A number OF young men, with one or two exceptions

formed themselves into Thespan Corps, and rented the
theatre with its scenery and commenced giving dramatic
representations. They had performed two three

man from Hopkinsve, Kentucky, of fine personal
appearance, great dramatic talent, and energy of char

unusual degree His associates 10 whom he had greatly
endeared himself by his frank, manly department, offered
to postpone the play to some other evening" but he TO
whom the management had been given strongly insisted
that there should be disappointment, and remarked,
with forced smile upon his counenance, that If the
others ready he and he would play Berram
as never had been played on those boards" He kept
