HEWSON, THE GIRLS FATHER,
THINKS.
Jacob HewsOn, a prosperous and
prominent farmer, residing near
Townsend, was a passenger on Della
ware railroad train No. 80, when il
arrived in this city this morning. He
was bound for Camden, N. j.. where
he expects to find his daughter, Miss
Sadie L. Hewson, who left home yes
terday.
A hired man employed by Mr. Hew-
son, named w. r. Brown, disappeared
at the same time, and it is supposed
that the two went together to Camden
to be married there Brown had been
employed by Mr.. Hewson but a short
time.
The latter found that he was very
attentive TO his daughter and wished
to marry her. The farmer opposed the
match, and, it is said, finally ordered
Brown from the place.
He left yesterday and the girl il
thought to have gone with him. as Mr.
Hewson was informed that both haC
been seen boarding q north-b bound
train at Townsend.

The Play and the Players.

That "a Celebrated Case" drew a
good audience for two evenings, in so
small a community, is very creditable,
to say the least, TO the dramatic club.
Indeed commendable spirit was
shown in the very fact that country
amateurs should undertake a play of
its character, containing, as it does, in
theatrical parlance, so many "heavy"
parts. it goes without saying that
the club did its part well and that
every member, from the least to the
greatest deserves the highest praise.
The leading characters, sustained by
G.. NJ. Eames Mrs. Edna Arnold,
Mrs. F. A. Curtis and H. A. Dud-
ley, were ideal, while the acting Of Bes-
sic Castle, the eight-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Castle, could
not be well excelled- and her part was
by no means an interior one as she
passed through some trying scenes, in
cluding the death of her mother. The
rendition OF the heavy parts by c. M:
Eames and Mrs. Arnold could not
have been bettered by unprofessionals
and stamp them as born actors. Mrs
Curtis also had difficult role and ac-
quilted herself handsomely. Nothing
too good can be said for the players
but the play-well, that is another mat
ter-it didn't have redeeming quail
ty; there was not a smile in it from be-
ginning to end; all was sadness, sorrow
and villainy. There was not person
present either evening that could have
enjoyed the assassination of an innocent
woman by a brutal villain, though
finely acted. No one could but pity
the poor, innocent soldier condemned
to the galleys.
We have sorrows and sadness enough
to face in this world without having it
presented on the stage.
This criticism is made without malice
and only with the Intent that the mat
ter may be corrected by the selection
of a different class of plays, feeling
confident that such a course would
benefit the club.
Let us have the better side Of life
shown up-something that would ele-
vate-a play full Of hope, and joy,
and bubbling over with mirth with no
pistols nor daggers; let the villain go;
no one wants to make his acquaintance
if it can possibly be avoided. Give
us play of this kind and see how the
house will fill up and see how happy
all will 60 home. Try it once, gentle
men.
