his life and works.
Miss Lovewel introduced the subject
very pleasantly, stating that the matter
was of SO much Importance that a brief
consideration of it would be unsatisfac-
tory and therefore each member of the
class would present some particular
phase of Spenser. Mr.. Ireland gave a
complete sketch of Sponsors life. Miss
Pixley explained the plot of the Faerie
Queen. Air Broughton discussed the
Faerie Queen from an historical and
Miss Davis from an allegoricaI stand

BAMBOOzLED BY MISS BRAY.
The Star of the Clair Patee Company
Decamped From ShamOkln.

Inc STAR OIL the Clair Patee company
Decamped From ShamOkln.
As Clair Patee and his comedy company
became well acquainted and made many
warm personal acquaintance in this
town during two engagements IN the re-
cent past, the following clipping from the
Shamokin News will be read with in
terest by many Of ouI readers
Certain members of the Clair Patee
company will remember Miss Virginia
Bray for a long time to come. II will
be remembered that she essayed the
role of prosecuted wife, etc., and
wore elegant dresses. Miss Bray re-
sides in Cleveland, o., and has an in
come OF about $3.50 per week, large
portion of the amount being derived
from alimony, she being a divorcee. 1t is
said that she had $500 in her possession at
the City Hotel during the compsny's en-
gagement in Shamokin. And she kept a
two inch rope tied to the greenbacks,
while the rest of the company wondered
il they could earn enough to take them
back to New York.
"The company was engaged by Clair
Pattee, veteran manager at the solici
tation OF Miss Bray, who is infatuated
with appearing before the public. A
tour of the coal region was not produc-
tive OF financial gain. At Shenandoah a
disbandment was about to occur when
the members agreed to play in Shamokin,
the receipts to be divided. The weeks
earnings amounted to about $50, which
was just enough to pay for tickets, board
bills and incidentals, leaving the com
pany without cent of personal money
The members appealed to Miss Bray and
her right hand man, William Nichols
During Saturday night all the men except
Livingstone were given some money, while
Misses Taylor, Hanchett and Hedley
were also left out in the cold. Early in
the morning Miss Bray and Nichols fed
to Sunbury via the Reading route to
take a train for the West ia order
to escape the repI caches of the unfairly
treated actresses, who left for New York on
the O'Clock Lehigh train, together with
Patee and the rest During the entire
tour Miss Bray was extremely jealous of
Miss Eva Taylor, who is a pretty and
estimable young lady cf very excellent
ability. She outshone the supposed star
during each performance and the news
papers praised her so that Miss Bray
grew almost wild from mortifcation.
Her hostility grew SO that during the
closing of the last weekHhe intentionally
sank her finger nails deep into Miss
Taylor's wrists during one of the last
acts. The last night Of the show the
company feared tas4 Miss Bray and
