-Holcombe Hall was crowded on We'd
nesday evening last, TO witness the pre-.
sentation of the popular Irish drama
"Shamroch and Rose" by the young peo-
pie of ST. Johns church, and the perfor
nance surpassed any amateur dramatic
entertainment ever given in this city. The
play is beautiful story OF love aud war,
the scenes of which are laid midst the
romantic vale of county Wicklow, Ire
land during the period OF the Irish insur-
recton of 1898, and abounds in thrilling
and humorous situation, pathetic scenes,
etc., that afford ample opportunity for
the display of elocutionary and dramatic
ability.
The cast selected proved 10 be admira
bly, adapted for the parts assigned, as
was attested by the applause bestowed on
the young performers by every one pre-
sent. Miss Elizabeth Hennessy as eileen
O'Rourke," was exceptionally fine and
her sweet face and voice captivated the
audience Miss Kate Carmody as "Rose
Fitzgerald" did very well, exhibiting ell
ocutonary powers of marked ability,
while Miss Margaret Cavanaugh made an
excellent "Maud Desmond" Thomas o.
Brien as "John Desmond, the outlawed
patriot, filled this difficult part TO perfec-
ton. John A. McNuty, as esquire Fiz-
gerald" was excellent. John T. Crow
ley, as "Shawn, the Spy" was very good,
while John j. Cruise, as "Capt Beck, "
the villain, was capital. The part Of
"Lieut. Douglas" OF the Kings Yeo-
many was ably sustained by Thos. f.
Kilroy. Frank M. Drudy as "Thornton"
and James j. Kilroy, as "Barney O'Bra-
dy," filled their parts satisfactorily. The
young people feel highly encouraged at
the result of their first effort and there
are many requests for reputation OF the
performance.
A pleasing feature of the entertainment
was the refined manner in which 1t was
presented, yet passing off with an ease and
grace that would credit professionals.
The music was furnished by John F.
and Miss Elizabeth Mcnamara, and was
excellent. Mr.. Clarence Morton, of Tren-
ton, rendered a number OF vocal selections
between the acts, that were well received
as was the dancing of Messr, John F.
Hunt and VIM. Kelly. -

When everybody is hoping for the re-
turn Of better times, each straw that
shows the wind to be blowing from. that
quarter, is worthy Of special notice. There
is no barometer so reliable as The demand
for goods. Nobody buys stock for fun
or for appearances.
Our advertisers, The Charles e Hires
Company, of Philadelphia, transact bus
mess over very wide field, dealing in
every city, town, village and crossroads
in the country. They report that the
sales OF Hires RootbeeT so far this season
are very much in excess of the same per
iod last year. When it was remembered
that their annual sales have before this
reached the enormous total OF 1850, 27s
packages, which equals more than gal
lon for every fnmily in the country, il
would seem at first thought that there is
little room for further growth. Thirst
for 1t, however, seems to be universal, as
this years report shows very large gain,
indicating that ere long the person who
does not drink Hires Rootbeer will be
somewhat of a curiosity.
No temperance beverage has ever any
where nearly appro ached Hires Rootbeer
in popularity. Its wonderful success can
be accounted for only on the ground that
it is just what the manufacturers claim
AN honest extract OF natures most
healtbful roots, which Stakes thirst, i'm
proves health, and pleases every member
OF the family. Its remarkable sale GER
tainly proves that millions enjoy Hires
Rootbeer.

Geo. ]. Swope, of Stockton, was entirely
destroyed by fire Tuesday morning of
last week, causing loss of $4,000. The
blacksmith shop of Joseph Hyde, adjoin-
ing the wheelwright shop, also caught
fire, aad was damaged to the extent of

as there was no fire in the building, and
it is the general relief that the place was
set on fire.

rible feeling all over his body of being
drawn downward. His eyes stood out
of their sockets. His veins were fit to
burst.
He threw himself over on his back
as far as he could and tried to raise
one of his legs. His instinct was to
fight for his legs. to hold them by main
force against going in further But
who ever fought a quicksand with any
success?
He wept and struggled and shouted,
but all in vain. There was nothing to
do but die, though so near home he
could hear the steam thresher and
now and then the voices of the men!
Oh! it was madden;ng.
Suddenly he heard Stars familiar
neigh. There stood the dear little fell
low at the edge of the morass, looking
at his master and whinnying pitifully.
''Oh, STAR Starr Fred called, cant
you get somebody TO Gomez
With a snort and neigh the little
pony came toward him, picking his
way and finding footholds where the
boy had missed them.
When he had come near enough Fred
tried to catch his bride, but he was
too weak to reach up SO far.
Then the wise creature took matters
under his own direction. He whirled
around so that his long tail swept
right over the boys head. With cry
of joy the poor fellow caught hold of
his strong support, and then with a
sudden quick and powerful jerk Star
drew him out.
The boy had just strength enough
left to cling tight until he was dragged
to safe ground. Then he let go and

In the course Of the forenoon the
pony's persistent neighings were
heard by some one in the wheat field,
and Fred was found and taken home.
However the boy may feel about the
quagmire, there is no rein or bit strong
enough to turn the pony aside into
that bride path.-E. A. Mathews, in

IN THE QUlCkSAND.
How a Boys Life Was Saved Through
His Pony's Devotion.

How a Boys Life Was Saved Through
His Pony's Devotion.
At ten years of age the human being
cannot depend on himself to obey or
ders, or to get himself out of scrape;
at least Fred,Mackleroy could not.
But an animal, pony, say, at three
years of age has all his wits about
him; at least Fred Mackleroy's pony
had.
A favorite canter with Fred was the
fve-mile road leading to Beaver Dams
lake; the road was wide, hard, smooth
and we'll shaded, and the lake was
a fairy sheet of water full of green
islands. There was one restriction on
this ride; Fred was never to take the
short cut, the bride path through the
woods.
But one day, out ofvery perversity
and idleness, he refined Star into the
path and rode in under the birches
and pines, and in two minutes he was
lost to sight.
AS he rode on he spoke aloud often,
contemptuously: II can see no reason
why should not ride this bride path
After riding mile perhaps, all the
time in hearing of the steam thresher
in his fathers wheat field, he dis
mounted and threw himself down I'M
der cool pine for rest. Bidding
Star to stand there, after few mo-
ments he strolled away down into a
sunny glade-a piece of low ground
with bright green sod, through the
middle of which ran sluggish stream
with lilies growing in it.
He ran forward to gather the flow
ers. and in a moment found himself
kicking about in bog, and in min
ute more felt himself sinking, and at
the same instant remembered he had
been told there was a quagmire in
those woods. The spot was a bit of
marsh and quicksand and concealed by
the rich growth of grass. Many an
imals have been mired there, and it
was said that more than one hunter
had lost his life in the bog.
Fred stopped short and shouted.
Stopped short? Yes, he did, for his
legs were now firmly grasped by the
sucking quicksands. There was a hor,
