THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME-"

ltE GlhL LEFT BEHIND ME-.
The first night, five years ago, Of the
now famous play The Girl l Left Be
hind Me-" in New York, was one of the
most memorable in recent years. The
new and beautiful Empire Theatre,
built at a cost of nearly half million,
was crowded with the best-known
people in society and art circles, for
besides the interest in the new theatre,
said to be the most luxurious in
America, people were curious as to the
play in which an author wholly un-
known to the public-Franklin Fyles-
was to make a dramatic debut. The
play opened we'll the mingling Of stir
ring war Incidents with social frivolity
and fun OF life at q frontier post in the
far West sufficing to keep the audience
we'll interested. But it was only at the
end of the second act where the lhu-
man interest becomes intense, and a
brave man is allowed to fall under the
one objectionable sin in a soldier, cow
ardice, that people begin to get excit-
ed; from that point until the close of
the third act excitement rose The
great third act scene in the stOckade al
Post Kennion was upon the whole the
most stirring of its kind witnessed
upon the stage in recent years. II
opens very quietly, it is early dawn in
the stockade. A few score of devoted
men are waiting the onslaught of the
redskins, who for days have surround
ed the camp. Worse than all there are
women there whose fate these brave
men cannot think Of without a shud-
der of horror. The manner in which
the incidents of this long and splendid
act are wound up-the suspense and
terror the futile parley with the enc
my. the weird and awful war songs OF
the Indians in q distance, the solemn
moment, when General KenniOn is
| about to shoot his own daughter (ai
her requesD, in order to save her from
the savages, the final appearance o
the rescuing troops in the nick of time
all this was admirably done anC
evoked literally thunders of applause
The curtain had to be raised agar
and again, and it was fully five min
utes before the house became quiet
Since that great first night The Cir
Left Behind Me" has been giver
hundreds of times, but the scene in th'
stockade still seems to come on the au
dience like a revelation. 1t will be a

Chandler yesterday made an investi-
cation of the death of Miss Elizabeth
Quigley, who was found dead under

closed the fact that the womans death
was due to exposure and neglect.

Through the British minister he invited the
Established Church of England to send mis-
sionaries to Guatemala. Owing to the dis
turbed condition Of the country at the time
our Episcopal brethren thought it advisable
to wait a while before entering the field, and
thus the golden opportunity was lost. In 1883

conference with tho Presbyterian board Of

Mr. Hill came back with Barrios, who not only
paid the travelling expenses Of the missionary
and his family and the freight charges on his
furniture from his own pocket, but equipped
the mission house and school with everything
needed. The President had been absent near
ly two years, and his return to his native
land was made triumphal march. In all the
honors of the royal reception he insisted that
Mr.. Hill should have share. Again and
again the modest young minister found him
self escorted through the streets to the music
of bands and upon fowerdecked platforms
where the President Of Guatemala introduced
him to the cheering poprlace as his personal
friend. All this demonstration had its pur-
pose. and resulted as Barrios intended He
wanted the people to understand that he had
taken the missionary and his cause under the
i wing of the government, and demanded the
same respect for Mr.. Hill that was shown to
himself. He placed the missionary in one
of his own houses, sent his children to the
new Sunday school, and commanded his cab
met to do likewise So Presbyterianism be-
came fashionable in Guatemala, and, al
though the Catholics called the mission in
derision "Protestanteria" "a shop for man
ufacturing Protestants), nobody dared to
