ing.
At the meeting of the Board of Regents
in July, W. P. Wiley, ex-senator Willeys

Law Department.
Since the beginning of ne session James
NJ. Lee, commandant Of cadets, has been
succeeded BY Lieutenant Wilson, of the ..
S. A. Notwithstanding Lieutenant Wilson
is an able and efficient officer, being dis.
tinguished graduate Of Vest Point, they
we're loath to give up Major Lee. The
Major is an E,umnus of the University.
Two years af.er his graduation he was ap-
pointed r. the responsible position Of COM
mande.nt of cadets and instructor in the
PREPARATORY department, which position he
Filed with credit to himself and to the State.
He labored assiduously for the promotion
Of the best interests Of the school, and
always kept watchful eye over those
under bis care. He did MOI, as some pro-
fessors, separate himself from the studen,s,
but commingled with them, in order that By
so doing he might be enabled 80 throw
around them a greater safeguard against
opposing evils No professor in the Uni
versity was more highly respected than he.
On the evening he turned over the "curps
to his successor, Lieutenant Tapp presented
him with a $50 sword, on the blade Of
which were these words: Presented TO

Prompt Action by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
to Breeders.
The Ohio county Board of Health has is
sned circular and inserted advertisements
declaring strict quarantine of all hogs in
the county. 1t also gives directions for the
treatment of diseased hogs, and breeders
should observe them with the most rigid
strictness. Unless such measures are thor
oughly and promptly taken, there is no tell.
ing where this epizootic may end. No ami
NAL or fowl is safe from it and it may even
be communicated to the human family.
Latest advices from the county districts
show the disease is still on the increase, bu:
these prompt measures will surely stamp it
out. Butchers are warned against handling
infected hogs and all farmers should care
fully read the instructions o. the Board.

PUBLIC PLAYS.

The PavemeniS of Paris will be at th.
Opera House tomorrow and Friday nights
An exchange says oft.
This new melo drama, fresh from mos
remarkable success in Chicago, was given
its FIRST Minneapolis presentation to a large
and enthusiastic audience at the Grand
last night The story is an interesting one,
The situations dramatically strong, the
scenic effects rather on the elaborate order
and-ebove ALT is interpreted by
strong company of actors and actresses.
"Payements Of Paris" differs from most
melodramas in that the sunshine and
shadow are more evenly distributed. The
hero and heroine are not dragged through
FIVE acts of suffering only to find a half
minutes happiness in the closing scene.
On the contrary there is little Of suffering
depicted, and what there is is soon lost
sight of in the rollicking scenes of comedy
which follow. The play, in brief is
melo-drama played by comediaus-a new
idea, and most satisfactory one-yet
despite al its attractions of plot and seen
cry, it would fail ofpublic appreciation in
the bands of a less talented organization
The Grimes of London" will be at the
Opera House on Saturday night. The
Philadelphia Record says Of it: "'Crimes
Of London was greeted at its second per-
Torrance last evening by crowded house.
The piece is of the usual order of sensation
ii dramas, furnishing a wide field for the
introduction Of startling cimaxeS and pow
erful stage effects. Two especially clever
bits Of character acting are seen in theim-
personation Of a broken-down lawyer and a
6ackshdden minister. These, like all the
other characters, are not novel, but they
are most cleyerly done. TIE applause last
evening was almost continuous. A matt
nee is announced for to-day. Next week

The Boston Dime Museum.
This pleasing double show held forth yes
teriay afternoon and evening at the Aci :
DENY OF Music, and was witnessed BY good
audiences, both afternoon and evening, and
all who attended gave positive evidence Of
being delighted with the many pleasant and
interesting features. This wonderful show
is indeed worthy Of a visit b. eur amust-
mentioning people, and no estimate Of its
merits should be formed from the small
price of admission asked. They
have a very interesting museum
collection, and give decidedly novel and
amusing performance, two hours 10 length,
which is good throughout, and OF charac'
ter that is unexceptionsble. Their matinee
and night performance yesterday, were
largely attended by ladies and children, and
ali were amply repaid for their visit. They
give performances every afternoon and
evening this week.
