Evangeline.

Next Monday evening at the opera
house under the auspices of the Y NJ.
e. A. will be given what, if we are to
judge by the reports of the press and
prominent critics of the east, will be
one OF the most interesting and in
structiye entertainments that our clti-

of the best talent of Canon City will
reproduce the characters and enact the
scenes so giowingly described by
Americas favorite poet, II w Long
fellow, in his noblest effort, Evangeline.
Who indeed is not familiar with the
home-life and character of the Arcadian
peasants, their struggle for independ-
ence and the pathetic story of their ex-
lie. Eleven scenes acted while the
poem is recited reproduce all this and

world wide story of the love of Evan
geline and Gabriel

Gabriel. Evangeline's lover from whom
she Is parted until at his death they
meet long years afterward She has
searched the world for him but in vain,
aud the story of Evangeline's love and
faithfulness will always hold a sacred
place in the hearts and memories of all
people.
All the beauty and pathos, the beau
tiful scenes and delightful character of
the poem are reproduced and the whole
goes to make an entertainment that is
refined, Instructive and above all enter
tanning.
The Y. NJ. G. A. have secured the
services of Charles B. Kendall. of New
York, to direct rehearsals and perform
ance and the following press reports
should convince men. women and chill
dren of Canon City that this is an op
portunity to enjoy a classic production,
that should not be neglected Tickets
are now on sale at Hunter PaImer's
and seats should be reserved at once as
they are going fast;
Our reporter visited the opera house
last night to witness the pantomine of
Evangeline, presented for the public
library. All taking part covered them
selves with glory, and Mr.. Kendall
truly presents a happy promise of the
future. We expected to be bored in
the name of charity, but before Mr..
Kendall had recited dozen lines all
were interested, and before the per.
formance was half over the applause
had assumed the form of an ovation.

ments for such noble cause.-s;yra.

Softly sang my darling May.
Walking with her dear old grandpa.
Hand in hand one summer day.
You could see she loved the verses
As she smiled and sang them DER,

Aged people are her piayments.
And her ways are very quaint:
And her loving grandpa calls her

Blue her eyes and white her forehead.
And her cheeks are angel l-kissed-
Well doth she fuifil her errand.

Interesting Items.

MassilloD, April IL.
Deaths ravages removed another Of
Massillon's most esteemed citizens, from
the midst Of loving relatives and friends,
Sunday morning, For some time, Mr..
Conrad Sisbold, the East Main street dry
goods merchant, had been ailing with lung
trouble, and for several weeks had been
confined to bis bed bat no immediate
danger was anticipated. During Satur-
day evening those gait cred about his bed
side could discern that the patient was
growing worse, bit later his vital forces
rallied, and again the flames of hope were
stirred in the hearts Of the anxious ones.
Sunday morning, however, he grew
suddenly worse and Rev. Father
Mahon, of st. Joseph's, was sum
moned in the midst of the morning
service at that church to administer the
sacrament, and at II o'clock he breathed
his last. Death was caused by rupture
Of the heart. The deceased was one of the
most highly esteeemd citizens Of Mas
sillop, was recognized as a gentleman of
great business integrity and was liked by
every one with whom he came in contact.
He was born in Canton in 1886, aud at
the age Of sixteen years came to Massil-
Ion, where he was employed as clerk
in Munriok's hattery Later he became
head clerk in thu department. store Of L,

This Is no sign, however, that they will
not prove masters of diplomacy.
ChuTlemagno Tower of Philadelphia Is
exceptionally well fitted to assume n for
eiRn post. Besides being man Of wealth
and refinement, he is a scholarly gentle
man, who has studied much and travelled
extensively. In no capital in Europe
would he be n stranger, and he is not only
master Of French, German and Spanish,
but can get along in the Russian and
Scandinavian tongues. 1t is TO the for
tunes of birth that Mr. Tower owes these
advantages. His father, descendant of
one of the Plymouth families, was one Of
the pioneers who opened up the iron and
coal fields Of Pennsylvania and amassed a
fortune by doing It, This fortune he hand
cd down TO his son, who has doubled it
many times by cnlnrging his field of opera
tion. What Charlemagne Tower, ST., did
for western Pennsylvania the son has
done for northern Minnesota
Mr.. Tower was born in Philadelphia,
April II, lS4S, and as boy and youth the
finest educational advantages that were to
be secured were his. After a term in u
military school at New Haven, he was
sent TO Phillips academy at Exeter, n.
H., and from there he went to Harvard.
He took his university degree at tho age of
"a and then spent three years studying in
the continental centers Of learning. One
year he passed at the University of Mad
rid, the next at Paris and Tours, and the
third at Frankfort on the Main. For an
other year he Travelled, going through the
continent.
When he returned to America, he read
Ia fpt, nd nlYni 70
the bar in 1878 He practiced his profes-
sion but little, however, for he was soon
called upon to take his place at the head
of tho great interests which his father left
him. In 1889 he was elected president of
the Duluth and Iron Range railroad, and
he become managing director of the Min
nesota Iron company. In 1887 he returned
to Philadelphia and became director in
several big coal and iron companies, but
arranged his affairs so that he had time to
indulge his literary tastes.
After several years of careful research
he published 1.-The Marquis de Lafayette
In the American Revolution" q book
which has taken high rank as q historical
work, and whose literary merit was at
once conceded.
Mr.. Tower married Miss Helen Smith
Of Oakland, Cal, in 1888, and they have
five children. Mr.. Tower has fine resi-
dence on fashionable Rittenhouse square,
Philadelphia, and spacious country seat
at Utica, N. Y.

bassador to Italy, is one of the most prom

LITTLE WANDERER.

Mrs. G. Schneider, of No. 500 Wood Alley
started for Sundsy-snhool yesterday
morning at Strassner's church, which is
held In Vac.nt room near Charles street.
The little one evidently became bewil-
dared and instead Of finding her way to
the church she continued aimlessly on her
way uptown. She turned into West
TuEcarawas street and plodded through
the heavy rain until she arrived at out
skirts of the city, Thoroughly soaked
with the cold rain that fell in ceaseless
torrents, and bitterly crying for her
mama, she continued her way along the
muddy road and she was within mile of
Reedurban when the motorman on an
Inter urban car picked her up and
brought her back to the city, She was
turned over to Officer Barnes at the Pub
lie Square ana the big-hearted policeman
soon had her snugly covered up near a
hot radiator in the police station. Her
parents were found and they were over
joyed at their little ones return, although
they supposed she was safely within the
