The Still Alarm at the Academy o.
Music.

''The Still Alarm at the Academy of
Music.
1t was a big audience that greeted
the company who produced "a Still
Alarm at the new Academy of Music
last night, and the company and the
play deserved the greeting they got.
The scenery is excellent, the play good
and the acting all that could be de-
sired. The support given Mr.. Lacy
was very good, and the dramatic
effect of introducing a team of beauti-
full horses and a fire engine was very
taking. There are four acts in the
play, and in each one an opportunity
is given all the performers to do good
work, and it is generally done. Sew
eral times Mr.. Lacy was called before
the curtain by the delighted audi
ence.
The company will give a perform
ance every night this week and at the
Saturday matinee.

g Revamp the old issue"

SOME interesting disclosures in re-
gard to eloquence, have been made by
DR.. E. G. Towne, of Washington, in
a controversy which he has begun
with Chauncey NJ. Depew, con-
corning q claim for payment for
material furnished the great ora
tor for his Centennial address. Ac-
cording to Dr. Towne's version, an
orator is filed with hard facts, just as
a boiler is filed with water or a bag
pipes with wind, and then he gets up
and crates. Now that Mr.. Depew's
eloquence has been explained, per-
haps somebody will disclose the
source of his funny stories and mex
haustible interviews.

One of the oldest of our church So
cieties is the Ladies' Aid, of st. Pauls,
which has been in a fiourishing condi-
ton for many years. Of course, it has
known many vicissitudes, but none
have been sufficiently disastrous to
prove more than a passing cloud, and
now the society stands foremost in
charitable work.
The meetings of this society are held
once a month, but during the winter,
in connection with the Ladies' Aid,
was a Dorcas Society, which met
every Wednesday afternoon in the
church parlor. This portion of the
society does most excellent work, and
a large amount of clothing for poor
children has been made and distrib-
uted. Not only clothing, but many
other necessities are provided for
those who are not able to procure
them in any other way, and poor
families have much reason to be
thankful for the good work.
The meetings of the Dorcas are very
pleasant affairs, and the ladies greatly
enjoy the good work they do. The
officers are Mrs. j. I'll. Merritt, Mrs.
Ezra Soper and Miss Atkinson, who
manage affairs in an efficient manner
The membership is sixty-fve, but not
all are active workers.
Mrs. Ezra Soper has for a long time
been the acknowledged leader in all
the plans and work, either for the
good of the church or the poor. No
work is arranged in which she does not
take an active part, and a large share
of the success of the society is due to
her untiring efforts. Mrs. Soper is a
woman of keen intellect and pleasant,
affable manner, and is well calculated
to fill a position where tact is needed
to keep things running smoothly.
Working steadfastly with Mrs. So
per is Mrs. Merritt, who is always on
the alert to find some way of con-
ferring a benefit to other people. In
the treasury there is always a good
amount of money. Festivals are
given and other entertainments, from
which they realize generally consider
able amounts. The dues from the
members also add from ten to twelve
dollars each month to the funds,
which are generally used for current
church expenses.
But a short time ago these busy
workers completely furnished the par
sonage of the church and made out of
it a pretty dwelling. The furniture is
tasteful and handsome, and the in
terror of the house as complete as it is
possible for one to be. Other ex-
penses are being continually met by
the funds of the society, and the
church finds it a never-failing stand
by, always ready and always willing
to do whatever there is to be done.
Some of the ladies who are particu-
larly active in the work of the society
are Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Pearsall, Mrs. Will
lam Allen, Mrs. g. A. Jackson, Mrs.
Whitton, Mrs. beats, Mrs. Tillotson,
Mrs. Ryder, Mrs. j. r. Brown and
Mrs. Chamberlain.
