 proving the same or any part thereof to be punished by fine of one hundred
 dollars or one hundred days in the
 county Jail"

 Under the supervision Of Prof. Tbayer
 who has assumed charge of the musical | faatures of the Congregational church,
 a marked and effective change has been
 made in the interior of that building in order to accommodate an augmented choIr. The blind gallery at the front of the church, over the vestlbule, has l been made over into q real choir loft with stairway entrance through the | tower. 4 handsome yelling of rich plush on a supporting rod, gas fixtures, new ] floor, mating udfurniture are among
 the added things. In this gallery Prof. | Thayer will on the coming Sunday and thereafter gather hIs corps of singing people. The musical feature promises
 to be attractive.
 The performance at the Opera House last night was attended by very large audience, an was upon the whole very satisfactory. The ostensible object of
 skipped is to raise a laugh or a sue | cessIon of laughs and this was surely achieved. The tendency of most com
 panies who play ''Skipped'' is to indulge in too much horse play, slammlng and banging each other all over the stage. IhIs, while 1t usually causes a big up rear ID the audience is witnessed with pain by a majority. Several times last evening the company showed that 1t had been trained to avoid this sort of business and drew the line and resumed the dialogue when the hilarity
 might have been kept up by such ille-
 gitimate efforts.
 Theatre-goers who enjoy a hearty laugh will not neglect to visit the Opera House on Friday night. Skipped by the Light of the Moon" is a magnet that
 Seldom fail to draw out a full house.
 the piece irresistibly funny and thoroughly enjoyable, and interspersed IS 1t Is with much new music and many bright songs and other specialties which have been introduced for the present seasons tour, 1t was never more Popu- lar than it is at the present time. There
 several first-class comedians Tn the com pany who are we'll adapted to their res pective parts. Among the principals will be found such well-known names as those of Chas. J. Hagan, Budd Ross,
 Geo. 4. Booker, E. $. Tarr, Miss Lida Wells, Estelle Clinton, Lizzie lngles and others.
 The screaming farce comedy Skip ed by the Light of the Moon' will be
 presented at the Opera House on Friday
 night. No matter how deep seated may
 be the blues Skipped" will banish
 them. The piece is a very Imaginable one-neither comedy or tragedy, but Is a bundle of Rbsurdities generously sup piled wi in musical eccentTlcitIes, and IL
 gives every member Of the cast an op-
 portunity to exercise hIs or her ability
 to the best advantage. It abOunds in laughRble, side splitting situations and the audience is kept in roar of taught CT from the time the curtain rises until
 it falls upon the last act. The play has
 recently been revised and many new
 features and much new music have been
 introduced for this seasons tour, and it's
 new shape it IS said to be funnier than
 ever.

 versity were giving Thursday of this
