entrance OF the populists into the pol

their hardihood and boldness. There
is no shadow of fear among them as
they send their national candidates to
attack Wall street in its den. The

there is something more than "impu-

they reached the bedside and passed
away.
Deceased was born Feb. 1, 1894
In early manhood he entered the min
istry OF the Christian church and was
actively engaged in the ministry oi
that church for forty years, retiring
only last May at which time he and
his wife came TO live at the home oi
OF their daughter, Mrs. A. G. Smith In
this city. His last charge was al

PRESS COMMENT.
Lancaster Teller: "Of all the singers
who ever came to Lancaster Mar
jorie McCawley is the best. Music
hath charms to sooth savage
breast, but Miss McCawley's music
is more than quieter OF nerves, 1t
has intellectually In it. 1t ad-
dresses the understanding as well
as the passions. With melody of
voice she has also power and con-
troll that seem unlimited--a voice
that though it echoes to the sky
and may break the clouds, it never
breaks ITSELF"
Milwaukee Even'g Wisconsin: "Miss
Wright has read and recited with
great success in other cities, and
won plaudits from exceedingly
critical audiences. She has per-
feet control of her voice, and her
bearing on the stage Is that of an
experienced actress. Selections she
gave served to show the versatility
of her elocutionary gifts."
Lansing (Mich.) Republican: Miss
Wright, in the several selections
which she gave, revealed an un-
usual talent for impersopation.
Every selection was of the first
quality"
