Catholic Notes.

Look at ladies’ notions and jewerly at Mrs. Lecklider’s at the Emporium. Dress goods will never be so cheap again as they will be on Saturday, Apr. 27, at The Model.

Next Monday at 10 a. m. the nuptials of Miss Ellen Lane and Joseph Rajal will be celebrated in St. Augustine’s Church. The dramatic and musical entertainment given under the auspices of the S. L. S. at the opera house last Thursday was a great success. Miss Maggie Healy as the abandoned wife gave an excellent interpretation of that difficult role, Miss Lucy Donnelly was also- an excellent effort and her work was highly commendable, Mr. Wm. Beck was noticably strong in bis tragic scenes and his longer lines were well delivered. Francis Meyer was exceptionally strong his ehavacteiization of ihe Yankee Detective being one of the strong. points of the play. Too much cannot be said of him as the disguised dutchman and artist. He had the audience in roars of laughter during his parts. Wm. Walters did all that could be expected of him; he was a true specimen of the “colud gem’n”. Messrs Peter Hordeman Joseph Luers, Francis Borntraeger, Chas. Maclainburg, Thosi, Eigelsbach and William Meyer played their parts creditably. Special tributes of praise were lavished upon John Eigelsbach who played his role in such an excellent manner and appeared as the “cute little sailor.” The recitation of Mable Doty was received with rounds of applause and her appearance together with the college band added considerably to the entertainment. The- S. L. S. tender ' their thanks to Mable Doty for her kindness, also to the People’s Pilot and Rensselaer Republican for advertising the play, and in particular does the S. L. S. tender its thanks to all who attended and encouraged the efforts of our home talent. The net proceeds amount to S4O. and will be used in purchasing books for the library of the Si L. S. •Improvements will soon be made on the Catholic cemetery. The hill facing the gravel road will be cut down, a new iron fence will ornament the road sides, and a small chapel containing a statute of the Dolorous Mother will be erected in the center of the cemetery.
