"Ihe White Pilgrim" !"

Given under the m engagement of Mrs. w. II. Alley at the opera house Tuesday night, far surpassed anything in the theatrical line it has ever been the pleasure of orrest City audience to see produced by amatuer talent. The entertainment was given for the benefit of the Methodist church and a complement of twelve ladies and gen. tlemen composed the company.
 The soul stirring tragedy "The White Pilgrim" from the legend of Gilbert A Beckett, given in four acts, proved to have touched a responsive cord in the hearts of the large audience.
 In the second act, ''the broken troth : "thro' life to death, thro' death to life,' "l did love too much," the White Pil- grim kept the audience in a state of feeling mingled with feverish excite ment, of love, sorrow, sympathy and horror.
 In the third act, "the demon jealous at work" ''he spoke those words to me-" sent sensational shudder thro the spectators and many tears crept down the cheeks from eyes unused to weep.
 The performance from beginning to finish was life lived upon the plane of insincerity, deception and the numer- ous failures, fellies and darts with which man is beset, and the constant true and unfaultering affection which is ever crown jewel in the woman s existence.
 The play was notable for its many intricate parts, and the successful manner in which each actor performed his part reflects great credit upon the careful and patient tuturage of Mrs. Alley. Those present are loud in their praise and calls for its reproduction, and those who were so unfortunate as to be absent are resolved to head it of should it be booked again.

never tire of the statement that

tion upon which they have substan-

would show himself he would make
him tell his name and business
whereupOn the young man went to

"you are by yourself tonight" and
