A constantly increasing audience greets
Mr.. c. Z. Bolton at Plymouth Oh urch in
his superb journeys in Europe. Last even
ing the Scotch and Irish OF To-Day" was
enjoyed immensely, and Paris and the
French Republic" promises to be even
more entertaining. as Paris is a dream
that the world expects to realize. Paris
is the Mecca of all tourists, the home of
French kings for twelve centuries. tho GEN.
ter of European civilization, the most
cosmopolitan city in the world. Mr..
Bolton has lived long in Paris. and will
bring his best efforts as guide. His views
are the finest in America. 1t is worth q
journey to Europe to walk tho forty-eight
acres Of art galleries called the Louvre, to
visit palaces. parks and see monuments
and boulcvards of beautiful Paris. The
lecturer promises an acquaintance with
Gambetta. Victor Hugo. Sadi Carnot,
president Of the French republic, and
other distinguished personages.

There are mysteries in human Life. never
to speak Of human destiny, which are be-
yond the grasp of the most learned psy.
chologist. Nor have they been explained,
nor can they be explained by the best
skilled in physical science. The phe-
nomena of telesthesia and telepathy may
be mentioned among these. Both have
occurred in tho history Of lives myster.
iously linked by some unseen and unde-
fined connection, through which both
feeling and perception are conducted. The
story Of '"rhe Corsican Brothers is only
an illustration Of many cases Of actual oc-
renee, jim which two individuals
have been thousands of miles apart.
and yet each mutually sensitive of
any misfortune or serious calamity
that has befallen the other. In addition
to the somber coloring which such a mys-
terry gives the story of this notable roman
tic tragedy, the material of the story itself
contributes still greater gloom to the gen.
eral effect. 1t is therefore a piece that
must be skillfully produced in order to re-
lieve the mind of the auditor by the artis-
tic introduction of contrast. The curtain
raiser. usually adopted. was eliminated at
Cordray's last night and several special
features were introduced instead. The re-
suit was extremely diverting, but it was
inartistic, as the presupposed rapid action
Of the play was interrupted. Overlooking
this, however, and viewing the presenta-
ton - 1t was given by the Cordray COM
pany, there is much praise due. OF course
the great burden of the piece fell to Clay
Clement, who appeared As Louis and
Fabien di Franchi Anyone familiar with
these characters knows that Louis is as
sensitive a. . woman, brave as q lion, hon.
orabie and without stain. fall of poesy. sem
timent and devoted affection; knows that
Fabien il q man Of strong purpose, Of
resolute irmness. fierce determination and
implacable hatred, softened by . great
filial and fraternal love. The contrast was
we'll drawn by Mr.. Clement last night, and
he exchanged the characters with that ease
and distinction which only long study,
laborious practice and finished art could
achieve. The great duel scene in tho
forest of Fontainbleau was highly
dramatic, and the episode stood out, as it
should, the most prominent climax in tho
performance. Frank E. Jamison deserves
much praise for his Interpretation of NJ.
Chateau Renaud. This accomplished roue
was always the accomplished gentleman,
with the single and rightful exception of
his insult to Madame de Lesparre. Miss
Adelaide Fitz Allan and Miss Kara Ken.
wyn were both excellent in the parts of
Emily de Lesparre and Madame Sarilia
di Franchi. Thomas Quinn and Milton
Lipman characterised NJ. Alfred Meynard
and Baron Montgiron very faithfully.
Space forbids a detailed mention of those
who creditably sustained the remaining
parts. The performance is not only q
noteworthy. but . very talented one, and
should meet with liberal patronage. The
orchestra selection was much appreciated,
and the auditorium performance elected
great applause.

An Idaho Murder Trial.

BOISE, Idaho, April 10-An interesting
murder trial began here today. it being
the case of Howard French, charged with
the murder of q convict named Hat
ton. French was a turnkey at tho
state prison on December 16 and he
had a difficulty with Hatton and
killed him with q dirk knife. The EVIL
dence at the coroner's inquest seemed to
fully vindicate the turnkey, going to show
that the convict assaulted him with a
paddock. and that his life was in
danger when he struck tho fatal
blow. The evidence adduced before tho
late grand Jury. however, it is said. has
put an entirely new phase on the case.
French was indicted, and the work of
selecting jury occupied the court today.
The ablest lawyers in the state are engaged
on both sides.

OPEN AIR SERVICES.

On Popular Demand for Sunday Even
ing Lawn Services.
Sunday evening open air services are be
coming very popular in the towns of the
Peninsula. Rev. " Collins, of Centreville,
Md. preached last Sunday evening on the
court house green to large and highly
appreciative audience. The Epworth
League of the church made the necessary
arrangements for the holding of the service.
The Methodist pastor of Milford has an
nounced twilight services in the open
air. These are indications Of practical
sense in church work. Why swelter within
heated brick walls and under iron roof
these oppressively hot evenings when the
delightful open air can be enjoyed We
commenced the wisdom of these out door
services being held each Sabbath evening
by our Methodist pastor. The public ar.
probation was clearly indicated by the large
attendance last Sabbath evening. Larger
seating accommodations is needed and no
doubt will be provided.
