THESPIS' DISCIPLES.
The Auditorium Dramatic Company
Scores Great Hit.
MLiss" Presented to the Satisfaction
of the Large Audience.

VI VIC hdl Sc 0uNlCuOO,
Nothing but praise has been heard for
tbe excellent manner in which the Aud
itorium Dramatic Company put "M'Liss,
The Waif of the Sierras," on the boards
last Wednesday evening, and the ex-
pressions heard are truly hattering to
each and every member OF the company.
And the audience was not one that would
praise simply because the players were
from their midst, but many seats were
flled with strangers, and they, without
exception, spoke in the highest terms
df the presentation.
"NPLiss' is lively, captivating COM
edv-drama, and the main features and
climaxes were brought out last Wednes-
day night in way that would have
made the authors heart glad. Mrs.
Minnie Sargent, who had the title role,
added new laurels to her wreath, and
made an enhancing "M'Liss." No one
had ever thought that d. X. Proud had
the william in him, but that part was well
carried by him, and the "greaser" dia-
lect came from his lips easily and
smoothly. Len Richardson, as "Bum-
mer Smith, =" wasn't actually drunk, al
though he acted the part SO we'll that
many were almost ready to believe that
he had "flled up" for the occasion.
And so we might continue through the
entire cast, but suffice is to say that not
one fell short of the fondest hopes of his
or her friends, and each added to the
general success Of the entertainment.
The magnificent stage setting and
scenery won the admiration OF the aud
ience, and when the stage coach, drawn
by real flesh an4 blood horses, appeared
on the scene, applause was unlimited.
The company can be assured of good
and appreciative audience on its every
appearance, and the public will anXiously
look forward to another play by it.
S. b. Letson, of this city, has pur-
chased the crab apple tree, mention of
the lruit OF which was made in the HER
AID few weeks ago, of w. W. Hodges,
and will proceed to propagate the new
variety OF apple. The fruit IS distinctly
new, and will be valuable addition to
the orchards OF the country. The apple,
which is Il Seeding, is entirely devoid OF
core or seed, and for preserving could not
be improved upon. The tree has been
transplanted to the Letson property, in
this city, which in itself is an interesting
experiment, as it is five inches through
