port with enthusiasm such colnmendable
plays by their young people, and we feel
sure Bamberg will turn out in full force
and encourage these young folks IN their
first effort of the season. They guarantee
full value for the small admission fee and
they have right to expect very large
crowd with them. Let every person IN
Bamberg, who enjoys an evening OF In
nocent amusement, who is interested in
the young life Of our town and who cares
for the growth and development of young
peoples christian societies for which their
play is given, be present tonight.
In addition to the regular program, de-
licious refreshments will be served on the
campus. The moon will be full at the
time, and this 'campus-course" will be
very popular with our young people
Everyone must try at least something
that night, for the refreshments will be
delicious. A bevy Of young ladies Will
have this part in charge.

Cope.

A. synopsis of the play is: Capt. Skin
ner the wealthy uncle of Geo. Richmund,
makes George his heir on condition he
marries Nellie Huntington, a friend OF
the family. George is a Lieutenant in the
list Infantry, U. S. army, and while in
Cuba he shows CONSPICUOUS bravery, re-
turns to the States and marries Nellie
Blanchard. A message informs him of his
uncle's death, he goes to attend the funer-
al, finds it mistake and his uncle still
living. He is in predicament, for he
fears his uncle's displeasure at not mary
ing Nellie Huntington. They attempt to
overcome the difficulty by pretending that
Nellie Huntington is Georges wife and
Nellie Blanchard is a friend of Nellie
Huntington. Accepting this as fact, the
Captain encourages Ferdy Lighthead,
fop, to court Miss Blanchard, and pretty
mess of affairs result. Richard Hamilton
mistakes the captains house for the lu'
natic asylum next door, visits it, and
from conversation with him, George
conceives the idea of palming off all the
household on Richard as the asylum sure
enough. This pleases every one in al
amusing position, and results in everyone
suspecting all the others are insane.
Everything ends alright, and the captain
finds his method of choosing wife for
George was "all mistake"
