The Reading Circle of Newtown Street has engaged the gifted artist, Miss Gay Zenola Maclaran, for Satur day evening, March 2; the members of the circle, some 30 or more in number, are back of her coming, and are going to use every wise effort to make the evening of her stay here a complete success People of Newtown often speak, as .as fond recollection of the past, of the rare privilege they once enjoyed in hearing Camilla Urso, the wonderful violiniSte, who, almost by mere accident, gave an entertainment here. Miss Maclaran hardly has the renowu Of UrSO, and yet she stands very high in her profession. Though yet young she has already won large distinction in her special line and is adding new laurels to her name with Saturday evening an impersonation of s'The Sign of the Cross.'' This play is intense in it's historical interest, and awakens strong religious feeling by depicting what the followers of Christ have suffered in past ages for the sake of their faith. No other one in Miss Maclaran's repertoire could arouse such lasting impressions or kindle more earnest devotion to the cause of the NaZarene than this.
 Not only will those who attend be having a rare treat for themselves, but they will be helping in the most laud- able work which Prof Ross Jewell has so generously undertaken, namely, to make the Newtown Library far more | usable and workable by re-cataloguing and re-shelving the books. The pro ceeds are to go toward the purchase of an index card cabinet, in value SIP, and as much further toward the other | necessary expenses in this line as a generous public may make it possible. The reserve seat tickets are now on sale at the store of R. HI. Beers & Go. at 35c each. The general admission tickets at 25c each have been placed in the hands of the school children, and have had wide sale. These may be exchanged for the reserved seats at
 the store of R. Fl. Beers & Go. by pay ing 10c extra. The management guar antees the public that, no matter what the thermometer may register on that night, every endeavor will be made to have the hall thoroughly warm and comforta ble. Though moons cannot be swung into line with the same authority as furnaces, yet this Saturday evening is the second night after the full of the moon, and l Old Prob ought to hang big lamp in the heavens to guide the people from | the districts home. "A long pull, a strong pull, and pull all together, '' | and success is assured.

"TnE SIGN OF THE CROSS"
THE STORY.

As stated elsewhere, Wilson Bar rett's "Sign of the Cross' is to be given as an impersonation Saturday evening, March 2, in the Town hall by the highly gifted young artist, Miss Gay Zenola Maclaren. The expenses are not large; and every Newtowner who attends will do double good: first, himself enjoy most rare treat; second, help in cataloguing the books of the Newtown Library, very necessary and desirable piece of work. A little idea of ''The Sign of the Cross" may interest those who anticipate hearing Miss Maclaren. The scene is laid in Rome in the days of Nero. Stephanas, Christian boy of 10, is forced to tell where the Christians are hiding. The prefect of Rome. Marcus Superbus, is in love with Mercia, beautiful Chris tian- maiden of 19. Favia, a Roman girl, is also enamoured of Marcus. Favia, being passed by in her love, re- veals to the Emperor Nero that his prefect seeks the love of one of the de- spiSed Christians. This leads to the arrest of the whole company of Chris tians and their being brought to the phitheater.
