The Brigham Young Academy is
again claiming the public attention 10
its enlarged facilities for the coming
school years work. Professor Maeser
has again bsen retained as principal of
the Academy, and has selected very
able corps of leachers to assist him, in
tending to increase the popularity of
this already great institution, especially
in the training of noTmals. There Is,
moreover, an increased desire on the
part OF the young people to attend dur
ing the coming year of all years, as it is
expected tnan;Professor Maeser will not
confne his labors to the schoo room
much longer. 1t is probable that
DR.. NJ. II. Hardy will take
charge of the scientific department,
adding thereby his well known ability
to the instructing force heretofore EN-
ployed. The thirteenth year of this in
situation will open on the 9Th day of
August, and it is confidently expected
that larger attendance than for many
years past will be present at that time.
Indeed 1t is an imperative necessity
that it should be SO. Trustees are writ
ing from all over the Territory for
graduates of the academy to take
charge OF their schools, but the supply

Miss JEFFREYs- LEWIS was with US
last night. Owing to the ugly rumOrs
abroad as to the cause of her inability
to play at Salt Lake, her greeting
was not as cordial as it otherwise would
have been, but in overcoming the cold
nsss of her reception, her genius was
the more apparent. Quick to grasp the
well told truth, however awkWart, her
large Provo audience responded with
It's heartlest applause at the expression
OF the fact that a man may lead two
lives, while for woman, there is but
one. But the most responsive chord
was struck and every barrier of sympa-
thy le7elled at the words there would
be no place in the world for such
women as l, were it not for such men
as you" From that on the audience
was hers. However. there were those
who accorded the palm Of the evening
to Mr.. Mainhall for his acting, so eff
fectlVe without any striving for effect
1t is to be regretted that Miss
Lewis could not give US another
evening, but we are to be compensated
or the loss BIZ the grand ratification
rally OF the Utah County Democracy,
which will take place in the Opera
House this evening.
THE time Of Judge Booth has of late
been occupied in hearing the cases of
several young men who are under arrest
for killing fish with giant powder. Fine
in each case, 500.
The fish hatchery on Provo bench is
now ready with the most improved ma
chinery to drill for artesian water.
THE Denver & Rio. Grande Railway
Company have transferred their coal
business from the lumber company to
Dodd & Deal, who take charge on the
1stof August.
THE greatest political demonstration
Provo has ever witnessed is promised
onight. Several speakers from Salt
Lake will be present, besides our own
big guns. Two brass bands will help
to enthuse the populance, and nothing
less is expected than that conveyed by
the Touchdown expression, Jam
boree."
PLEASANT GROVE and Springville,

theatre last night. Nephi. also, was
