of the season greeted charming Fanny
Rice and her talented company last
night. She received rousing welcome
from all, amongst them being many
who are only too delighted to renew
their acquaintance with her. She is
just as inimitable as ever in her
bright and vivscious specialties, and
her company throughout is composed of
clever people.
For curtain raiser Frank Jones and
Ollie Evans gave Offenbsch's pretty
score, called A Little Broom Seller,
which was we'll received.
A jolly Surprise was truly for laugh
ing purposes only, and gave the audi
ence a hearty and genuine laugh over
the absurd perplexities that threatened
to overwhelm Miss Rice as "Violet
Gray" and George f. Edeson as David
Bradbur." Mr.. Edeson presented his
role in admirable style, as also did
Melville Stewart as "Chsrles Carroll"
B. MeDonough as "a. j. Hustler" and
the balance of the company. The big
house OF last night will no doubt be re-
peated tonight.

UNITY CHURCH "A very interesting
lecture upon the Manners and Customs
of India was delivered last evening by
Mr.. Sddhu Ram.
The gentleman is native of India,
coming from the town of Mooltan, in
the province of Punjab.
He and his brother, Mr.. Jundu Ram,
are lawyers and we're sent to this coun-
try last year by the Indian government
as the representatives. of that country
at the international Religious congress
that was held in Chicago during the
worlds fair. At the conclusion of the
congress they decided to travel through
this country and make a study of the
American customs. During the course
OF their travels they deliver lectures.
Mr.. Ram said last evening that the
Vedic religion was the oldest in ex-
istence, and on it rested all others. 1t
was founded en- knowledge and science,
and believed in the omnipotence and
omnipresence OF God. The word hindoo
had been conferred on the people of
India by the Mahommedans when they
conquered that country. IL meant
black slave or a thief. The people OF
India were generally race OF idol wor-
shippers, and in their religion required
sacrifices, pilgrimsges and other Gus
toms 10 be observed. They suffered
greatly from the selishness OF the priest
or brahma, and had deity for each of
the more than the 1856, 900, 900 souls in
the country.
