GRIFFITH DAVENPORT.

In Griffith Davenport" which will
be given at the Hyperion next Friday
evening the eminent character actor
and fist, James A. Herne, is said
to have given the American stage the
only truthful and comprehensive play of
the civil war yet written. In this play,
Mr.. Herne does not show the outward
conflict and there are no battle scenes
and there are no bombastic scenes about
the north and south. Instead of these
are shown the social, civil and ethical
conditions that prevailed and the most
thoughtless may read as in an open book
how the rebellion come about. AS a
famous writer has said: "Mr. Herne
shows us the soul of that great con-
flict" Mr. Herne considers Griffith
Davenport" his greatest play and all are
agreed that it is superior to "Shore
Acres" or Hearts of oak" Sale of
seats opens Wednesday. Prices, $3.50, 81
and IS cents.

Pure Water and Health.

We have in Douglas City very good system of water works from which, by the payment of a small monthly sum, all may enjoy the use of water that is brought fresh from the mountain tops. Yet, in spite of this large per cent of the population are using water that runs through the town in creeks and carries with it the refuse and offal from the entire upper part of the city. In many cases this is done because the position seems to offer no other eX- pedient, but all owners of rent prop erty should provide water taps where tenants may have access to them. Pure water is the first essential to good health. Douglas is healthy. Let us keep it so.

Judging by the IberaIity of our citizens in the past, we expect that it will not be long until the small amount necessary to complete this building, will be sub- scribed.
 We are then promised something novel, dedicatory service without a subscription list or a begging address. We think the plan good one and hope all who usually have something to give at the time of dedication will give it now, as Mir. ReplogIe says Sl now is better than the promise of g after a while.

GREEK ART AND LITERATURE.
An Excellent Program, Filled With Gems of
 Thought.

An Excellent Program, Filled With Gems of
 Thought.
 A feast for the intellect was prepared and served by the Douglas Literary Society, at their last Thursday night meeting. The program had been care fully arranged, so that the subject, "Greek Art and Literature" might be handled as extensively as possible in the short time devoted to the meetings.
 Mrs. w. Gould opened the program with vocal solo, Mrs. Ross playing the accompaniment.
 Miss Lizzie McKenna handled the subject, "Greek Philosophers" in a clear and concise manner, which showed a good general knowledge of the matter in hand
 Miss Katherine Spiers explained the meaning of Greek Mythology and made it interesting to all. She concluded her paper with the mythological tales, "How fire was brought to the earth" and "How suffering and disease came among men,"
 MT. w. o. Graham in his paper on "Greek Literature" covered nearly the whole ground of art and literature. His production showed a thorough knowledge of the task he had under taken. Among many other interesting things MT. Graham said, If all copies of Greek art were removed from the United States, the loss would be more general than one would suppose. The White House, at Washington, D. C., would be a complete ruin, the great Boston library building would fall to the ground and the damage to the Worlds Colum bian Exposition would have amounted to more than S1O,OOO,O00. He spoke of Solon, lawyer and poet, and quoted from his and other writings extensively.
 Miss Gertrude Spiers on "Art and Architecture" exhibited to her sur prised hearers the evidence that we of today are extensive imitators of the ancient Greeks, not only in our beauti- ful columns erected in some splendid buildings, but in the simplest things of everyday home life: in our stoves and chairs, wall paper and door locks, we copy the artistic mouldings and designs of the Greeks, After a recess,

which was occupied in examining Perry pictures of Greek art, a solo by Mrs. Gould, was followed by an address by Mir. Raymond Robins, on Greek Poets, Historians and Orators. MT. Robbins spoke of the poets, orators and his torians of Greece in an oH-hand way which showed great familiarity with the subject. In few sentences to each he gave the peculiar characteris- tics of Homer and Hesiod, then of the great tragic poets, Kschylus, Sopho- cles and Euripides, showing in what each excelled; but his finest word pie ture was his description of that prince of comedians, Aristophanes. He com pared Herodotus and Thucydides with modern historians, showing the former to be worthy of the title "Father of History" aud that the latter's "History of the Peloponnesian War" is yet a masterpiece. He gave vivid descrip- ton of Demosthenes' "Oration on the Crown" first describing the Oration by his rival, Hschines, the applause, per sons fainting under his eloquence; then how Demosthenes so far surpas- sed him that he fled from Athens.

THE FRIENDS NEN CHURCH.
Being Erected in Douglas City Under the Direction of Rev.
 C. N. RepIogle.
BUILT ON A CASH PLAN.

The new Friends Mission Church that is being erected on Fourth street in this city is attracting considerable attention, and no doubt many will be interested in knowing something ot the plans of the builders.
 With this in mind we sought and obtained an interview with Rev. c. N. Replogle, who has the matter in hand. Mr. Replogle, before entering the ministry, was a carpenter and con tractor by trade and so is perfectly competent to superintend the erection of this edifce.
 The main building is to be 40 by 50 feet, with portico 10X12, covering the steps at the entrance, which is to be in the front of the structure, to your left as you approach. As you enter you will find yourself in a triang- uIar shaped room, with large double doors leading into the main audience room. This is in the form of perfect octagon. The ceiling is to be IS feet above the floor. In the corner of the building, opposite the entrance, is an- other triangular shaped room which will be used as a library. At the rear end are two similar rooms which will be used as Sunday school rooms and serve to complete the octagon. They will be provided with large folding doors on the hypotheuse, also connect ing with the alcove back of the pulpit, which will be on a raised platform, well forward between the two rooms. The octagon shaped audience room is to be 40 feet across. From the ceiling to the cone of the roof is p feet, making the total structure 40 feet high, which added to the feet of foundation in front makes the total height of the building As feet.
 The style of the roof is what IS called the King g-post gable, with the end to- ward the front of the building.
 The windows are to be set with plain, white glass, four 18x42 lights, with an IS inch transom above.
 The entire building is to be heated by furnace in the basement, using either wood or coal.
 The interior woodwork is to be of yellow cedar, treated with coating of hard oil.
 1 When done this new church will cer- tainly be an ornament to our city, and when the new bella S2OO one having been promised-first rings out it's voice of welcome every dollar of the cost will have been paid.
 Mir. Replogle informs us that the total cost will be about 817OO. Of this, S900 was secured i'll the east by the
