There was good audience present
to hear Elder o. L. Smiths lecture
upon Heroes" Friday night even
though the weather was bad which
prohibited many from attending.
1t was a brilliant lecture, to our
mind uneXcelled by any of the course.
His remarks 10 the beginning of the
ancient countries and their individual
heroes, were carefully selected, the
OutgrOwth no doubt of much study:
and the heroes of every day life of
which he spoke, whose names may
not be recorded upon public pages, of
whose noble acts the public sees but
little-are the ones who deserve more
than equal share of the praise.
Throughout the entire lecture the
undivided attention was held by the
speaker and that his remarks were
meeting with approval was clearly
proven by the numerous and loud
applause. Elder Smith is a favorite

Wellington is just now experience
ing demonstration Of the power OF
the great Standard Oil trust. One
Of our hardware dealers this spring
found he could make better terms
with the Interstate Oil company.
He followed the dictates of business
judgment, exercised his American
right to deal where he pleased and
bought of the Interstate company.
No sooner had he done so than the
Standard Oil company sent one of
its representatives to the other hard
ware dealer offering him exceedingly
advantageous terms to handle their
oils and fight the dealer who dared
to buy of other people than the
Standard Oil company. The other
dealer recognized the illegitimacy Of
such knock down warfare and de-
clined to enter into such an unholy
alliance. The giant trust found an
agency, however, and is now offering
lubricating oils as low as 10 cents a
gallon. When once the detenSelesS
competition is out of the way the
piratical Standard Oil Trust will ad,
vance the price to a figure above the
legitimate price and "hold the con-
sumers up" to make the trust whole
and more. We would rather pay
50 per gallon for oil than support
and encourage such piracy.

ballads in pleasing fashion, and the rest

considerable grace. Frank O'Brien's S

excellence of every member in the cast
and second, the admirable way in which
each supported his fellows. The perfor-
nance was remarkably even and smooth
throughout, humor, satire. tragedy. and
farce being alike well portrayed. The
staging and costuming of the work was
commendable though not so elaborate
as TO draw attention from the acting. The
only fault tc be found with that part
of the affair was in the last act. which Is
supposed to tax place in the official room
in the British embassy in Paris 1t seem
ed a little odd that the only hanging on
the wall of this apartment should have
been a huge map of the United States,
without a scrap of any British possession
on its surface. But that is a very small
thing.
The part of Henry Beauclerc was taken
by Edgar L. Davenport. who played II
with a cleverness and finish whlcn
amounts TO genius He was, perhaps, at
his best in the scene with the countess IN
the last act but in two or three speeches
during the interviews with Capt Beau
clerc his lines were spoken with an abso-
lutte naturalness very rare on the stage.
He did not give the emotional phrases
the effect of elocution usual in such
work: they were spoken precisely as a
man would be likely to speak under the
circumstances William G. Beach pre-
serted the role of Capt. Beauclerc with
much power and pathos. Frank Nor
daunt did a capital piece of acting as
Baron Stein, and the character may be
ranked as one of the best of his creations
The mingled craftiness and comicality
of the willy nobleman was beautifully
brought out and that in way that was
as fine and subtle as twas strong AS
Dora Miss Una Abel did very well, and
her irnpersonation was charming in the
extreme.
The humorous element of the play was
furnished by Donald G. Bowles, as Algie
Fairfax. and Mrs Kate Denim Wilson, as
the Maruuise de Rio Zares. The former
part is not a large one, but Mr.. Bowles
managed TO extract a great deal of fun
from it, In fact, the audience was smii-
ing whenever he CHANGED 10 be on the
stage Mrs. Wilson made one of the most
captivating comic old ladies ever seen.
The difficult part of the Countess Zicka
was successfully played by Mary Shaw,

fered number of bright bits. Count
Orloff was done by Frank E. Aiken, who
was at his best in the second act, and his

TWO LIVES LOST IN A FIRE.
Frank Harvey and George strauss
Burned to n Crisp.

morning fire in a hotel at Elmwood. one
of the suburban towns of this city, today
two men, Frank Harvey and George
Strauss, were burned TO a crisp and a
dozen others had narrow escapes.
The hotel was a frame structure and
went up like a tinder box. The proprie-
tor, John Shepard, had barely time to get
out and awaken the guests by throw
ing stones at the windows. Among those
who had narrow escapes Were Joe Dun
fee, one-time noted pugilist, who kno k
ed down FitZsimmons in a bout, and Miss
Hazel Tidd, an actress. Dunfee was COM
PEELED to jump from a second story Win
dow in order to escape, and Miss Tidd
from a third story window, landing in
the arms of Shepard, who stood ready to
catch her. Both escaped injury. Several
small buildings were burned with the no.
tel. The loss will not exceed $4,000.
