Play.
Prof. Kirk, Of the state department. of
public instruction, returned from Hast

dressed a large meeting of teachers at
tending the institute being held there

of English Men of Letters" Prof. Kirk

Wordsworth. SOuthey, Scott, Byron and
Shakespeare, and his lecture was re-

The state fish hatcherieS near Pigs
Eye have been fairly successful during
the present year. under the supervision
of S. 5. Watkins, superintendent, and
Robert 0. Sweeny, president of the
board of management. Compared with
last year the number of young fish dis
tributed throughout the state this year
was 2,0000O0 less. The diminutiOn was
largely made up in wall-eyed pike, for
as against $4,000 distributed this year
there were 3,900,O00 last year. There
were, however, 100000 wall-eyed pike
eggs distributed. The total number of
fish distributed was 12,GOO,022, against

The district court, without the serv-

The high school pupils are engaged
in discussing questions of a good deal
of Importance. A short time ago the
BacOnian cryptogram was carefully
gone over, anu now another subject of
equal Importance is under cOnsidera-
ton: ''When a building is destroyed
by fire, is it burned up or burned
DOWN." The agitation of this question
is exciting a good deal of interest
among the pupils, and unless efforts are
made to put to an end to the excite
ment, the state may be compelled to
erect another lunatic asylum.

Evening schools are being held at the
following school buildings: Franklin,
Madison, Cleveland. jackson, German,
Humboldt. Adams, Van Buren, and
Baker. These schools" remarked Su-
perintendent TAYLOR, ''have during the
past few years been very successful.
Last year there were over 5000 pupils
enrolled; and wish to call attention to
the fact that there are still vacancies for
about 100 more pupils in the various
schools. Employers who have young
men or young women in their employ
should offer every inducement to them
- attend, as an excellent opportunity is
SffOrded every one for acquiring the ru-
3iments of an English education. The
only fee charged is 81 per month to
students over the age of twenty-0ne."
A scene not IN the play was enacted
at the Peoples last evening, which for
the time being caused a fiutter of eX-
element to pass through the audience.
1t was in the last act of ''ROsedale," in
the ballroom scene, where the squire
gives chase to the boy to secure
book. An extraordinary and
anlooked-for tableau was presented.
lust as Mr.. Stanley had caught up with
Che boy and succeeded in breaking up
the ballroom sets, the rear piece of
scenery in some way became detached
and came down with a crash, frighten-
ing the ladies considerably. Mr.. Lipman
turned just in time to break the fall of
the unruly piece of canvas by catching it
in his arms. His presence of mind
averted what might have been a serious
affair, as the scenery in its fall came in
contact with a lighted chandelier. The
curtain went down in the midst of the
confusion, but the audience kept their
seats and applauded until the curtain
went up again, revealing the ball room
in good order and the members of the
oOmDanV cOmOOSed again.
