Death of Mrs. Bridges
"God's finger touched her and she slept"
A death which has saddened
our entire city was that of Mrs.
D. W. Bridges which occurred on
Sunday night at one o'clock after
a painful illness of ten days.
Mrs. Bridges had lived here
only a few years and yet in that
short time had drawn many
friends to her by her sweet, sun
ny disposition and attractive per
sonality. ' -V.
' A death of this kind is peculi
arly sad when life to all appear
ances held so much in store; was
so full of promise and when a
new life had just been entrusted
to a mother's love and keep
ing, but God in His own good
time will draw the veil aside, will
wipe away ail tears trom our
eyes and then we ll under
stand".
Besides the devoted husband
and two little ones Mrs. Bridges
is survived by her mother Mrs.
Marcellus Jagoe of Cadiz Ky. and
several brothers and sisters to
whom we tender the deepest
sympathy.
The funeral was held at the
residence on Monday morning a
nan alter eleven ana was con
ducted by Dr. D. H: Scanlon
assisted by Drs. E. B. Barnes and
G. W. Crutchfield.
The following beautiful hymns
were sung: "Abide With Me,"
"Come Unto Me" and "It Is Wei
With My Soul" after which the
services were concluded and the
remains were taken to her old
home at Cadiz, Ky. for burial.

'The Melting-Pot"
On Wednesday evening in the
Chapel of the Eastern Kentucky
State Normal, Miss Jeanie Barron
Hurst,. Teacher of Expression,
presented Israel Zangwill's pow
erful drama, 'The Melting-Pot"
in which she won instantaneous
success.
Miss Hurst's portrayal pf char
acter from the witty native of the
Emerald Isle,. "Kathleen, the
Serving Maid' to Mendel Quix
ano," the old music master, was
realistic in the extreme. How
ever, her marked triumph was
achieved in the second and third
acts by her soulful presentation
of David, the Jewish lad fired
with enthusiasm for the cause of
his people, for the hope of op
pressed Israel, salutes the flag of
America, the great "Melting-Pot"
where "the fires of God" are
melting race hatred and bringing
the Jew into his own.
Miss Hurst's further rendition
of the play, David's recital of the
terrible Russian massacre, was
intense with passion and voiced
with wonderful truth and pathos.
The evening throughout was a
memorable one for the people of
Richmond, for in addition to the
artistic work of Miss Hurst the
musical program by Mrs. Kellogg,
Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Hoskinson,
Miss Bright and Mrs. Ballard was
one of the most . finished and
beautiful ever given by home tal
ent in our city. The auditorium
was especially pretty with its
decorations of pink blossoms,
palms and other potted plants,
this being the work of Miss Gib
son and Mrs. Hume. .7
