This sacred cantata, to be given
this and tomorrow evenings in
Wineman's opera house under the
auspices of the XIX Century club
is historical play of stirring in
terest that brings forward woman's
fortitude and sacrifice when duty
demands it. Esther was born 500
years before Christ. Being an or
phan from infancy, she was adopt
ed by her uncle, Mordecai, who,
recognizing her great natural
beauty, trained her in the accom-
plishments of highest womanhood.
She was chosen by the king of the
realmtto be his wife and queen.
She did not disclose her nation
ality. Haman aspremier and fav-
orite of the king, hated Mordecai
because he would not worship him
as the king had commanded, not
knowing Mordecai's relation to the
queen. To be avenged, he obtain
ed a decree for destroying all the
Jews II the province. Mordecai
discovers the plot and charges the
queen to petition the king for the
safety of her people, which she
does at the peril of her life, on ac-
count Of the law that no one shall
go to the king unbidden. The
king hears her petition, and Haman
is defeated. Haman.has prepared
a gallows for Mordeeai. an attend
ant informs the kinlgpf the fact,
and the king ORDERS Henan to be
hanged from it, Ahd%proclaims
Mordecai premier in ohis stead,
and all the people rejoice. Follow
