The box Office of the Metropolitan
Theater is now open for reservation
of seats for the Lost, Strayed or
Stolen engagement. The company ap-
pears here Monday night, bringing car
loads of scenery and forty or nfty
people for the stage, with many OF
their fine low comedians and good
singers. The female chorus and lead
ing women are handsome and sing WeH,
according to all accounts. The Denver
Tribune" says this comic opera ana
farce comedy was a complete surprise
in it's excellence, fun and music 1t
adds: 1t was the unexpected tnat
happened. The auditors anticipated
the usual thing that comes here tagged
with run'-cheap buriesque, peroxide
persons in tights and inhuman freaks
with 'specialties' Instead they got
the nearest approach to genuine op-
era comique seen in long time-clevef
comedians, a fresh-voiced and attrac-
tive chorus and no tights, but skirts.
They found the humor clean and at
tractive, the situations really droll and
the music pretty and dainty. The
story of Lost, Strayed or Stolen Is all
about baby-a Iusty son Of Partisan
florist, who gets mislaid in a park on
the day it was to have been christened.
and accordingly sends his distracted
father all over Paris in a hunt for the
offspring. The distracted father. ac-
companied by three equally distracted
godfathers meets with adventure in
the barracks of a regiment, in the
boudoir of prima donna, and finally
in the gardens of the Luxembourg. All
that happens in the interim could not
be told here. Lost, Strayed or Stolen
is like the travelling show of our boy
hood days-it must be seen to be APP
preciated." Similar complimentary
mention is made by all the Eastern and
Western press and the papers of San
Francisco. From all which it is fair
to assume that the entertainment will
be all that is promised.

A test of the question whether GER
tificate of probable cause should be
granted on an appeal from an
order after judgment in cap
ital case, and all appeals in cap
ital cases be denied, may be made by
taking hypothetical case the reverse
Of that Of Durrant's. Let it be supposed
that one has been convicted and SEN
fenced to death whom the community
believes to be guiltless, a defendant
whose execution the great body or the
people would hold TO be judicial murder.
In such a case would there be execra-
tion of the law that permits such a de-
fendant to appeal even from an order
after judgment backed by a certificate of
probable cause? Would not such a law
be hailed then as a merciful and wise
provision, protecting the innocent and
staying the hangmans hand to the
latest possible moment that possibly
the innocence of the defendant might be
legally established?

They have just put into full force in
the hitching of teams upon the prin-
cipal business streets Of that city. That
it should have given rise to much pro-
testing and growing is not surpris-
ing. But such rules prevail in most
large cities, and they ought to be en-
forced in all cities of considerable size
for many and obvious reasons. Hitch
ing of teams should be confined to the
side streets. The main business thor
oughfareS should not be blocked by
hitched teams. The practice invites
accidents, is an obstacle to free pas
sage, and entails unnecessary fncon-
venience upon business men, who wish

PLEASANT SIGHT.
The Alma Public kindergarten.

ne anna fuDllC NlnOeTRdTten,
The reporter called at the Kindergar
ten room in the old M. +. church last
Monday morning and was very much
pleased with the sight which greeted
his eyes. The room is large and com
modious, light and airy, thus combining
comfort and convenience in remarkable
degree. Pictures and woodcuts OF
scenes simple enough for the children
to interpret and appreciate, decorate the
walls in all parts of the room. There is
however, one serious drawback to the
room, viz, the echo. This is so bad that
both the teachers and pupils are nearly
deaf by the end of each session and some
one, whose duty it is, should see to 1t
that this defect is remedied at once.
The enrolment had reached thirty-two
on last Monday and these children are
placed in classes according TO their
knowledge of form, color, etc and seated
at three different sets of tables. Last
week the children studied the home as a
unit, they were shown bird s nest and
this they called the home of the bird, and
when shown shells they said these were
the homes of certain animals. Then
they went to the sand table and built
mounds to represent the bee hiye and
ant-hill At Miss Blanchard's s table the
little ones were each outlining tree
with splints. At Miss Potter's table the
children were building fruit cellars.
Miss Sweetland's happy throng were
outlining little carts, such as children
use TO bring in wood with. In this way
the little ones are taught the necessity
of preparation for winter and the place
each member of the family has in this
work. In another part of the room Mrs.
Plum was testing the knowledge of
color of three little girls who had just
enrolled, to determine their proper class
ification. In the center of the circle

ing exercises is table and on this are
birds nests, shells, fruits, leaves OF
different kinds, etc. The children have
something to say about each one of these.
When in their eagerness and mirth the
children become too noisy, Mrs. Plum
restores quiet by sounding few chords
On the piano. Both teachers and pupils
seemed to enjoy the work intensely, anC
who can tell what a powerful influence
for good this sort of training will have
