A Fairy story Told in raDleaux.

Sykesville sustained her reputation for ar
tistlc entertainments in charming represrn
tation of the old fairy tale of "Cinderela;"
given in a series of tableaux at Harris's Hall,
on Thursday evening, June 2lst. The chsr-
acters were impersonated by the children Of
the town and vicinity, and prettier group of
pictures it would be hard to find than those
made by the little folk in their quaint dresses,
powdered hair, glittering shoe buckles and
cavalier cloaks. The story was told from
Cinderella's pathetic petition to be allowed to
90 to the ball, through the enchantment by
the fairy godmother; the midnight hour in the
ball room, where Cinderella drops her slip
per, the search for the owner of the slipper,
and finally the wedding. 1t is hard among so
many beautiful scenes to discriminate in favor
Of any one. but wo or three deserve special
mention, notable the ball room scene. All
the characters posed for the "Minuet," Ia
really artistry picture;) the stroke of mid
night, when the prince is discovered with the
lost slipper in his hand, and all the guests
gathered eagerly around; the scene in which
the slipper is placed upon Cinderella's foot
and lifts" and finally the wedding scene, a
grand finale, in which the fairy godmother
appears and gives the young couple her bless
ing. The children taking part were Miss
Mamie Norwood, Cinderella; Master Willie
Hepner, Prince; Miss Beulah McCrone, God
mother; Misses Beulah Bauer, Gertrude Fa-
YOUR, Elsie Philinger, Sisters; Masters Stan
ley Harris, Lloyd Macgill and Bert Barnes.
Courtiers. Each tableau was accompanied
by appropriate music. After the tableaux
there followed an ice cream and cake festival,
the whole entertainment being under the
auspices ofthe ladies ofthe Sykesyille Library
Association; the result of which has been
marked success, both artistically and finan'
cially. The association at late meeting
rendered vote of thanks to Mr.. John Harris
for his donation of the hall, and to the ladies
and gentlemen who rendered assistance in
various ways

Dr. John d. Kremien, who was tried in Bal
timore, last week, for causing the death OF
John Fore, or Herman Haubuch, by ad-
ministering poison to him, which is the most
deliberate kind of murder known to the law,
and in which it would appear there could be
but verdict only of murder in the first de-
gree or of not guilty, was decided on Saturday
night by verdict for manslaughter The
Baltimore papers speak of it as very singu-
lar case. The American saying The YER
dict is astonishing. 1t is well-known prin-
ciple of law, that a man cannot be tried twice
| for the same offense, that his life cannot be
put in jeopardy the second dme, and IN case
the verdict was set aside, Kremien would. of
course, go free upon the charge OF murder.
For this reason Judge Harlan, if he could see
his way clear to do so, would, no doubt, re-
fuse to sustain the motion to set aside the
verdict. Under the law, the maximum pen
atty for manslaughter is ten years in the
peuitentiary. DIR. Kremien could be tried
for the forgery of Forces will, and, if con-
veted, could be sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary. The question presented is
rather knotty one all round.
