HOME TALENT
At the VendOme Last Night a
Grand Success.

The long looked for occasion of
Nov. 9TH, 'sUnder Two Flags
by the Jefferson Dramatic Club,
took place last night at the Ven
dome Opera House.
The play was a surprise ian
agreeable surprise) to many in the
audience, as a great many did not
expect that so good a performance
could be given by all local talent
here in New Iberia
Though the house was not taxed
to it's utmost capacity it never
theless was we'll filled down stairs,
and with an intelligent and APP
preciative audience. just before
the raising,of the curtain in the
first act, 80 young ladies, all in
evening dress, with three chap
erones, came in single file, and
brought forth a great deal of ap.
plause.
The curtain went up on the first
act at $50, and the play was on
for good, and interesting from
beginning to end.
Miss Annie B. Mathews as
Cigarette, deserves special men
ton, for it would be very difficult
to find one who could have taken
off the part as well as she did
Miss Mathews is young and
pretty girl, yet in her teens, and
full Of fire aud eloquence, and the
manner in which she played the
part Of a French soldier, was mag
nificent.
In the fourth and last act, she
gave her life to save that of BERTHE
Cecil, whom she is desperately in
love with, and in the death scene
that follows, was her best part Of
acting. Miss Matthews promises to
some day distinguish herself, and

hard to find a better troupe.
The Club is booked to play at
Jeanerette this evening, where,
judging for the advance sale OF
seats, they will have a full house.
Arrangements are now being
made to book the Club at st.
Martinyille and Opelousas, and
if they play as well as they did
here last night, they can not fail
to please the most fastidious.

The war with Spain cost, accord
ing to a statement Of the treasury
department just ISSUED, the sum OF
s513, $50, 9o7-or aboat s94 to each
family in this country. Had such a
tax been laid directly upon the
families to be col ected as are ordi-
nary taxes, 1t would have caused a
national eommotion greater than
the war itself. Wars come high,
but contractors profit by them. The
men who did the fighting got
mighty little OF this vast sum. Per

HIGH SCHOOL COURSE.

At the Vendome Opera House,
on Wednesday, November 18th,
Mr.. Edward z. Elliot, in modern
comedies, will present David Ha
rum.
There are a great many nper-
senators in America, and great
many of them have been in Vic
hita, but it seldom happens that
one Of them has genius enough to
bring ont characters in such a de-
lightfdI way that you would give
the second price of admission If
you could really see the characters
walk out on the platform. IN PRO
PRIA PERSONA, and wait a min
ute until you. could get good
look at them. Mr. Elliot does this.
You do not realize that these
characters are not there in reality
until Mr. Elliott turns around te
leave the stage. He took 1,50t
people on a jolly trip with 'sChris
topher, Jr.,n last night through
three acts of as high class, clear
cut, good comedy as is seen in thu
west. There were no stage sett
ings, no costumes, all done will
brains, and Mr.. Elliot is well quail
flied. Wichita (Kan.) Eagle,

ent, is pretty, and very young
Dave Davis as an Irish knight
of the pigskin, was another popu-
lar fayorite. Dave is a ''natural
born one. and never fails to
amuse his audience. His make up
as livery man in the first act
was splendid, and as a soldier OF
the 'EFrench Army he displayed
considerable talent.
Dave is quite at home on the
stage, and can always be depend
ed upon to be at the very top of
his part.
Mr. Godfrey Templeton, as Der
tie Cecil, was another very good
character. Mr.. Templeton has seen
quite a good deal of the stage, as
was evidenced by his ease of
movement, and gracefulness last
night. He is quite a young man;
full of life, and quite an elocu-
Zionist. AS leading man, Dir. TEN
pleton had a splendid opportunity
to display his abilities, and did
not fail to do so, especially in the
first act, when Berkely, his brother
asks him for money, and he re.
fuses to borrow some for him.
Mr.. Templeton is a popular SO
ciety young man from New Or
leans, and came up especially to
take the leading part in the play.
Samson Chauvln, as Berkely
Cecil, brother of BERTHE Cecil, took
his part off very good, especially
so, as that was his very first at
tempt at acting.

LADIES STAG PARTY.

One of the features at the Ven
dome Opera House Tuesday was
a young ladies stag in which 80
took part. The young ladies were
all in evening dress and came in
single file just before the curtain
went up, bringing forth a great deal
of applause.
Four rows in the right isle had
been especially reserved for them
and a number of such pretty and
winsom young ladies would not
fail to attract the admiration of
the most fastidious.
It is quite evident that the cast
appreciated the honor intended
for them by these young ladies,
and it is safe to say that they all
felt grateful to the following:

in Rochester, N Y, in 1894. His successor
was General Lewis F. Ellis, who was elect
ed at the national encampment held at
Lima, Ohio, in 1895, and the next year the
national encampment was held at Bing-
hamton, n. Y, when General c. w.
Woods was elected. In 1897 the encamp-
ment was held at Springfield, Ohio, and
General H. l.. Street was elected national
commander He infused into the order
new life and energy and there was decided
prosperity during his administration. The
next encampment was held at Rock Is
land, ILL.,, in 1885, when General r. g. Dy
renforth was chosen commander-in-chief.
General Dyrenforth at once proceeded to
improve the favorable conditions which
had existed under the administration of
General Street. and SO successful was he in
increasing the numbers and influence of
the order that he was reelected at the
next national encampment held in Des
Moines. Iowa. and again reelected at the
last national encampment held last Oc-
tober in this city. To an earnest interest
in the order and unf1agging energy and zeal
In behalf of the old soldier, General Dyren-
forth adds executive ability of the highest
order and he has done more for it's growth
and prosperity than any individual member
OF the order. 1t is believed that he will
succeed himself at Chicago, for in this
jurisdiction every delegate goes with the
firm determination to secure his reelection
as commander-in-chief
