GREEK PLAY ELECTRA
TOMORROW NIGHT
Terrace at Wolf Hall to be
BACKGROUND

Lovers of the dramatic art here
and the neighboring territory will
see, for the first time in the history
of Delaware College, a true presen-
tation Of one of the leading plays
of " Euripides," at the college on
Thursday night. The play is Flee
ira, than which few if any bet
ter represent the spirit and beauty
Of the Greek drama. DR.. John r.
Moore, faculty advisor Of the joint
dramatic clubs of the two colleges,
under whose suspices the play will
be presented, secured permission
from Sir Gilbert Murray, Of Ok
ford, to use his version Of the play,
recognized as the best English
translation of the Greek master
piece.
The terrace of Wolf Hall will be
tn stage where the combined dra-
matte talent from both colleges will
once again revive the spirit Of the
Greek drama. The story Of the play
gives but a glimpse Of the action
involved in the presentation.
That the presentation Of "Elec-
ira" will go down as a red letter
day in the history Of the two col
leges, laying the basis for dramatic
activities to be pursued in coming
years, members of the clubs and
particularly those who take parts in
the play, have been zealously at
work for the past two months in
preparation for the event.
One Of the chief features, of
course, are the costumes, designed
and made by members Of the dra-
matte club Of the Women s College,
which will make for the realistic eff
feet, so essential in the presentation
Of the classic. Not the least of the
scenic effects, however, will be the
electric lighting and stage arrange
ments, which will transform the
new campus into a theatre Of the
ancient Greek type. To this end,
members Of the Footlights Club of
Delaware College have labored hard
for the past few weeks. The music,
too, is the product Of the students
themselves and as near the original
as is possible for modern magma
ton to compose it.
A representative group from the
Wilmington High School, h e
Ursuline Academy, Friends School
and preparatory schools from this
vicinity will attend the perform
ance.
The play will start promptly at
| 8 O'Clock sharp. No late corners
will be seated after the play has
begun.

DIR. CARWILE IN CITY-HAPPY

DR.. P. B. Carwile was in the city
yesterday. When we saw him he was
smoking a good cigar and looking
happy. In fact, he told US that he
was happy. His people at home are
all enjoying the best of health, he
said, the crops are gathered, there
is plenty Of meat in the smoke-house
and corn in the crib, the lard cans
are full and the sausage is seasoned
right. He is at peace with his neigh
bors, which is a good sign that the
Maker is not complaining, so why
should he not be happy? Here's a
Merry Christmas to him and his'n.

AWFUL THINGS NEXT DECEMBER?

Numerous readers of the Pathfinder
Lave asked whether any credence is to
be placed in the widely published pre-
dicUions that the world is to come to an
eud toward the close of the present year,
or at least that the present planets will
then be in such a position that unpre-
cedented storms and disasters will take
place.
We recently reported that Rev. Webb
Peploe. an English preacher. had made
a prediction of this sort. Now he writes
that he did not make such a prediction
himself but that all he did was to repeat
what he had heard a man say who had
made a study Of the Great Pyramid of
Egypt and who felt perfectly confident,
from the intricate details of that build
ing, that a solemn and very remarkable
crisis in the woll1's history was to be
looked~for about the close of 1872. He
adds that his reason for repeating this
fearsome prediction was Ito prepare the
people for the coming of the Lord"
This minister we believe, is acting on
very slight and unjustifable data. when
he takes the hearsay Of some unnamed
and unknown person and draws any such
deduction from it: Many people have
studied the Great Pyramid and no two of
them have reached the same conclusions
as to the significance of its position and
peculiar construction. 1t is pretty GER
tain that that wonderful monument was
designed with special reference to as
Economical phenomena and 1t may be
that it was intended to be a sign and a
warning to succeeding generations. But
all this is pure conjecture and if the
prophets of evil want to brighten people
