The Oratorio of Queen Esther.


If the participants in the beautiful |
drama of Queen Esther had two of the !
worst nights of the Winter-One ofrain |
and the other of wind and cold
Thursday and Friday nights last, they
had the satisfaction of rising superior
to the clements in that the singers
were greeted by good audiences and
acquitted themselves in the highest
need of praise. In both the singing
and impersOuations it was surprising
how persons unaccustOmed to the
stage could arrive at such a degree of
excellence in so short time. Prof. ID.
p. Wyatt gave this OratOriO here two
and a-half years ago, but the presenta-
tiOn last week taking it altogether, is
considered superior in its execution.
The character of Queen Esther was
naturally accorded Miss Elva G. Car
row for her well-knOwn vocal attain
ments and adaptation, and that of King
as naturally to Walter o. HOffecker
| likewise for his ability to take the role
in song and regal dignity of King; the
two next important characters, Haman
and his wife Zeresh were by two who
had not participated in such renditiOns
i
| the proud prince with great credit,
while Miss Elva Smith, as the royal
| princess, won encOmiums from all sides
in her fine impersOnatiOn, her voice,
cOntraltO, supporting her admirably.
Little Bee Smith, as Zeresh's child,
acted the trying part through which
they had to pass in Haman's overthrow
and execution in childish naiUete. L..
NJ, Price, with a clear, soft tenor, took
we'll the part of MOrdecai, especially
in his pleadiqgs with Esther to go be-
fore the King and save their people
from the wicked decree of Haman
Miss Clara Wilson was likewise well
adapted to the character of Prophecies.
Miss Maggie Walker did herself credit
in demeanOr and voice as Maid OF
Honor. Miss Hannah u. VanGasken
sustained her part as MOFdecais Sis
ter. G.. Garrison made an excellent
Hagei; j. Ed. Hoffecker likewise as
, Scribe and Harbonah; VIM. H. Baggs
, was the High Priest, while Jos. J.. Cav.

Temperance Meeting.

A spirited temperance meeting was
held at the Town Hall, on Sunday
afternoon, under the auspices OF
Smyrna Lodge, No. 5, l. O. G. T., who
had the cordial cooperation and pres
ence of the w. G. T. u, which met at
the residence of Mrs. Isaac FAIRIES and
attended the meeting as body. The
room was comfortably filled and the
walls, stage and chandelier prettlly
decorated with flags, bunting and ever
green.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by Rev. John France. Miss
Nora w. Cotton presided at the organ
and after the singing of an ode by the
lodge and a few remarks by Rev. j. b.
Quigg, who presided, Rev. J. ".
Smith was introduced as the first
speaker. His address was some ten or
fifteen minutes long in his usual ear
nestness and fOrcefulness of thought,
congratulating the Good Templars
for the way they were gathering in the
young men and young women and in
doctrinating them in the principles OF
temperance, in whom he especially
saw hope as a counteractant to the hos
tile attitude of the Legislature and the
| Judges of our courts.
Chas. H. Register was next intro
duced, who, in a five minutes speech
affirmed with emphasis his high regarc
for the temperance cause and his read
mess, politically morally and socially
to work for it.
The above two speakers were una
ware that they would be called upon
and their remarks were therefore en-
tirely imprOmptu.
The set speech for the occasion wa
by Rev. Herman Roe, who spoke TO
nearly an hour with more than usua
force and effectiveness. The addres
covered the usual points on the line c
total prohibition and the obstacles i
the way, included in which were tn
power of party allegiance, and the att
tude of Indifference or hostility OF tn
legislative and judiciary department
He sketched briefly in the latter pa
!, of the address the early history an
! rescue of John B. Cough from the de!
l relation into which he was falling fro
t drink, laying particular stress on II
: friendly hand that was laid on h
g shoulder and the sympathy that invi
Z ed and sustained him in fighting tn
e demon of the cup; saying that tn
friendly hand was perhaps as much
