St. Putrick‘s Day was the rendition of Esmeralda, the four~act comedy drama by Francis Hodgson Burnett and Wil- liam Gillette, produced under the aus- pices of the B. I. S. alld under the di- rection of Mr. Frank Oliver, in the Prince Edward Theatre. There was an exceptionally large attendance, the hall being well~fllled. The curtain rang up on a magnificently arranged patriotic tableau representing the dit- ferent nationalities comprised within the British Empire. It was very efi`ec~ tive and beautiful. During the ta- bleau a lad in highland costume step- `ped out and sang in excellent voice "Never let the old Flag lfzlll". the other members joining ill the chorus. Tile tableau and song were both tle- servedly applauded. The ilrst act of the drama. opened ill the Rogers Home- _ stead in Carolina, where George Drew, a speculator (T. Edgar Shaw), offers

MRS. MARTIN MURPHY.

It is a sad solemn duty to record the

_demise oi' Mrs. Martin Murphy, wllosc death took place at her llonle ill Glen- garry, Lot 7 on Wednesday evening, Feb, 24th. The immediate cause of death was inflammation which was contracted ill sonle unknown way on Saturday coupled with the birth of an infant daughter on Monday. Tile two severe illness coming so closely to» gether was to mucll for human stren- gth to endure and she willingly gave up her life to Him that guvc it. Her death come asa sllock not only to the neighbors and relatives but to her dutiful nurse and killd attentive hus- band, wllo had no preselltnlullt what- ever, that the Angel oi' death was so near them. On going to her bed to see that she was warmly wrapped, her _ husband found her camly sleeping that sleep, that knows no awakening. Death in any case is sad, but when It takes away n young wife and nlotll- cr leaving eleven children the greater number of whom are very, very young and all infant scarcely two days old, it is tllen and only then that it chills the heart with grief. Mrs. Murphy was a woman possessed of most com- mendable qualities was social in her disposition genial in her manner and blest with a good motllerly heart, whose many acts of kindness her lit- ltle orphans now sadly miss. Scnrcely an hour before her death she received Holy Communion from the hands of Father Gauthier. Palmer lload. her own Pastor being absent. A great mark of respect was showll the de- ceased by the large number of slelghs, which followed her remaills to St. Mark’s Church on Friday morning. A funeral mass was sung by the Pastor Father Stephen McDonald after which she was silently borlle to the Ceme- tery where the grave closed over an affectionate wife and mother. Sincere 1 sympathy is extended to Mr. Murphy and family in their bereavement.

Humors in the blood cause inter-

nal derangements that affect the whole system, as well as pimples, boils and other eruptions, and are responsible for the readiness with which many people contract disease.
