The chorus is composed of young and well trained voices, and to make every thing complete they bring their own or chestra, The repertoire to be given is, Wednesday Carmen" Thursday "Il Trovatore," Friday Faust" Saturday matinee Chimes of Normandy" and ol Saturday evening a grand double bill will be presented, the operas being "Lucia-di- -Lammermoor" and "Caval- leria Rusticana." The Boston Journal says:
 Blzets Carmen" was revived at the Castle Square last evening, Payne Clark was the Don Jose. The remaind- CT of the cast was much the same as has been heard in previous productions of this opera at the Castle,
 There is everything that is typical in Bizet's chief work. There is so much that is intensely interesting that you draw long, deep bPeaths of the "hot blooded' air that surrounds you, and say: This is Spain, and no doubt" The enlargement of the orchestra over previous hearings of this work at the Castle Square, gave a much more ade-
  pervades Bizet's orchestral colorature. This was intensified by their superior playing The chorus showed the re- suits of painstaking labor, and did most excellent work. Of the principals, MT. Clark may be credited with a most con- scientious effort. He was vocally ade- quate, and his acting very good.
 The Carmen of Miss Lane was de- lightful MT. Murray repeated his suc- cess as the Toreador. His song was twice encored.
 Mile. Diard thoroughly deserved the encore that followed her third act song. All in all, her Michaela was a splendid bit of work. The remainder of the cast was adequate.
 The scenery was a delight to the eye. There was an unusually large audience present.
 The prices will be at night: Orches- tra, S1.00 orchestra circle, 75c. 50c; dress circle, ,75c; balcony, 50c, Matinee prices, Orchestra, 75c; orchestra circle, soc; dress circle soc; balcony, 25c.

 of Arrest By Suicide

She was arrested Saturday afternoon with Ellen O'Brien, Jeremiah Wallace and John Tracey. The quartet had been drinking together and had become somewhat intoxicated when Tracey charged the Smith woman with stealing money from Wallace. He complained to Policemen Hackett and McQueeney, who sent Wallace and the two women to headquarters.
 Early in the evening Captain Brewer and Signal Officer Began went into the Women's department to see if they could get the money alleged to have been stolen by the Smith woman from Wallace. As they opened the door the two officers heard peculiar noise In the Women's department and on enter ing they saw the Smith woman hang ing from cellar door with her feet just touching the floor. They at once cut her down and found that she had torn her handkerchief into strips and used these strips tied together to hang herself The O'Brien woman was too drunk to make any outcry. The Smith woman told the officers that she could not bear the disgrace of her arrest. She was placed in a straight jacket for the night to prevent her carrying out her intentions A sister of the would-be suicide called at the station later in the evening and said that her name was Kennedy not Smith, that she lives on Columbus avenue, is married and has child seven months old. She has never been arrested before.

STORY OF THE REFORMATION.
The Initial Entertainment Tonight at
 the Hyperion,

The Initial Entertainment Tonight at the Hyperion. The extensive preparations are com pleted and the participants in the diff
 ferent scenes, taken from the life of
 the great reformer, are now familiar
 with their respective parts, The final
 rehearsal was held Saturday night in the Insurance building and taking the rehearsal as a criterion an excellent entertainment Is in store. The rehear- sals show that the stage groupings, the
 tasteful colors and bright costumes will present a most attractive picture. The choral singing of Luther's battle hymn,
 The Marseillaise of the Reformation,
 will form grand closing to this great historical production. The story Is fur
 ther elucidated by a scholarly lecture
 by Mrs. H. 10. Monroe, a woman of rare intelligence and culture. The lecture Is illustrated by the very best stereopticon views of the places, persons and things | contemporary with the reformation time.
 The nun scene is very impressive. The nuns sing as the Abbess is bless ing them.
 'If thou but suffer God to guide thee
 And hope in Him through all thy ways,
 He'll give thee strength whateer betide thee
 | And bear thee through the evil days Who trusts in Gods unchanging love Builds on the Rock that cannot move" l The other music in this scene Is very appropriate and the ladies in the scene
 render it we'll
 | Luther's trial scene, which is the cen
 tral scene of the evening brings the
 character of the great reformer out in
 its true light. Robert Southey while poet laureate of England, said: "Bless-
 ed be the day of Martin Luther's birth.
 It should be a festival second only to | that of the nativity of Jesus Christ" | The subject of Luther's life work is
 of interest to all classes, and this en-
 tertainment which presents the subject
 in such pleasing manner should ap- | peal to the entire community. | Special mention is called to the fact
 that the entertainment, as advertised,
 will begin promptly at o'clock.

 While Playing in Half Finished
 Building.
 Nellie Loughery, a five-year- child of 181 Poplar street, was instantly kill ed Saturday afternoon by falling from the second floor of a building in course of construction near her home to a pile of brick in the cellar. The little girl had been playing about the partly fin ished house and finally climbed the stairs to the second story where the flooring was just being put down. She was picking up some wood when she fell through an opening between the cross pieces. The worlsznen hastened to the cellar and there found the child dead. Dr. Roberts of Grand avenue was called and found that the neck of the unfortunate child was broken.
 The mother, Mrs. Patrick Loughery, was informed of the accident and over come with grief hastened to the scene of it's occurrence, where she knelt sob- hing over the body of her little girl. After the body had been viewed by Medical Examiner White it was re- moved to the home of the parents.
 It ie said that the carpenters at work on the new building have frequently driven the children out of it fearing some accident, but when Saturday s accident occurred. it was late in the afternoon and many of the workmen had gone and those who remained were busy on the first floor and the first they knew of the child's presence was when they saw her falling.

acce to conduct the fair. The race ring
was measured yesterday ard was found
to be fifty feet wide on what is now the
home stretch. The other parts OF the
track can be enlarged without any mater
ial loss Of space for other things. The
fact that Griswold park is ful. Of shade
and is so close to the city is another fea-
ture in its favor. A great many may OBJ
ject to the new Dlar on account Of the
track being only a half-mile in circum-
ference, but that will be overruled be-
cause the spectators will have an oppor-
tunity Of seeing the horses go past she
stand three times instead Of twice, as
would be the case on a mile track.
In order that the fair association may
get possession of Griswold park from the
county commissioners 1t will be necessary
to get majority Of the voters to sign
petition asking the commissioners TO ac-
cept the park in lieu Of the money due
from the bank. This would seem to be
hcrcu,ean task, but there are members
who will assume the work with vi2oS
which will not fail.
There are a great many merchants in
the city who will double the amount they
have subscribed If the fair will be con-
Quoted in Griswold park. and there are
other citizens who will give literally
who will not subscribe anything if it goes
elsewhere. II is 20 be hoped that the pan
is carried to successful end.
