The seniors of the Spanldinir High School will hold their annual exhibition in tiic chapel this evening at 7 :'M). Xo admission will be charged and ilis hoped a large crowd will attend. The affair promises the best in the history of the school. AHOUT THE SOCIALISTS. At the meeting of the Hams section of the socialist labor party held on Wednesday evening in the hall over Scamj ani's store a letter entitled "Ob jections to Socialism," from the pen of Hubert lilatchford, author of "Merrie England," was read. The writer, in answer to an assertion by one, Sir J.W. Maclure, M. P., that there is nothing to prevent the son of n crossing sweeper from rising to be Lord Chancellor of England, pointed out that the present struggle for existence might be fitly compared to a fire, panic in a big hall. To (piote from the writer: "The hall is full of people and then! is only one door. A rush is made for that door. Some of that crowd get out, some are trampled to death, some are injured, some are burned. -Now that crowd of people, who are most likely to escape? Those nearest tlie door have a better chance than those furthest, the strong have a better chance than the weak, and (he men have a belter chance than the women, and the children the worst chance of all. Then again, which is the more, likely to be saved, the st ilish man who tights' and drags others down, who stands upon the fallen bodies of women and children, and wins his way by force; or the brave and gentle man I who tries to help the women and chil dren, anil will not trample on tne wounded? 1 hose who get through are cheered and rewarded, and few ques tions are asked as to how they got through. Further, suppose the hall to be divided into three parts; first, the stalls, men tne pit sraus, men me pu. SuoDose the only door is the door in the stalls; suppose the people in the pit stalls have to climb a high barrier to get to the stalls ; suppose those in the pit have, to elnn'o a ingii uarrier io get to the pit stalls, and men a high barrier; that parts the pit stalls from the stalls; suppose there is, right at the back part of the pit, a small weak boy. Now I ask you as sensible men, 'Is there 'nothing to prevent'' that hoy from I'cttiug through that door!" You know the boy has only the smallest of chances of getting out of that hall Hut. he has a thousand times better chance of get ting safely out of that door than the son of a crossing sweeper has of becoming Lord Chancellor of England." The above may appear to some to ap ply only to Monarchial Hrilain. Very much the same economic conditions, however, exist in Republican America. There, also, the erroneous idea is to be encountered that any one of the working class, who constitute. .r2 per cent of the population, and who own but four and a half per cent of the wealth of the country, may, if they so will it, become millionaires! or. at least, become poses sons of properly to the extent of thous ands of dollars' value. It is an estab lished economic fact that the riches of one man is based on the necessary pov erty of hundreds of his fellowmcn. And if the present capitalist system continues for another fifty years, the working class will find themselves (instead of being better off than they are to-day) I lie slaves of a few hundred billioiiidrcs. who will practically own the country and all that is in it, including the lives of the workers ; for, as Shakespeare says, "You take my life when you take the means whereby 1 live." K. 1.. Great Britain Friendly to the Untied States. London Apr. 15. An American am bassador says that efforts towards a na val demonstration could not succeed Great Hritlain has refused to join such a move. More Excitement in the House. Washington Apr. 15. There was a lively scene in the house this morning Farley said the speaker was responsi ble for the late scene in the house, said he would prefer to lose his head resenting an insult than to lose his self respect submitting to one. President will not Veto any Bill. Washington Apr .15. The Cabinet today discussed the Cuban situations. The government has received no intima tion of the preparation of a note by the powers. Th' Cabinet does not think efforts being malic by Spain for con centrating the powers in her favor will amount to anything. The President js not likely to veto any resolution Con gress may adopt. WHAT THE BAND PLAYED. An Exciting Dinner Table Episode on an Atlantic Liner. An instance of what it calls "trans atlantic courtesy" is related by Le Oau lois of Paris. One of the greatest singers of France, a woman whom it says every body will at once identify ou a mo ment's consideration, was returning from New York on one of the German liners. Ono evening, glancing at tho programme of the concert that was to bo played at dinner, sho saw fbo an nouncement of a triumphal march cele brating the German victory of 1671. "I am snro," rug Biiid to a fellow conutryman sitting near, "that this is not intended as a discourtesy to us, but I don't care! I'm too much of a patriot not to express my disapproval of it in my own way when they begin- vo yl&y this piece. Wait and see. " The captain, having caught the gist of these, remarks and noticing tho great artist's agitation, glanced tit tho pro gramme to Bee what caused it; then, without showing nny surprise, ho speko to one of tho waiters in a low tono. At the moment when the German tri umphal march was due to begin tho French singer, who could hardly con trol her agitation, prepared to leave the table. The first chord was played, tho artist arose and stood, pale, agitated, amazed, while tho officers and other passengers also got up and smiled sym pathetically at her. And tho baud play ed "Tho Marseillaise!" now Senator Vest Obtained Ilis Desk. Many good stories could be told of the alertness which senators display in securing well placed desks, but the ex perience of Mr. Vest is especially worth relating. When in 1883 thecivil service) law was being discussed, Mr. Pendlo tou, an Ohio Democrat, and Mr. Dawes had presented bills. By a shrewd bit of polities the Republicans abandoned their support of Ihe Dawis bill and voted far Mr. Pendleton's measure, their votes, together with the votes of the Demo crats favorable to the measure, being sufficient to pass it. As the bill was about to bo voted ou Mr. Cockrell mov ed that its title bo changed eo as to read, "A bill to retain Republicans in office." As soon as it passed, Mr. Vest filed a claim for Mr. Pendleton's scut. "The author of such a bill, " said bo, "will never come back to the senate." Mr. Vest was right, and at tho begin ning of the next congress ho moved into Mr. Pendleton's vacant chair. Wash ington Post. The Trees of Tana. Paris is prcLably (bo only city in the world which has trees that bloom twice a year habitually. These aro the horse chestnuts. Hiero aro 17,000 of them planted in the squares and along tho boulevards, and 20,000 buttouwoods The trees in Paris aro numbered, just like the people, tho cabs, the animals, the lampposts and tho matches. These horso chestnuts have only been doing this trick for about five years, and only some of them have mado a practice of it. These die, or apparently die, in the latter part of July, and all the leaves fall off. A month or so afterward they all come out into flower again and little green leaves shoot forth continually un til they are nipped by the first frost. Thero is a reason for this, and the sci entists worked over the matter for a long time to be able to explain it. Briefly and unscientifically tho trees lose their leaves becauso they aro at tacked by a littlo fungus which is blown upon them by the wind; then, being still full of sap, they start to put torti) leaves all over again. A Precautionary Measure "What are you doing now, doctor?" asked tho actress. "I am taking a snap shot photograph cf you, madam," rosponded tho dentist, "so that if any unpleasant consequences follow this operation and you sue mo for damages for the loss of yo:r beauty I can establish something in the nature of an alibi, as it were. 1 am ready now, madam, to extract tho tooth.
