propriate exercises on the generous

ed in flower costume made up delight
ful program. On Tuesday evening the
older members of the school gave play
"The Spy of Gettysburg" at the Town
hall. Despite the very Indictment
weather large audience greeted the
actors upon the rise of the curtain. The
following young ladies and gentlemen
took part: The Misses Florence Wake
man, Louise Burr and hattie Penney,
Masters Ralph Engel, James Hewitt,
Livingston Morehouse, Warren Barnes,

scenes with the soldiers in full regi-
mentals being especially well enacted.
Between the acts music was rendered by
the banjo club of the Bridgeport High
school. Miss Chapman also gave several
recitations. The success of the. play is
largely due to Prof Lamb, the assistant
teacher in the higher department, who
has the young people under his training.

NEW ORLEANS, April 1s.-The city
has caught the fever of excitement and
though the authorities insist that the
line is well protected and no danger ex-
Ists. the citizens held several mass
meetings and urged action. piedsins all
the money needed. This has induced
the board to build the temporary levees
two feet higher, after having already
provided for a temporary rise Of two
feet. A large force of men arc already
Mt work night and day on the upper
levees and by tonight. this extra cau-

be begun on the commercial section and
two feet of sand bags added there by
tuesday night.

posIte bank OF the river in order TO

replied that any such attempt would
mean the perforntion OF the cutting

New orleans would attempt such
measures has been abroad In adjoining
sections for several days. and at the
monster Bonnet CRTTe cynbankment the
rumor has caused the camping OF an
armed company OF volunteers on the
leyee each night. Last night three
negroes in a skin were caught stealing
along in the shadow OF the leVee and n
fusllade was promptly begun. The boat
swiftly darted toward the opposite
bank but not before one OF the oarsmen
