At the close of school last Friday
MIR. Porter announced the death of
William Oxford, member of the
High School during last year. He
expressed the feeling of all, teachers
and pupils alike, when he spoke Of
William as d pleasant associate, an
earnest, faithful scholar, and a manly
Young man. We would extend most
h, arty expressions of sympathy to
Cora Oxford and to Charles Oxford,
both of whom were also scholars with
us last year. ..s54H
Rhetorical work was conducted in
several rooms ON Friday afternoon.
Those in the First Grade room were
especially interesting. The front
blackboard had been covered with
red cloth and onto this were pinned

Adrian Guardian: Sheriff Thorn
was in the west end summoning jurors
this week, paying our city a visit
Wednesday. He told us that his
nephew, who was so seriously injured
last week, is doing as we'll as
could be expected. -. Our old friend,
Thos. Klassey, was an Adrian visitor
couple of times. "Tom' is ever
loyal to Warrington, but has to come
to the metropolis occasionally when
he runs out of supplies. He gets
tired of frog diet, and longs for a
piece Of bologna occasionally.
The X. ST P, of Adrian, are going
to have big ball and supper, with
music and speeches on the side; to-
morrow night. We notice our veneer
able friend and neighbor, Rev. Rob't.
McCune is down for one of the princi-
pal speeches; we hope it will end there
that is, with the speech and banquet;
we should dislike very much to look
in upon that gay and happy throng
and see the Elder with a big button
hole boquet,c cutting pigeon-wings with
one of Adrian's fairest; not that we
think there is.any particular harm in
dancing, but it would make the
Adrian boys jealous, you know.

a Big Annual Event at the Metro
DoIitan Opera House


The Press club has been particularly
fortunate this year in selecting Thurs
day afternoon, Jan. 20, as the date for
the annual benefit, for at no other time
during the season could they have Sc
cured so desirable list of attractions.
-Four of the pest companies on the road
will be playing in the two cities during
the week. and the club will be enabled
to present the best specially features Of
each company. Evans and HOey Will
be at the Metropolitan and Alvin JOslyn
at the Grand, i'll this city, while Stuart
Robson and Mckee Rankin will be in
Minneapolis, and the leading members
Of all the companies Will be assigned
numbers on the programme suited to
their respective characters, atfOrdIng
variety of good performances. in which
every one in the house, granting that
every seat is filled, Will find something
particularly pleasing TO himself. In
addition to the professionals there will
be a number OF local attractions of the
highest order. Prof. Baldwin has ar
ranged to be present with his entire
chorus. and will be assigned TO one of
the numbers. Thus it will be seen that
while the entertainment is given for the
benefit of the Press club, it is by no
means a charitable affair. for il affords
every one present an opportunity such
as could be afforded in no other way to
see the best performances of four of the
best companies on the road tor very
modest admission fee. 1t will be we'll
to secure tickets early, for the house is
sure to be packed.

FOR LOVERS OF SONG

The "MiIkmaid Of SchOeneberg"
VIII Amuse the Germans at the
Met Tonight.
At the Metropolitan this evening the
merry music of the ''Milkmaid of
ScOeneberg" will form a pleasant
transition from the tragic and sorroW-
full scenes of The Mennonite" as pre-
sented by the Bollman company last
Sunday evening, and, instead Of pathos,
there will be fun galore. The suffer
ingS and trials of ReiuhOld and Marie
will be superseded by the spTightliness
Of the milkmaid and her lover, and the
duet OF Neuma and SchOber will take
place OF the love and death scenes of
ROemer and Schneider. The prOverbial
love Of the Germans for jOllity and mu-
sic Will be gTatihed TO the fullest extent.
and every one can come prepared to
laugh, and they might as well bring
their tear bags along, as they will come
in handy after the power of straight
laughter is exhausted and the flow of
pleasures tears mast be given full sway.
A synopsis OF the story Of the play is
unnecessary, as it would simply mar
the unfolding of the pretty scenes to be
enacted. Two names in the cast are a
the performance. and the long interval
that has been passed in waiting for the
temperance of Martha Neuman and
Christian SchOber in roles to which they
could do credit has only Whetted the ap-
petite of the lovers OF the German drama
to higher degree. If you want to be
entertained Sunday evening just leave
the entire matter in the hands OF the
"Milkmaid of Schoeneberg" and you
will not be disappointed. Following is
the cast of characters:

Opera House.
"a Kentucky Colonel" new comedy
drama, with Mckee Rankin in the title
role. will inaugurate a weeks engage
ment at the Grand opera house with q
performance tonight at SIS. The play
is founded Oh the novel of Opie Read
by this name. and, like the story. the
main attempt OF the author is to present
strong scenes and strong characters
from Kentucky, true to nature and at
the same time preserve the general in
teTest. The pictures presented are said
to be IuIl of human Interest, and the
skilled humOrist is said to turn the
course OF the stream of peculiar indi-
viduaIity to its end without apparent
eXaggeratiOn or burles6ue. The play is
described as a clever blending of char
acter drawing. The story of the
piece is one of quiet. nat

OF an education and an association with
gentlemen. Although in love with the
heroine, he stiles the feeling that tugs
at his heart, caused by the woman he

OF his rival, forces him 30 fight. From
the result of the quarrel both are com

to ask the pardon of his sue

a delightful impersOnation of the title
role. He has already contributed to
the American stage number OF charac-
ter delineati0ns that have been charm

portrayal. The title role of this play is
SAID to present him with one of the

DRAMATIC DATA.

Following "a Kentucky Colonel" at
the Grand. is announced the engage
ment OF Charles l.. Davis in alvin
Joslyu." Mr.. Davis won both fame and
fortune in the imperSOnatiOn of this odd
comedy role. The fame he has retained.
and the fortune is now invested in the
Alvin theater, Pittsburg, one OF the most
paIatial plaYhOuSeS in America. BY re-
quest of the managers, Mr.. Davis has
arranged for a revival production of
his piece, which is promised to be more
complete in cast and scenic effect than
ever before. Recent Eastern engage
ments OF the production are reported TO
have been remarkably successful.
Evans and Hoey will appear in new
edition Of "a ParlOr Match' at the Met
rODOlitan opera house the entire week
beginning Sunday, Jan. p. Since last
seen here, two years ago, the play has
been reaTranged and a number OF new
characters introduced. IL is said that
HOey has better opportunity to display
his originality than ever, and is making
a Tremendous hit with his two new
songs, The Man That Broke the Bank
at Monte Carlo' and II Am Not the
Only one"
Much Of the amusement at the close
OF the QrSJ act OF " Inc Isle OF ClaIn-
pagne'' is furnished by the sorry aspect
of the horse used by Comedian Sea-
brooke as a climax. The comedian
yanks the bit to enliven the animal.
Last Tuesday night he yanked SO hard
that the modern R0sinante fell sprawl
ing on the stage. The chorus scattered,
the comedian flew to the steed ana
raised him TO his feet, and the curta II
fell Oh unusual laughter.
1t is perhaps safe to assert that the
forthcoming engagement of 'NiObe" at
the Metropolitan will prove in every
way the fashionable event Of the the
atrical season. There is nothing at all
comparable to ''Niobe" on the stage to-
day as legitimate laughter producer.
Its fun is wholesome, and leaves a good
taste in the mouth; It's dialogue is brill
liant, and its complications exceedingly
clever and funny. Nat Goodwin viii

motion to dismiss on the theory, as ne
regarded it. that it was merely dila-
tory motion. The court reserved decls-
