Many persons are disposed to describe
the influence of the stage as bareful, and in
some instances they are right, but the lessons
inculcated by such plays as "Fate" are bene-

Fate.
The Goldens opened their weeks campaign
at Turner hall, last evening, by producing the
powerful drama of "Fate." The play is a
very good one; it sparkles with noble senti-
ments, is bright with humor and abounds with

Miss Bessie Mcclellan, as .'Sallie," Mrs. X.
7. Miller, as the awful, freeloving ''Mss
D;cer." M w. A. Mason, as "Loomis
Lucky" Mr.. w II. Riley, as victimized
..Dayid Paulding," and Mr.. w. Tucker, as
tIe irrepressible "Dr. Littlsjohn," were all
excellent in their way.
