| MRS. Jarley' and her waxworks received
quite an ovation from the Sewickley public
| last evening. She held her reception or gave
her exhibition at cozy little Choral Hall, which
was filled with the wealth and fashion of the
| burg. The Osburn Orchestra rendered some
| delightful selections while the audience was
being seated by Messrs. C. H. Little
| H. s. Winters and ]. K Gaston
who officiated as ushers. The stage
was generously bedecked with placards
| testifying to the popularity of the farley Wax
| Works, which was entirely unnecessary, as the
| warm applause that greeted each group was
| proof conclusive of the esteem in which they
were held by the Sewickey 400, Mrs. George
| A. Gormley, in an old-fashIoned English gown
| of extensive flowered pattern, and a black bon
| net of immense proportions, with an adrolt
| dropping of and adding of the letter 'h to
| her words, made an irresistible Mrs. farley,
and with the assistance of Miss Daisy Miller as
Little Nell" w. w. Cunningham as "George,"
| and Colin f. Reed as Peter" succeeded in dis
playing her wonderful collection to great ad-
vantage.

rated very nicely over the muddy crossing that
"Sr Walter Raleigh" spread out his royal
cloak. Miss Osburn as Lady Macbeth"
with candle. which Mrs. Jar
ley" said they forgot to light,
examined the great red spot on her hand in
very realistic manner. Miss Graft, as Queen
Eleanor" insisted upon Miss Detweiler, as the
Far Rosamond," embracing death with either
dagger or bowl of poison. MIR. Harry Rich
ardson, as ''Confucius," delighted everyone
and manipulated the fan and parasol quite
artistically. Mr.. James Gilmore, as Richard

frightening the maiden and some of the youth

swept the cobwebs from the imagin-
arg sky, and Mr.. Fred Irwin as The
Drummer Boy of SHILOH created quite
sensation, and when Mrs. Jarley"
realizing that he was a favorite ordered her
assistants to wind him up again, he refused to
work, much to the good lady's astonshment
and disgust of Peter" and George" but nu-
merous oil cans and working of joints put him
in good order again. Mr.. William Kinder, as
blue Beard" cruelty mistreated Miss Lulu
Blair, his victim. Mr.. F. Standish, as "Tom,
the Piper's Son." and Miss M. Porter, as
Dolly, the Milkmaid," were very amusing. A

the world than the original Nellie did, in spite
of her jerky notions. |
Mrs. Jarley's Dream" concluded the even |
ing's entertainment, which was one of the most |
enjoyable given this season in the valley. and |
which enriched the Golfers of the Methodist |
church in no small degree. The costumes of |
the characters were rich and accurate.
