The Highwayman.

The presentation of the comic opera
"The Highwayman" last evening at
the Auditorium was just about the best
thing in its line ever given in Marietta.
The company is big one a strong
one, and one of quality. The voices
are good, the girls are pretty and the
costuming is splendid.
Smith, the .-berettist, has done a
good job in writing the plot and its
by-plays, and DeKoven has matched
him well with the music. The opera
is very lively in its general makeup;
and is highly entertaining from start
to finish.
Foxy Quiller" is one of the best and
newest things in comedy character
that has happened in long time, and
around his genial astute self revolves a
deal of fun.
The leading parts were all taken by
people who deserve to lead, for their
cnarms and merits are a plenty

Settled Out Of Court.

The case against Howard Waller, OIL
liver Smith and George Armstrong,
who wer arrested on complaint filed in
Mayors court by William Martina,
charging them with assault was "set-
lied out of court in rather an odd
way, Saturday morning.
Martina filed complaint several days
ago, alleging that the men assaulted
him at the Rainbow ferry. The case
was set for hearing Saturday morn
ing, but when the time came for the
hearing the Mayor was informed that
the case had been settled without trial.
1t appears that Martina had agreed
to accept So to settle the case provid-
ing the defendants pay costs, but was
afraid to take the IS from the men for
fear it would cause him trouble. One
of the defendants then passed the So
to Marshal Dye, who gave it to Marti-
ma. Waller, Smith and Armstrong
paid the costs, amounting to $21, and
the Mayor marked the case Settled cut
of court"

DR.. Gear VIII Teach.

The School Board held a meeting at
IT. Willlss ONCE last evening for the
purpose of considering the resignation
OF Prof Smith and appointing his sue
cessor as Principal of the High School
President Andrews formally stated
that the resignation of Mr.. Smith had
been received and 1t was of form
that rendered it imperative Upon rao-
tlon the resignation was accepted.
The matter of choosing his successor
was discussed at some length, and
Prof. Williams, who had just returned
from a Teachers meeting at Pomeroy,
gave many valuable sugge5tions as to
different men fer the place. While in
Pomeroy he noted the records and
qualifications cf number of teachers
whom the Board has in view in the Sc
lection of the new principal. 1t is not
good policy o reveal the names of
tnese gentlemen at present. However,
the members of the Board already
have in view a gentleman whose rec
ord and qualifications as a teacher and
disciplinaran are beyond question and
1t is probable that he will>be chosen.
Beginning Tuesday, DR.. Gear will
temporarily assume the duties of
principal, to act in that capacity until
the end of the fall term. BY that time
the Board will have chosen Mr..
Smiths successor, who will begin his
work with the winter term
Mr.. Smith has consented to continue
in charge until Tuesday.
A number OF other changes were dis
cussed by the Board, but as no definite
action was taken they will not be
made public as yet.
