and a packed gallery gathered at the
Academy of Music last night 10 witness
the first presentation Of Mr.. Gillelte's

constructed romance of the late civil
conflict. which appeals at once 10 the
sympathy Of any audience. The only
point Of unnaturalress abOut II Is
that it makes two beautiful Southern
girls fall in love with two
Yankees, while their home was being
held by the enemy. No matter how
much the South aud North have been
bound in matrimonial ties since the war

that such an occurrence was next t0 in
possible at the time at ws.ich the scene
of this play is laid
/; isa good play, however, well put on
the stage, and admirably presented by
the entire cast The hero OF the
piece. Colonel Charles Prescott, was
finely rendered by Mr.. Sheridan S. Block
while Thomas Henry Bean, the indefati-
gable newspaper man, was excellently
portrayed by Mr. J. J. Farrell. Among
the ladies' Miss Minnie DuPree as Susan,
and Miss Mary Mills rs Rachel, oaptiva'
ted all hearts by their grace and beauty
and artistic acting, while Miss Alice Gray
as the maiden aunt, Euphemia, was ex-
ceedingly good.
The play will be produced tonight and
at matinee tomorrow and tomorrow
night. 1t il worthy Of full houses, and
has been received with enthusiasm where
ever it has been presented.

ST. PAUL. January IA great deal
OF sol!ciiude is felt for the people Of
Browns Valley, village OF 1900 souls
IN Traverse county, MINI, on the border
OF Dakota. The place is in the region
where casualties were greatest in the
blizzard OF last Thursday, and no reports
have been received directly from there

cut of. On Sunday man walked from
Browns VALLEY to Beardslee, . miles
away, and reported that there was neither
a pound OF coal nor stick OF tirewood
in the village, and that the sufYerings OF
the people could not be estimated. He
said that after burning NIL their own fuel
they made a raid upon the Manitoba
round house and conliscated all coal
stored there. When this was exhausted
the railroad buildings were torn down
and chopped into firewOoi. After telling
his story the man begged sack OF ccal,
and tranped back TO his family.
