Miss Sadia Whiteford, who is claimed
to be the youngest tragedienne on the
American stage, won the plaudits OF
her hearers by the graceful and delicate
touches in her role of the innocent
Grecian character, "Parthenia," acted

session. She was adapted to her char
acter and the character was adapted to

his strength and manhood, he gave

much the writer knows about it. but |
will venture to call the attention of
your readers to some things he has
stated that they will know to be gross

an empty treasury and the necessity
of borrowing millions of dollars to
meet the extravagant appropriations.

support the government must be had
from some quarter. 1t is probably felt
as little in a small percentage on sugar
as on anything upon which it could be
laid. AS the refneries buy up the
cargOes they of course have this duty
to pay, and while every dollar goes to
