IN MEMORIAM.

In memory of Willie Bruce, beloved
son of Mr.. and Mrs. W. r. Eckford,
who died at his parents residence,
Saturday, October II, 1890, aged 7
years and months.
There is no flock, however watched or tended,
But one dead lamb is there
There is no Preside, howso'er defended,
But has one vacant chair!
He is not dead, the child Of our Affection
But gone unto that school
Where he no longer needs our poor protection
And Christ himself doth rule.
In the great closter's stiffness and secluslon,
BY guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sins pollu-
ton,
He lives whom we call dead.
There is no Death What seems so is transi.
ton
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life elysan
Whose portal we call Death.
A LOVING FRIEND

pretty women in an audience of that
size. After the performance the club
adjourned to the Athletic Association

"The Visiting Girl" a story of
Little Rock society, just published by
the author, Miss Jean W. Loughbor-
ough, has found widespread interest
among fashionable circles in this city,
and is already meeting with ready
sale. 1t is said that many prominent
figures in society have seen them
selves las in looking glass" when
reading the book, while others are
eager to get peep and try to catch
a self-refection, since the pictures are
all pleasing and calculated to enhance
the self-esteem of the original. The
only unlovely character in the book
is said to be a fictitious one, thrown
In as background to enhance the
beauties and virtues of the real heroes
and heroines.

A GREAT DRAMA.


The MASK of Life" was produced last
night at the Academy Of Music, and sur Z
passed the most enthusiastic anticipa-
lions. A crowded house showed its ap-
probation, not by frequent hsndclaps,
but by thunders of applause, which
burst forth vehemently at the termina
tion of each act.
The acknowledged star of the drama Is
Miss Annie Mayor. who acts the part OF
Vera in 8 manner at once artistic, emo
tionel and refined. This actress, who has
obtained well-earned favor in several
roles in New York and other cities, Is
vet destined to make an impression,
second to none of the American stars.
Superior intelligence, careful study and
natural refinement characterized her
acting last night. and to say she held the
aud ,ence spell bound throughout, is
expressing it mildly.
Scarcely less able in his own character
was that of J. H. Gilmour as Leon the
hero Of the drama He is full of pathos,
tenderness. emotion, and Is capable OF
exciting the enthusiasm of an audience
TO the highest pitch, or melt it with an
exhibition CT the most intense emotion
The last of the trio demanding special
mention is Frazer Coaltev. as Prince
Oscar, the traitor, whose acting also was
of superior quality. 0dell Williams as
John Brown supplies the comic aspect to
the play very creditably and tbs other
characters are also well maintained
The drama will be presented this and
tomorrow evenings, and matinee will
be given tomorrow afternoon.
The production is worthy Of large
patronage
