for Il speedy marriage Of the Young pair,
when the happy prospective bride took
sick and died The grief of the Young
man was dry eyed but terrible when he
saw his loved one arrayed for the bridal
of death instead Of for a union with him

Others would sit or stand where he de
clared her to be. Finding that he was
rapidly sinking under this peculiar de

lady in clothes that were an exact coun-

they presented Damon and Pythias',

tuning and stage appurtenances were
elegant. Chas. King, as Damon, -
showed that his long years of exper-
fence have not been misused. The
character is one requiring much heavy
work, and Mr.. King did it justice in
every particular. E. Elba Wright,

Central Normal College, is in receipt
of many compliments for the excellent
manner in which he represented
"Pythias." Considering the drawbacks
