Or. FoNTAINE's LECTURE.

TST-sT ~~SN
The Epworth League :ofsthis city has.
engaged DR.. Fontaine to lecture at the
M. b. church January 8. Dr,@Fon-
tame lestured in jamestown and the
Alert says: 5R>
DR.. Fontaine gave an interesting lee
ture last night at the M. E. church, on
an o~verlandstrip he made a few years
ago from Egypt to Jerusalem and
through the Holy Land on camel back.
He described in vivid and picturesque
language many of the noted Bible
places, and his lecture had a decided
tendency 'totSdispel a number of illu-
sions that Bible readers, and readers
of certain Holy Land literature had
formed concerning the country. He
stated that of all the writers of note
who have described the scenes and en-
vironment of the region, that Mark
Twain and Bishop Vincent came the
nearest to telling the truth about it.
Brother Talmadge was referred to as
one whose descriptions abounded in
sentimental metaphor and misrepre-
%sentation and who: was a good deal
like the so-called Holy City, as it ac-
tually is today fraud. He stated
that to the Masonic fraternity is due
the preservation Of many of the land
marks in Palestine, dear to Chris
ton world, and his STAT, ment of the
Turkish soldiers being kept in the
church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jeru-
salem to keep the various sects from
quarreling, was news to many. The
lecturers account of the scenes and
impressions of the tourist in Pales-
tine conformed to the descriptions in
Mark Twain's famous "Innocents
Abroad" n of the most interesting
and truthful books of travel ever writ
ten.

THE CONvICTs DAUGHTER.

The Conyict's Daughter, which will
be remembered as one of the most sue
cessful productions, both financially
and artistically, of last season, will be
seen again at the Atheneum January 4,
and it is safe to say that packed houses
will be the rule. William De Shett-
ley plays the tramp this season. and
the scenery and mechanical effects are
new. From first to last '"The Con-
vict's Daughter" is bright and well
written, there are moments Of delight
full comedy Astounding with witty con
v%ersation,' carried on in a charming
manner; the romantic incidents are
sympathetic and true to nature, and
eve fail to take a firm grip on the
hearts Of the audience. The location
OF the play (Kentucky) gives ample OPP
p%ortunity for a number of dramatic in
cidents, while the production from a
scenic standpoint leaves nothing to be
desired.

sobbed three sobs and shed fourteen

apparent that he had no opinion to adj

and he now moved over to take the

hearty snuff of the camphor, and rose
up to say: 90

Mr.. Gallup had picked rusty iron

he was knocking the pieces off with
his hammer when Mrs. Gallup arrived.
