In place of the class day r exercises usually indulged in by the Senior or graduating class each year the members of the class have determined to present the Shakespearean play, “As You Like It,” and they are now rehearsing for its presentation on Tuesday evening, May 19th, at the opera house.

Under the provisions governing the increase in ' the" rate of pensions for widows, minors and helpless children, j it will not be necessary for pensioners to make any special application for the Increase, according to instruc- ' tibiis received at the Indianapolis office of the Bureau of Pensions yesterday. The instructions advise that i the rate of pensions to all widows, i minors and helpless children now on the pension rolls at a less rate will be Increased to sl2 a month under the act of April 19, 190 a, from the date of the act. “No application,” says the instructions, "is required to obtain the intcreased rate,- but the same will be J paid by the United States pension agent at the next quarterly payment on the receipt of the voucher properly executed, which is now in possession pf the pensioner. The present pension certificate should be retained until its return shall have been requested by the pension agent from whom the pension is received.”

Shakespearean Play by Seniors.

The rehearsals are taking place daily under the direction of Superintendent Warren and the faculty and with Father Rapp, of St. Joseph’s College as instructor. Father Rapp has had charge of the many successful plays put on at the college and is especially a qualified director of plays by Skakespeare, and the performance promises to be a most interesting one. It will be the first of the commencement week festivities. The Junior reception takes place on Wednesday night, May 20th, the commencement exercises on Thursday night and the alumni banquet on Friday night, so the high school pupils the graduates of former years, the; teachers and the parents have a very busy week in front of them. The “As You Like It” cast of characters follows: Duke, living in exile——George Long Frederick, brother to thq Duke and usurper to his dominion..— Harriette Shedd Amies and Jaques, Lords attending upon the Duke in his banishment, —Carrie Pierce and Pearl Wasson Laßeau, a courtier, attending upon Frederick .—Ernest Gowland Charles, his wrestler— Vaughn Woodworth Oliver and Orlando,* sons of Sir Roland Deßois, Leo Reeves and Emmet Laßue. I Adam and Dennis, servants to Oliver Leon Lamson and Emma Tanner Touchstone, the clown—Allen Huxford Corin and Sylvius, shepherds Mary Jacks and Norman Gorham William, a country fellow in love yItET "Audrey .... .__True Bruner Hymen,Lois Thompson Rosalind, a daughter to the banished duke,— Hayes Gwin Celia, a daughter to Frederick Mae Pettet Phebe, a shepherdess,Blanch Cook Audrey, a country wench, Bel Laßup First and Second Gents Grace Robinson and Mildred Emmet Laßue as Orlando; Hayes Gwin, as Rosalind, and Allen Huxford as Touchstone’ have the leading parts and all are making good in the rehearsals.

Hanly to Assist in Campaign.

Although it was reported during the convention that Governor Hanly threatened- to bolt the ticket if certain men he favored were not nominated, it is now said by his close triends that he is very well satisfied over the situation and that he will take an active part in the campaign. The platform is said to be very pleasing to the governor. His followers are asserting that lie created the coun ty local option issue and left no loophole through which the Republican campaign managers could escape it, even if they had desired to do so. His friends say that, feeling the interest he does in the platform, the governor could do nothing else but support the ticket. Regardless of the amount of antagonism he has aroused, it is admitted—generally by politicians that the governor has a very large following, especially in the rural communities, and that there are few in Indiana more effective on the stump. , ‘ .

Mrs. Etta B. Wilson, Superintendent at the Monnett Children’s' Home, wrote the following article, which was printed in the Deaconess Advocate, along with a picture of the home. It tells of the motherly love and sacrifice that she and others are making. Was not the cause worthy of the support Rensselaer gave it? “We have recently added to our flock four little ones, three boys and a girl, all under four years of age. The two oldest boys are motherless, but their father pays for their care. Sadie, two years old, is a little woman with a burdened, careworn face and a most motherly little soul. She plays she is mamma "to all the (family from Mother Wilson down to the kittens. She has neither friends or support and we are to find her a permanent home if we think advisable. Then last and least the little toddler who came to us with no history at all and no name except “Tony,” but who needed no letter of recommendation but his own sweet little self to admit him to the inner sanctuary of the Monnett Children’s Home. Ciinning and soft and lovable, we one and all do him homage; and worst, Of all—wq call him Teddy B©ar! He looks Just like one of those soft brown ones that the children can’t help hugging; but that wasn’t how he got the name. Evey time the -table is being set he gets around behind bls chair and begins to jog back and forth from one little foot to the other, for all the world like a bear dancing; and then he sings, “Shupper, shupper; shupper, shupper!’ till he can’t say it any more. The poor little man has been hardly used and has many deep scars which look as if they had been caused by burns. I “The Home pocket-book and cupboard are never bare any more. We have eggs to eat, eggs to ‘set,’ and eggs to sell, Among recent donations are $14.05 from “The Ladies’ Sew Club” who gave a market-day benefit for the Home and five dollars left in an unmarked envelope on Easter morning. “The chicken shower still continues to sprinkle an occasional hen or dollar; hens at this date counting up to ninety and dollars to $l3O, and the incubator is “sitting” in the basement with 320 eggs “for better, for worse.” One of the donations of the chicken shower and very much appreciated was a fifty per cent discount from the Reliable Incubator Company of Quincy, 111.,., whch made it possible for us to have one of the best incubators on the market. “The Ladies’ Sew Club also gavd us a Sew Shower of needles, thread, buttons, darning cotton, cloth, etc., bringing us a supply of these articles which will last these many days. One week the lady friends of the town organized themselves into a ‘calling club’ and came to call on us by streets. Those living on one street came on one day and so on throughout the week.” \

Snipe is Not a Water Fowl.

A jacksnipe is not a water fowl. It has been so decided by Attorney General Bingham in a legal opinion just submitted to Z. T. Sweeny, state fish and game commissioner. Therefore the attorney general’s opinion is practically a death sentence to the little long-legged shore bird so unfortunate as to be “good to eat” The opinion, which was written by Deputy Attorney General Alexander Cravens, reverses an opinion rendered several years ago by Chas. W. Miller, then attorney general. The statute says that it shall be unlawful to shoot wild duck, brant “or other water fowl” at this season of the year.
