Her theatrical talent was, first manifested when quite a child, at Sunday. school entertainments In Philadelphia, whero her dramatic and vocal powers were remarkably displayed, Her first public dramatic triumph was mado at tho Academy of Music, Pnlladolphla, In the spring of '78 as Cindorclla, or the Golden Slipper, In which play she was tho leading support of her lamented sister, Miss Llllio, who took tho role of tho Prince. Her first profession al debut was In tho character of Stumps In the play of "Carrots," at Wood's Museum, in 1884. Hero she gave evidence of mar- velous vocal and dramatic powers, and her subsequent brilliant career has fully justi fied her numerous friends in placing such confldcnco in her dramatic talent then. Graduating at tho Normal School at tho head of her class In June, 1835, she Immedi ately Joined tho company of her sister Llllio as leading support. She performed all tho leading parts until tho sad death of her sister Llllle, which occured at Philadelphia last December. In the following February, becoming tho legitimate successor of her dead sister, she started with a company of her own, starring In the legitimate, and the success she has achieved has been marvel ous wherever she has appeared. Her career has been ono perfect ovation, and this Is all the more wonderful because of her ten. der years. Inheriting as she does a natural talent for tbo stage, Miss Balllo has the additional adyantagoof her experience with her Bister, who was a popular favorite wherever she had appeared. In many re spects Balllo closely resembles her sister, and especially so In her wonderfully de. velopcd oower of versatility. With a rich yoice of velvety sweetness, whose comp9a is ot wldo range, there is also embodlod in her the grace and dignity of the true actress. Bhe must soon become everybody's favorite.

Editors CoLUMniAH.-.As there Is a general misunderstanding on tho part of the citi zens in regard to tho Bloomsburg band not ppearlng in tho parade on Grand Array day and as thero aro many stories abroad by which the band has been severely cen sured, please permit us through the col umns of the Columbian to present to tbo citizens a true statement of tho case, Viz: About a week or ten days previous to Grand Army Day Ent Post requested our rlco to furnish music for Sept. Uth to bo under command of tbo post from 7 a. m. to 11 p. in., meeting all trains, playing for tho parade In tho afternoon and camp-fire In the evening For this occasion the band required oxtra players and wo pannot hire good musicians for less than two dollars and fifty cents per day and expenses cstl. mating cost of expenses for extra men wo fixed tho price at forty dollars. This was reported to the Post and tho band was In formed that they could not pay this price, besides they thought that It was not really necessary to have music and woujd dis pense with it. Tbe band reconsidered tho matter and resolved that it Ent Post, U. A. could not afford to pay forty dollars for music for Bept. Oth that tho band would play for the post during tho parade without chargo but could not bind the band to tho post for tho day and pay the expenses of extra men without pay. In playing for parado only, we could have dlspcnsod with extra players. This resolution was report ed to commander of Ent Post on tho morn Ing of Aug. 28th with the request that If our proposition was accepted that tho Post would notify tho band by the following Thursday, Aug. 80, as part of the band members had other engagements In view if not wanted by tho Post. Wo waited until Monday Sept. 3rd and not being advised concluded tho Post did uot need tho band.

It was then too late as part of tho band was engagod to other parties and tbo Com mander waB so Informed.
