note. It happened, or was ordained of lucky stars that at the precise moment of the birth MT. Porterie was startled by terrific thump at an outer door. The carrier, with that vigor character istic of the entire staff, from the devil up, had thrown the morning REPUBLI- CAN, rolled up and twisted as carriers only know how to do it. against the door. Mir. Porterie does not pretend to establish connection between the de- livery of THE REPUBLICAN and the deliv- cry of the twelve-pound boy, though he regards the latter as happy clrcum- stance and the former as good omen. If that boy does not become president there's nothing in signs.

HIGH SCHOOL EXERCISES.
Interesting Rhetorical Entertain
 ment Today.

interesting RhetOrICal Entertain =
 ment Today.
 Rhetorical exercises will take place at the high school today under a plan recently adopted by which the pupils of the high school divided into two sections will alternate on the first and third Fridays of each month. Exer- cises by the other grades will take place on the first Friday afternoon of each month.
 A very elaborate and excellent pro- gram has been prepared for today, which on account of it's length is ne- cessarily omitted for want of space. The selections have been carefully chosen from wide range. There is a pleasing absence of those old stock se- lections which figure 50 prominently in many entertainments of this character.
 The parents and friends of the pupils will be amply paid for attending today's exercises and at the same time they will contribute to the encouragement of the pupils and at the same time give deserved recognition to the efforts of the principal, Prof. Wollam.

Goldberg Bros. Challenge.

Goldberg Bros. and clerks offer a challenge to the clerks of any store in Phoenix for a base ball or foot ball game, an admission fee to be charged and the proceeds to be turned in to the exhibit fund of the Salt River valley for the midwinter fair. This would. no doubt, be good scheme for raising money. and every man interested in the valley would buy good number of tickets. It is over-evident that small subscriptions will be necessary and this plan seems feasible.

HIGH ROLLERS.
The 1mniitable George Wilson in
His New Speciality.

The Monte Carlo company appeared at
the Grand Opera house laSl night before
an audience that filled every seat and
overlooked into all the spaces available
Tor standing rom. The performance
was a Farce, just what it was adver-
tiSed TO be. The re is but one standard by
which TO judge of such a performance:
its reception and the effect upon the
audience. Judged thus the performance
OF last night was more than success. it
was a brilliant success. II was a piece
born for broad smiles created to draw
forth pealS of laughter. aud ii answered
the END OF lis creatiOC. Plot
there was none. Dramatic ac-
ton was not seriously attempt
ed: Comedy Farce 1t way. and as such it
held the crowded house to the very last
line OF the closing chapter. despite the
clOSeneSS OF the evening. George Wilson
was the sun Of the piece. around which
the lesser lights revOlved. sUme of them
with no little brightness of their own.
There is but one George Wilson. and he
was seen in all his wonderful variety
last night, The show itself was a "yari-
ETY." high class variety, aboundirg in
situations and replete with fun The
man who never laughs was euchered out
OF his mOrOSeneSS for once. and was no
uouUG DeIJeT LOT Inc experience. Wilson
would draw a smile on any face upon
which a mustared plaster will draw a
blister. His speciality is burnt cork. but
there were glimpSeS of other powers
IN last nights acting that
foreshadOw distinction 10 more legit-
innate come y when he applies himself to
its Interpretation. The setting of the
piece was superb. The reception accord
ed TO wilson was an ovation. His support
was good. The house was as receptive
and enthusiastic as the most exacting
could demand.
Monte Carlo is a two act play. the
first representing the gambling salon, the
other the concert hall. The second act
was minstrel performance of an utterly
novel character. Wilson. as the star ar.
tlst OF this combination. was in all his
glory. His unapproachable manner was
all upon him. His voice never was in
better tone. His dialect, his funny bust
ness, his facial expression, his SINGING.
his darkey manners his improvisatioDs
were irreSiSta bic. But all the hooors
were not his. There were some good
voices 10 the company, notably those of
Arthur Eaton, whose 'SIeep BABY.
Sleep was wonderfully sweet perform
ance; Miss MelrOSe. also. whose Two
Little Girls in Blue" was happily exc
cuted. This second act was real treat
and was well received, though not ALWAYS
with the discrimination that some of the
work deserved. Monte Carlo is ted
this evening. Wilson will not forget
his San Antonio reception, nor will the
theater goeTS of this city be very ant 10
forget the inimitable George.

n. S. Wood is without doubt one
of the most popular young actors
of today, a position to which he
has attained by years of persistent
hard work, and the presentation to
the theatre-going public of a GER
tain line of melO-dramas which, in
these days find favor with a large
number of people. For years Mr..
Wood was known as the boy actor,
in the well known plays of "Jack
Sheppard" "The Boy Detective"
"Jack Harkaway," and others.
Outgrowi2g these parts he has
developed into talented exponent
of heroes of melOdramas. Much of
his success of late years has been
acquired by the attention he has
given to the details of production,
and the splendid manner in which
he has mounted his plays. Few
indeed are the travelling attractions
particularly of the melodramatic
order, that are better or as we'll
equipped as Mr.. Woods, for he
usues none OF the scenery belonging
to the theatre where he appears,
every bit of it being his own. His
admirers have come to know and
appreciate this fact, and the result
is that Mr.. Woods business is al
ways big and often phenomenal.
His supporting company is always
a large and capable one, so
that altogether the mere announce
ment of Mr.. Woods appearance is
a guarantee that all who attend his
performance will receive a full re-
turn for what they expend. Grand
