Entertainments,
A very large audience attended the
entertainment given by the Epworth
League, in Ravenscroft’s Opera House,
. on Monday evening, and all were well
pleased with the manner in which the
program was carried out.
.Special mention should be made of
Prof. Richard Harris, whose ability in
the musical line is known by all to be
of the best;
Also the recitations by Grace Rowe,
Grace E. Deffinbaugh, and Adam E.
Hitchins, were first-class.
The other parts of the program,
consisting of Dialogues, Choruses,
Solos and Reading with Tableaux,
were very well rendered.
In the absence of Miss Brown, as
reader for the .Tableaux, Grace E.
Deffinbaugh, filled the place.
The committee in general deserve
much praise, but mostly Prof. A. F.
Smith is to be congratulated for his
skill in the arrangement of program
and the supervising of the affair.
Prof. S. T. Ford’s lecture in the
Main street Baptist church, on Wed
nesday evening, was full of wit and
humor, although several .of his selec
tions were of a pathetic character.
Among his best selections were
“How Reubenstein played the Piano,”
“The Kitchin Clock,” “Massa’s Wed
ding Present” and “The Street Car
Conductor.” All were very well
pleased with the lecture and got the
full worth of their money. The pro
ceeds were for the benefit of the
Baptist church and a nice sum was
realized.

A New Society,
Efforts are being made to form a
new society in Frostburg,-to be called
“The Welsh Mutual Improvement So
ciety.”
The people whom the English call
“Welsh,” but who call ourselves
“Cymry” (from Cyn. and Arc.—mean
ing aboriginals), are descendants of
the “Ancient Britons,” who were an
offshoot of the great race of the ,
“Celtae,” who inhabited great tracts
of Asia, and Europe in prehistoric
times.
In the little principality of Wales,
this people kept their language, (spok
en -in the ears of Julius Caesar), intact,
notwithstanding all the incursions
made on it. by their neighbors, the
Saxons, for- the last thirteen hundred
years. The Cymry —Kymry —have a
history, and many excellent traits of
character well worthy to be handed
down to their posterity in America,
who by force of circumstances are
loosing their mother tongue among
the English speaking population.
The constitution of this society is
purely unsectar'ian ; its chief aim is to
bring all Welshmen and their descend
ants in. Frostburg and vicinity into a
closer touch for mutual improvement
in all things pertaining to their wel
fare. It is contemplated to gain this
desirable object by mutual conversa
tions in the society’s meetings; by
lectures on different subjects by able
speakers ; by concerts to improve the
Welsh talent for music, and by, every
other praiseworthy means as circum
stances may crop up.
We rally around this ancient motto :
“Da i bawb ; drwg i neb” —good to
all ; harm to none. The next meeting
will be held in the vestry of the Welsh
Baptist church on Monday next at 7:30
p. m. when new members will be en
rolled and the by-laws shall be dis
cussed.
By request.of last meeting.
Henry Thomas.
