Commencing Sunday night and con-
with the customary matinees, the
Peoples theatre offer one of the most
| attractive melo-dl amas ever presented,
"The Span of Life" The story tells of
the persecution of a young woman and
her lover by the woman's cousin, who
desires to get possession OF her fortune.
The action of the play takes place in
England and is continued in the gold
and diamond fields of Africa, which
gives opportunity for great scenic
effects and most startling action.
Nv
This friday night "The Fatal
Card" will receive its initial perform
ance in Toledo, This excellent melo-
drama has enjoyed remarkable run
in New York, Boston and Chicago.
The play is full of startling clmaxes
and melodramatic scenes and is acted
by one of Mr.. Charles Frohman's best
companies. That of itself should be a
sufficient warrant of the excellence OF
the acting. The company is composed
of many actors who were in the original
American company and by that most
interesting performance may be ex-
pected. There will be the usual
matinee ON Saturday.

A traveller in Rome relates that he
saw "Charley's Aunt" in the eternal
city, its Italian title, LA Zio de Carlo"
sounding very odd. The aunt was
done by Signor Loigheb and was as
equisitely funny in Italian AS it is in
English. The original American com
pany that presented this ridiculous
farce upwards of 500 nights in New
York will be seen at the Valentine the
first three nights of next week with
the usual Wednesday matinee.

The matter of lighting the new
court house is MS yet unsettled. The
Commission haYe Ueen considering pro-
posas for putting in plant for light
ing the building aud operating the
elevator, but Bowling Green, with her
customary grasping nature, wants the
power furnished by private company
who offer to furnish the current
at price which is greatly
in excess of that furnished in Toledo.
AT a recent meeting Commissioner
Brand and E. Beverstoci were ap-
pointed il committee 10 investigate.
John Ault of the Commission requested
that this company make IL proposal 10
furnish power for elevator and lights at
a rate per annum, instead of giving a
rate for ii certain number of volts, but
the company has failed TO do so. 1t is
claimed by those who are acquainted
with the rates, that the county can put
il its own plant and operate it at a
figure much lower than that offered by
the Bowling Green company.

The grasping disposition of some of
Bowling Green's citizens precludes all
possibility Of their being truthful or
doing business in an honorable manner
whenever the interests of their village
is at stake. a gentleman now living
in Perrysburg was approaced by citi-
zens of Bowling Green, having Tor
his object desire TO sell some prop
erty, also to bring TO their village a
worthy family TO become permanent
residents, and as an argument to get
him TO leave Perrysburg they stated
that our village was very unhealthy
and that there had been 81 cases of ty-
phOid fever here during the past six
months and II cases week before last.
Any person who is acquainted with
the larts knows that such statements
are absolute falsehoods, and to prove
them false it is only necessary to state
that there have been but IA deaths in
Perrysburg during the past year, five of
which were caused by old age. During
1895 and up to the present date, there
have boen but SIX cases OF typhoid
fever, ONLY ONE of which proved
fatal. II Bowling Green people depend
upon such statements as these to build
up their town, they had better close up
shop and go out OF business

Favors ROping the Streets,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
do not believe The Star would add one
moments pain to the afflicted. l therefore
believe The Star Is laboring under great
mistake in advocating the. abolition of
ropes on the streets in cases of severe ILL
ness No one can certainly be SO selfish
as to object to the slight inconvenience Of
Griving half block out of the way to avoid
giving pain to those that are severely ILL.,
1t is not necessary to rope off more than
fifty feet on either side of the house
where one is sick. The ropes will also keep
out the huckster hawker and the street
organ. AS said by one of your cores
pcndents, tan bark will fill up the sewers
Signs on the streets will prevent nothing IT
speak from experience). Half of the
drivers will not see them; a large portion
cannot read. and nothing will suppress the
organ grinder and the huckster but to fence
them out. There is something due the az
nlcted and helpless, and those that are not
willing to SO slight inconvenience as Is ar
tually necessary had better emigra,e
therefore, put the responsibility on the at.
tending physician in connection with The
Meath department. and the privilege will
not be abused If they do their duty.

Our Public School Training.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1 have noticed that, during the recent
pleasantries between "Floret,' "Old Fogy,
ard Others one phase of the educational
question has been overlooked which is sig
'niffeant, to say the least. During d three
years intimate personal association with
pupils and faculty of the Central High
School l have observed some few facts, as
follows:
% That fully one-third of the pupils
coming from the grades are, to put 1t mild
ly, very poorly grounded in English, gram
mar, spelling and reading. In the English
work Of the first year really startling
lack Of knowledge Of even the commonest
radiments Of grammatical constructions is
shown. the spelling is VIGOROUSLY bad, and
In enc first-year section, to my knowledge,
only about six out of thirty-six were able
to read with intelligent expression.
(O That many Of the students show
plainly that they have not been trained to
hard study, or even to doing q moderate
amount of 1t. The faculty explain that at
least. three hours of home study a day is
required. and yet they will tell you that
very few of the students succeed in apply
Ing themselves for that length of time
90 That gradual but obvious tendency
has been shown for the last three years to-
ward matriculating first-year classes of a
very tender age. This has become so
marked OF late that the jokes of the senior
classes about the kindergarten DEPART
ment' have become quite pertinent. i am
sure that the faculty of the Central High
School Will bear me out in the above stale
ments, and after what has already been
said by "Pater Familias,' and others. thew
need no comments. Can "Floret" tell us
wherein lies the 1ault! c. II. S.
