The citizens of Farmville are under
obligations to Mr. Howard, the earnest
and efficient secretary of the Young
Mems Christian Association, for intro
ducing a high order of entertainments,
the second Of which was given on last
Friday evening, when Mr.. Edward p.
Elliott occupied the boards, and de-
lighted his audience from start to
finish. He introduced the programme
by reciting two exquisite selections
from the gifted Riley, and then for an
hour gave the american Citizen" in
all its details of pathos and comedy,
personatng the various characters
with marvellous accuracy and power,
and without the aid Of music or other
man or woman, doing the full work of
we'll appointed company. He closed
with an artistic and .ludicrous repro
duction of a conceited and lOve-struck
dude, leaving the stage amid a perfect
storm of applause and his audience
charmed with his varied gifts and un-
challenged genius.
On the 26th we are promised the
Glee Club Of Browns University, and
that must mean an evening Of rare en-
iOyment.

councils attention to a second hand
dynamo which can be purchased for
$3.50.
The original cost Of this dynamo is
stated to have been about $1,000, in
use only three months and guaranteed I
to be in first class condition. Ii has /
capacity for from 600 to 500 lights.
The capacity Of the towns present
dynamo is $50 lights, and has been in
the use of the town for nine years,
having been a second hand piece of
machinery when installed here.
Mr.. Wicker stated that whenever a
patron of Farmville's electric lights did
not have good light, 1t was from no
fault of the towns plant, but due to
defective or long worn lamps.
Mr.. Erambert moved tina; the dyna-
mo be purchased at once. There was
no second to the motion.

A COLONIAL GIRL.

ga Colonial Girl" one cf the lat
est of the New York Lyceum sue
cesses, which Daniel Frohman will
present at the Opera House on
Monday, March -, was first pro-
ducedin New York in the fall of
1898. 1t made a very strong i'm
preston and had a long run to
crowded houses at that theatre,
and subsequently duplicated its
success in many Of the principal
cities of the country. This is the
first season of regular production
on the road and its first time in this
city. Theplay is a stirring drama
of old New York in Revolutionary
times. 1t is love story and though
the uniforms of the military, both
British and Continental, are in evi-
dencc here is none of the tur-
moil and smell of powder which is
incidental to war play. The ac-
tion begins in a delicate vein of
comedy and as the interest grows,
the theme becomes more serious,
and the second act curtain falls on
a tremendous climax in which the
hero, Godfrey, and American pa
triot, hard pressed by British pur-
suers, escaped through secret
panel behind the old clock, and
next is seen at the bramble-cholied
mouth Of the secret passage, which
leads from the banks of the neigh
boring Hudson. Mr.. How ard Gould,
who is the star of the company was
last seen here as Rudolph in "The
Prisoner of Zenda."

A SHEEP THEIR
SACRIFICE.
Lascar Seamen Perform
Weird Rite on lncOnl-
ing Steamer.

Incoming pilots yesterday told Of
wjerd ceremony held on board tho British
steamer Border Knight, which arrived at
the Delaware Breakwater on Sunday
morning from far away Vizagapatain.
The Border Knights crew is largely conn.,
posed of vllainous looking Lasoars from
the Malay archipelago, andto celebrate
their safe arrival after weeks of combat
with wind and wave they performed .
most extraordinary sacrifle of living ami
NAL, as babarlc thank Offering to their
divinity, who they think mas brongh
them in safety over the troubled sea.
| When the B"rder knight dropped ans
chor in the harbor Of refuge at the Dela-s
ware Capes. Captain Spiatt sent at ones
| tu.be enacted under the Union Jack on the
docks of his ship, and as the crew are good
and faithful men ho saw no reason why
he should oppose them in their religioue
observances.
The purchase of sheep was necessary
from the fact that the one brought espec-
tally for this ceremony from Colombo
whore the steamer touched on December
IL, had died on the voyage
After the animal bad been received on
| board, its legs were tied and it was thrown
to the deck. Then the priest, who enjoys
the benefit of a free living on the vessel
without work, being supported by the
crew peri ormsd his only hard work since
the Border knight had weighed anchor in
the Bay of Bengal. just two months ago
/, With knife he stabbed the blehting
animal in the mock and In an instant had
possel himssH OF four blesding frag-
ments which he hurled to the four points
Of the compass, while his companions SUR
rounded him, chanting unearthly songs
Of their native land. Then the sheop was
cooked and eaten by the men at their even.
ing meal.
While such repast is in progress tho
officers OF vessels carrying Lascars as sea-
men are very careful not to intrude. The
sailors of that race think thst there is con-
tamination in even the shadow Of chris
tian, aud If such even foil upon the car
cass OF the sheep, there would be no alter
native but TO cast 1t into the sea.
Captain Spiatt says that these Lascars
make as good sailors as any who have
ever signed shipping papers. Mastrs Of
vessels from Asia many OF which have ar.
rived at Philadelphia during the past year
say that they make strenuous efforts to
secure them while they are In such ports
as Colombo, Samabaya. Proholinsa and
others of tho Orient. They never desert
and are amenable to discipline
The Border Knight Is loaded with
large cargo of ore; She passed up tho river
yester day, but only reached Reedy Island
where she was held up by the quarantine
officers. This action caused much COM
mcnt In shipping circles, and is attributed
to tho fact that the steamer is from that
part Of India alleged to bs in the grasp
OF tho dreaded bubonjc plague.
