Play a Success.

The Crown Point high school pu-
pills gave the audience. which packed
Central Music hall 10 the guards on
last Saturday evening, a pleasant sur
prise in the presentation of their pro-
duction. The Merchant of Venice"
up to-Date' Ordinarily when 1t
comes to actors and actresses, the
talent displayed by high schools Is
rather mediocre and very little is ex-
peeted of them beyond the possibili-
ties Of a well rendered dialogue, but
the presentation of the up-to-date
version of the Shakspearian classic, by
the cast of sixteen pupils, bespeaks
well of their hstronic abilities indi-
vidually. and the excellent drilling and
training they have undergone by those
interested in the presentation Of the
comedy. through whose efforts the rem
dition of the production ended so sue
cessfully Collectively, the work of the
cast was superb. carrying out the dra-
matte possibilities of the production to
q degree rarely seen off the profession
al stage The heavier work of the
famed classic was replaced repeatedly
By sallies of up-to-date wit and COM
edy parts, which kept a audience in an
uproar of laughter. To pick out any
individual pupil for special honor and
mention would be doing injustice TO
them all, and those carrying out the
heavier portions of the work have
thei reward in the extra praise be-
slowed on them by the audience. Every
pupil performed his or her part to well
nigh pefection and from the plandits
heard on all sides. it is quite evident
that more than a bakers dozen of &C
tors and actresses were born to the
Crown Point public on Saturday even
ing, whose future efforts will draw as
crowded a house as that which greeted
the initial performance of the Grown
Point High School Dramatic club.

PASSES AWAY
Former Resident of This City
Died In Charleston.

On Wednesday of last week after
The Register had gone to press, the
sad intelligence of the death Of Miss
Sterrett was passed from
lip casting gloom of sorrow over
the entire city. Miss Josie was a
Point Pleasant girl. She was born
and grew to womanhoOd here and
numbered among her friends all Of
whom she was acquainted.
The funeral was held Thursday
afternoon at $3.50 at St. Johns Epfs-
copal church, in Charleston, Rev.
R. d. Roller officiating. A large
concourse of friends testified by their
presence the universal esteem and
affection in which her memory was
held, many Of them joining in the
cortege to the cemetery. Her sud-
den passing away was learned with
marked sadness among all circles,
who knew her A large number of
relatives and friends will miss the
life long ministrations Of her self
sacrificing spirit. Truly she'followed
the injunction in honor prefering
one another" and devoted an unsel-
fish life to the comfort Of others.
She was sister mother in deed
all in all to those in her innermost
circle and her whole life a benedic-
ton to theme The death Of such a
good woman is Of more than ordi-
nary import and leaves sadness
deep and impressive.
