Sumantlm at Court.
We print the following from the
Toronto Ohio Daily Tribune of Jan. 17-
"A delighted andience saw Samantha
Allen at the Court of Fame in Clarks
Opera Honse last night. The entertain
ers were forty young ladies and matrons
of Toronto. The historical pageant was
given by the ladies of the Presbyterian
church under the supervision of Miss
Harriet Harris. The young Thespians
did splendidly, the different characters
being portrayed in almost professional
style. It Is safe to say that every one in
the large audience was well pleased
There was no apparent stage fright
among the amateur actresses as is gen
erally the case on the first night of an
amateur theatrical performance."
The ladies of the Second Pres. church
of Butler will prodnce Samantha Allen
at the Court of Fame under the supervis
ion of Miss Harriet Harris on the even
ings of Feb. 10th and 11th in the Opera
House. The entertainers will be the

to be a complete success The proceeds

solicited.

Pittsburg Orchestra.
The two concerts this week. Friday
evening and Saturday afternoon, will
by many bo considered to have tho best
program of the season. Not only does
Warner dominate the list as a composer
bat the soloist, Madame Schumaun
Heink, is one of the great dramatic
singers of the day, and x'erhaps is the
most popular artist that comes to Pitts
burg. This will be the only concert ap
pearance this season of Madame Schu
mann-Heink, and as she has not decided
to come to this country next year it
may be the last opportunity to hear her.

Shall woman propose 1 "She shall
not if she respects the unwritten law
on that subject. But she may make
some verv strong hints when her best
fellow call to see her. She can tell
about the loneliness and hollowness of
her life; how she yearns to toss aside the
frivolities and .the follies of girlhood
and the vagaries of new women; how
she loves to do housework and to start
the fire early every morning, etc. A
cold-blooded proposal from a girl to a
young man is decidedly awkward for
both, but strong hints are always in
order."

all its energies and money into publish

the Biblical and humane idea that men
and newspapers should have one day's
rest in seven. The Times shows the re
sults of this in sending out a vigorous
paper. Accuracy and brevity are i's
watchwords. Its editorial page is the
work of several specialists and is one
that commends itself in its discussion of
current topics to the children of the
public school, as well as their fathers
mothers, teachers and all wljo read and
think. In politics its policy is Republi
can, giving all the news of all parties as
well. The Times also pays particular
attention to chnrcb matters, and its
church news is at once reliable and gen
eral. Its special correspondents every
where keep its pages day by day a pei
fect mirror of the world. The Woman's
page is a carefully edited one, and every
woman who know The Times is devoted
to this page. The Times is a model
paper. Six days a week for six cents.
