of a Roman soldier in Julius
Caesar" which n great German trag-
edian was playing there. He per.
formed the part satisfactorily several
nights before he discovered Mrs.

in society ut Manchester, n. H., Is

be admitted to that institution, and
the officials OF the poor farm that he
would be cared for ut the expense OF
the county. The same mysterious

communications, for she had written
over his signature asking for informa-
ton, and the replies were genuine.
