QUARTETTE rs
ENTERTAINING.

The Capital City Company Tuesday
night presented program that was
highly entertaining and quite pleasing
to large audience at the Criterion
theatre. The company came here as
an attraction in the seasons course of
the Bridgeton's Library Association.
The company comprises quartette
of vocalists, an exceptionally clever
piano accompanist, and Miss Alice S.
Clayton, reader. The personnel is as
follows: Miss Rozelle Connolly, 1st
soprano; Miss Elizabeth Huselton, I'd
soprano; Miss Florence Biddle, 1st alto ;
Miss Sarah Watt, I'd alto; Miss Alice
s. Clayton, reader, and Miss Julia
Kane, accompanist.
The quartette selections were rather
successful, although there was lacking
versatility and distinction in the mum
bers. One of the very prettiest num-
bers was the selection "Genevieve,
the solo part by Miss Watt, whose re-
markable voice was heard at it's best
and her perfect enunciation was very
greatly appreciated.
Miss Biddle was also remarkable
favorite in her solo, her Little Boy
Blue being charming and gave her
opportunity of showing great feeling
and sympathy.
Miss Connolly sang a solo which
afforded an opportunity for her to show
her control of her voice, she introduce
ing varied number of clever little
tricks of trills and echoes.
Miss Alice S. Clayton, the reader,
was given very warm reception. and
she instantly captured the audience
with child impersonation that showed
peculiar talent and was humorously en-
tertaining. She gave second infantile
impersonation upon being recalled.
Her splendid elocutionary and dramatic
ability was given full opportunity in
her rendition of the story Danny, "
and every moment was tense one for

swayed them with the emotional por
trayal of the rather commonplace char
acters of her little home-like story.
NThere was great, genuine happiness.
d. bit of pathos, saddening tragedy,
a bit of domestic commonplace charm
ingy given. with heart throbbing
appeal of the better man as climax
that left the audience stilled and with
eyes filling with tears. 1t was one of
the strangest bits of elocutionary work
that has ever been done on lyceum
platform in this city.
Miss Clayton stepped from this strong
.effort'sto light comedy, easily, grace
fully, SUCCESSFULLY, giving the brides
first experience in butcher shop, and
at once followed with tough boy
telling. description in rhyme OF what
he could see of his sisters courting.
Miss Clayton was a splendid success
and Bridgeton people will be glad to
have her here again.

Busy thieves are engaged in plying
their avocation here, there and every
where. The latest report comes from
Burlington avenue. On Monday night
burglars made an effort to enter the
home of Solomon Cossaboon, who lives
out there. Some noise made by the
thieves while at work aroused mem
bers of the household, and the enter
prising rascals were frightened off.
Nathan Cuff lives in the house ad-'
joining. Yesterday he discovered that
some time Monday night Stats of his
corn crib had been loosened and pried
off, aud several bushels of corn had
been carried off. The thieves left no
clue behind. Burlington avenue folks

lying around in much the same
manner as the Glencoe Messenger
found some, which says: We were
a little surprised a few days ago
to find $3.50 lying in the road be-
side the hedge at the corner Of
one of our prominent business
farmers homes, and the more so
to find that it had lain there
several months unmolested, but
beginning to look much worse for
the exposure. The money was in
the shape of a corn planter that
will have to be replaced by a new
one before many years unless
cared for better than that.
