In reply to apologies for the miniature
size of our dramatic facilities she very
pleasantly said she wouldn't find fault and
that sometimes the opera houses of as large
cities as Pittsburg, Wheeling and Cincinnati
were not all that they might be in the way
of cleanliness aud convenience. She would
rather play to a smaller house well filled
with appreciative listners than to act before
a larger house which seemed cold and un-
sympathetic.

Mile. Rhea Speaks Upon Napoleon at the
Home of an Owosso Lady.
The ladies of Owosso are to be compli-
mented upon the various social events
which occur among them, and they are cer-
tainly to be congratulated upon the reception
given to Mile. Rhea at the home of Mrs.
Chas. s. Williams, west OLIVER street. We'd
nesday afternoon. The ladies of the Wo-
mans Literary and Current Topic clubs of
Owosso and the Ladies' Literary Society of
Sc. Johns together with number of invited
friends filled the parlors of this handsome
residence and formed as sympathetic and
appreciative an audience as Mile. Rhea could
have desired. The parlors were decorated
with greens and the chairs so arranged that
all might see the fair orator. Mile. Rhea
was escorted to the the residence by Mrs. N.
McBaln, president Of the Current Topic
Club; Miss Mana X. Needels, president of
the Woman's Literary Club and Mrs jose
phine Gould, who is a member of both
clubs.
Mile. hneas appearance was greeted with
applause and she was introduced to the
audience by Mrs. Josephine Gould, who in
exquisite words greeted the famous actress,
acknowledged the pleasure and honor due
on this occasion to her and called her the
worlds matchless Josephine. Mile Rhea
after gracefully acknowledging the compli-
ment read from her manuscript some thrill
ing words about the life Of Napoleon. Hav-
Ing quoted the thoughts Of Robert lngersoll
as he stood at the tomb of Napoleon in
which, as he reflects upon the life of frances
dictator, he would prefer to be the
humblest sort of an honest peasant, she
gave In language, pure and earnest, her
thoughts upon the life of Napoleon as she
had gazed upon his priceless marble tomb.
As she reflected upon the pages of history
which passed before her mind she would
prefer above all characters In the world, to
have been the faithful, loving, dying
Josephine. Her picture OF the Emperor's
island prison and his hated English jailer
was vivid one and true to tha French spirit.
Napoleon was not defeated by Wellington
or by Blucher, but as Victor Hugo wrote,
the Almighty defeated him, the Infinite had
said, THUS far shalt thou 60 and no furth-
er."

1t Is good cheer to the hearts Of dress re-
formers to learn that corsets are going out
In Paris. Cyclers have renounced them ell

of the voluminous sleeves and skirts is that
the slim appearance thus given to the nat

in Chicago consists of two hundred pages of

DIR. Henry M. Field, while attending the
meeting OF the National Editorial Associa-

stinence. He says: "Sitting near the
entrance of the hall and thus seeing from
end to end, did not see single man touch
a glass of wine or mug of lager beer! l
confess that was surprised at what could
have hardly believed except for the testi-
mony of my own senses, but which was
mest gratifying, not only for the editorial
profession, but for the country which they
represent.
