Stuart Robson, who is one OF the most
studious of American actors, conceived
the idea some ten years ago after read
ing Boswen's Life of Johnson" and
Fosters Life of Goldsmith" that there
were big possibilities in comedy on the
life of Goldsmith. 1t was not. however.
until year ago that he suggested this
theme to Augustus Thomas. who bad al
ready written two successful plays for
Mr.. Robson. Mr.. Thomas. who Is IN
doubtedly the foremost OF American
dramatists, was delighted with the idea
and Immediately began to work on the
play. Mr. Robson viii appear as Oliver
Goldsmith, and as one might expect, he
will bring to the part not only al the
efficiency Of his art. but the love. the
character that led him to think OF the
play. Goldsmith" says Mr.. Robson,

FREDERICK WARD.

Theatre-goers are always interested IN
new plays. They are also interested in
successful ones. OF the hundreds of at
tempts this season to find vehicle to
meet the public favor, no greater success
has been made than the production OF a
new romantic comedy by Frederick
Warde. together with Mr.. and Mrs. Clar-
ence NJ Bruno and their superb organisa-
ton of leading men. This comedy was
first brought out in the west and met
with immediate recognition. The great
interest manifest by the public in 1.-THE
Dukes Jester,' is accounted for through
the natural Hkeing of things new and the
public's curiosity to see Frederick Warde
and Mrs. Bruno. both of whom stand
first as the leading legitimate artists of
the stage, in thorough comedy roles. 1.-THE
Dukes Jester, while an almost and really
quite hilarious comedy, deprives neither
these great geniuses of their standing as
classic readers, abounds with those
charming smiles and meaphores, border
ing on the classic, expressed in the rich
and smooth language, which shows the
master hand. The story is laid in Italy,
at the close of the Sixteenth century and
is based on love, intrigue and adventure.
The dominent feature. OF course. is fun.
the play being replete with humorous
and unusual situations. AS a scenic pro-
duction THE Dukes Jester is said to
be superb. Mr.. Warde carries a special
60-foot car to accommodate the equip
ment of this play alone, while the pro-
duction of 1.-The Lions Mouth" which
will be remembered here as the most
beautiful play on the stage. Is carried in
another car together with the sixty
trunks of the company.

1T seems that the Memorial Asso-
citation had their origin in the wifely
devotion of the memory of her hus-
band of Mrs. Charles j. Williams, of
Columbus, Ga, whose husband Colo
mel of the Seventh Georgia regiment
died in 1852. Mrs. Williams and her
little daughter regularly placed flowers
on his, and the graves of other SOL
d1ers, and this probably suggested to
her the formation of associations
among the ladies throughout the
south Tor the general observance of
the beautiful n tender Office of de-
corating the graves Of c~onfederates
everywhere at least once a year.
With this object in view, she sent a
communication to the Columbus Times
in March 1856, suggesting that the
press Of the entire south AXE up the
matter, and urge 1t upon the attention
OF southern m This was done,
and April 18th was set as the day of
observance, that being the date of the
surrender of General Joseph E. john
ston.
I'VE have no late as to the first or
~ganization OF this character, but the
first movement in Wilmington was rep
resented by an editorial article in the
Wilmington Journal Of May 10th, 1866,
calling upon the soldiers, survivors Of
the south to band themselves together
into an organization 'for the sacred
purpose of collecting the remains of
those who FELL" and concluding with
the assertion that 1.-THE ladies OF our
city will, of couse, soon establish a Me-
mortal Association. It Is noticeable
in his connection, that the first memo
rial celebration in this state Of which
we ma any record, was held in Tar

THE Boer forces under General
Cronje are estimated at 5000 men, At

hours, which was refused. Later he
sent a messenger to say that he would
surrender.
THE British General sent a reply
telling him to come into camp. CronJe
refused, saying there had been mis-
understanding, and that he would fight
to the DEATH
THE bombardment was then reopen
ed, and our lyddette shells set fire to the
Boer wagons. We continued Smelling

In the morning we resumed with
