"The Leading Lady" will be presented
on Wednesday, May II, by A. M. Palm
er's company, for the Joint benefit of the
employees Of the Grand opera house and
known comedian, who will be pleas
antly remembered as last here in the
title role of "sharley's Aunt" The sur
rounding company is made up of first
class artists, who have admirable parts.
1.-THE Leading Lady, is a farce from
first to last. If you don't want to laugh
and be cheered up keep away from it
for it is said Mr. Cirardot is much fun
nier in this comedy than in "Charley's
Aunt" and the theatergoers all know
how amusing he was as the aunt from
Brazil
Tickets are now on sale and can only
be obtained fro mthe employees.
Denman Thompson's celebrated play
1.-THE Old Homestead" will be seen on
Friday and Saturday evenings, May 20
and 30, with matinee Saturday. The
humorous simplicity which has made
this healthy, wholesome play a great
favorite is evidenced by the reception
accorded the company during former
engagements. 1t is an undeniable facts
that no matter how many times one
spends the evening in the company of
these pleasant. good natured honest

wHr1NEYr11LE CHUECH,

We have before us the published pro-
ceedings of the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the organization OF the Whit
NEVILLE Congregational church of
Hamden, last August
1t is very interesting account of
that observation-disclosures We're many
and appropriate to the occasion.
The address of Judge l., Il, Munson
of the United church of New Haven
has local interest for New Haven,
especially to the United church and
society, whose members united with
Others in forming the Whitneyville
church and society. and we publish it
in full, for the first time for the benefit
of our readers who were not present at
the anniversary gathering.
Judge Munson spoke upon Our Lin
cage" as follows;
| After the very able and complete his
| torlcal address from the pastor of this
church last Sunday morning there is
not much left for me to say in the line
| of thought marked out for suggestion.
| l am not as familiar with the history
! and records of this church as I ought
| to be to speak to you ON an occasion
| like the present. Our church relations
are with the United church and society
in New Haven, where myself and wife
have been members for more than forty
| years.
Out of the loins, so to speak, of that
| church and society came members OF

We're, uniting with five others, which
made up the apostolic number of twelve

| it's organization In covenant obligation
| ] am not informed Evidently they
were persons filled with the spirit of
the Master, with courage to enter His
work wherever duty called, regardless
| of difficulties in the way.
! From that day to this the objects and
aims OF the United church and society,
and the Whitneyville church and soci-
city, have been interviewer In interest
and under Inspiration of the great Head
of the Church both churches and socie-
ties have grown and prospered in Chris

THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF

But ofall the Democratic candidates
before the convention, probably the
best man that the party could have
nominated is Mr.. Bryan. He is not
only still young and independent, not
having been contaminated and fossil
lied by long association with the old
mossbacks of the party, but he is the
only man among the straightout Dem
ocratic candidates who has ever said
that he would no, vote for gold bug,
but would leave the party and de-
nounce it and Join the Peoples Party,
if in 1896, the platform did not declare
for free silver and financial reform.
That evidence of manhood and pa
triotism, that determination to pu,
country above party, causes us to
warm up no little toward the young
statesman, and makes US hope that
there is much of the Andrew Jackson
courage and firmness still latent with
in him. 1t is true he ought to have
taken this position in 1892, but there
are many of the best men in the coun-
try who did not then, yet who have
since taken that position. Mr.. Bryan
may not have known at that time, as
others did, that Mr. Cleveland was in
league with the money power.
