 Albert Shaw, editor of the Review of Reviews, pays this handsome trib-l ute to Charles F. Underhill, the tm- personator, who appears at the Town hall, NewtOWn, on the evening Of De- cember 10, under the auspices of the Mems club. Dr Shaw says:
 Dear MT Underhill:.I was sorry the other evening not to have the pleasure of meeting you personally, in order to express my very great pleasure ana also that of Mrs Shaw in hearing you recite Dickens "Christmas Carol'' at the Mackenzie School. It seemed to me that your interpretation brought out most remarkably the humOr as we'll as the pathos of the tale. I was particularly impressed with the knowl- edge of certain phases of English life that you exhibited, and without which you could not have done such delight | full justice to the goose dinner in the family of MT Scrooge's clerk.
 wish you very great success In your
 wholesome and beneficial public work,
 and beg also to wish you 9 merry Christmas and happy New Year. As
 I remarked on coming out the other
 evening, you had happily given us a
 fortnight's warning, and therefore
 ample opportunity, to avoid disagree
 able Christmas ghosts. Believe me
 sincerely yours,I Albert Shaw.

Underhill on Thurs day evening last gave his 1nc0mparaDle impersOnations from "A CnrlstmaS! Carol" at Association hall. Without the presence of single assistant ana without changes of costume the diver, slfied characters of Dickens beautiful. story were summoned at the call of copsummate artist to tell their tale of humor, pathos and mystery. The story with it's strangely human interest, dear as it is to all readers of Dickens, had new intensity as the familiar figures were brought forward and clothed with the wOnted lights and shadows that surrounded their progress on that never-to- o-be-fOrgotten Christmas night. No more beautiful theme could perme- ate the structure of 8 story than en- nobles IA Christmas Carol" !" namely the regeneration ofyA human soul through the trial and witness of suf- fering. Scrooge, the unlovely ana un- loving, was impelled reststiessly on, ward by the spirits to behold the full tide of this worlds hope, despair, sor-
 row, happiness, smiles and tears until he emerged at the end IA Changed Man" indeed. This we believe to be 1 in part the significance of the Christ
 mas season, the awakening of the
 hearts chords to beat in sympathy
 with the great throb of humanity $
 heart all about us. MT Underhill's $
 perception of this underlying idea was
 as clearly apparent as his unyielding
 command of each separate character
 and with every word and action he | impressed both upon the audience.

caused by an anaesthetic, according
to writer in the London Spectator.

slipped from his ladder and fell face
downward through the glass top OF a
showcase, which accounted for his san
culinary appearance. .
Nothing very much happened to
