Helena was favored with another of Miss
Henrietta MOnroe's entertainments on Sat |
friday night. Miss Monroeis no mere me-
;hanical elocutiontst, but real artist, tho
Ter art is nnsconscions, as the highest art
always is. She has no school girl concep-
ion of the characters she represents, but
hat of woman with deep insight into
ne emotions of mankind which enable her
o carry her auditors whithersOever she
hooses to lead-tO sorrow or to gladness.
0 laughter or to tears. She has perfect
ontrol Of wonderful musical voice.
1hich, at her will, is low and exquisitely
weet, adding irresistible fascination to
athletic sketches, or loud and ringing. and
tartlingly thrilling in effect. Miss Mon
De has none OF the theatrical mannerism
demeanor or language which detracts
'om Mrs. Scott Siddons' merit. The lady {
i'll visit BoZeman before she leaves Mon
ina.
The graduating exercises at the Graded
:hool on Thursday night Were very inter-
ting and attracted large audience. The 6
says of the three young ladies who form

editable efforts and received well merited
'plause. Granville Stuart made few ap-
'opriate remarks. as did also Prof. Rolfe, G
rincipal Of the school, who, however, il
ded to the evenings entertainment a g
mewhat irritable complaint Of various {
ople and things with whom and which
is apparently dissatisfied. He alleged a
'berality in educational matters on the h
1T of the Helena people, and concluded 81
'ntimating that we must get another d
incipal for our school, as he was offered ir
tier terms by eastern institutions of &
rning-presumably in land where the
ople laugh according to Webster's I'm Il,
ridged. MIR. Rclfe has done good work n
Helena, and his faithful labor is duly ap- -,
,ciated, bat some of his observations on D
ursday evening were by many consider m
in bad taste, to say the least. ~
