...perhaps the most amusing bit of acting in the whole piece. Mr. Mackintosh's make-up as Lady Allcash was a triumph for Mr. Rothe and Mrs. Wilson, and in his duets with Fra Diavolo and Lord Allcash (Mr. Simmons) he obtained encores. The other characters were excellently done, and the chorus when on the stage refrained with admirable self-control from getting up to the foot-lights and monopolizing the acting, - a prevalent fault among amateur "supers...
...class of these words sprang into an immense use as a consequence of the Chicago fire, and have retained their place in the journalist's dialect ever since. Doubtless the man who invented the expression "Fire-Fiend" thought he had done a good thing in the way of personification, and the first six or seven editorials on the great fire were perhaps strengthened by the use of that bold figure.

They have polluted the temple of God, they have...
...coatless, on the Common. Nor are their brethren of the oar a whit behind those who prefer taking their exercise on land to going down to the sea in shells. The University and all the class crews go out every day to try what months of Gymnasium work has done for their muscles. The members of the University are not yet decided upon, as it is too early in the season, but the crew will probably consist of Dana (stroke), Goodwin, Morse, Low, Bacon, Devens (bow). The Junior crew is at present Silsbee (stroke), Wheeler, Good-rich, Harding, Burry...
