The Biiou.

Following "Held by the Enemy al
the Bjjou, the management announces
the en- gagement Of the realistic comedy
drama "a Midnight Alarm tor the
coming week. The play was written by
James w. Harkins, former Mime.
apolitan, and reconstructed by Leander
Richardson of the Dramatic News. AS
a play satisfying all classes of theatre
goers "A Midnight Alarm" offers many
attractions. The drama is in Eve acts
and some decidedly effective and realis-
tic scenes are introduced. The first
scene presents picture Of the East
River Docks in New York, with a view
of the Brooklyn bridge by moonlight,
introducing Harry Wesumore the brave
young captain of Engine company No.
6, and Sparkle the vagabond news girl.
In this act occurs an attempted abduc.
ton in which Harry Westmore is the
hero. The second act offers very ex-
Citing game of pokerscene in the law
office of Williams and Williams, Beaver
street New York. An exciting game of
poker is played, cheating is discovered,
an assassination attempted ending Ia
tableau with the living statue clock.
The third act pictures Tillwell's farm
IN New Jersey, and the dastardly at
tempt to wreck the South Shore Express
by turning the drawbridge. One of the
strongest acts in the piece is the fourth.
In it is introduced the interior of Engine
House No. 6, representing in perfect
way the workings of a metropolitan fire
house. Showing the excitement of
midnight alarm and the flight of Engine
No. 6 in a storm, stage picture of
wonderful realism and stupendous
scenic magnifcence. The last act pre-
sents the home of brave Westmore and
the happy ending in which right over
comes vlllainy.

to all who are called TO the welded

mass Of mankiud. who have the voca-

him who should marry, get married as
soon as he can find his mate.

THE NATIVITY PLAY.
Its Splendid Production at St. Anthony
Hall. Many People Unable to
Gain Admission.

The new hall Of the parish Of St. An
thony Of Padua, on Second street and
Eighth avenue northeast, was filled to
everflowing Sunday evening, and many
people were unable to find standing
room and were obliged to return home
disappointed in not seeing the nativity
cantata that was there presented. The
play Was an appropriate one, coming at
the holiday season, for, as its name in
dicated, it is dramatization of the ma
tivity of Christ, beginning with the an
nunciatlon in which the Angel Gabriel
appeared before the Virgin Mary and
makes known to her that she is to be the
mother Of the Saviour of men. This was
presented in the first scene, the Angel
Gabriel being Miss Julia Harrington.
The whole play was somewhat on the
line of the famous nativity plays that
have been produced with so much Sue
cess in Germany. 1t also bore the char
acteristics of Christmas cantata, and
was gotten up by the mother superior
and the sisters. who rehearsed the chill
dren of the parish in their parts. The
biblical characters in the cantata were
all represented by young people. who
carried through the various parts in q
creditabie manner.
As the play proceeded, the Virgin
Mary, Miss Mary Danaher, visits her
cousin, Saint Elizabeth, whom Miss
Annie Norton impersonated, and the
chorus of angels chant, ''Ho1y, Holy,
Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth." The birth
of the Christ child is announced to the
shepherds, and again the angels chant
s'Glor1a in Excelsis Deo," in which Miss
Annie Mod onough was the sololst. Fol-
lowing this Miss Annie Lyons in her
sweet strong voice sang the carol, Tin q
Lowly Manger Lying" Later on the
magi are represented as visiting King
Herod, and then the Christ child in the
manger. In the latter scene Miss Annie
Getchell was the soloist in the carol, 20
Lovely Star" The remaining scenes
we're King Herod's palace, and the holy
innocents at the CRIB of the Saviour.
The cantata closed with tableau and
the hymn, ''What Lovely Infant Can
This Be?' in which Miss Cora Ryan was
the soloist. Those who took part were:
Misses Maggie Donahue, Mary Dana
her, Annie Moran, Katie McNamara,
and Masters Thomas Mccarthy, Samuel
Moran, John 81. Hurley, Jay Kelly, Mar
tin. Moran, Richard Kelly and Mertie
Stanchfeld.
The costuming and the singing Of all
of the participants was very creditable
and each act was received with applause.

The interview with DR.. Hoyt, OF the
First Baptist church, on the Catholic
| school question at Faribault, published
in the Journal last week, calls forth re-
join5er from R. A. Mott, of Farihault,
the gentleman who was referred to bv
DR.. Hoyt. Mr.. Mott first printed long
defense of the action of the school
board, which prompted DR.. Hoyt to give
some pertinent utterances. Mr.. Mott
rejoins, in communication to the Jour-
nal. He says:
'Your issue of the Odd instant reports
some utterances of Rev. Wayland Hoyt
OF your city, upon the public school
question, which, by your courtesy, I
should like briefylto notice. Permit me
to say that am not clergyman nor a
member OF the Faribault school board,
but that my statement of facts published
in the Pioneer Press of the Doth inst.
was made up from the school records
here, my own personal knowledge and
the statements of both parties to the ar
rangement here, and, after being written
was submitted to members of the school
board and the superintendent of schools
on the one side and to Father Conry on
the other, to verify my statements. They
all declare my statements to be true. /
now insist that it be distinctly under
stood:
First-That I decline to discuss the
merits or dement's. the right or wrong of
this school question, or any question
pertaining to it with the Rev. Wayland
Hoy, with the Minneapolis Ministerial
Association, or with anybody else, until
there be common knowledge and agree
ment as to the facts. My only object in
this matter is to ascertain and reveal the
truth as to the dismissal and closing OF
the Catholic parochial schools of Fari-
bault, and the planting of the public
school in their place and of the present
management of such schools.
Second-Everything have said in
print and everything have to say, re-
fers exclusively to our action in Fari-
bault and not to the action of Saltwater,
Poughkeepsie or any other place on
earth.
In your quotation from the report OF
the Ministerial Association OF Minneap-
OILS occurs this statement:
sThe state of Minnesota and the Ro-
man Catholic Oh urch have joined hands
and purses in Faribault and Saltwater
to maintain genuine parochial school
in which, by division Of time, the same
teachers instruct in secular branches
and secta rian tenets."
To that statement we enter a general
and specific denial of each and every
matter, fact and thing therein contained
and in my lengthy statement referred tc
| above I gave the facts to which now
beg leave to refer. Gentlemen, you
have made the affirmation, we have de.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
Archbishop Ireland Replies to the Rev.
Morey-R. A. Mott gets After
DR.. WaYland HoYt.

There have been couple of interest
ing contributions to the discussion going
on concerning the transfer of Catholic
parochial schools to the public school
system at Saltwater and Faribault.
Archbishop Ireland says in reply to Rev.
Mr.. Morey, Of Saltwater:
'It we're we'll for all concerned it Rev.
Mr.. Morey, before speaking OF this
school, would take pains to ascertain
the facts concerning it. The main trou-
BILE in regard to this school is this :
! Rev. Mr.. Morey and his fellow minister's
imagine conditions which do not exist
and argue from those supposed condi-
| tons. He says in his communication
that there Was much indignation in
Saltwater, both among Protestants and
Catholics, because the Hill school was
closed on Dec. S, on which day occurs a
Catholic church festival. The fact is the
school was not closed On that day; the
doors were wide open; the teachers we're
at their desks at the usual hour; the roll
was called; the pupils did not indeed
come; nor did Catholic pupils of other
public schools in Saltwater attend those
schools on that day. Was this the
fault of the teachers of the Fill school
If so, why not blame the teachers of
other public schools from which Catho-
lie pupils were absent? It has been al
ways the custom of the public schools Of
Saltwater to excuse from attendance On
Catholic church festivals Catholic chill
dren. No doubt Rev. Mr.. Morey CON-
siders such custom as wrong, because
it seemingly gives privilege to Catho~
lie children, but whatever be Mr.. Morey's
opinions, we have not advanced SO far in
Minnesota as to punish children for their
conscientious belief that On certain days
Of the year they ought to 90 to mass and
stay away from school. We have, thank
God, liberty OF conscience in Minnesota.
Mr.. Morey, before writing his letter,
should at least have consulted the sup
erintendent, MIR. Wilson, who would
have told him that the teachers of the
HILL school had been at their place, and
that he himself, as superintendent, had
told them that it was no fault Of theirs |
if the children did not attend. The
teachers of the Hill school know thor |
oughly we'll the laws and rules govern.
ing the public schools III Minnesota, and !
these laws and rules they will observe
L dc trust that in any future controversy
in which Rev. MIR. Mercy may be en-
gagged concerning schools he will state
facts as they are and not as he would
wish them to be. He will in this way
confer favor on the public and honor
himself"
