DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL
 ENTERTAINMENT

Those who were fortunate enough tG he at the Friendly league hall last evening were certainly well enter tnIned. if laughter and applause are to be relied upon. An interesting musical program was rendered by the Friendly league chorus, already well known in this city. the final number being ac- companied by the mandolin club. The musical program was divided into tw" parts by the little comedy. Our Aunt from CalHSyna," given by members of. the elOcutiOn class. The amusing disguise of one of the sisters led to many mysterious complications. which were thoroughly appreciated by the audience.
 The superintendent extended the greetings of the president. Miss Ward. who was unavOidably absent. and an nOunced that on the 27th of April there would be q stcreOpticon lecture in the hall for the members of the league.
 Miss Jackson also spoke of the pleas ant parlors and suggested that each Friday evening they should be put to still more practical use by making Friday evening ''mending night" when those who sew shall be read to or played to or sung to. as the taste may be.
 Every seat was taken in the hah last evening and many were sufficient Iy interested to stand through the en- tire program.

 Ran Wild.

Sensational stories of a woman in white aroused the people of Brooklyn last evening. It was said that she was seen passing through Riverside street and Riverside cemetery. In time the reports reached the attention of Offi- cers John Brickel and John Sullivan and it took them only few minutes to locate the strange person, who cer~ tainly was properly termed a woman in white. She was so dressed that people thought she had been about to retire and had changed her mind for walk Her hair was disheveled and her general appearance gave the inn pression that she was under the infiu- ence of some powerful drug. Her speech added to this impression. The officers took her to the station house, where after some rest she was able 10 talk intelligibly. She was recognized as Flossie Taylor, alias Carpenter. well kilowh to the police. She informed Dr Goodrich that for some time she has been accustomed to the use of nor phine occasionally and laudanum to the amount of ten drops daily. ShA was unable to procure her accustomed dose yesterday and she attributed her state of mind to that. Her nervous system seemed to be entirely, shat tered, but this morning she was able to proceed to her place of abode in the privacy of a hack which some of her friends provided. How she left the house she was unable to eplaln.

BELLS OF SHANDON.'

If you have not already secured, your tickets for City hall this evening. it would be well for you to get q look at the chart before it goes over to the hall. The reserved seat price is only fifty cents. The general admission is thirty-five cents. The reasons for the little increase of ten and fifteen cents from the old prices which used to govern the entertainments are as fol- lows:
 This it is expected will be the best entertainment ever provided for St Patrick's night. The play received it's last rehearsal last evening and a splendid rehearsal it was. Everybody has been awakened to the fact that this drama is one of the best ever pro- duced on City hall stage and it dc. wolves on each of them to do his and her share of the work. The advance sale has been good one and those who desire to be sure of seat should get to the chart at F.. J. Finn's store before it is taken over to the hall. A handsome souvenir will also be pro scented to each person present in the hall tonight.
