Gilbert Hanged.

Boston, Feb. 21.--Angus D. Gilbert, twenty-seven years old, a native of Nova Scotia, was hanged in Charles street jail at 10:4O o'clock this morn ing for the murder of Alice, the eight year-old daughter of George W. Ster- ling.
 The crime for which Gilbert was con- victed was one of the most brutal ever committed in Massachusetts. He as- saulted and then murdered the child
 The girl disappeared from her home very mysteriously on April 10, 1895.
 A thorough search of the surrounding country was made, in which a great crowd assisted, and Gilbert was one of the most assiduous in looking for the little girl.
 During the police search over 1000 fouses were visited. One woman was found who had seen the child with Gil bert at about o'clock on the day she disappeared.
 It was hard for any to believe that Gilbert had any connection with the case. He had been assistant ticket agent at the little suburban station of Atlantic and had always had an eX- cellent reputation.
 The detectives finally learned that the young man for years had been lead ing practically double life. He lived with a family about half mile from the station.
 A search of this place revealed the body of the girl buried in the basement of the stable attached.
 The police finally got a partial con fession from Gilbert. He said that while going down into the cellar he had stumbled over the dead body. He said that he became frightened for fear that he might be accused of the murder and had buried the multilated remains. For three whole days after doing this Gil- bert went about his work as usual. He was one of the foremost in the search for the girl and being a close friend of the family, was often in con sultation with the child's father and mother in regard to the case.
 Gilbert's execution was the first in Boston for nearly twenty years. The last man before him to be hanged was Thomas w. Piper on May 26, 1876
 Piper enticed five-year-old Mabel Young into the belfry of a church on Sunday, and, after assaulting her, murdered her with cricket bat.

RoARDMAN SCHOOL.

Washington's birthday was eelebrat- ed with much enthusiasm at the Boardman school yesterday morning, the first hour being given to it. s
 The program was as follows: After some remarks by the principal and reading of extracts from WashinSton's writings, a quartet from the Boardman Glee club sang "The Star Spangled Banner" the whole school rising ana joining in the chorus, It was most in teresting. Anna Willis Lines followed with a splendidly executed piano solo and encore; this in turn by song by the Glee club, a piano solo by A. w. Sperry, also encored; reading or Barbara Freitchie," by Miss Emma Crocker; a double duet by members of the club; another fine piano solo by Mrs. Lines, delightfully."- sung solo by Miss Dora Stroud reading from Low els Under the Old Elm" by Miss All ice Bassett; another wildly applauded song by MT Sperry; an address by Superintendent Kendall, and finally "The Red, White and Blue by the club and school. The thanks of the school were given to Mrs. Lines and MT. Sperry for contributing so much to the success of the exercises It is safe to say neither ever had a more appre- ciative audience. MT. kendall's re- marks were listened to intently and ap- plauded to the echo. The Boardman Glee club has number of remarkably fine voices in it, and under the leader ship of Isaac Smith is proving a feat ure of the school.

 One of the greatest honors that have ever been bestowed upon an actress was accorded Mile, Rhea at the Uni versity of Michigan at Ann Arbor, when before an audience of 2,OOO students and their friends, she delivered a lecture on Napoleon, A most flattering tribute to the stage, and to Mile. Rhea personally was the introductory address delivered by Mrs. Angell, the wife of the president of the university. After the closing sentence of Mile. Rheas lecture, 1T would rather have been Josephine, wife of Napoleon, beloved and forsaken, than the greatest woman in the universe" the vast building shook with thunders of applause and the tremendous shouts of the students as they gave her the college yell, Hundreds of ladies came upon the platform to shake hands with Mile. Rhea. The charming Rhea most graciously acknowledged the honor

This opera has just closed most successful season of 100 nights at the Broadway theater, New York city. The entire English company which has been sent over by MT. George Edwards, the Lyric theater manager, will be seen here. The plot turns on the mania of the governor of Elsinore for practical joll- ing. It becomes with him more than a pastime, a passion of life. His daugh- ters enter with him into the spirit of the fun, and their suitors contribute un- consciously to the governors deviltry. The misrule prevailing in Elsinore in consequence is reported to the regent of Denmark. who in disguise visits Elsi- nore. The governor finding the regent | in disguise of strolling player and l failing to recognize him, proposes to | him to array himself in gorgeous ap- T to hn | The regent yields. The governor is non plussed when he sees the populace do- | ing homage to what he supposes to be the sham regent. An episode of the opera is the love scene between the disguised regent and a street flower girl. | The company appearing at the Hype-
 rion in His Excellency" includes the best performers selected from among
 George Edwards London company. Sale of seats now open.
