A large audience should greet the de-
servedly popular play Held by the
Enemy" at the Grand opera to-mor-
row night, as well as Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings. 1t is not too
much to say the Held by the Enemy"
is dramatically one of the strongest and
most intensely interesting plays before
the public. The scene is laid in South
ern city during the war Of the Union,
and the flavor of war incidents, and the
romance render it thrillingly exciting.
The author has been fortunate in con-
structing his play so that it does not
appeal to sectional prejudice, but Is as
popular with the veteran who wore the
gray as the one who wore the blue. The
necessary love story is well told and
fittingly developed, and the element OF
comedy, so essential to the success of
every drama, enters largely into its
composition. Few modern plays have
been so well adapted to the popular
idea as this work of Mr.. Gillette's. The
company is good without exceptions and
the piece is given most artistic repre-
sentation. This is not the ingenious
opinion of the ubiquitous advance agent,
but an honest recognition of worthy
play, whose well-earned fame plecedeS

The police commission, or ratherl
Commissioners Guile and Babb, met i'm
executive session in the mayors privatei
Office yesterday. Maj. Norton, the sec-I
rotary of the board. said he had tele1
phoned to Commissioner GjertSen,si
store. but he was not there, nd'tliei
session was opened without the pres
ence of the man who has been entirely
ignored in the proceedings of the COM
mission since the conSummation of the
Bracket Guile-Babb combination. The
only business transacted was the dis
missal of Adelbert Hall. a patrolman as
signed to the Fifth precinct, formerly a
detective at police headquarters, and
at one time connected with the mounted
squad. Charges were preferred
against Officer Hall by Supt. Brack-
etti of INSTRUMENTATION. The charges
grew out of the affidavit made by Hall
rejecting OIL the actions of the superin-
tendent in connection with his visit in
company with Halt to a certain house of
ill-fame IN South Minneapolis which
was published in recent issue of the
Free Lance. When Maj. Morton gave
the above information to the reporters
after the meeting one of them ex-
claimed: at isn't safe for an officer to
tell anything rejecting on his superior
or to make an affidavit TO anything of
that character while on the force, is it?'
"Well, not while he is Policeman"
remarked the genial secretary with a
laugh.
tits said that the summary action of
the police commission was caused 10y

facts set forth in his affidavit before the

thin as air will be the attraction pre-
scented for the consideration of the
patrons of that house. No claim of Sc
rious or intricate plot is made for this

is is funny, and that it has been making
the public laugh throughout the coun-
try for the past four seasons. 1t is
claimed to be bundle of amusing alb
surdities, interspersed with uproarious
situations and climaxes, and the whole
woven together with series of songs,
dances and catchy music. The COM
pany presenting it is headed by E. j.
Connolly, an eccentric comedian whose
creation of 1.-THE Barber in this play
has placed him in the front rank of
comedians of that class. and he is ably
seconded by the bright little soubrette,
Dolly Foster. and an able company,

of the entertainment. The BijOu fire.

Failure to- Appear in Court.
A few weeks ago Ella j. Thomas
Head filed an application for divorce
from her husband, Ernest K. Head,
for cruelty and neglect. Ernest came
back at her with an answer which de-
clared that she was the one at fault,
and that Mother-in-Law Thomas was
chiefly responsible for the trouble
which had broken up a once happy
home. The case attracted considerable
attention from the fact that the
parties have been married but
short time. and that be-
fore marriage and all through
a somewhat protracted courtship they
seemed to be so thoroughly BOUND up III
each other. The husband is also well
known about town, he having been
cashier at the Nicoliet house for some
time. MIR. Head was recently taken sick
with typhoid fever, perhaps the result
of worry over his domestic difficulties,
and Mrs. Head came to his bedside Ike
a true woman. Since IheE they have
probably decided not to get divorced.
At any rate, Mrs. Heads petition for
temporary alimony was dismissed yes
terday because Of her Hon-appcarance.
