an offshoot of the old = street So
ciety. colored.. are raising money for a
new church building and have a lot
and several hundred dollars toward
this purpose. Last evening they gave
an entertainment at Lukens opera
house. one of the active members
had drama tized the story of Esther to
be used in connection with several ap-
propriate choruses from an operetta
on the same topic. The performance
last night did not adhere very strictly
to the drama tization, but resolved
itself into rather surprising cantata,
that is many who were not present
would have been surprised at the rem
dition of the production It was in
some respects crude, but showed not a
little musical ability. 1t would have
been better understood II II nad more
closely followed the dramatizatton.
The part of King Ahasuerus was well
taken. but the singing of Mrs. Sarah
Jones as Queen Esther was the best
part OF the affair something over
$32 was realized. After the entertain
ment a drawing for a set of china
plates was held and the prize secured
by Mrs. CUfneiia Beach
