play is one full of romance, sentiment

just such play as deserved the large
attendance that it had yesterday, and
the kind that will always draw large
audiences where there are cultured peo-
pie. We feel snre that those who at

so, for in places the play appeals to

The play of last night, g Down on

large audience, and was thoroughly
appreciated and enjoyed by all those
present. In places it was obviously
very weak, as much, or more, the
fault of the playwright, however,
than of the players. On the whole,
though, it was we'll presented, and
the weakness of the lines in some re-
spects was made up by the force of the
players as individuals. The company

white sheet spread over it, and their
first thought naturally was that it
was lot of medical studen,s whom
they had met in the city during the
morning On their way to New Orleans
to college, who had robbed freshly
dug grave, they had just passed, and
Immediately, Notwithstanding that
they all three had thier guns with
them, they turned and ran back TO
the nearest house where they found
the landlord and two grown up sons
out at the horse lot, and telling them
of the "spectre" or strange sight
they had seen, they Immediately vol
unteered to go back with them and
asce tain just what it was that caused
their fright and flight.
Each of the three new recruits
armed themselves, the march back
started, the old man leading. closely
followed by his two SONS, the city
