ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE.

The Columbia Literary Society announces its Commencement play for Monday, June 17, when its members will present the stirring drama, "Alexander III.” The scene of this play is laid in Italy in the middle of the twelfth century, a period of intense, historic interest and epoch-making deeds. The very name of Frederick Barbarossa, the principal character in the drama, points to things extraordinary. He is the soul of the titanic struggle for supremacy then waged by the Secular against the Ecclesiastical Power. This central idea is portrayed admirably well throughout the drama, which, although moving along a high plain of thought, is not of such a classic fiber that it could not be thoroughly understood and appreciated also by those who are not students of history. In presenting Alexander 111 the Columbia Literary Society is confident in promising its friends some two hours of exceptional entertainment. Play opens at 8 o’clock p. m. Admission 25 cents. Wanted To Purchase: Agood Jersey cow not over 6 or 8 years old, and a few pigs not over 3 months old. Enquire at this office.
