"Leah, the Foraker. D

Few performances given at Cordray's1 have
been better staged than "Leah, the ForsaSen."
and few title roles have been presented with
greater art and talent than that of Leah by Miss
Blanche Mortimer. This lady Is not Only well
schooied in the intricaces of her profession.
but she is possessed Of keen intelligence sld ID
an apt student of human nature. As thee sun
ny-hearted girl, radiant with the dawn OF III en-
nobling love, she sheds the influence OF. deli
cate sentiment all around her, and as the be-
trayed, broken hearted, abject creature Vhose
idol has been shattered into fragments. shs goes
out into the pitiless storm carrying Witt her
the sympathy OF the audience, while she eIcires
contempt for her inconstant lover. Miss Aorti-
mer was heartily applauded last night AND de-
served even greater than she received. Frank
Z. Jamison is doing splendid work in the part
OF Nathan, and is one OF the best heavy cfsarac-
ter actors who has as yet appeared on the Cor
dray stage. The auditorium bill continues to
attract 4 full hail.

spirit and the enthusiastic audience, nos con-
tent with an almost continuous laugh asd in
Vulnerable bursts of applause, insisted on
several curtain calls. The roll of Tippest was

BILE and thoroughly acceptable. Mr.. Edwgrd NJ.
Bell, handsome enough to be the idol q the
matinee girl. has fine stage presence, is
finished actor and made an admirable feil Tor
Tippett in his Interpretation of Newton. Miss
Mabel Bert is a regal beauty, and rs Mrs lrppett
was an ideal wife, all tenderness and dev9tion.
Mr.. Harry Allen is one OF the hest old raen OF
the stage, and as Uncle bunker he was as good
and benign and meddlesome the geiuine

upon the subject of Electricity, before

nesday evening of last week.
Mr.. /. n. Crab, of Fort Scott, who is
introducing a number of valuable
Teachers Aids" has been with us
this week.
The lecture on "FOrms and Faces, +"
in chalk and charcoal, by Mr.. Geo. Z.
Little, was a great treat to all who at
tended. The lessons were among the
most valuable ever given the Institute.
So great was the interest taken that
every note book one may chance to pick
UP now is filled with drawing models.
IL is the earnest wish of all that we
may again receive course in drawing
under the able instruction of Mr.. Lit
tie.
In fullfillment of promise made to
the Institute recently, Prof. Picken
entertained US Tuesday with a series
of experiments illustrating the appli-
cations of electricity. Mr.. Picken, with
the assistance of Mr.. Barber, was en-
inently successful in his efforts, and
several years in the future we would
not be surprised to see the placard,
'Picken d Barber, Electrical En-
gineers.n
The smiling countenance and genial
mien of DR.. John Mcdonald contributed
to the animation of our respondent
natures last Tuesday morning: His
lecture on Robert Burns,n that even
