Homer D. Cope, Of New York city, the
we'll known elocutionist, whom a portion
of our citizens had the pleasure of hear
ing in his great rendition of Damon and
Pythias some time ago, will give one of
his celebrated readings at Turner Hall
under the auspices of the Knights Of
Pythias lodge, Tuesday evening, June
1st. A programme composed Of fun,
pathos and tragedy has been selected for
the occasion, and we doubt not Mr.. Cope
will be greeted with full attendance
which his abilities deserve. From among
a number of press notices complimentary
to Mr.. Cope as a reader we take the fol-
lowing
His talent is versatile, and with
humorous, pathetic, and dialect read
ings does he successfully captivate
his audience The recital of The Fall
of Pemberton' was full of pathos and
grandly impressive. A wonderful and
matches rendering was Uncle Daniels

Age He entered fully into the spirit of
the author, and if Mark Twain had been
present he would have conceded that Mr..
Cope did his subject justice. Carroll

insisted on my taking it, saying that he and
others he knew, had been troubled the same
way. 1t seems incredible, but in two days be-
gan to feel better, my appetite improving, and
in few days was able to walk up to the town
some half mile distant without getting wearied,
or having any tuttering or palpitatiOn of the
heart. In short time / returned to New York
