IN LADY OF LYONS
Central High School Seniors Will
Present 1t as the Annual
Class Play.

Lively interest is being taken by the
passive freshman and the naughty
senior alike in the senior class play
OF the high school, which will be given
FRIDAY evening, March 4.
1he play is attracting special atten-
ton at the hands of the students from
the fact that there is a doubt as to
the possibility of a junior-Senior rec6p-
ton this year. In case the reception
does not materialize the graduating
class play will be the brightest event
in the school year.
Excellent taste and judgment has
been exhibited by the committee of the
class of '9S, of which Miss Belle Butler
is the chairman, in the selection of the
play and the cast
Lytton's Lady of Lyons ever popu-
lar, is the piece upon which the com
mittee is working.
The stage settings will be the finest
arranged for any piece ever given in
the Central High school, and Will re-
Qulre untirlng efforts on the part of
the students to successfully arrange the
heavier details of the play, as the play
itself is a deviation from the usual
character of the plays attempted by tn.
preceding senior classes.
1t is said that the musical parts of
the play, of which there are several,
are being especially well-developed in
the rehearsals. These parts will be
augmented by the high school orche ira
under the direction of Irving McKen-
ney.
Rehearsals have been In progress for
six weeks past, under the direction
of Mrs Weirick. The cast gives I'M
usual promise of an exceptionally cor
rect Interpretation. The following is
the complete cast:
Pauline ...... ~ - Kate Rersee
Claude ........ - .. Bryan Dorr
Nine. Dischappelles ............ Louise West

With two or three exceptions the
entire cast have successfully appeared
in other class plays, such as Jacks
Thanksgiving and "a Proposal Under
Difficulties and several other school
productions.
The leading part of the poetical
Claude will be taken by Bryan Dorr,
who has achieved success in several
Of the plays just mentioned, and will
do full justice to the possibilities of his
part. In the ctwos last acts much Of Mr..

CHICAGO, Feb. 10. -The Grand
Trunk railroad today asked the Chi
cago-St. Paul lines to allow it to meet
the Canadian Pacific reduction in rates
to Pacific coast points in connection
with the rapidly increasing Klondlke
business.
A special meeting of the interested
lines will probably be held tomorrow.
Should the Canadian rates not be met
the result may be the loss of nearly
ell the New England traffic by the
American lines. Some officials profess
to believe it advisable to abandon the
business and confine attention to the
traffic from nearby territory.
Should the cut be met, it is consid-
cred probable the Canadian Pacific
will follow with another reduction.
Besides it's sensational cut in pas
senger rates to Pacific coast points the
Canadian Pacific has cut passenger
rates from New England points to st.
Paul by $3.50. It's new rates to the
Pacific coast points are blanket rates,
covering all New England and New
York points, so that the same rates
will apply from New York as from

Dressions, and he had refrained from
reading even a guide book; so as to
keep his mind free from prejudice, he
said:
There are lots of Yankees in this

with the studied nOnchalance of the
man who brides himself on being able
TO pump people without their suspect
ing it.
Yes, replied Miss Cayenne, demure-
