The Boer war is said to be about
over. The American revolution was
about over. from the same source of
information, from the beginning of it
till the end. And the Filipino war. as
we all know. was about over a year
ago. Gen. Roberts may end the Boer
WAT by getting his army out of the
country. That seems TO be the only
prospect Of settling the question.

expressed our regret at the multiplication
of these works which have been prepared
regardless of our urgent protest. Thes

A Successful Play.

The presentation Of Pygmalion and
Galatea on Friday evening at the Howe
Opera House demonstrated the fact that
we have in town talent for acting, for it
is universally agreed that it was the best
amateur performance ever given in st.
Johnsbrry. The play was presented un-
der the direction of Dr. c. F. O. Tinker
with the following cast of characters:
Pygmalion, an Athenian sculptor,
Mr.. Geo. d. Castor
Leucippe, a soldier. Mr.. Carl j. Greene
Chrysos, an art patron,
Agesimos, Chrysos' slave.
Mr.. Ernest F. Tinker
Mimos, Pygmalion's slave,
Mr.. Fred w. Taylor, Jr.
Galatea. an animated statue,
Miss Eva Louise Wilde
Cynisca, Pygmalions wife,
Miss Caroline S. Woodruff
Daphne, Chrysos' wife. Mrs. E. N. Randall
Myrine, Pygmalions sister.
Miss Marjorie Peabody
The Statue, Miss Sadie Batchelder
While all the parts were we'll taken,
there were a few so near the professional
that they deserve special mention. Miss
Wilde, who took the part originally
assigned to Mrs. Anna Spencer Frost,
acted her part to perfection and easily
took first rank. She appeared at perfect
ease on the stage and was so charmingly
ingenious that nothing better could have
been desired. Miss Woodruff showed a
careful inter i;ietation of her character
and was we'll received. That one eau
make success even when she does moth.
ing or says nothing was demonstrated
by the part Miss Batchelder took as the
statue Walter Husband easily took
first rank among the gentlemen in the
cast and disguised his voice to splendid
advantage.
During the second and third acts
Frank o. Frsnch presented some OF his
clever specialties and was repeatedly
encored.
The play was given for the Brightlool
Hospital Aid association and the gross
receipts were $245 45. The net receipts
were $1S2 40 and the ladies wish t.
thank all Tor their liberal patronage ant
for their help to such worthy cause.
