Those who attended chapel yester day were delightfully entertained by the well known impersonator, Frank Dunlap, of Omaha. Mr. Dunlap apol igbed for his severe cold but assented that nothwithstanding this misfortune he wub a good talker. This was ac counted for by the fact that his father was an Irishman and his mother was a woman and so he acquired the art hon estly. Ho then amused tho audience by several "stunts" including "An Irish man's Interpretation of Longfellow's Poem, 'Bxcellsior,' " the impersonation of tho noted English actor, Sir Honry Irving, and the distinguished Ameri can comedian, Sol Smith Russet.
