i , Alvin Joslio. '"' y
Those of our.readers who may have
seeu the comedy of Alvin Joslin, as
played here last Winter by Mr. Charles
L. Davis and his company,' will be gjad
to learn that they will . appear here
agaiu next week:' Mr. JI M. Hyde, the
advance agent of the troupe, i is on the
city to-day and has made " arrange
ments fot their appearance here in the
Thursday of next week, the 8th inst,
when our theatre-goers may - expect
something genuinely good. The Syra
cuse Standard says of their appearance
in that city: i r
Charles L. Davis and a good com
pany played "Alvin Joslin" to a large
audience at the' Grand Opera House
last night! The piece was well present
cd and delighted a crowded; house be
yond measure,' Mr. Davis was called
before the curtain. at the end of the first
and second acts 'and ;the orchetra,
which can have but very few equals in
the country, was applauded time and
time again. The frequent peals of
laughter demonstrated-, conclusively
that the performance was appreciated.
Each tableau was encored, and in the
last act,' M r; Davis, an- eccentric, but
very agreeable gentleman, r came upon
the stage With bis $100,000 worth - of
aramonas. - Marry ij. wells is tlie acv
coin pli shed musical director of the
company,- Nathan Carl is the trom
bone soloist, Harry Hardy the Cornet
soloist, who says ;that he is ready to
meet Levy at any time, and Charles P.
Lowe is the xylophone soloist. The
performance will be repeated this
afternoon and evening, and these - who
have not heard 'Alvin Joslin" and the
excellent music this company furnishes
should not fail to take advange of this
opportunity!-;;; A s -
'InterestlDg Services, i
At an early hour last night our citi
zens began to v wend their way to St.
Paul's Lutheran Church, in orders 'to
be in season to secure good seats to
hear, the sermon .and other service8
corinected with5 the "celebration of the
366th anniversary of the commeece
ment of the Reformation, and for a
considerable time before the first bell
was rung and. the doors were opened
the throng kept gathering in front of
the church until the yard and sidewalk
were filled with people. When the
doors were opened the throng moved
into the building as rapidly as they
could without rushing dr confusion, and
in less than five minutes the ordinary
seating capacity of the church was
tafeen up.j i We peer eaw a building so
occupied filled in so.short a time and in
so quiet a manner. After the seats
were all accompanied, benches Were
placed in the aisles and those- were as
quickly and quietly filled ; but not half
of the throng could be accommodated,
and a great many were compelled Y to
stand during the service. The' house
wascrowded & 5 its utmost capacity,
yet there were a great manyestimat
ed at three hundred who could not
gain an entrance even to the vestibule,
and left to attend service in1 some of the
other churches. . . '
After the usual preliminary services
Rev. Mr. Peschaa. the pastor of the
Church, commenced his sermon upon
the Reformation, the causes which led
to it and the results which followed and ,
are stilt following it. Jit was a masterly
effort and was listened to with the most
profound attention and interest by all
his ' hearers. Chaste diction, vivid
imagery, graphic description and elo
quent and impassioned oratory-were
its characteristics Nerrly every sen
tehee contained a history, and each
history was a codnectins'link between
the present and the dim and distant
past, ri With these t historic facts the
speaker illustrated, very happily and J
with irresistible logic, the power and
goodness of God in preserving, sustain
ing and strengthening His Church, and
throughout the entire time (which was
about an hour) occupied in its delivery
there was ho, flaging in intercs or lack
in instruction. . :
The music for the occasion was gens
orally goodmuch better in fact than
we had reason ' to expect, when- we
knew that the instrumentalists had had
but one opportunity for Tehearsal and
that a very short one. The best musi
cians in the country: cdnnot do them-
