PRESBYTERIAN BENEFIT
A Feast of Laughter and a Flow of
Song

The entertainment given for
the benefit of the Presbyterian
manse at the Opera House last
night was, in every sense Of the
word, an "evening with the
classics,' and merited the large
house it received, and the apprc7
citation of the audience was keen
and discriminating in the render
ing of parts assigned the differ
ent actors.
Mr.. H. L. Anderson appeared
before the curtain rose and after
a few complimentary remarks
retired, and Miss Nellie Hubbard
opened the exercises by reciting
in good voice the "Song of the
Camp" followed by camp
scene, which Messrs. VanEchop,
Dale, Ingram, S. Ditto. A. j.
Gerig, Mexican and j. Taylor IL
lustrated.
Miss May Alfred recited the
CANCELS of Buena VISTA" when
the quartet, composed Of Cullen,
Dale, Stapylton and Woodrow,
sang "Mrs. Wnslow's Soothing
Syrup" which proved an excel
lent dose for the audience, which
they gulped down with glce and
"cried for more.''
Tennyson's "Dream of Fair
Women" was represented by a
bouquet Of Ocala fairies, that
presented a picture of living
beautiesss which frightened the
eve and cheered the heart.
II. L. Anderson, Esq, read in
a clear, distinct voice the words
Of the dream, while the following
fair women posed for the charac-
ters. Helen of Troy, Mrs. j. NJ.
Benton; lphlGenia, Miss Sidney
Pasteur; Cleopatra, Miss Edith
Piatt; Jephthah's Daughter,
Miss Venable; Fair Rosamond,
Mrs F. d. Mason; Queen Beren-
garia, Miss Marx; Joan Of Arc,
Miss Neathers, panoplicd in
armor.
Miss Lena Bullock sang a solo
with fine effect. The young lady
has a good voice and with tram
ing will make a star warbler.
One of the best things of the
evening was scene from Scott's
"Lady of the Lake." and the
manner in which Miss Lillils All
red and Mr.. Norcross acquitted
themselver was flattering indeed
Miss Leafy Sylvester, who, as
years multiply, is growing into
the statue of a young woman,
and with it graduating into an
excellent actress, personattd the
character, Glow Grandma

grace.
The Balcony Scene" from
Romeo and Juliet, elected, as it
always does, the riveted atten-
tion of the audience. The char
acters were we'll chosen for the Cx-
preston Of the sentiments Of the
scene. Will Gary, by form, fea-
lures, expression, Interpretation
and rendering Of the lines did
himself, as he always does,
credit, who to hear IS a pleasure;
while the inspiration and object
Of his alteration presented a pic
ture Of female loneliness and at
tractiveness that would at sight
ditfuse a heart of ademant.

he would first induce to advertise coun-
sellers and attorneys, then surgeons and
gardeners, lawyers, schools and wood

OK CUTS, hoops, onions, pictures, feath-

painted sticks, sweet soap, Scotch Goals

dent that owing to the efforts Of
Houghton, an appreciation of the bene-
fits of newspaper advertising was be-
ginning to become general. In fact, the
advent and the work of Houghton mark
an era in the evolution Of newspaper
advertising. The style he introduced
was cumbersome and artificial, but he
impressed on his contemporaries the
great usefulness of the newspaper as an
advertising medium The advertising
of the next century-the eighteenth
bears the impress of his work. Curl
ously enough, it did not make much i'm
proyement on his methods. 1t remain

know? She is Mrs. Ray. She is ON a
visit at the Priory She is cousin Of Mr..
Charters"

heved, she scarcely knows why.
"She is a widow now,' says her com

declining all offers and invitations to- ex-
change it, or walk off with an attendant
swain, as most of the Dulcineas and
Chloes are doing.

tishly; and at last she gets her wish. +"
She leans back with half-closed eyes
''only to think" she says.
The thought must have been long one,
for at last she opens them with a start.
Voices in the rear are talking eagerly.

bler' says one
''It is perfectly true. I had it on the
best authority" answers another. "The
two brothers were very fond Of each 9th
er, and they both lived together always.
Denzil was the younger, as you know. But
when Hubert brought his wife home to
the Priory, all the old love and friendship
was broken up. She and Denzil fell in
love. How far things had gone no one
knew; but at last Hubert discovered it,
and the shock was so awful that he killed
himself-was found, with the pistol in his
hand, lying dead one summer morning"
"And the wife?' interrogates the first
voice eagerly.

No one ever knew what became of her.
It was terrible scandal, Of course, and!
the Priory was shut up and Denzil went
away for years and years. He has been
quite changed ever since. They say he
will never marry He hates women"
Yoande rises to her feet weak and
faint.
The story she has unwittingly heard
seems horrible. She longs for solitude
as she never has longed for it before.
Blindly she rushes on through the wood
land glades, her heart throbbing wildly
her pulses quivering.
Suddenly she pauses in her headlong
career, as if turned to stone. Not half a
dozen yards ahead she sees the figure of a
man lying face downward on the cold
green sward-a man whose frame is shak-
en- by voiceless sobs, whose whole atti-
tude betokens a fearless, terrible despair.
She knows only too well who he is.
She draws back and goes away with
noiseless steps and dry and burning eyes.

CHAPTER III.

Money troubles are not unknown to the
venerable owner of Mervyn Court, though
he keeps them to himself and never seeks
to deny any of his children one single de-
sire of their hearts in consequence.
"Yolande will marry WE'LL" he thinks
often. as he looks at the brilliant beauty
of his cherished frst-born, ''and for the
others | can manage"
He thinks it again one bright spring
morning as the three girls are standing
on the steps leading to the terrace, await
ing the arrival of 4 wagonette in which
Mr.. Hargreaves and Judith have promised
to convey them to picnic in Beechhamp-
ton Woods.
The wagonette stops close beside Them
and Mrs. Hargreaves' hearty voice rings
cheerily out in welcome. After much talk
ing. laughing and advising. the party set
tie down. The girls kiss their hands, the
old white-haired man waves his in re-
Spouse: then they are off. whirling away
through the delicious sunshine, over
smooth. white roads. on and on, till they
pause at length at the appointed rendez-
yous, where the other members of the
picnic party are awaiting them.
They are rather large party, and there
is goodly sprinkling of the eligible youth
of the neighborhood. and also small
complement of the military from the adj
jacent town of Colston. Then an excur-
sion to the ruins of Beechhampton Castle
is agreed upon. and the pleasure seekers
are forthwith marshaled into pairs or par
ties.
Yolande is attended by her faithful
adorer. Lance Stapleton. but she foils his
intention of securing tete-a-tete by a
glance of invitation at certain Captain
Deringham. Poor Lance has a bad time
of it, 1t is with a sigh of intense relief
that he at last halls the sight of the ruins.
and sees the other members of the party
exploring them in every direction.
He waits for moment to diseatangIe
some forlorn damsel's train from the en-
braces of wild rose bush near by, and
then hastens to rejoin his former compan-
IONS They are nowhere to be seen. Nexed
and impatient at losing Yolande-for he
had made up his mind to be her guide
through the deserted chambers of the old
castle-he hurried on. looking right and
left for the radiant figure of his enchant-
ress-but in vain.
Meanwhile Yolande has, by an ingen-
ious strategem. got rid of her enamored
captain, and light as bird on the wing,
she hits in solitary delight through the
ruined hall, the moss-grown corridors. and
gloomy broken stairways of the castle.

DEMAND TO BE FREE.
Filipinos File a Second Plea at Wash
iE2tOn.


iEgton.
Secretary Hay now has ON the official
file in his office a letter or memorandum
handed in by Felipe Agoncllo, the Fill
rpino representative of Aguinaldo, setting
forth the reasons why the natives of the
Philippine Islands should have an indie
pendent government without interference
from the United States.
One of the first items of the memoranda
is to the effect that Spain did not have
possession of the islands at the time the
treaty of peace was signed, and that
treaty is looked upon as nil. Another is
that the Filipinos have established and
maintained an Independent government
similar to that of the United States, for
seven months. Agoncillo wants to know
when he will be given an opportunity to
present his cause to the President.
