SHE ST0OPS TO CONQUER"
Packed House Greets Local Talent a
thG Auditorium Play a
Great Success,

When the curtain went mp upon the
first scene 81 she Sleeps to Conquer,
nj The Auditorium last night the sea OF
faces that greeted the players assured
the financial success 0f the performance.
Wien it WAS rung down AT the close of
the last scene those participating had
scored 4 success that has seldom. il
ever. been "4na!HI Hy local talent. From
( the first m5ment Duat the audience 5
gaze waS riyetct upon the stage. that
the local players would achieve a tire
neniOuS success was assured. Every
! detail OF the prcs:ntatio had been care
fully planned and looked af er by those
| having tn" play in charge, and this care
contributed greatly to the success Of the
| pc t0rmanr@. as the costumes. Stage set
tlngs, etc, always contribute materially
to the reception of 4 production of this
character.
Everyone of t. e members of the cast
covered himself or herself with glory
Mrs. frantZ Flyior, as Mrs. u:rdcastIe
was exceptionally good, as was Mi SIS
Margaret Small as Miss IIardcastle. SO,
too, were Mess's. J. Edward Cooke, as
''Tony Lumpkins:" Joseph Burgess, as
"Diggory." and A. StengIe Marine. as
young NARROW, and j. L. ID. Murdaugh.
as ''Stingy," the inn keeper.
Such a ridiculous comedy of errors
could not fail to keep everyone ughing
and those Who laugh evidently enjoy
themselves, consequently it was a nat
ural inference that the audience last
night, one of the largest ever seen al
play in Cambridge, was G eatIy pleased
with the play and playing of the per-
formers
The play was repeated this afternoon
at the request Of Il large number of those
pre-, emf.

that luil benefit may be derived from
their use. All public school desiring

Richmond Man Meets Sudden
Death While at Work in
Baltimore, Md.

Dispatches from Baltimore. Md. to
Jacob Angel, stationman at Engine
Company No. j, tell of the sudden
death OF the latter's son. Orren Angel,
of sos Fast Clay street. Richmond.
The dead man fell from the fifth
floor OF building on Liberty street,
Baltimore, where he was removing
sign, and was instantly killed.
Mr. Angel and William L. Kanary,
of sI5 North Eighth street, went to
Baltimore several days ago to fulfill
a contract given them by Snellen-
burg Brothers to decorate the build
ing OF the latter for the Moose con-
mental City. The two Richmond men
finished placing the flags and hunt
ing In position on Saturday, and on
Monday intended to remove a sign.
A telegram from Mr.. Kanary says
that the dead man had barely rugged
up his sling and started to work when
the rope broke. In falling Mr.. Angel
struck g. pole and then bounded to
the cement sidewalk, the impact of
the fall breaking nearly every bone
In his body.
Several men in the building on
which Mr., Angel was working are
said TO have warned him that the
rope ne was using In hts sling was
not strong enough to support his
weight. but Angel 10 said to have
laughed at their fears.
The body was removed to the
morgue In the Central police ambu-
lance, and later WAS shipped to Rich
mond for interment.

the break were repaired, It meant
