|PYGMALI0N AND GALATEA q
Ar BAPTIST FEMALE UNIVERSITY
Under Direction of Miss Eleanor Watkins
Elocution Glasses Achieve Pro-
nouneed Success t"a

The charming play, "Pygmalion and
Galatea,' was given last night in the
chapel of the B. f. U. by the second and
third year classes in elocution. The play
is we'll adapted for presentation by young
ladies', and the full beauty of the theme
was sustained in most convincing mani
ner throughout this whole production.
The chapel stage was arranged to rep
resent the studio of the Athenian sculp-
tor, Pygmalion, with simple decorations
Indicative of the sculptor's art, and this
sitting for the characters proved extreme
ly effective. The costumes were beauti-
full and very harmonious in color, the OLD
Grecian style being adhered to with
unusual historical exaetness.
Miss Bessie Chears as Pygmalion and
Miss Victoria Martin as Galatea played
the title roles in most adequate man
per. Miss Chears was especially ad-
mirable for her forcible convincing act
ing, while Miss Martin won all hearts
by her sweet innocence and statuesque
beauty. Cynisca, Pygmallon's wife, was
portrayed by Miss Elsie Bennett with
exquisite delicacy.
Miss Claire Stainback as Crysus, the
patron of the arts" gave a forcible
reading of the part and added subtle hu-
NOR to the play, while Miss Halle VIII
liams as Daphne, Crysus' wife. proved
perfectly adapted to the portrayal Of
that character.
Pygmalion's sister, Myrine, was pref
tily taken by Miss Eulalia Jordan, and
Miss Helen Allen acted the valiant sol
dier-lover Leucippa. Agesmus, Crysus'
slave. was depicted we'll by Miss Lillian
Timberlake. and Minus. Pygmalion's
slave, by Miss Eula Jenkins.
In spite of the rainy weather, large
and enthusiastic audience of the young
ladies' friends witnessed the perform
ance, ana the interest of all was held
from beginning to end.
The highest compliments are due to
the young participants, but are especially
due to Miss Eleanor V. Watkins, the tai
ented professor of elocution at the Uni
versity, under whose direction the play
was given, and through whose efforts the
great success of last night proved pos
Siblp.

Oh. Michael how we miss you

We would not have our Michael back
Although our hearts are sore;

We'd hide him in the stable-loft
And feed him secretly,
For pirates are not taken in

And many a humid eye;

A NEW REFoRMER

Bernard Donaho, member OF the
Board of Education from the Second
ward. is a most remarkable man, and
mdging from his record as a member
of the board. education is likely TO leap
forward in the future. In its headlong
rush a somersault is even possible But
Mr.. Donaho is more than an educa-
tional propagandist; nothing less than
general reform satisfies his eager and
noble nature. But it must come along
the lines indicated by him, for all great
men are individualists.
Recently this gentleman in the dis
charge Of his duties, found It necessary
TO charge that certain persons, pre-
sumably his colleagues, had extracted
large sum from the public purse in
order to swell their own fortunes. He
gravely informed the public that there
had been a swindle in supplying the
coal bins Of the schools. He did not
intend it as bit Of pleasantly; he
was in dead earnest. and after his
charges had been made the members
of the board were much pertwbed.
A committee was appointed to sift
the matter and the reformer from the
Second ward was called on to prefer
his charges. He refused to utter an
other word. doubtless believing that /
his charges happened to be true The
guilty ones would suffer with {
troubled conscience and II they wer
not true, they would profit by tn
warning. Mr.. Donaho, however, toll
the committee how it should proceed
He thought 1t should endeavor to dis
prove his general statement, withou
causing him the pain Of being more e1
plicit- Thus the board was placed !
the position Of being compelled TO pre-
fer charges against itself, and then {
disprove them.
II must not be thought that Nj
DOnaho has not ample evidence Of an
Kind required. A person with his fei
tile imagination is never at loss, bl
he prefers TO use his evidence in h
own way, by the method which he en-
ploys the board is kept stirred up, ea'
member is led to suspect his neighbc
and the general public looks askance

accepted the rectorship July 30, 1S4S
which position he continued to hold
until his death, April II, 1887.
In the year 1854, the church war
found to be too small and was en-
larged by adding one-third to it's ca
pacity at a cost Of $4,000. No altera-
tions of note were made from 1854 until
! July, 1890, when the congregation waa|
so freely convinced of the necessity forI
renovation and improvement that the|
vestry felt impelled to take the steps
for their accomplishment Upon con7
sulting with Messrs. Baker and Dali

decided upon plans for the improve
ment Of the interior at an estimated
cost Of $4,000. Upon appealing to tho
congregation for funds by circular, the
members responded with promptnesa
and literally promised To- contribute
$4,000. This response was most graft
j flying to the vestry.

entireley to the interior OF the church,
i which had been changed from a plain
i rectangular classic room, to Roman
