twin cities last summer, has already
written to a lady to secure stopping
places for herself and four companions,
all school-marms. And several other
young ladies in different parts of the
country, have expressed determine
ton to enjoy the well-known hospital
ity of st. Paul and Minneapolis during
the coming summer, The beaux have
begun to save up for their hard earnings
to lavish on the bells ere the leaves
begin to turn.
"A FEW days ago a number of the
young members and friends of Pilgrim
Baptist Church, organized the Young
Peoples Social Club, for the purpose of
giving weekly sociables at different
members houses, the proceeds of the
same to be expended for charitable
purposes. The officers are: Miss Ida
Mink, president; Miss Courteney Dover,
vice president; Miss Rena Bradbury;
secretary; and Mr. w. M. jenkins,
chaplin; Mr.. John T. Raymond, general
manager. The first sociable was given
last Thursday night, at tue residence of
Mrs. George Adams, No. "a Sixth St.
and was an unqualified success. The
house was crowded and all present had
an enjoyable time. Music, singing and
harmless games were INDUCED. The
refreshments furnished were first class
and were bountiful. It is safe to pre-
dict that much good will be done by the
club. A snug sum of money was real
lied from the sociable.
ALL next week commencing Monday,
April Is, Jas. O'Neill in Monte Cristo,
at the Grand. This great work as pre-
scented by Mr.. James O'Neill must sure
ly rank as one ofthe greatest successes
OF modern productions. Everybody
who has read Dumas romance has
sometime made Edmund Dantes a
hero. The impersonation Of that hero
becomes then a matter Of popular in
terest and when played as James o.
Neill plays it, a matter of popular de-
light. Mr.. O'Neill's Monte Cristo is a
most excellent piece Of acting. He is
an earnest actor it is an evidc 1T fact
that his heart is i'll his work. The yery
ranging points of Monte Cristo's life he
treats with skill and naturalness. He
brings to bear upon his work a ripe ex-
perlence, sound judgement and a
signal mastery of his art. His company
is large and has been carefully selected.
The scenery is entirely new. MI.
Gaspard Marden, the we'll known scenic
artist, having consumed nearly three
months in it's completion. One thing
that deserves especial mention is that
this wonderful drama was written by a
Colored man, Alexander Dumas.
