mian Girl" The following pleasant
words from the Louisville Courier
Journal will be endorsed as true by
residents of the Twin Cities, with whom
the Bostonians are, and long have been,
prime favorlteS: Everybody is con-
graduating Messrs. Macdonald, Barnae
bee & Karl upon the success of their
organization, the Bostonians. Certainly
this is the most popular operate or
theatrical company that visits Louis
vile, and there is warmer personal
feeling for its members than there is for
those of any other company. The great
good sense, the perfect gentlehood, the
high artistic finish of its members has
caused this state of things, and the fact
is witnessed every night in the applause
that greets the Individual performers.
Certainly opera has never before been
given here at popular prices with such
perfection of ensemble and detail as the
Bostonians give to it,"
THE PEOPLES.
The fact that ''Black Diamonds" was
presented for the benefit of Labor
temple at the Peoples theater last week,
it was presumed would be sufficient to
pack the house every night, but this
was not the case. Although the attend
ance was large, it did not exceed the
average. The play was well presented,
and was quite popular. This week a
spectacular military drama entitled
''Antietam; or, the Spy Of South Noun
ia in," will be given. 1t is play which
affords opportunity for some striking
scenic and stage effects, there being six
allegorical tableaux. Arthur Hurt has
also arranged a cyclarama, showing the
Steckade prison at Salisbury, and has
prepared an elaborate plantation
scene. Company B, of the First regi-
ment, will take part, and is to
receive benefit Friday evening, when
Gov. McGill and MOyOr AmeS will be
present, upon which occasion a prize
drill will be given. The full strength
of the company will be given to the pro-
duction, the cast including Edwin Bar
bour, j. B. Brown, Wallace Shaw, Neil
Scully. Miss Marie Wellesley and Miss
Carrie Strong. Altogether there will be
over 100 people in the piece.

THE NEW YORK ASSOCIATION.

The monthly entertainment of the
New York association took place at Cur
tis' hall on Wednesday evening and met
with its usual pleasant success. The

of both vocal and instrumental music.
The feature of the evening was banjo
and guitar solo by MeSsrs. Morse and
singing of Mrs. Dunn and the piano
solos by Miss Jennie Redfeld were of a
very iattering nature and were repeat
eddy encored. A social dance followed
and everyone enjoyed delightful time.
The party was very select and the tot
lets very beautiful.

THE SIN OF OMISSION.
1t isn't the thing you do, dear.

1t isn't the thing you do, dear, :,
It's the thing you leave undone !
Which gives you bit of a heart-ache .
At the setting Of the sun.
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent. dear,
Are your haunting ghosts, tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way,
The bit of heartsonle counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch of the hand. dear,
The gentle and wInsome tone
That you had no time nor thought for,
With troubles enough of your own.
These little acts of kindness,
So easily out of mind,
These chances to be angels
Which even mortals find.-
They come in night and silence,
Each chill, reproachful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging.
And a blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great.
To suffer our slow compassion :
That -tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing you do, dear,
Its the thing you leave undone.
Which gives you the bitter heart-ache
At the setting of the sun.

SANS BUsTLE.

''She looked as fat as pancake, and
it was an elegant gown, too-imported,

.'You don't suppose" 1t was a
quick, startled tone and the women
looked into one another's faces with in
curing awestruck eyes.
"Well, they do say Worth has de-

They make your back ache. There's
nothing I'd like better than to get rid
of them once for all.
1t is the hustle. The edict has not
gone forth, but there is an all-pervasive
notion that it is going. A few Of the
bolder spirits have anticipated it and
the rank and file are waiting for the
signal to return to Ginning gowns. There
are women in straight skirts on the
street. in the horse cars and hanging by
the straps in the aiSles of the elevated
trains. They are the pioneers and their
appearance draws the fire OF a battery
of eyes. Nevertheless they persist and
the chances are the tide of favor and of
fashion is setting on or will shortly set
in their direction. There whispers of
Mrs. -, who presided at a luncheon
in a sspale yellow silk that hung about
her as closely as if she'd just tied sheet

Miss Imogen. who is having her whole

has reached crisis. The fashion lead

it. The second-rate dressers who copy
and exaggerate and imagine that they
originate are bringing it into disrepute
by making it daily bigger than ever.

THE SOUND OF THE SEA.

He tossed about at the dead of night,
No solace came from his pillow;
AS he heard through the mystical wan moon

The surging song of the billow.
1t moaned and walled on the shell-gemmed
shore,
Whereit broke in its leecy madness;
And the dolefulness of its endless roar
Was the music of all his sadness.

And its boundless, wild cadenza-

COMPANY 1 BANQUET.

On Wednesday evening last the newly
elected officers of Company Capt.
Kidder, First Lieut.. Palmer and Second
Lieut.. Thurman-gave banquet to
about forty members of the company at
the Nicollet house, and a delightful
time was enjoyed. The evening was
devoted to speeches, WAR songs and
general merriment. By preconcerted
arrangement, each reporter who called,
on pain of being held in the dining
room, had to make speech, tell lie OF
sing a song, and, by curious coinci-
dence, this was the result: The Pho
neer Press reporter made the speech,
the Tribune man very naturally told the
lie, and the humble seryitor OF the
singing the Mayors Patrol"
