encountered and blind shots received
from them, but they made no stand
worthy the name. The line swept
through Sancta Maria leaving the town
for the reserves to burn, and made for
the foothills Of the mountains. Coming
to river running to the armpits the
men dashed through in a fairly good
line and climbed the steep and slippery

THE WINTERS TALE"
The Greatest Theatrical Attraction of
the Season.

Its the only show on the road" said
the member of a theatrical attraction
here last week, speaking of ''The Win
ter's Tale" as played here last night by
the james Kidder-Hanford combination
He was right. The performance at
the Academy of Music last night was the
theatrical event here this year, and those
who missed it have great cause for re-
greet.
The acting could hardly have been bet
ter. The costumes were correct and
splendid, the stage settings were very
fine-and altogether it was the best show
that will be here Ior many a day.
Nothing could have been better, grand
er than MIR. Hanford's portrayal of the
character of Leontes, King of SicilIa.
How sudden and terrible the kings jeal-
ousy! How it blazed up all ait once as a
distenpered frenzy, soul-goading pas
sion that Writings noble mature to acts
of revengeful cruelty, but which were no
sooner committed that repented of. These
passions and impulses Were portrayed
by Mr. Hanford with all the naturalness
and force of reality.
Side by side with this picture was
that of the patient resignation and in
mocent suffering of his wronged wife
Hermione Miss hldder), under circum-
stances of the deepest anguish. In it
Miss Kidder was superb-her awful an
guish, her irldfgnant remonstrance, the
triumph of wronged innocence, the sor-
row at the loss of her cInld
And then the scene shifts to one of joy
and there as another character Miss
Kidder is equally at home. What an eS-
quisite pastoral scene was that I'm which

Kidder) are developed pastoral of the
golden age. How gracefully she distrib-
utes her enblemafic favors to the shep-
herds and shepherdesses! How gracious
ly she welcomes the mobile guests of the
old shepherd! With what modest, uncon-
sciogs dignity are all her words and ac-
tions accompanied! A kings daughter
