4 TWELFTH NIGHT PARTY IN MAY.
THE PROMISE OF A PLEASANT AFTERNOON AT
THE LYCEUM THEATRE.

The people who are so fortunate as to attend the
entertainment to be given by the Twelfth Night Club
at the Lyceum Theatre this afternoon are likely to see
a few things that will surprise them. we'll as many
that will interest and please. The bare fact OF the
performance being given by and in behalf Of club Of
young Of the stage is enough TO attract atten
ton, and it will be the most pretentIOus public
appearance that the club has yet made, the unlniu
curious about IL will have better chance
10 learn what the association really is than they ever
had before 1t should be understood that it is not
benefit The club is not In a condition to require
benefit and its purposes not such as to make one
appropriate in any case. But the club has doGe
useful service in its short history, and is likely to do
MORE and now that it wants clubroom, it gives this
entertainment to add 10 its funds for That purpose
This is frankly understood, and everybody who pays
the price of ticket has right to expect full equiv
slent for his money and it is the intention that he
shall get it.
While good many announcements have been made
about the programme. there is still air Of mystery
about some parts Of it. For instance nobody knows
exactly what Joseph Holland and Fritz Williams TO
do but they Will do something. Then, what kind Of
play is "The Corner Lot Chorus" likely to bel 1t MAJ
be that that is rot the name Of it, for another
name has been published. 1t is By Miss Grace Fur
Mss large nuTber of members Of the club will
appear in IT, and 1t been played before. "The
Violin Maker" will also he played. Mrs. Agnes Booth

soon after the election, last fall, we called attention
IA the selfevden discrepancies in the returns OF the

showed that good many more votes had been returned
for Judge Morris than could possibly have been cast
for him. and more than simple addition OF the tally
sheet items showed any one had even assumed 10
count for him.
tuesdays unofficial recount by representatives of
both parte, showed that our predictions literally
correct Judge Morris had twenty three votes connco
