Not Intensely Patriotic

It bas been frequently asserted that Ann Albor can and does turn out a very chilly kind of au audience to any play that comes along, but it remained for Ypsilanti, to turn out the coldest audience on record to judge by tlie following taken from the Washtenavv Evening Times of last Friday: "JEvery person in the audience at the opera house last night was supplied with a printed statement of a copyof a dispatuh ealling out Company .G-, M. N. G., to actual service. To wind up the entertainment of the 'Mistlètoe Bóugh last night the Light Guards rnarched in on the stage and prèsented arms. Mrs. Frederick Pease stepped out before them and sang in a most feeling nianner 'Tbe Star Spanglfed Banner.' Coming to the chorus slae fahiy beseeched the audience, by gesture, to join in with her as a farewell to that company, many of whom may never return to Ypsilanti alive, and the audience remained as iinrnovable as a Jew street vender wheu he has reached the lowest;selling price on a pair of suspenderá. On the second versé it 'kind o' dawned on the rninds that there was prospeets of war with Spain and somebody in front rose in their seats. The entire audience then got up. A few joined in on the chorus but those who did were looked on by their nearest neighbors as inf ringing upon the program."
