QUEEN ESTHER.
Sixty Home Artists Will Honor the
Exploits of the Ancient Per-
sian Potentate in Song
and Character

Prof. Moulton of the Chicago Uni
yersity, in his great lecture on the
Epic Poetry OF the Bible, character
ICES the narrative of Esther as among
the most splendid examples of that
class of composition in the literature
of the world. The book is a story
with double plot; one in which this
Jewish maiden, Esther, queen of Per-
STA, is chiefly concerned, and the
other in which Mordecai is the center
of interest. As the queen of the Per-
sian monarch, Xerxes, or Ahasuerus
Esther became at once the most pow
erful woman in the world. When the
edict, in stigated by the cruel and vim
dictive IIamen, went forth that all
the Jews in 127 provinces of this vast
empire should be slain, Mordecai APP
pealed TO the young queen TO exert
herself TO save her people. This she
must do at the peril of her life. The
edict had been issued. The laws of
the Modes and Persians altered not
But the queen nobly responded TO
this appeal to save her kindred. The
diplomacy of affection, exercised with
consummate skill, accomplished the
salvation of her people and the de-
struction of her enemies.
This most beautiful and sublime
drama of Queen Esther has been I'M
der rehearsal by the best Grammatical
| and musical talent of this city for a
| long time. Mr.. Frank Thayer has
the special direction of the rehears-
ais. Sixty participants constitute
the caste with unique and appropriate
costumes. This play will be the SEN
sation of the season, and should be
patronized by full house. 1t will be
presented at Opera Hall on Thursday
and Friday evenings, March l4th and
| 18th.

nriceS. at Jenson's.


The lecture upon Fixed Stars and
Nebula, in the Lyceum course was
not quite so well attended as were the
prev Dus ones of the course, owing, no
| dnuh.. TO the fact that there were
attractions to take the attention of
the public, as well as to the absence
of several of the Normal people from
the city.
As heretofore, the lecture was illus
trated by views, in this case showing
stars of different magnitudes, double
stars, nebul@, portions of the milky
way, etc. etc.
The center of our solar system, the
sun, was shown to be star of about
the third magnitude, and of such size
that were it TO be seen at as great
distance as many Of the others are it
would appear far less bright than
many now visible to US.
The method Of determining the dis
tances of the fixed stars was shown 10y
diagram, the process being by meas
urement of the parallax made by the
earth moving in its orbit around the
sun.
One of the most interesting por-
tions of the lecture was the explanas
tion OF the variable star Algol, which
was shown to be eclipsed every few
hours by a planet which revolves
around it. thus causing Algol to be-
come almost entirely obscured every
twenty-five hours.
The composition of the different
stars as revealed by the spectroscope
was explained and illustrated.
The lecturer stated that though tie
velocity OF light is so enormous, it re-
quires many years for the light of the
stars TO reach us, the very nearest ones
requiring three or four years.
The concluding lecture of the
course will occur on Friday evening,
and will treat Of the Growth and De-
cay Of the Universe.

In Mem0riam.
MRS. ABIGAIL InRING.

Mrs. Abigail Loring was born in the
town oil Turner, Maine, in August, 1907,
and died at River Falls, Wisconsin, Feb.
ruary oath, 1895. She would have been
So years old in August next She was
married in 1926, being then 10 years of
age, at her home in the town of Turner
where she con tinued to reside for a short
time. She then removed to Shirley,
Maine, where she resided until 1856, and
where all her children, ten in number,
were born, and where in l849 her hus-
band died. During her residence of
nearly 80 years in. Shirley she was
obliged, because of, the comparatively
uninhabited condition of the country and
lack of means, to undergo privations and
vicissitudes which would have been dis
heartening to a less Intrepid spirit. From
the death of her husband in 1S49 she
was the real head of the family and to the
mother belongs the. credit of rearing to
maturity the family of nine children
which survived the father.
In 1856 she broke up her old home at
Shirley and REMOVED to Kinnickinnlc,
st. Croix county, where she lived until
about 1881 when she removed to River
Falls where she has since resided.
OF the original family of ten children,
five survive her. Mrs. Eliza Nye, of this
city; Mrs. Scales, now living in Califor-
mia; Lyman Lonng,' of Kalispel, Mont.
Mrs Field, with whom her mother lived
and Mrs. Woodwork of Ellsworth.
That is but the history of her time on
| earth To write the story of her life is
less easy. To describe her as she was to
her children and her childrens children
| in her daily walk and life requires more
than the allotted time on this occasion.
Her noble spirit, like some valiant Scot
ish chieftan, ever alert for the welfare of
his clan. will always live in the memory
of her friends. Her keen intelligence
and discriminating qualities were soft
ened always by heart filled with the
milk of human kindness and brothery
love- Positive she was, it is true, but
just and fair always. Sturdy and self
reliant, yet leaning for support upon the
| Higher Power, the Divinity which
shapes our ends Strong in her own
strength but stronger yet in the strength
of an all just God aud righteous cause.
AS the mariner looks to the star in the
north for guidance, 80 she looked through
the units of tradition for the light, her
Creator, a new Heaven and new life.
So we who knew her look with such pa
thence as we may for the Great Beyond.
Not with her fortitude, not with her pa
thence, but looking as we may. AT last,
after nearly century of work and wait
ing, of cares without end and ceaseless
pain of body and mind. this peerless soul
is returned again to liz Creator; chastened
truly, sturdy and valiant % the end. She
died as she lived. grand to the last. She
lives as she died, glorious from the first.
