An Operetta at New Windsor college,
Reported for the Democratic Advocate.


On Friday evening, March 10th, the Ope-
Windsor College Choral Glass before one of
the largest and most enthusiastic audiences
ever assembled in the college hall.
The Caste was us follows Lady Nancy
Bell, MISS Sarah NJ. Smith; Lord Lowell, Mr..
Clarence Clemson, of Clemsonville; Rumti-
sooz'e, Mr.. l.. FL. Dielman; Baron Billy, Mr..
MAJ hall Lindsay; Fatima, Miss Florence
Englar; Herald, Mr.. Herbert Getty.
Special soloists in the play were Miss Anne
LA c. Engle, Mrs. Donna Mullineaux, Miss
Joanna Kleetisch, Mrs. A. G. Smelser, Mrs.
J. A. Burlington; Messrs. Harry Stouffer, G..
C. Anders, Grant Hiltibridle, N. FL. Bale
and William Sittig.
A variety of pleasing solos, catchy choruses,
fascinating fancy dances and an amusing plot
go to make up the play.
Miss Sara Smith, as s'Lady Nancy" could
not be surpassed; her acting was graceful and
charming, showing thorough appreciation
of her part. Mr.. Clemson, as "Lord Lowell, "
was in every sense knightly and chivalrous
lover. Mr.. Clemson's voice is rich and mel
low, and well adapted to the role. Mr.. Diel-
man, as Rumtifoozle," was inimitable, his
many local hits and witty speeches keeping
the house in constant uproar. The parts OF
"Baron Billy" and "Fatima" were equally
well sustained.
The excellent rendition of the various solos
was attested to by the numerous encors de-
manded by the audience. A notable feature
of the play was the beautiful costuming, which
made the tableaux brilliant and attractive.
Through an ingenious arrangement of electric
lights fine color effects were produced. With
the Operetta the class adjourns for a few
months. The director, Mrs. ]. S. Abbott, has
proven herself to be a most able teacher.
Much of the success of the play was due to
DR.. j. A. Burlington, who, as stage manager,
was untiring in his efforts, and to Miss Edith
Monroe, the efficient accompanist.
The remaining members of the chorus were
Misses Lima Dielman, Mary Nourse, Marie
Bale, Lamora Bankerd, Edna Snader, Elsie
Stevenson, Cora Lambert, Florence Nusbaum;
Messrs Kelso Anders and Thomas Slingluff.
Two distinguished foreigners, John Bull and
Dom Paul, were personated by Masters John
f. Burlington and Paul Smelser, whose unex-
pected appearance caused much merriment

BLooMsBuRG, Pa, March 19.-The melting
of the snow last night revealed the terrible

resided near Hetlerville, little village few
miles from here. Their mangled bodies were
found near the barn, where both had fallen
victims to the fury of vicious Jersey bull.
Since Thursday they bad lain where they met
their DEATH
From the surroundings it is clear that Mr..
Stout was attacked by the animal and gored
and trampled to death when he went TO let his
cattle out of the paddock. The superstition
is that his wife,. seeing him in peril, rushed 10
his assistance and was also killed. Her body
was torn almost beyond recognition, and near
ly all tie clothing stripped from her. The
bones of her legs and arms were broken.
