It cost only 25 cents —— A BRILLIANT SUCCESS. Surprising Talent of Griffin's Amateur Actors. Th* library entertainment on Tuesday uiglit w as one of the most successful ovtr given by auy organization in (irttlln. the only drawback being that the brilliancy of the first part rattier eclipsed the interest in the spoiling mutch which followed and In which so many of Gridin's proud youth sought to gain distinction and ignominious ly fsiled. At an early hour the audience com mcuoed to gather, and when tho curtain rose it was before the largest crowd of the season. The opening overture was a sparkling piano duct by Misses Moss and Randall, fol lowed by the burlesque drama of “Leap Year,” an amusing piece and well played throughout, Indeed, the actors in this showed an ability and proficiency in their part* that la rarely surpassed by the average professional actor. They were all well up In their parts aud carried themselves on the stage with an ease and presence that caused the audiyice to be deeply engaged and de¬ lighted iu the conversation and plot, in¬ stead of tho pity and uneasiness that is gen¬ erally excited by the awkward actiug of amateurs. The principal parts were lakcn by 1). J. Bailey, Jr., and Miss Emma John¬ the Coqneliu and Mine. Hading of the excellence of whose perform lies in its rigid simplicity; the words, manner and intonations of real iifo and utter absence of affectation and grim They were sustained by the support, technique of the play requiring no of excessive emotion, but the humor and occassional glimpses of in the situations. Following is the caste: Likely—A young physician, Mr. U. J. Bailey, Jr. Kate Dareall—A joung heiress in love with James..............Miss Emma Johnson. Green—An old maid, Miss Annie Randall. Lavonia Larkin—A dashing young widow, Miss Mollie Kogore, Mother Hawkins alias Kate Dareall. Mias Emma Johusou. Bridget McPhccters—House maid, Mias Hadie Asher. Patrick McCarthy- -James’ servant, Mr, J, H. Shaffer. Following the drama came an exquisite vocal solo serenade by Miss Emma Stilwell, who really achieved the triumph of the eve- ning. Her voice is sweet, clear and well trained, of good timbre, while her enuncia¬ tion aud intonation is so perfect that every word is perfectly distinguishable in tho highest notes-—a most desirable but rare accomplishment in these days of operatie shrillness and mere noise. Responding to a hearty encore, Miss Stillwell returned and sang “Coming through the Rye.” The second play was a charade, •‘Valen¬ tine Day,” n light and short skit, which passed smoothly and trippingly over, with out balk or break, the principal feature be. ing the astounding metamorphosis at tiic wind up of the Btar, Miss Gussle Trammel, from a most imposed upon and humbly at tired maid of all work into a fascinating young lady in a very lovely and becoming evening dross- The full cast was: Charles Valentine Day.. .Mr. J. H. Shatter. Mr. Walters.............Mr. James Logan. Mrs. Merdon...........Miss Mollie Rogers. Miss fioycc .............Miss Annie Mooney. Bella Bonny........Miss Gnssie Trammel. Alter music by Misses Moss utid Randall, Misses Trammel and Rogers enacted the beautiful tableau of “Rock me to Bleep,” In which the grow n child once more pleads for the rest which only was given by its mother in times past, and the mother sings the au- swer in a far a way voice and then glides np outlie stage in wings and beautiful bare arms and tho general appearance of a first, class angel. This was very pathetic and fetching, and would doubtless have brought tears to the eyes of the audience if the red light had made a more successful debut. A brillant piano solo by Miss Anna Belie Moss was followed by the spelling bee, in which Judge Becks took the position of iu torloeutor aud Ed Hammond aud Emmett Womack acted as end men. After a very short and disastrous round, in which eacli fallen hero was dragged^off the stage amid peals of the base drum aud the openly ex pressed contumely and scorn of the nudi ence, Judge Boynton in a graceful spoech awarded the worst prize to Coluei Bailey and the best to Onomatopoeia Jones. Tbe prizes were a peanut penwiper aiul a twenty five cent walking stick, and trie philological reporter of the News found the disappointed aspirants unanimous iu the expression that {hoy wore not worth having. Col. Womack recited “How Ruby Flayed” ■a his tminltable manner, and the audience broke up. The receipts were }'< i, of which B5 s will be net - the largest amount made this season. We are glad to state that there are pros pects of further entertainments during the year by the Library Dramatic Club. The Blake Wrigley Marriage A. \V.

Abel Wright, whose office is opposite Mann’s room, heard a loud noise and upon going into the old man’s room, found him in the tion as above described. His room was a perfect wreck, he having torn down his bed and placed in a topsy turvy condition. In hand he held grasped a slat of the bed, and upon inquiry, stated that he had been killing tied bugs all night and up to date bad slain about 5,000. There was one very large one, hew ever, that had eluded his efforts kill him, and had led him a chase several hours. The proper authuri ties have been notified and be will be taken to the asylum. He is suf¬ fering Srotn a mild attack of lunacy and is perfectly harmless. For some time [>ast he has been suffering from paralasis anil has had several severe sticks.
