The Christian Endeavorers celebrated the | fourteenth aniversary of the society last night In the First Congregational church. There was a good attendance. The work of | the society since its inception and the work to be done In the future formed the principal toples for discussion. Rev, T. E. Crablet, in a brief address, welcomed the m the society and outlined the work that was proposed to be extended this year. He stated that the three features which it was the desire of the society to pay especial at- tention to were inter-denominational fellow- ship, missionary extension and good citizen- ship. Mrs. 0. M. Needham, state superintendent of the Junior Endeavors and a_resident of Alblon, followed with a brief address on the opportunities of the soclety. She stated that the soclety was organized fourteen years ago in the state of Maine and its membership was composed of a_fow of the members of one denomination. Since that time the mem- bership of the society has extended and in- cluded nearly all denominations with an enrollment of about 2,000,000. She gave a brief history of the missionary work done and stated that the relief movement for the benefit of the drouth sufferers at Albion had been started the Junior Endeavors, The work of educating the young people to be ready to bear the mantle, when the time came, of the older Christian workers who were rapidly passing away, was in itself worthy of the efforts which were being made at the present time, Miss Dorris Kinney, president of the Omaha union, gave a short talk on the co- operation of ‘the junior and young people's societies and advocated the appointing of superintendents for all socleties and by this means they could all be brought together and any little petty jealousies now existing would be done away with and the good accom- plished by the union of all societies would be much more lasting and beneficial. Miss Sara J. Bushnell of Hastings, super- intendent of the mission work In Nebraska, discussed Christian Endeavor and Missions. She thought that the foreign misslonary work was not receiving the attention that it should and while hard times were everywhere ap- parent, it was still harder to know that the heathen were being uncared for in a spiritual way. There was a great fleld for the growth and work for the Endeavorers and the measure of love born to Christ was shown by the manner in which His commandments’ were kept. 5 Mr. Jay Burne addressed the meeting on “Good Citizenship."” In his address the showed where good citizenship was a benefit to the people in this country If those who constituted good citizens exercised their privileges at the proper time and at the proper place. The celebration closed with consecration services, participated in by all societies and led by Rev. T. E. Cramblet. KING’'S DAUGHTERS PLAY. “A Lovely Rebel” at Washington Hall L Evening. The King's Daughters, No. 2, of the Church of the Good Shepherd, gave a dra- matic entertainment last evening in Wash- ington hall to a large house. After a musical. overture, In ‘which Miss Lee Elliotte presided at the piano, and Prof Jacob Sauerwein played the Yiolin, the cur- tain was pulled up on the first act of “A Lovely Rebel,” a melo-drama founded on in- cidents of the civil war. Mr. F. Edgar Hart sustained the role of Julian Farnsworth, U. S. A., with consum- mate ability, and he was vociferously ap- plauded. To Mr. W. A. Overbeck was as- signed the character of George Roberts, a major in the C. S. A., and his fine stage presence and unusual elocutionary powers were much appreclated. Mr. R. M. Bradley, in addition to acting in the capacity of stage manager, appeared as Judgo Thorne, a colonel in the confederate army, and acquitted himself very creditably. Mr. Alfred Patten, as Lieutenant Forbes, and M. R. C. Ambrose, ad Lieutenant Ellsworth, were both very good, while Mr. Joseph Wood- ruff, as “Wash, a runaway contraband, elicited much genuine laughter by his numer- ous personificetions of a regular ante-bellum, illiterate old darkey. There were but two ladies who took part in the histrionic portion of the program, Miss Ada Neville, who appeared as Miss Kate Spencer, a true Yankee, and Miss Nellle Campion, who enacted the part of Clare Thorne. Miss Campion has a very fine voice and a good theatrical pronunciation. During the cvening she sang with considerable feel- ing that charming and popular ballad, “Lit- tle Queen Irene.” Miss Spencer is also quite a vocalist, and has a clear and telling way of getting off her lines, Mr. Edward S, Thompson furnished a pleasant and highly entertaining varlety to tho program by his skillful impersonations and funny gags. Taken all in all, it was an eminently successful entertainment, and re- flects much credit on Mr. R, M. Bradley's management and his company. B ATHEKR FORECAST.
