Realized a Good Sum.

The production of Because She
Loved Him So" which was given at
the opera house on the evening of Me-
mortal day, under the auspices of the
young men of st. Rose parish, was d
great success financially. After meet
ing the expenses incidental to the pro-
duction, about $500 will have been
cleared. This sum exceeds the young
mems expectations, and they are sin
cerely grateful for the support which
the public gave to the enterprise. The
success of the undertaking also re-
fleets the hustling qualities of the
