There is heroine on horseback in
Edwin McWade's new melodrama
Winchester, which deals with Incl
dents in the Shenandoah valley in 1868.
The plot is founded on very promising
idea, and one that, in the hands of such
a youthful dramatist, has certainly
yielded wonderful results. The whole
of Winchester is conventional enough
to be safe, yet original enough to be,
singular in some respects and seeming
ly sure to be popular. The movement
of the plot is in a satisfactory groove.
The northern soldier, being wounded,
is nursed by the, girl in her southern
home. In politics they keep apart, but
in love they get together. Those things
happen in every day life, but there is a
newness in. the way that she, having
been taught biography by him during
his convalescence, obtains private dis
patches by tapping" wire that
crosses the roof of the house, and by
conveying them to the Confederates,
thus giving his enemies on the Union
side chance to convict him as a trait
or. Mr.. McWade has invented and
worked out plot of considerable in
genuity. The situations are reached
with outbursts of enthusiasm that ex-
cite the audience almost to commissions.
The company is very strong, the seem
cry perfect and no money Is spared to
make this production the best Of the
season. 1t will be seen at the Grand
opera house tonight, Fridy and Satur-

ODD FELLOWS JUBILEE.

The three Lodges of Lancaster, Little
Bay III, Millenbeck 1877 and Iryington
POS, met at Irvington on Tuesday even
Ing last TO welcome their old friend and
present Grand Master, Rev. Z. E. North
en-, of Phebus, Va. A large number of
Odd Fellows were present to welcome
Brother Northen, who did not arrive
until nearly 10 o'clock, owing to delay
OF steamer Enoch Pratt, of the B., @. &
A. Line, but despite the lateness of his
arrival he delivered one of the best adj
dresses on Odd Fellowship ever heard
by the members of Lancaster Lodges.
The o. F.s were not at all bashful or
scared" as Brother g. 2. Squires &C.
cused US of being, and piled the Grand
Master with numerous knotty questions
which had been puzzling us for long
time, and not single time but what he
had ready answer.
At 1890 o'clock the meeting adjourn
ed and all were invited to the lower
hall, where Irvington Brethren had pre-
psred bounteous spread, consisting of
ice cream, cake, lemonade, oranges,
bananas and cigars. Here another hour
was passed, and after feeding our old
goat the Odd Fellows left for their
homes, reaching them in the wee sma'
hours and looking wise but saying
nothing.
Brother Northen spent Wednesday
with us, leaving that afternoon to ad-
dress the Middlesex Lodges that night.

BACHELOR GIRLS CLUB.

Hoop lai Irvington must lead. Who
ever thought We had lot OF old m-we
mean bachelor girls-in our communityl
They have done it themselves, of their
own free will and accord, and now the
boys will not have TO talk so mealy-
mouthed about the age of our girls.
Ten OF the elect-pretty little maids, IL
not from school-no more, no less, have
banded together into an exclusive So
ciety tina; meets every Tuesday night at
the bone of some member. This is all
the secret that is out. We all can
think, but not mention what our Sopin-
ions are. Their purposes will not be
entrusted to gossiping men, and when
their bylaws are codified 1t will be all
unwritten work. BY the way, one of the
CITIZENS luminaries offers freely his
services in the matter of drawing up by
laws. He thinks he is an expert-but
we think not, therefor our advice is that
the girls let him write 'em up and no.
body will ever think that they are sure
enough bylaws, and no secrets will get
out. The following is a list of the ex.
elusive membership: Misses Ruby Smith,
Myrtle Brewington, Clara Wilder, Mary
Stansfield, Pearl Dix, Linda Haydon.
Leila Ashburn, Georgia Meekins, Julia
Messick and Lillian Roberts. Many re-
turns of the occasion and few birthdays
to the noble maids.
