AFRICA AT THE ACADEMY.
George Thatcher and a Good Compan
Creates Much Laughter.

George Thatcher and a Good Company
Creates Much Laughter.
Although George Thatcher the ex.
minstrel man was billed as the star of
Africa" which was presented at the
Academy of Music last evening, he was
not the chief nor the best entertainer
of the company. Such we'll known
performers as John A. Coleman, the
trans Atlantic dancer, John c. Rice,
and Charles Hopper were fully as en- i
tertaining as the former burnt corked
bangor of tambourins.
Indeed, it was owing to Mr.. Thatch-
er's persistent efforts to spring long
winded stories and jokes of another
age than this that the performance
had to be cut when the third act
arrived considerably behind scheduled
time. There was plenty of fun so long
as MIR. Thatcher refrRlned from telling
stories. Once he got started his
comrades in Africa" settled back
with well-you're-puttin' '-up-the-
money and. nd.have-a-right-to expression
on their couutenanees.
The company that surrounded
| ludlCueE was Odpdblo OA CTedlluB EIeaJ
fun, and all performed their duties in
good style whenever the star gave them
chance. John A. Coleman was heart
lily greeted when he made his appear
ance, and in the role of young college
graduate with mania for exploration
he did some right good acting. His
dancing and character impersonations
were received with great approval by
the audience. John c. Rice and his
wife Sallie Cohen, assisted very ma
terially in the fun making.
One Of the hits Of the show was made
by E. G. Dobson, quite handsome
fellow by the way, but who, when
made up for the part of professor"
Mike Milligan, Harvard instructor
in the manly art was about as ugly
and tough looking man as one could
find after a six months search among
the sporting fraternity.
There is nothing in particular about
africa" so far as regards plot. 1t
might just as well been called Hawaii,
or Zanzibar or Minooka. There is
plenty of fun, however, and this doubt
less makes an excellent substitute for a
plot

SICK AND DESPONDENT.
George Rago Tried His Best to
Commit. Suicide.

A young barber named George Rago,
who lives at 1888 Ellis street, made,a as de-
termined an effort to end his life Oh Thurs
day night as it was possible for man to
do who. was bent on shutting off this
mortal COIL" Rago did not believe in
dying at home, so he went to the Mirabeau
House, on the corner of Ellis and Leaven-
worth streets. and hired room. His mind
was made up to commit suicide, as was
evidenced by a letter which. he left ad-
dressed to his friend, Mr.. Hurley.
He retired to his room early in the even
ing. and that was all the hotel people knew
of him until yesterday morning when the
housekeeper, who occupies room adjoin-
ing RSgos, detected smell of gas in the
atmosphere. The odor was traced to
Rago's room, and as the door was locked.
one Of the poriers climbed in through the
tTansom. Rago was found lying in the
bed with the end of rubber tube in his
mouth, The other end was attached to
the gas Jet and it was turned on.
Rago was at once sent out to the Re-
ceiving 81 ospital and the proper remedies
were applied. He rallied and was finally
pronounced out of danger. His escape
from death IS marvellous considering the
amount of gas which must have been
absorbed into his system.
In the room. was found a letter which
Raeo had written detailing how he wished
certain personal property disposed Of. II
