not going to deaden their determination to fight on in the righteous cause in which they were engaged. Many of the objections urged by the anti-prohibi- tionist were satisfactorily diaposed of and the compensation of those engaged in the traffic in case of a prohibitory law in his Opinion should not be entertained.

On Friday and Saturday evenings of la3t week, in the Durham Opera House, the people of the town and vicinity had the privilege of listening to two very entertaining concerts. Let. it not be forgotten that it was in the Opera House, that magnificent structure so much admired by visit- ors and so proudly gazed upon by the citizens of the town. It was a fine. dry evening, and consequently the Spectators could view the panoramic scenes before them without holding up their umbrellas to protect them from a shower or perchance sit down in a pool of water collected before their arrival in their reserved seats. It wasn’t cold either and consequent- ly the old brick propped stove was not taxed to its utmost capacity to send a feeble ray of heat to the re- mote corners of the colossal structure Everything was " merry as 9. mar- riage bell ” and so the show went on. It was a charity concert and the performers from first to last were chosen from among the young fry, whose time and energies for a num- ber of weeks have been spent in preparation for the event under the training: of Miss Laidlaw. Miss Limin, Miss Ireland, and'Mlss Munro. Barrister Davidson was the chair- man. and discharged his duties in a manner characteristic of the man. which proved eminently satisfactory to horh performers and audience. The company was not sufficiently posted in the “ lightning: changes " of longer established companies and con- sequently some time was spent in pl‘epnt‘atinn llt tween the different Acts.;l>tit. the delays were not weari- some in. l_li~' orchesrra kept up music (lurint,r |lw inte: vals. and some of the audience indulged in a little chit chat, till the next number was announced. Permit us to say on the start that the company consisred of thirty or forty performers, and it will be im- possible for us to do more than merr- ly mention the star actor in the var- ious plays, and for any omission. whether international or Otherwise, we must not be expected to make any apology. THE BEST JUVENILE TREAT EVER GIVEN IN THE TOWN HALL. The first numbei was apatriotic chorus, entitled Johnm Canuck, and was lustily joined in by the whole company. Then came a D011 Drill, by about a. dozen little girls. who sang sweetly and went through the various movements with accuracy and precision. “The Upper Ten and the Lcwer Five,” was the next number on, and from the excellent way in which it Was rendered we have some fine talent in Masters Jimmy and Alfred McClockliu the two boys who took part. The \Vaitexs’ Drill, by about- a dozen girls under the direction of Miss Ireland was Splendidly carried out. and, like all the numbers from beginning to end, was much appreci- nted. The Market Day Drill, by about eight or ten little enrls. of six or seven years of age, was very interest- ing. especially the efiort some had in getting into line on the required movements. The mouth organ duet. by Masters Alfred and Albert McClocklin, was a bright number and hrought forth hearty applause. Fred Laidlaw, a little fellow about the size of a bottle of soda water. was dressed up in military scyle, gun in hand. and delighted the whole house in his character song " I want to be a Soldier.” This was followed by aduet. by Willie Laidlaw and May Glass. It was a kind of love and courtship a!- fair which came to a climax when Willie got. his arm around the little girl’s neck and marched of! the stage. movement in a gold-filled case from $10.00 up.

The cake walk. by eight boys, with blackem d faces, four of whom were dressed as girls. was a source of much merriment to everybody. Two of tee couples seemed to be equally ap- preciated and of course the cake had to be (ivided. The couples taking part, gentlemen first, were Edwin Glass and Willie Laidlaw. Jimmie McClocklin and \Villie Saunders. Har- ry Lavelle and George Harbottle, Albert and Alfred McUlocklin, (twin brathers). Willie is young yet, but he is a. chip ofl' the old block, and it will be a mir- acle if he doesn’t grow up to hsve as much cheek as his daddy. The Best Song. by six little sailor boys seated in s best with‘ ours in hand. singing and rowing to the music of the piano, was also smuch sp- preciated number. Mother Goose, by Miss Mamie Mun- ro and several others, was a bright number. Those taking part were Lottie Harbottle and Essel Laidlaw, Vida MoLachlan and Willie Lavelle. Laura Siegner and Edwin Glass. Rita Irwin and \Villie Laidlaw, Lillian Walker and Carl Brown. .Iewel Little and James Ector. Hazel Caldwell and Jimmy McClocklin, Anna Saunders and Bea McCracken. “I don’t want to play in your yard,” by two little tots Marjory McKenzie and Edna Limin was one of the sweetest exercises of the evening. The May pole dance by several little girls dancing round a pole was a unique affair, but " some one had blmidered,” and the only hitch in the whole concert occurred when the rib- bons got mixed and refused to be un- wound. There was no mismke how- ever on Saturday night and the little girls dcrerve much credit for the suc- ceqsle performance of such a difficult task. A quadrille. by eight little girls. was well sustained and showed much care and patience on the part of the young lady who had charge of train- ing them. The Zizi Ze Zum Zum chorus by the cake walk performers was also a good number. Stay in your own Back Yard, a song of a negro mother to her child, who was abused by the white child- ren was admirably rendered in char- acter by Miss Mamie Munro. who is already a favorite young vocalist. Master Freddy Laidlaw was the. baby " coon,” in this selection. Two or three tableaux and achoru's closed what we believe was the mosr. enjoyable entertainment held in Dur- ham for years. The first tableau was a prayer scene. in which little Vivian Crawford looked like a piece of wax work, the second was “ Charity” pictured by Miss Winnie McCaul and Miss Vnddie Caldwell. the third was ” The Old Woman that lived in the shoe ” by Miss Bea .‘chra0ken and her host, of children. the fourth was Good Night, by Miss Madeline Darl- 111g. A courting duet by Master Albert McClocklin and Miss Edna Limin was well sustained. Master Carl Brown gave a recital with good efiect. “ God Save. the Red Cross Flag.” a recitation by Miss Lillian Walker was well rendered. The proceeds amounted to fifty-one dollars and seventy-five cents on Friday night, and will be wholly de- voted to charitable purposes. The entertainment on Saturday evening was a repetition of the Friday even- ing’s performance intended to raise money to pay the expenses Incurred. Miss Limin won a reputation for herbelf as accompanist in all the ex- cruises. The Great Northern Railway Once lore Takes The Lead. We had an idea the proceeds would be divided between the printing of~ fices, but it seems there are other claimants. Trumps will take notice that the proceeds are to be given to the poor of the town, nnd applications from the hobo fraternity will not. be considered. The ladies who had charge of training the children we certuinlv deserving of a grant deal of credit. for their painluking energy. In oflering reduced rates to the NORTH WEST.
