THE CHINOOK
VIII BE Given Before the Irish
American Club.

The members of the IrishEAmerican club
have secured The Chinook for Wednes-
day. April Is. They should have. a crowded
house. The Chinook is an illustrated mon
ologue presented by Miss Clara Louise
Thompson in such a unique form as to make
those present feel that they are looking at
drama presented by fun company of six
teen persons in place of q monoogue. Miss
Thompson changes her voice to suit persons
supposed to be speaking.~ having a different
voice for each of the speaking characters.
Not only are the scenes of the country de-
sCrihed and different cities shown, but also
the different persons connected with the plot
of the story, rooms of houses etc. The diff
ferent groups Of people as they are marshaled
jn the narrative are shown upon the canvas,
and by the use of some rarely fine dissolv
Ing views these groups melt into each other,
changing the composition and position of the
various groups Of persons; now sitting, now
standing now laughing and then at other
times showing countenanees filled with grief
and sorrow. Ii is impossible TO describe the
rapid changes and the almost perfection of
the pictures. So real are they that at times
one forgets the reader and the sounds of the
voices seem TO come from the persons ON the
canvas The conception of the whole affair
Is unique and it is we'll worked in the enter
taipment. and is ably and charmingly pre-
scented by Miss Thompson.

DELIGHTFUL AFFAIRS.
Such Are Prof. Charles sprague
Smiths Lectures

One of the attractive events of the coming
week will be the opening of the course of four
illustrated lectures, Tuesday night at the Peo-
pies church, by Prof. Charles Sprague Smith
or New York city, on the Artists of Barbi-
zon." These lectures were written under the
trees Of the forest of Fontainebleau, within a.
mornings walk of Barbizon. An artist of
Barbizon, son of an old friend of Millet, has
prepared for the course a unique series of
lantern slides, showing Barbizon as it was in
the time of the great artists, their homes,
studios, and favorite wood haunts the peas
ants at work in the fields, as Mfllet represent
ed them, and the nobler parts of the great
forests; the historic chateau and it's various
apartments, including those of Marie Antoin-
cite and Napoleon l.; the rooms where Pious
VII. was held prisoner, and the court where
Napoleon babe farewell to the old guard be-
fore departing for Elba; the picturesque viii
lagos on the forests border, and the master
pieces of these artists are also shown. Prof
Sprague Smith lived for three months last
summer in a Fontainebleau village, with the
peasants as his neighbors and friends. His
lectures are described as most delightful af-
fairs, and the audience rooms in Chicago were
too small to hold the interested throngs, who
wished to hear him. He comes to st. Paul
under the patronage of the st. Paul Monday
art class.

George Williams, the railway mail agent
who was so seriously injured in the collision
Df two passenger trains on the Great Northern
road near Meiby, Mimi, last September, has
fled a complaint in an action against the

receiver of the supreme sitting was issued
by Judge Otis the day before, and there being
no opposition yesterday to the relief prayed for

DIED OF EXTREME OLD AGE.
G. A. Combs. COIored Man, Lived
112 Years.

G. A. Combs, well known colored man,
and probably the most aged man in st. Paul.
died at his home Sibley street Friday night
at the extreme age of 112 years. Death re-
suited from old age. 1t is such an uncommon
thing for a human being to live to such an
age in these days that some may be disposed
to doubt that Combs was so old, but his
friends claim it can be shown beyond a doubt
that he was born in 1884.
Combs was native of Kentucky born Of
slave parents and he was private servant of
Gen. Zachary Taylor through the Mexican
war. He spent sixty years of his life as q
slave, but finally secured his liberty, entered
the service of the government and was sent
out to the frontier with several detachments
of government surveyors. Later on he took
up his residence at Jefferson City, Mo-. and
was transferred to st. Paul by the government
in 1868, bringing with him his family, a wife
and six children.
Later on he worked as a cook for a long
time, saved his money and purchased some
property on Sibley street for which he was
offered $4,000 in 1876 He refused to sell, and
built three residences upon it since, all Of
which he owned free from incumbrance at
the time of his death. Those who frequented
the union depot years ago will recall an old
darkey who conducted the bootblack stand
there. That was Combs. He ran the stand
for about fourteen years, and was one of the
most familiar figures around the depot.
Combs took much interest in matters per-
tanning to the advancement of his race He
was one of the founders of the Pilgrim Bap-
fist church, and was always considered a good
Christian man among his people. Two sons
and a daughter survive him. The funeral will
probably take place today from the Pilgrim
Baptist church.
