A IrIbute to Well Spent Life .u aral
Services Held in GreendaIe Monday.
On Thursday last, Feb. 8, at her home
in Greendale, surrounded by loving
children, Mrs. Nancy j. Colbeigh passed
on to the higher life at the age of IA
years.
she was woman of rare mother
heart, quiet and retiring. She wrought
her great work of usefulness within the
family circle. On July A, 1868. her hus-
band. member of the 34th regiment of
Massachusetts volunteers, lost his life
in his country's service, leaving his wife
with seven little children. This good
mother saw and felt the great respon-
shility resting upon her to steady the
feet of her children, that by and by
they might tread firmly in the ranks of
life.
Tt was in the home that her strong
and tender affections beamed out most
brightly and warmly. What she was
there. where the true character
most fully shows itself they
know whose loss is the greatest.
and whose grief will be ever mingled
with gratitude for the great blessings
which they have enjoyed in the privi-
leges of her society," in the tenderness
of her love, in the wisdom of her coun-
sells, in the motherly influences of her
conversation and her life. Unseb1shly
and uncomplainingly, she faithfully per-
formed her work and moulded the lives
Of her children into good men and
women.

One OF the most pitiful cases of sick
ness and poverty has been discovered
at No Il Washburn street, in the fam
lily of Alfred Chicoine, who is very dan
gerously ill. His wife, also, is in a
delicate condition from overwork and
lack of food.
Through the generosity of a few
neighbors, they have had little to eat
and succeeded Sunday in finding a
physician to visit them. Both received

two children will be taken care of by

LoTHRoP's OPERA HOUSE.
"chimmie Fadden" and His Associates
Please Patrons immensely

''Chimmie Fadden's" return visit to the
city, Monday night, was given with diff
ferent exponents than when at the Wor-
cester Theatre last season, but to the
equal satisfaction of the large host OF
spectators present. Charles E. Grape
win, who now plays Chimnfe, looks the
part better than his predecessor and
has more magnetism in attracting the.
sympathies of his audience. He sings
his Bowery song, "Chimmie Fadden," In
the first act with good effect, and in the
second gives a topical song, He isn't
in it, with pantomimic interludes az
clever as they are taking. May Donohue
has hard task to play the part OF
Mrs. Murphy after such an artist as
Marie Bates, but barring a little exag-
geration, does very well, and has the
house with her from start to finish. ].
b. Cooper is excellent as the imperturb-
able Mr.. Paul, with predilection for
small bottles" and the entire company
is much above the ordinary.
Those who have never seen the play
should not confound it with such pieces
as "On the Bowery," to which it is far
superior. "Chimmie Fadden'' Is a dram
atization made by Augustus Thomas o Z
Edward w, Townsend's popular collec-
ton of sketches under the same name,
and is play with good dramatic in

and a breezy, we'll written dialogue.
