"The Beautiful Jewess Who was
Called the Princess of Her People,"
an article in the April Ladies' Home
Journal, tells of of the best beloved
woman of her race. She was the
prototype of the Rebecca of Scott's
"Ivanhoe," and one of the most
beautiful American bellies of her
day. In "The Lovers of a Cheerful
Giver" Rev. David NJ. Steeles nm
masks the cunning and trickery Of
vagrants who prey upon the gullible.
There is also an admirable drama
tization of Richard Harding Davis's
story, "The princess Aline," illust-
rated by Charles Dana Gibson, in
the April Journal. "How Golf is
Played" is shown in a series Of
photographs of Miss Griscom, the
American woman champion. Re-
plying to woman's questions
Edward Box advances some forcible
arguments for leading a simpler
life, and Helen Wattersou Moody
writes on "The First Tragedy in a
Girls Life" new fiction of the issue
is unusually inviting. There are
three stories: "The Mans Part" by
Gelett Burgess; The Little Sister
at Saints Lake." bv w. A. Fraser,
the Candian novelist; and "The
Learning that Abe Had,' a tail of
the Kentucky Mountains, by Laura
Spencer Portor. The three archite-
ctural feature will be of value to
every home seeker of moderate
means, and the fine showing of
fashions will interest all women and
girls. There are special articles on

TONY THE CONVICT.
Greeted with Large and Enthusiastic
Audience.


A most enjoyable entertainment
was that given last evening at the
court house in the presentation by
local talent of the drama, Tony the
Convict. The character of "Tony"
was taken by E. Payson Woods, and
admirably sustained throug bout.
There is an OPP ortunity in this part
for considerable dramatic talent
which was manifested in most able
manner. Mr.. Woods is at home on
the stage, and could easily be classed
among professionals. The part of
James Barclay was portrayed by T.
j. Riley: whose acting was a sur
prise TO even those who were already
aware of his accomplishments in the
way of elocution. II. Deffenbaugh
appeared to decided advantage as
Weary Wayside who, while seem
ingly a tramp, is in reality a detec-
tive and finally Glands his man."
Barclay, in the last act. His acting
in both characters was excellent and
showed that he had thoroughly
mastered the part. Levi Savage, as
Philip Warburton, was another role
of emotional nature well done, and
under physical difficulties, as Mr..
Savage was barely able to be out of
bed, but he played the part with
much feeling and in higaly credit
able manner. Judge Zuck simply
changed his name to Judge Van
Cruger and carried out IN a most
feeling manner the delicate emotion
of the part of foster father. Jack
son, the gentleman of COLOR" was
personated by Will Scorse in most
fetching end up to date cake-walk
costume. James Scorse, as Warden
Burrows, was an ideal officer. Miss
Alice Woods, as Lena, was assigned
one Of the most emotional roles and
sustained the trying part in a
charming manner. 1t was one call
ing for some versatility and as the
happy thoughtless girl and the sad
but dutiful daughter the different
emotions were all well carried out.
Miss Ellen Scorse, as Sally the
soubrette of the play, made decid-
ed hit and captivated the audience
with her ease and vivacity. Miss
Mercy McAllister, as Miss Sedley
the Old maid, was we'll made up for
the part and made herself so off
cious ard disagreeable as TO call out
the antagonism of Sally at every
opportunity, and acted the character
to perfection. Miss Maggie Garvin,
as Mrs. Van Cruger, carried out the
part of dignifed matron and that
Of the mother oi Lena in a very be-
coming manner.
Each and every part was most
acceptably rendered and showed
much conscientious work on the part
of all. The play was gotten up aud
directed by E. Payson Woods and
put on ia very short time. The
evenings entertainment concluded
with dance, in which almost all
participated, and lasted until late
hour. On the whole the entertain
ment was decided success.

DELIGHTFUL STAGE SCENE.

A DELIGHTFUL STAGE SCENE.
 One of the most charming scenes ever put upon the stage is that of the wheat field at harvest time in 'The Profess sors Love Story" the idyllic play by James M. Barrie, author of "The Little Minister etc, which will be seen for the first time in this city during MT Willard's forthcoming and final visit here.
 The first act of this most successful play takes place in the professors study, a dingy apartment filtered all over with the paraphernalia incidental to the pursuits of the science of elec- tricity, and the change from this dust laden and cob-webbed room, in which the man of science has grown before his time, to the hill-sides of Scotland covered with fields of waiving grain, interspersed with the poppy and other wild flowers indigenous to the land o'eakes draws from the delightfed spectator the most enthusiastic ap- plause.
 In a country lane at eventide this most delightful play comes to a termin- ation.
