The most ren. rkable address ever U?
heard in this city was that of Gypsy

at eleven o'clock, and besides .jffQ *[
bringing home many strong points * ?T?
he delightfully entertained his au- 91

dier life in the trenches. He ap peared
here in the interest of the jfr*
united war work camnn Icn JlU i
began yesterday, and the crowd jSjfe
overfilled the opera house perhaps- SpQ
two or three times. Mr. Smith was |zh
scheduled to speak in open air but j
it was so cold this morning that ho u*
was afraid to attempt it, and the | fi~
crowd consequently was greatly

only about one-third could get in 3 SQ

marched down in a body hut when t "C
