ELEVEN WERE PLUCKED.
But the Only Woman in the Class Went
Through With FIying CoIors.

Out of a class Of twenty seven students
who presented themselves at the bar OF the
Supreme Court for examination to be adj
mtted to practice as attorneys and coun-
sellers eleven were yesterday plucked. The
names Of those who successfully passed
and were granted certificates are as follows:

Alexander Webster. Ross Campbell, James
II. Darwin, Albert Won Schriltz, James III.
Carey, Z. A. Gervin, Henry Ii. McPike and
}. b. Clarke.
Mrs. Craig is an ex-school teacher and
was recently welded to Scipi0 Craig, the
editor of the Redlands Citrograph. She is
the first lady In California to obtain place
on the roll OF attorneys by undergoing The
rigorous test Of an examination IN court by
the venerable catechists on the Supreme
bench.
The fee for the license is $40 in each case,
which is returned to all rejected applicants.
No person rejected is at liberty to renew
the application earlier than the third regu-

Mrs. Lou Johnson broke parasol-handle
over the head Of Louis Herbert In one of
the City Ball corridors yesterday morning.
The incident created quite an exciting
diversion for the attorneys, clerks and
loungers who happened on the scene. Tha
man endured the attack OF the irate woman
very meekly and only raised his arms to
shield his derby hat. which was badly
crushed during the battery. Herbert is
awaiting trial on charge of having de-
irauded Clara Coates OF considerable sum
OF money. Mrs. johnson says he also de-
frauded her out Of 500.

SPORT Nf'ALLISTER.
A Roaring, Red-Hot Play, and-a
Good Company.


st. Paul amusement seekers will have
an opportunity tonight to witness at
the Grand opera house the New York
comedy success "SpOrt McAlliSter, One
of the 4OO," comedy that comes here
with the same grand organizati on that
captured the fup-lOving public of New
York, Boston. Philadelphia, Chicago,
etc. The company, which is headed by
Robert GaylOr, the funniest of Irish
com edians, comes direct from New
York run of over fifty nights. The
company is described by competent
Judges as a laughing festival, and is
funny enough to make brass monkey
laugh.
Jeremiah, or Sport McAllister, is an
Irishman of leisure with sporting pro-
clivities and an ambition for political
honors. He receives the nomination for
the office of sheriff of the city of New
York from the Democratic party, and at
once proceeds to canvass for votes in
opposition to Dennis McGinty, the Re-
publican candidate for the same office.
The latter is game. however, and shows
fight. The electiOneering tricks re-
sorted to by both sides in order to Sc
cure the popular vote are Immensely
funny. Sport calls a meeting of his
followers. and his rival, who lives Oppo-
site to him, calls an opposite rally.
Sports son writes up a speech for his
father, to be delivered from the balcony
on the night of the meeting, and while
prompting his father on that occasion
he transfers the manuscript TO his
dudiSh step-brother, Percy, who gives
the old man protection speech instead
Of the proper line. A vOlley of bricks
and other missiles is the result of the
mistake. and Percy is sent off in dis
grace. Sport is not daunted by the
accident. however, and invites the
bosses of the foreign vote to grand
banquet, where, by his clever dlplo-
macy, he becomes master of the Sltua-
ton.
Many fine speclalties are introduced
in the second act, which is the most
unique of the three. Among the
specialties may be mentioned comic
duet between MeSSrS. Gilbert and
Goldie, musical comedy team new to
st. Paul, but said to be extremely
funny. Comedian Gaylor himself Is
said to have made the hit of his life as
1.-The man that broke the bank at Monte
Carlo" aud many other numbers by the
various members Of the organiZa ton
will be presented.
Following "Sport McAllister" at the
Grand comes John f. Sheridan in "a
Night OH the Bristol" This farce
comedy was one of the first of its kind
on the American stage, and in its
original production Mr.. Sheridan
created the part of ''Widow O'Brien."
Since that time he has played the char
acter almost continuously, having at
tanned great success in it in both Eng
land and Australia. Mr.. Sheridan
brings with him number of peUple
who have be en- with him in both Eng
land and Australia.
