before a Wheeling audience at the Grand
Opera House last night. 1t is very in
teresting stage story of heroism love,
sacrifice on the one side, and cowardice,
Its heroes wear the gray as well as the
blue. The love story is very interesting
and is not lost sight of among the series
of stirring pictures of strife. The COM
pany is good. The stage settings are very
handsome and realistic. There are lots of
opportunities for applause and the upper
portion of the house was particularly
demonstrative. Gettysburg will be re-
peated tonight.
