VARIED BY INTERESTING NUMBERS OF
LITERARY NATURE
The Union A. 0. 0. W. Entertainment al the Opera
House Last Night Financial and
Artistic Success,

Whether considered in an artistic or
financial sense, the union entertain
ment under the auspices OF four local
lodges of the Ancient Order Of United
Workmen, which was given at the OPP
era House last night, was fattering
success. The attendance was large and
the humble upon the programme were
rendered in a manner which would have
done credit to professionals.
The programme for the evening was
opened with neatly worded address OF
welcome by Rev. r. Rush Swope. The
speaker also spoke OF the aims and OBJ
iects OF the order, and promised mu-
steal and literary treat in the pro-
gramme for the evening. II live and
love thee" was rendered in a pleasing
manner by Messrs. Day and Metcaf.
Miss Cornell, the whistlinR soloiSt,
fully sustained the envable reputation
which preceded her, and richly merlted
the encore which she received.
Miss Carroll, an elocutionist OF no
mean ability, rendered selection In
manner which elected loud applause.
The Carnival" was sung with splen-
did effect by Miss Grace Updegraff, a
Soloist who never fails TO please Wheel
lug audiences. Mr.. ]. z. Morgan, the
talented young elocutonist, recited
The Corsican," rather difficult Sc
lection, but his rendition left nothing
to be desired. Mr.. Charles Zulauf was
next heard in one OF the selections
which have earned for him the distinc-
tion Of being one Of the most popular
singers in the city.
Mr.. Robert Darrah recited 1.-The
Chariot Race from Ben Hur," one OF the
most pleasing numbers upon pro-
gramme OF general excellence. 1t rs
not often that the public is privileged
to hear Mrs. NJ. E. Whitaker. Her solo
last evening, "Nua Voce POGO Fa, was
an artistic gem. The first part of the
programme was brought to close by the
tric, The Marines, in which the voices
OF Miss Updegraf, and Messrs. Zulauf
and Day blended in delightful harmony.
The Premier Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar
club rendered several selections.
The entertainment concluded with
mock trial, in which Saraphenia Frivol
was plaintiff. and the Evening NeiUs de-
PENDANT araphenia, the Singing Swan
of Agueyille," was tmpersonated by Mr..
Frank Diuger. Miss Maypole, fair, fat
and forty, was sustained by Mr.. G.. w.
Connnell. The two blushing young
ladies created no end of amusement by
their conduct during the hearing Of the
evidence.
S. O. Boyce, Esq, clad in his judicial
robes, made an excellent judge. Depu-
ty Sheriff Mccullough acted as Sheriff
and Mr.. Brilles as Clerk of the Court.
Capt. 3. b. Dovener appeared for the
plaintiff and Mr.. q. w. Atkinson for
the defendant The jury was selected
with reference to their lack of conscien-
tious scruples and general willingness
to serve their country-for consider
alton.
The evidence was OF the side-spltting
variety, and the comments of counsel
and the judge, were very amusing.
When the arguments we're concluded,
the case was given to the jury. The
Jury failed To agree, and the case will be
tried again tonight.
