DAVIS BENEFIT AT LYCEUM.
Good-Sized Audience Entertained
with n Fine Programme.


The testimonial benefit given TO
George Il. Davis last night in the Ly-
ceum brought out a good-sized audi
ence. The benefit was greater sue
cess, financially, however, than the
size of the house would indicate, for
many tickets sold were not represented
in the house last night.
Seldom has programme of such
genuine merit been listened to in this
city as that which was given last night.
All of the members were rapturously
encored. Bauer's orchestra opened the
entertainment with an overture, the
Randall sisters, and years respect
lively, sang and danced so agreeably
that the audience insisted on having
them appear again. The vocalists were
Mrs. Florence Schilling, John T. Wat
kins and Thomas Beynon, all of whom
were in fine voice. Reeve Jones gave
a piano solo and +. Nanderveken was
heard in violin selections. Thomas
Jordan recited a scene from DIR. Jekyl

and Charles j. Randall made a de-
cided hit as the Yankee farmer. George
Carr gave several banjo selections, ac-
companed by his wife on the piano.

NEW TRIAL REFUSED.
Won storch. III ectment Case vii, Not
BE Tried Again Here.

In an elaborate opinion covering six
teen typewriter pages, Judge Arch
bald yesterday refused a new trial in
the celebrated Won Storch ejectment
case, which was decided last summer
in favor of the plaintiff, William Won
Storch and against the defendant,
burlington S. Won Storth.
It was suit for valuable property
in Providence. The plaintiff was ~
brother of the defendants father. Fer
dinand Won Storch, the original owner
of the land in dispute. The uncle claim
ed the property on the strength of a
purchase from Attorney Henry NJ.
Fuller, who bought the property at
sheriff's sale. The defendant claimed
that Fuller held the property in trust
for Ferdinand and when bought 1t in
at sheriffs sale he did SO as attor-
ney for the estate. Being trustee he
could not profit at the expense of his
trust, and consequently, it was con-
tended, he could not acquire and sell
the property of which he was trustee.
The defendant has lived on the
premises for upwards Of thirty years
and contended that he was put in pos
| session of it by his father. The plain
tiff alleged that the nephew occupied
| the premises merely by his sufferance.
In beginning his opinion Judge Arch
bald says: MY sympathy-I must
confess--was with the defendant; he
was fighting for his home, which al
ways appeals to one, and it is my i'm
| preston that the same feeling would
very likely move the jury strongly in
| his favor; that it did not is proof that
| the verdict which they have rendered
| was their firm and unbiased judgment,
| and it must be allowed to stand unless
| some substantial error has been COM
| mitted in reaching it."
| Then he goes on at length to show
that no substantial error had been
| committed in the trial

one of the results of the destruction
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
tion building by fire last week-and a
fact which has escaped sufficient notice
was the suspension of the John Ray
mond institute conducted in the build
ing, with its 275 or more pupils, under
score of teachers. These pupils are
of class of young men to whom the
loss of anything means much.
In Albright Memorial hall last night
a meeting was held at the call of Pro-
fessor w. II. Buell., president Of the
faculty, which shows a remarkable
feeling of pupils and faculty, one for
the other, and all for the association
with which they suffered losses
Before the general meeting of pupils
and faculty the teachers assembled and
discussed the matter of continuing
through the present term, seven weeks
of which remain. BY personal sacrifices
on the part Of the teachers President
Buell. was able to inform the pupils
at the meeting afterward that the
school, although dissipated in its effect,
would continue throughout the seven
weeks period. He said that no one par
! ticular place could be secured to carry
on the work, hut the several classes
will be taught at the same periods as
before in almost as many places in the
city as there are classes.
A PRACTICAL SCHOOL.
This novel departure in school con-
Quoting has probably been seldom at
tempted anywhere. The Raymond In
stitute, it must be understood, is more
practical than the average or ordinary
school. Trades are taught and this can
not be done by theory alone The work
must be demonstrated. Hence a meet
! ing in one place is at once seen to be
| impracticable.
