...Willard, who sang the "Russian Song" with much delicacy. The "Bill of Fare" quartette "took" as usual. The Pierian is certainly ambitious in attempting the andante and minuet from Mozart's E. 6 symphony, but they were not far behind in success; the Minuet was given with a vigor seldom heard in the organization. The Glee Club gave as its glees "Dearest Awake" and "Heinz von Stein." The latter made quite a hit, and was repeated. In the second part the Pierian strings gave Rheinholds prelude and after a rough introduction performed the number in a delicate and distinct manner...
...history of the great orator. Herbert Tuttle gives us an account of the Emperor William. The student of fine arts will be interested in reading "Mr. Ruskin's Early Years." An article of real value is that on "Charles Brockden Brown," the first American novelist. The name is so seldom heard at present that the pioneer of American fiction is almost forgotten.

The thing to be considered is not the maximum prize but the chance of success. Literature is comparatively free from the risks of failure to which the merchant...
...fault which everyone would be glad to see remedied. It is well known what a bore it is to pay in cash the man who has charge of the courts, for if one does not forgot to supply himself with money when he dresses himself for tennis playing he seldom has the right change and often finds the collector unable to assist him. It would be much simpler and less annoying to have some small printed tickets which could be put on sale at the Co-operative and other places. These would not only be a great convenience...
