QUEEN RsTHFR.
The event of tha week in Worthing-
ton amusement circles was the rendi-
ton of the cantata of "Queen Esther"
at Masonic Hall on Saturday, Monday
and Tuesday evenings, to crowded
houses, by the local talent Of Worthing-
ton, under tho management OF Prof. A.
G. Bixler. Altogether about forty
singers took part, and as it is mapi.
testify impossible to give separate no.
tice of each one, the amusement re-
porter is compelled to confino his
remarks to the more prominent parts.
There are some whose names are not
mentioned who did as well as others
whose names appear, and he hopes no
one will feel sighted.
Prof. Bixler took the part of King
Ahasuerus, and, as was to he expected,
sang and acted the part in a most ex-
cellent manner.
The character Of Queen Esther was
taken by Mrs. DR.. Crigler, and it goes
without saying that she did exceedingly
we'll, especially in the scene between
herself and Mordecai wherein she an
nounces that she will 60 unto the king
to make duplication for her people.
The part Of Mordecai was taken by
Frank Lewis, and was rendered in that
gentleman's well kno VII and admirable
style. His voice failed him once or
twice, but that did not mar the general
excellence of his personaticn.
The part of Hannah was tai en by L.
NJ. Langc, and if it was ever better
acted the reporter has mover seen it.
Ills singing, too, was good.
The other parts were taken rs fol-
lows: Zeresh (Haman's wife), Mrs.
Belle Buchan; Prophecies, Miss Hattie
Smith: Mordecai's Sister, Miss May
Crane; High Priest, II. w. Lewis;

Pages, Misses Edith Miller and Carrie
Allen; Ida (IIaman's cl,ild), Miss Erva
Pope. There was also Il grand chorus
both OF Persians and Jews.
A pleasing feature Of the entertain
ment was chorus and grand marcel, by
number of little girls, which was ell
Enthusiastically encored. The Worth
ington String band, led by Prof Mer-
ritt, furnished some delightful music
for the occasion. Mrs. e. T.. Hewitt
was the pianist, and officiated in her
usualA excellent manner. A four
handed piece by her and Mrs. Frank
Lewis on Saturday evening, was much
admired.
Prof. Dixler deserves great credit for
the splendid manner il which the Call
tata was presented.
