greeted the performers. TownspeOple
as well as students are prompt in ac-
cepting an invitation to one Of Mrs.
Manning's dramatic recitals. The first
number on the program was a piano
solo, THE Spinning Wheel" by Shultz.
The rendering of this by Miss Galley
was particularly light and dainty.
Little Sarah Muir made a charming
old lady in her rustling black silk, her
powdered hair and high-backed comb.
She recited Grandma at the Mas
querade," by Cora Vandermark. Miss
Muir Is delightfully."- at her ease on the
platform, a thing, by the way, uncom-
mon among amateurs. Howells'
Mouse Trap makes an audience for
get cares, their neighbors, even the
the fact that mice exist and that wom-

was delightfully."- funny, as it was pre-
sented by r. II. Manly, Marie Pollard,
Jesse Spurk. Phoebe Berard, Annie
Stewart, Alberta Spurk and Jean Tut
tie. The most commendable feature Of
the work done by these students of dra-
matte art is its freedom from any
"staginess." Robert Manly sauntered
around with his hands in his trousers
pockets, just as We see him every day
in the hall. An audience has no terrors
for him. The death-bed scene of DR..
Mcclure in the "Bonny Briar Bush
was read by Hugh Walker. Mr.. Walker
Is himself "bonny Scotch laddie' and
entered heartily into the spirit of his
theme. The program closed with an
other farce, The Fatal Message" by
Bangs. This was "take-off" on anna
tours and their trials and fluctuations
were well portrayed.

Plain Talk From a Bishop.

At a recent session of one of the
Conferences of the colored Methodist
Episcopal Church in the South, Bishop
Lane, who presided, said, in discussing
the aus of a brother who was in
debt:
You may pass his charac er if you
wish, but I'll never give him an ap,
pointment till the debt is paid. A
man has nc right to wear a hat, coat or
shoe till his debts are paid. If I were
in debt I would go and hire myself to
my creditor till 1 had paid it off, and
then come back to Conference and ask
for work, but not before. You can
preach and shout all you please, but if
you die with your debts unpaid, you
will go to the devil.

meeting to order and explained the OBJ

a word. Then he asked if there were
no Republicans present. The response
was: I'VE are all Populists now"
The Chairman having also quietly put
on that garb some time ago, was not
left by any means. He had acted as
