G.. A. r.
Opera Hall Opened Under Flatter.
ing Circumstances.
Friday Evenings Entertainment
a Marvel of Success.

The Opera House was fairly packed
last evening to hear the inimitable Irish
drama, Handy Andy, which had been
advertised for several days.
The performers, without an exception,
rendered their parts in manner which
placed them beyond the pale Of any ad
verse criticism.
Handy Andy CDR. Hilts) played the
leading part. He started out as servant
to Squire Egan. He acted this part to
perfection. He afterward developed into
the possession of fortune and the title
of lord. He was equally at home then.
The doctor has been schooled for the
stage, has had large experience, and
would appear creditably anywhere in any
,Dle in which his mind was enlisted.
Mad Nancy (Mrs. T. R. Moore) was the
next character in point of prominence.
She turned out to be the mother of Handy
Andy.
Squire O'Grady g. c. Stebbins) was
the tricky lawyer who had through
series of years held, by fraud, the deeds
of Mad Nancy and Edward O'Conner to
their vast estate. She was watching him
closely last night, and jerked the papers
out of his hand, and became thus secure
in her rights.
Squire Egan (Sam H. Kelly showed
up well as the lawyer engaged in the de-
Tense of Mad Nancy, Handy Andy and
Edward O'Connor in their legal rights.
J. G. Howe Furlong) acted the English
dude with extreme exactness. He is a
clerk employed by man named Sparrow.
Furlong is sent on business to O'G rady,
with whom he is unacquainted, and
through Andy's stupid blunder he is led
into Squire Egan's, and inadvertently
gives the plot away.
Murphy Erred DennisO and Dick Daw-
son &C. E. Eddy are lawyers connected
with Squire Egan.
Oonah Rooney Miss Kate Kritchfeld
was in love with Andy, and as a natural
actress showed to the best possible ad-
vantage.
Fanny Dawson Miss Lille Smith, was
in love with Edward O'Connor. She ap-
peared to excellent advantage.
The characters of ruffians, servants, ETC.,
were performed well.
The splendid drama came to an end all
too soon for the anticipations of the vast |
audience.
The drama was followed by dance.
The receipts for the benefit of the G.. A, |
r. Post we're $111.65
To each of the actors in the drama last |
night, the Post, Individually and as an or
ganization, feels debt of gratitude which
will be iquidated if opportunity shall
ever offer, Such marks of true friendship
for an organization can not be appreciated
sufficiently.
In the years that are to come the OPEN
ing Of Opera Halllast evening, the first
view of the splendid scenery as manipu-
lated for the stage, will be remembered
with intense interest by all who witnessed
it.

THE COTTAGE FOUNTAIN.

N THE HOME OF GEORGE AND NJ. J.sBLAKELY, OF
KNOX COUNTY, oHIO,-BY RELATIVE.
A fountain wells
From out a dell,
That fronts a cottage door .
Where dear ones dwell
loved SO well,
In the passing days Of yore.
And still their memory
Is sweet to me,
For the pleasure there found,
In the caress
And the friendly kiss
And the joyous coming, coming.
There's CHEEKY host
And Hostess kind,
And maiden just in bloom.
Five children more
Make up the score
OF angels there found.
In this retreat,
found so sweet,
Is my own flesh and bone
There memories dwell,
And blessings fall
Till the flight of time is DER
This fountain rill
Is pleasure still,
It waters man and beast;
Bless thou, my kindred,
As of yore,
And never, never cease.
This rill's akin
To Babble brook,
1t babbles all day long,
And brings sweet sleep
As its lullaby floats along.
