1t is pleasant to note that the band
of Thespians who have congregated so
long in Salt Lake find our city so at
tractive that they defer their departure
from us as long as possible. Miss
Bateman finally tore herself away last
evening, departing for New York. A
number of former friends assembled
at the TemDleton to bid her bon voy-
age. Mr.. Ross took advantage of the
Goodwin comDany's rates to go with
them to San Francisco on the midnight
train. and he will open with Frawley
on the 31st. Walter Edwards and Mr.
Ford are still with us. but they, too
will shake the dust off their feet by
the middle of the week and leave for

Salt Lake, May Is.


Dear Hal:
The season is in its last gasp. and
inasmuch as it had to pass. 1 don't
know of anything more bright and
beautiful TO usher it out than the per-
formances of Nat Goodwin and Maxine
Elliot. When the theaters are locked
up, as they soon will be, and we swing
in our summer hammocks and dream
over the glories of the season past,
there Will be, to my mind, three red
letter events which will stand out in
type that viii dwarf all their fellows.
1 refer to 'Pudd 'nhead Wilson, -
''Shore Acres" and Nat Goodwins
plays, notably his American Citizen. -
Time was when Mr.. Goodwin was not
a powerful magnet in Salt Lake. His
business for many seasons was COM
prised in that unsatisfactory term
fair But now it seems to be generally
conceded by society at large that not
TO see Nat Goodwin is a sign of de-
teriorating taste, an evidence Of being
behind the date; so everyone goes just
as she or he would TO see Booth, or
Mary Anderson, if it were possible, or

WOTQS, MI. bOOuNiu, dlleI years VI
climbing, has got there" He con-
fided 10 a friend in my hearing the
other night that for six years past he
had never made less than $25 600, and
that in this, the season of all seasons,
when the road is strewn with the
bleaching bones of dramatic ventures
as never before in the roads history,
he would clear a great deal more than
that sum. He deserves it. Running

the town. in tickle fashion, turned its
back. Poor Miss Cayvan. A harder
worker and a more conscientious one
doesn't exist. But Salt Lake simply
confirmed the verdict rendered all over
the country since she set out starring,
and that was that she had made
mistake. AT the head of a good stock

a vacation this week and opened Mon

RIPpoN, w. VA. Aug. 9, 81
DEAR Mr.. HAINEs.-Two Sundays ago
was at Wildwood, Va. my old home
place. Just before I started for home l
was looking into the manly countenance
of nv little nephew, John Copenhaver,
and picturing for him grand future. as
I thought him the incest little boy that it
had been my pleasure to know Gentle,
meek and loving, he was the idol OF his
fathers and mothers heart and all 9TH
ers who knew him.
A few days after my visit to my dear
old home place this loving child con-
tracted dyptheria, from which he suffered.
as no mortal tongue can tell until last
Friday morning. when standing by his
bed the doctors hand resting upon him,
he breathed his last. The day before his
death the doctor.led him to the dissecting
table, made am incision in his throat, and
inserted silver tube. The brave little
soldier stood it as patiently as Job and did
not whimper. But all of this was of no
avail, as God saw fit to take him. Surely
it looks like sad thing to pluck sweet

its life but God does all things for the
best. And even this could not have been
so trying an ordeal as when His only son
said, Abba, Father. all things are pos
sible unto Thee, take away this cup
from me. Nevertheless, not what will,
but what Thou wilt" Yet for mankind
it was necessary that Christ partake of
this cup, and he did. Therefore, we
should not murmur but prepare to meet
little John on the banks of the Jordan,
where he will await us until the resurrec-
ton. His age was years, 4 months and
some days. AT 4 o'clock, p. m, the fun
eral was preached at the house by the
Rev. Mr.. Jones, assisted by the Rev. Mr..
Corbett. His remains were inferred at
the Old Chapel graveyard.
The little daughter of Mr.. Joshua Os-
burn died the day previous to little John
with the same disease, and was buried at
the old Bethel church, on the 9th inst
The parents of each have our heartfelt
sympathy in their great bereavement.
