The PLAY AT THE PARK.
"Tsn Nights in Bar Room" 10 Close the Sea-
SIN There This Week.

The Melville Dramatic Company, who
established themselves in popularity at the
Park Theater last week, will also play the
concluding engagement of the season there
this week, presenting q revival of O once
very popular and always interesting play,
Ten Nights in a Bar-roOm." This is the
principal drama in the repertoire of the
company, and their success with it in other
cities has led to putting it on here for an
sntire week.
Tins play and the book from which it was
dramatized have had a peculiar history.
The book was written many years ago by
Il. :. Arthur, q rabid temperance man of
Philadelphia. lie had an enormous sale,
and even at this late day there is a contin-
nous demand for IL. Several years later
little transforming company was playing
through New England TO very bad BUSH
ness and the manager, q man named Bid
we'll was in desperate straits. He hap
pened to read this book and got one of his
actors q brilliant but dissipated man
named w. w. Pratt. to dramatic il. He
did it IN one night, erudeiy, TO be sure, but
the play made an instantaneous hit, and
since then 10 has been presented thousands
and thousands of times. It Is q much
stronger and more interesting play than the
average meIodrama Of to-day and its moral
is q striking and ever pertinent one. Ten
Nights in q Bar-room" has been playe ed In
many languages and in many countries.

FL0KER DAY.
The Services Somewhat Curtailed-Address
BY the President

Arrangements had been made for floral
services yesterday afternoon at Roberts
Park Church, but the absence of Judge
Harper. who was expected to address the
meeting, together with that of
several of the singers. cut the

handsome setting for flowers that have
been planted by the members Of
the Epworth League. About one
week ago the work of spading
the beds began. and yesterday all were fin
ished A particularly beautiful one is In
the southwest corner of the yard. and is in
the shape of q Maltese GROSS, which is the
leagues emblem. A large bed IN the
form OF star was put In
tho northwest corner. Others, eleven in

Sung at the meeting. and John A. Wilkins.

address. The services were held in the
