usual supper there will be a lunch 
counter. E;veryone is invited to at- 
tend and, if possible, to dress in cos- 
tume. The same society held a sim- 
ilar affair here about two years ago 
and it will be remembered that the 
costurnes added materially i the 
evening’s entertainment, so the ladies 
are anxious to have as many as pos- 
sible come in costume, but it is not 
obligatory. Admission, which  in- 
cludes a substantial supper at the 
railroad lunch counter, is 25 cents; 
dancing, which is to follow, will be 
ten cents extra. Mrs. Lafayette 
Hunt is chairman of the committee 
in charge.

Dr, Wirt on “ALASKA.” 
Dr. Loyal L, Wirt of Brockton de- 
livered a fine lecture on “Alaska” at 
the Village church last Sunday even- 
ing. Dr. Wirt spent three years in 
the frozen north at the time of the 
great gold strike at Nome in 1897 
and is, therefore, qualified to speak, 
not only concerning the lives and 
habits of the hits: men there, but 
of the natives also. Nome, or, as 
it was then called, Anvil, had been 
in existence only about six weeks 
when Dr. Wirt arrived there to help 
the inhabitants through the cold, 
hard winter. ‘The flotsam and jet- 
sam that came to Nome during its 
second year had not yet arrived and 
the miners there then were mostly 
college men, well bred fellows who 
were making a second start in life 
after one mistake at home, in many 
cases. As the winter wore on there 
was much illness and unforeseen ac- 
cidents, so that it finally became evi- 
dent that supplies were dangerously 
low. Then Dr. Wirt conceived the 
idea of crossing the 1200 miles of 
frozen waste land southward to the 
open Pacific, where he might com- 
municate with the “outside.” This 
had never been done, but Dr. Wirt 
persisted in his determination and, 
on January 9, started with one dog,
