had been feeling of late that she was
inclined to make merchandise OF her suf-

Of yourself. your mood changed before
she had been talking fifteen minutes. In
the first place you were looking upon the
elegantly gowned figure Of a queenly
woman in latter middle life. Strength,
repose, determination were all writ large
IN her open. cheerful countenance. The
voice was that Of a gentlewoman, quiet
even, penetrative, agreeable. The first

English, such nice discrimination in the
choice of words, such entire absence Of
repetitousness one does not often en-
counter IN extemporaneous speakers. But
it was far from being parrot-like. memoir
tier work. Moreover she did not harp
upon the trials and tribulations of those
six months of captivity. You were not
looking upon a woman who had any de-

OLD INNOCENCE.

One of the prettiest, cleanest and
wholesome camedies to be seen here this
season is odd Innocence" an adaptation
from the French in which Tim Murphy
makes his appearance at the Crawford

Jason Green" the kindly philanthropist.

acts and in coming to the relief Of those

in spite of the assertions of his hard

delight in the good motives he imputes TO

shoemaker, his pathetic establishment to
find that neither wife or shoemaker were
fair weather friends when his own hour

depicts with certain quaintness Of mar
ner quite out of the common, and Jason
Green" becomes in his hands a char
aCter to be remembered long after the
play itself has been forgotten. General
interest is attached to the appearance of
Miss Dorothy Sherrod. who appears in
support Of MT. Murphy.
Miss Sherrod is known as one Of the
most attractive women on the stage to-
day. and as May Green, wife Of Jason
Green does a delicious bit OF acting
full of life and loneliness. Mr. Murphy
in making this revival Of "Old limo

promise he made TO managers TO present

goers in the different cities his tour viii

There was reception, at which sew

the wedding cake that had been car

Lamb, now Mrs. Connolly, was found
to be all that had been promised. 1t

NEWBURG, N. Y, Oct During
the summer Of 1901 the government APP
pointed 200 teachers to go to the Phil
ippines for two years. Among them
were a Mr.. Daniels, from the Pacific
slope, and James Francis Connolly,
principal in the district school at Fort
Montgomery, near West Point.
Mr.. Connolly had met at the teach
ers' institute of Orange county Miss
Clara Dickson Lamb, who at one time
was a teacher at Bedford, near New
York, but for several years past had
been engaged in the high school at
Cornwall. She is the daughter of Fred
l.. Lamb, of Cornwall.
Mr.. Connolly and Miss Lamb became
engaged to be married. The date set
was in August of this year, but while
the engagement was pending came Mr..
Connolly's appointment to teach 5000
miles away. Miss Lamb babe him ac-
cept the call, and promised that in due
time she would cross the Pacific and
meet him. During the last summer
preparations for the event were made,
including the bridal trousseau and the
huge wedding cake, the latter a gift
from a Cornwall friend, who assured
her the cake would improve with the
journey. July Miss Lamb left Corn
wall for her long trip.
The transport left San Francisco
