came prominently identified with dra-
matte work. Besides playing with his
own College club. he appeared frequently
with the Columbia College boys. the Man.
haitian Athletic club, and numerous other
organizations.
After taking his degree Of A. b., Mr..
! Hackett entered upon the study OF law,
| and, although successful, his love Tor
! histrOnic work was too strong, and he
abandoned the law for the more con-
I genial pursuits Of the stage His rcpu-
tation as an experienced actor immedi-
ately secured for him an engagement
| with a. NJ. Palmer, New York Stock
| Company, where he remained until he
accepted an offer from Lotta TO become
her leading man. After that engagement
| he joined Augustin Days Company. and
distinguished himself in comedy roles in
| that admirable Organization until Mr.
Days Company went abroad. when he
decided to strike out for himself, and the
| success with which he has met since his
tour began, ii IS said has been complete.

Lodges and Unions.

The lodges and secret organizations Of
this city are beginning 10 show a ten
dency TO mingle more freely in social
gatherings and 10 present TO The public
their most attractive side. thereby greatly
strengthening their ranks. Many, seeing
that hum-drum routine business is not
the only feature OF the orders are in
duced to cast their lots with them in or
der to become partakers of this socialty.
An especially enjoyable affair Of this
kind was the ball given last Monday night
at Sanger Hall by Sycamore Tribe. No
81. Improved Order OF Red Men. About
four hundred persons were present. and
the greatest good feeling and mirth pre-
vailed Messrs. II. Messerschmidt, Otto
Hitler Robert and Charles Simms. and
William Holzaphel who constituted the
reception committee, attended to the de-
tails with such skill that everything went
off without hitch
The Odd-Fellows are growing. Last
Tuesday night the degree staff Of Capital
City Lodge went to Moseley's Junction
and conferred degrees on sixteen candi-
dates. who united with Powhatan Lodge
at that place.
Friendship Lodge, No. n. Odd-Tellows
had a large meeting of its members on
Tuesday night last. The main business
of the meeting was the consideration Of
an amendment to the bylaws Of the
lodge. whereby dues are decreased from
IS to Sc per annum. The fact that this
question is under discussion speaks well
for the financial condition or this lodge.
Six dollars a year is n very cheap rate
for the benefits, social and financial. con-
ferred by this order. George III. Nalon-
tine IS noble grand Of this lodge, and
John Pitt secretary.
Pickett Democratic Club, a new organi-
cation, with seventy-six members, has
Just taken its place among the old stand
bys OF the city. This club will meet
every Tuesday night at No. els west Main
street. Fagl LcCaugh is president and
Eugene Gates secretary.
on February I'D next Bricklayors'
Union, No I, will give a ball in the
armory. The proceeds will 90 80 succot
the poor Of the city. All organizations
are falling IN line i'm this matter. and are
doing deeds that will surely bring merited
reward.
The Endowment Rank, which Is com
paratively "A recent feature OF the order
Of Knights of Pythias Of this city, Is hish
in favor and the probabilities are thai
other sections will be Instituted.
Winona Council. Jr. O. L. A. NJ, OF

Editor Of The Times: Permit me, as a

When the committee having in charge
the production by amateurs OF sothern's
star Comedy, for the benefit OF the
rosemary Public Library. wrote 10 the
famous actor. requesting the loan OF the
manuscript. he promptly acquiesced in
I, cordial letter. In which. however. he
took occasion to remark that the play
was an intricate one. and its successful
production ambitious work for amateurs.
IA IS probable that this clause in his
