The Guests Give . Deiightful Entertain-
ment Saturday Evening.
The people living at the Warwick
Hotel had y most enjoyable entertain
ment on Saturday evening. Two OF the
ladies. Miss Trask and Mrs. j. A. Con-
zalez. had prepared program Of tab
leaux and pantomines with appropriate
readings; and allthe arrangements were
designed with exquisite taste and were
performed in an artistic manner. The
frat part of the evening was devoted to
q representation of certain chapters of
Longfellow's Hiawstha. The first
scene was "Hiawatha's Wooing," in
which the dusky young warrior disre-
CARDS the advice OF old Nokomis TO
s'wed q daughter of his people" and goes
gelivanting TO the ''land of the Dako-
tas. woes Minnehaha and brings her
home with him. During the acting of
the pantomIme. j. IL. Thomas read the
poem. The second scene was the
wedding. All were dressed in brilliant
Indian costumes and the picturesque
galety OF the affair was much enhanced
by the artistic dancing OF George
Williams as Paupukeewis. Then fol-
lowed the death scene when famine
and fever come to the wigwam, and
Minnehaha, Laughing Water, is called
away "to the Kingdom Of Ponemah, to
the land of the hereafter"
The participants In this part of the
program were Charles McLaiu as Hia-
watha, Miss Mccoy as Minnehaha, &. E.
Westlake, George Williams and Mrs.
BOtsford, Mrs. +. Z. Tabor, Mrs. Carder,
Mrs. Mason and Mr.. Halcomb. A ver-
itable Indian wigwam was Get up in the
corridor and the scenes were depicted
with reality that was simply charm
ing.
The first of the tableaux was repre-.
sentation of "Bluebeard's wives" by
Mesdanles Sessions, Thomas, Blake,
Remington, Carder, and Miss Palmer.
The second was "Over the Garden
Wall" by Miss Minnie White and Clark
III. Gleason. Then followed 'Raph-
aePs Cherubs." represented by Pros
ecIting Attorney w. II. Mcknight and
DIR. w. II. White. The gentlemen were
arrayed in cherubic costumes-slightly
modified and as their sweet baby
faces and lovely blue eyes beamed
above the Pardisean parapets the
scene was like an artists dream.
The whispered chorus of obs and
abs from the audience were more elo-
quent than the loudest applause could
have been. Then followed beautiful
ailegorical representation, entitled
symphony" 1t was represented by
Mrs. DIR. White, Mrs. Lizzie White,
Misses Hattie Smith, McTavish and
MARITIME, all arrayed in beautiful Greek
costumes and holding musical instru-
ments. The grouping was highly ar
tIstic and the effect most charming.
Meditation" was represented by a
little darkey in close companionship
with gigantic watermelon. The Sec
ond scene showed the boy with good
share of the melon absorbed into his
system. The last or colicky stage was
omitted because the melon gave out
before producing the desired effect.
The "Heavenly Way" was another ex-
quisite allegorical representation given
IN three scenes. The ladies partici-
pating were Miss Jennie Deary, Mrs.
Crawford and Mrs. q. b. Catlln. Pro-
fessor Carman was present with cal
cium light apparatus and made the
scenes wonderfully beautiful by the
use of colored lights. Mr.. Thomas pre-
sided ut the piano and rendered de-
lightful music during the tableaux.
