Her life has been an inspiration and a benediction to all who have known her. Realizing sometime ago that the end was near, she spoke joyously of her departure and she said her trust was firmly fixed in the Christ who died for the redemption of mankind. She had kept the faith and realizing that a crown awaited her she fell gently upon sleep, passing out into the great eternity without a shad ow of fear, for by faith, she could reach up and clasp loving hands on the other shore. To all in affliction, on account of account of this earthly sorrow, there is great comfort in the thought that death had no terrors for her and that she now rests from her labors and that all is well with her soul.

Do you think one dollar a kiss is too high ? "Oh. no! Peoole expect to be robbed at these charity affairs." Jim Edmonds, city scavenger, died suddenly Saturday night hemorrage. The big scene in Mr. George Broadhurst's social drama"Bought and Paid For," which will be the attraction at Batchelor's Opera House, Monday night, February 1 6th, has one of the most tremen dous and staggering climaxes in modern drama. It is powerful because it is humanly and realis tically true, and because it reaches into the intimate experience of thousands of men and women. Robert Stafford, a powerful and dominant financier, has married Virginia Blaine, a telephone oper ator. After their marriage, Staf ford begins coming home drunk ai almost regular intervals, and forc ing upon his wife his drunken at tentions. Virginia has borne ii as long as she could. On this partic ular night he is unusually offen sive. After tne otner menioers ot the family have departed, he be gins to make love obnoxiously. She pleads with him; tries to ap peal to his manhood; escapes sev eral times from his embraces. But he is persistent. He follows her about the room. At length he goes to the door and orders cham pagne brought to the apartment with two glasses. He tries to get his wife to drink with him, but she refuses. He becomes angry and lets forth an uely stream of words. Again he tries to eaten ner ana force his Idisgusting kisses upon her. She throws him off, and tells him he is robbing her of her self- resnect. He becomes ugly and insultine. He tells her he has hniinht and oaid for her, that she was nothing until ne came anu lifted her out of her poverty. He says he has given her everything and that now she spurns his attec- lions; he declares he has a legal right to her, and by sheer bruie force he holds her in his arms and kisses her. She breaks away from him and rushes into her room locking the door. Inflamed by his drunken passion, he snatches the heavy brass fire tongs and crying in blind frenzy that he has a right to her, he crashes in the heavy wooden panel of her door and forces his way into her room. The scene is one of great strength and daring which, for over a year in New York, held great houses hrcathless. Seats now on sale at Cohen's nrntr Store. Prices 50, 75, $1 and $1.50.
