Miss Bertha Doppelmayer rendered
''The Daughter of the Reglmentn with
an easy grace and perfection in touch

Miss Annie Kennedy read the "Baby

cheeks light up with q smile borrowed
from heaven as they wreathed her brow
with white rosebuds, and laid her to rest
In the silent home of the dead.

the stage and sang "Whrte Wings"
which was greeted with increased en-
thusiasm by the audience.
Mrs. c.. B. Stuart read "Sam WeIler's |

that brought Sam and the old man before |
the Imagination, wildly portraylng the

Prof. Oscar II. Cooper delivered an
