This company is a real bit OF

not fail to see them and hear them.
In carrying the Lyceum course the
Civic League has a special object in
view. The cultivating of taste in

and lose your appetite for what a
good course in any good Lyceum
Company can give you. We are not
after the money primarily-that is
secondary. The object of all our ell
deavors is civic bettermens. We are
especially anxious to get the cooper
alton Of every citizen, male and fe-
male, white and colored. Shortly we
will publish list of the names on our
roll, and if yours is not there, we will

was accommodated in the Parish
House, and Madame Breshkovskaya
spoke. to them first. DR.. Crothers
said that true to the, Scriptures, the
last should be first, and the first
should be last, but we were glad to

She is one of those rare spirits who
has grown old gracefully, and if feel

girl. The dear old lady came on the
platform wearing an unassuming
