The Humorist and Poet at the Chestnut
Street Opera House.

Street Opera House.
Edgar w. Nye, known to fame as bill
Nye' the humOrist. and James Whit
comb Riley, the "Hoosier" poet. delighted
a large audience in the Chestnut Street
Opera House, Philadelphia, yesterday
afternoon. It was difficult to Judge
which gentleman was more favored by
the audience; both were received warmly.
Bill Nye told Of the dogs and Members
Of Congress he had associated with, and
read from a school book of forty years
ago, an original story written by himself
Mr.. Riley gave dialect poem Rotations,
which were at the same time humorous
and pathetic. The poem, describing the
bravery Of farmer boy in the late war
and the love his father had for him.
brought tears to the eyes of many in the
audience. Mr.. Nye's school book story
Of the 7-year-old boy who supported his
mother and eighteen children and his
brother-in-law by digging wells because
he was educated, won him a recall. He
apologized, but said that as such a thing
had never occurred before, he was unpre
pared for it.
