"a Night In New York"

N, lie McHenry, jolly Nellie McHenry
as everyone calls her, will be at the opera
house next Tuesday evening in her new
play, "a Night in New York" The play
Itself is satire on the French ball, or per-
haps better series of complications that
hirge on the French ball, to which two en-
gagged couples go, unknown to each other.
The piece itself is by H .Grattan Donnelly
Miss McHenry, IS Mile. Henrietta, a
former vaudeville queen, appears as foot
light tavorite, French maid and coun-
try girl Her husband, John Webster,
appears as Willoughby Still. He is one Of
the gcody- goody sort Of young men in the
first act but is transformed to young man
about town with startling swittness.
But, Of course, everyone goes to see
Nellie McHenry herself. She amuses one,
cheers one up SO that one enjoys an even
ing watching her. The first scene, the re-
ception room in a hotel, is a very hand
some one. The second represents the
foyer of the Madison Square Garden, where
the French ball is in progress, and it is
here that the specially performances are
given, including number of dances by
half doz=n pretty and handsomely cos
tuned girls. The third scene is an apart
ment in the Navarro fats.

people about town to write for us and in
every case they have promised to do some
thing Tor us during the winter. This does
diminished but that the standard of the
Oracle has advanced.
In the opinion of the writer the policy of
clipping should be followed with discre-
ton; creditable though perhaps inferior
article from enc with whom the students
and friends Of the school are acquainted
will do more to poprlsrze the Oracle than
columns clipped from literary and scientific
magazines. The high school has large
and worthy constituency; its graduates are
scattered far and near, and with proper
management on the part of the editors no
doubt contributions of general intere ST
could be obtained for every issue. The
promised articles by men about town, will
we predict, prove commendafle feature.
Then, too, the editorial boards of the
past, judging from the kind of paper issued
have not worn themselves out with hard
labor. The local and alumni departments
could be extended and made of much
more interest; in fact, these departments
are probably second to none, SO far as the
circulation and success of the publication
is concerned, A little hustling on the
part of the local and alumni editors ougb,
to make each OF these departments at leas,
two columns in length for every issue.
An increased amount Of advertising is
noticeable, and this speaks well for tn
enterprise Of the business manager and
augurs prosperous year for the Oracle.

The High School Oracle.

No l of Volume vi of the high school
Oracle has been mailed to subscribers. This
is the first issue of the school year and the
initial effort of the new board of editors.
1t is in every way an excellent number,
probably the best that has been issued for
several moons. The editorial page is
bright and attractive, and the departments
are we'll balanced and filled with matter in
teresting to both student and alumni.
Among the contributors are Charles E..
White, c. H. Osgoo1 and Rodney W.
Roundy.
An editorial states what the policy of
the management will be for the coming
year:
The editors, heretofore, were not in
clined to return any contribution handed
in BY anyone, for fear OF hurting their feel
ings or offending them, and as a result
many articles were printed which were not
entirely satisfactory. In order to do away
with this practice of publishing uninterest-
ing matter, the Oracle will begin this year
by rejecting unsatisfactory contributions,
and inserting in their place scientific and
literary articles taken from various papers
and periodicals, which couis. we hope will
make the Oracle interesting to all of our
readers, whether they know the members
of the school or not.
We have also asked several prominent
