AN EVENING WITH POE.
Illustrated Lecture Delivered by
Prof. Rossell art Carroll Institute.

"An evening with Edgar Allan Poe" was
the subject of an illustrated lecture given
last night by Prof. Fl. h. ROssall, at Car
roll Institute Hall. A severe cold pre-
vented the speaker from reciting with
the declamatorye mphasis that Poe's poems
and especially 1.-The Raven seem to
demand. He read the lines with feeling,
however, and at times exhibited dramatic
intensity that won for him rounds of ap-
plause.
Among the selections given, in addition
to 1.-The Raven" were "Annabel Lee"
"Lenore," 'UIalume," and a number of
love songs and minor verses. Each story
was illustrated with views that pictured
the words as they were spoken, and as
the poets weird ideas were defined in grim
shapes, tones ONE graveyards, n eating
corpses and supernatural birds, the ef-
feet was uncanny enough to have salts
fled even the morbid fancies of one of
the most brillia ut geniuses the world has
ever known.
