The Kermoise Is accomplished. and Is
but glitterlng gorgeous memory. The
efforts of such goodly throng
Of people for so many busy weeks are
crowded in their contamination into one
little span, and all is told. Although
the Kermoise is now relegated to the
past, "the good" will not ''be inferred
with its bones"-the proud reputation
that 1t has made Will live after 1t In the
recollection of a Wheeling public for
many day to come, and the new City
Hospital will receive from it financial
benefit that will be lasting and sub
stantial. Indeed, the hearty patronage
which the enterprise has received must
be highly gratifying to everybody in
anyway connected with the KermoiSe.
Prof. Speedy, as well as Mrs. Joseph
Speidel, one of the pricipal promoters OF
the affair, have been faithful unto the
end, giving constant attention TO the
work, and never wearying in well doing
for an instant; upon the efficient shout
ders of Mrs. j. T. Merriman, chairman
OF the Entertainment Committee, the
bulk of the burden and the response
bility of the concern rested, and theirs
should be the credit for large proper
tion of the success OF the entertainment.
The interested cooperation, however,
of many other ladies was an important
factor. There was marked improve
ment in the dances at each repetition OF
the affair, greater ease and aplomb man
tested, until at the final performance
the participants seemed thoroughly at
home upon the stage, and everything
was in the most beautiful working Or
der. The Kermoise, taking it "up one
way and down anothor," was fully up to
the public's most sanguine expectation,
and the Kermoisers may feel gratitied
at the encomiums bestowed upon them.

Little Irene Franklyn, the sweet
little actress who played the part OF
Edith" in "The Burglar" recently
produced at the Opera House, and who
so successfully elected the favor of all
who saw her, is not quite seven years OF
age, but she talks like an ingenue. Lit
tie Irene made her debut in Hearne's
"Hearts of Oak" when she was seven
months old. She did not again appear
on the stage until she was three and
half years old. Her first speaking part
was "Adrienne" in "a Celebrated
Case" Then she played with Minnie
Palmer in "Sweehearts," and then with
Pete Baker. She used to introduce
specialtes in his plays. Little Miss
Franklin has never seen the inside OF
school building, but 1t is evident her
education has not been neglected. She
can write and read and talk like little
old woman.
Nine. de Stael was exceedingly anx-
ious to find out whether Prince Talley-
rand preferred her to another lady, and
one day bethought herself Of asking
him: "Suppose 1 and Nine. y. both
fell into the river at once, which would
you pull out first?" But Talleyrand
was not to be thus drawn; for, put
ting on his most gallant smile. he ex-
claimed: "Ah, madam, you, am sure,
would know how to swim like a naiad!"
