About $50 was cleared for the Y. M. G.
A. auxiliary as their share of the proceeds
from "Evangeine." As an entertainment,
it more than met the expectation of all,
the spectacular effect being fine. Among
the specialties, the flower drill was, per-
haps, the best, though the minuet and the
Virginia reel we're both well and gracefully
done. The principal characters of the
poem were as follows: Evangeline, Miss
Conant of Vermont Academy; Gabriel,
w. c. Smith; Basil, DIR. A. j. Parker;
Benedict, w. H. Taylor; Father Felician,
E. II. Williams. These, with the Indians,
soldiers, matrons, men, maidens and chill
dren, made a cast of over 100. The
short bright dress of the Acadian peasant
seemed particularly adapted for the scenic
effect, and the audience was enthusiastic.
Opinions vary as to the respective merits
of the IA scenes, but perhaps it is safe to
say that the church scene showed the
greatest amount Of deep feeling, while the
light of the burning village falling on the
sad seashore encampment was the most
picturesque. The village scene is enthu-
siastically mentioned. Mrs. Rodenbaugh
has clear rich voice and her rendering
of Longfellow's masterpiece was an artis-
tic success.

An Incendiarv FIRE a, 81, AIbens.

The fine residence of Albert Sowles at
st. Adams was burned early yesterday
morning. Mr.. Sowles and bis daughter
were in Swanton at the time. When the
flames were discovered the house was brok-
en- into by neighbors, who found a bed in
one of the lower rooms blazing. Another
bed upstairs was burning, and the attic
was a mass of flames. The gas in the low
er sleeping room and hall was burning low,
and everything was in confusion. In the
sitting room was an empty tin box such
as is used to store valuable papers. Pa
pers and letters were strewn about the
floor, drawers were open, aud the house
evidently thoroughly ransacked. The beds
and carpets had been soaked with benzine,
and in the kitchen, beneath clothes bar
filled with clothes, was pile of rags and
paper wet with oil that had not been light
ed. On table in the kitchen were dishes
and the remains of lunch. The house
was insured for $4,000 and the furniture
for $4,000. Many rumors are afoat as to
the identity of the incendiary, some of
which involve well-known people. The
theory that the fire was set TO cover up a
robbery is not believed wholly.

Monday Nights burglary.

When G. II. Walker came down into his
store Tuesday morning as usual from his
upstairs apartments he found 1t had been
broken into, access being gained by taking
out several lights of glass and the sash in
the upper part of the door opening from
the piazza into the back store. 1t seems
strange that with Mr.. and Mrs. Walker
and the two clerks sleeping over the store
no one of them was awakened The work
of a chisel and bit were plainly shown on
the two north windows, which they tried
to pry up; then they bored and pried on a
thick heavy door between the store room
and main store. Giving that up, they
went around and got in by way of the
bulkhead, and coming up the stairs pried
and bored on that door, which was secured
by strong bar on the inside and resisted
their efforts. They either did not have
time or pluck to go further, but secured a
few bottles of beer from the cellar and
new Columbia bicycle in the back
store. They broke into Ashwel Brothers
shop and G. w. Metcalfs to get the tools
to operate with. 1t is thought from APP
pearances there must have been two of
them. Our society with a long name
