Y. W, C. A. Notes.
The girls who attended the convention at Topeka, last week, came home full of enthusiasm over it. There were helpful suggestions, and many of them tor each department of association work, and every session was full of interest. Saturday morning a prayer service was held at Washburn College, each delegation having its own prayer circle, and Sunday morning quite a number of the delegates went out to the Reformatory and taught classes in the Sunday-school A spirit of deep earnestness manifest throughout the whole convention was noticeable and its influence will be felt in many lives. The Topeka association is highly praised for the efficient way in which they managed the entertainment of the delegates.

Hoyt's Best.
The characters in "A Midnight Bell" are studies from the life of the people of New England, and are all strongly drawn. It is generally considered the best of Chas. H. Hoyt's comedies, and while it has a plot and is more dramatic than the others, a large number of specialties are introduced in a natural manner. Alice Roseland, a clever young actress formerly with Augustin Daly's company, appears as "Dot," supported by an excellent company of twenty-five people, including Harry S. Robinson as "Deacon Tidd," Gus Tate as "Martin Tripp," and Lillie Dawson specially engaged to introduce her catchy specialties.
