Miss Marion Craig, in macbeth, y
at Concordia Opera house, Thursday
evening, was greeted with an audi
ence which must have been graf
flying to this young candidate for
histriOnic honors. The audience was
composed very largely Of young peo-
pie, the two colleges and our schools
being unusually well represented
Miss Craig, having formerly been a
school teacher, excited the curiosity
OF her sisters Of the profession, and
they also desired to encourage her in
her new sphere in life. Miss Craig
was dressed becomingly for the occa-
sion, and she came before the foot
lights III an easy, graceful style that
gave promise Of an evening of much
pleasure. Her voice showed signs OF
fine cultivation, and if at times she
could not be distinctly understood we
think it should be attributed to &
mands Of etiquette on such occasions,
and keep up a running fire of con
versation, much to the discontinue
OF those who, unfortunately, are
obliged to sit in close proximity to
them. Miss Craig's portrayal of
Lady Macbeth gave evidence of her
wOmanly instinct and fine cultiva-
ton. Many were disappointed that
she did not throw more life and spirit
into the character of Macbeth, as
she was neither lacking in physical
strength nor power of voice, but she
did not for moment permit herself
to indulge in to the slightest degree
any tendency toward ''ranting," a
species of defamation resorted to by
second and third-rate actors TO win
the applause of the goods" of the
''pit." While she may not at all
times have been distinctly heard in
the witch" scene, her conception of
the character has much in it to be
commended.

Not Good Policy.

IHE REPUBLICAN has not sought to
detract one iota from whatever credit
The Times may be entitled to in the
effort now making towards securing
an increase in the pay of the members
of our police force. THE REPUBLI-
CAN believes it a move in the right di-
rection, and reserves to itself the
right to advocate any good measure
of a public nature without asking the
permission of The Times. The
'services" Of The REPUBLICAN may
not be sufficiently "valuable' to do
much toward accomplishing the de-
sired result, but it believes it's influence
will compare favorably with The
Times in that direction. 1t has no
desire, and neither does it believe it
good policy, to indulge in a newspa-
per controversy, the tendency OF which
might be detrimental to the men, who
have much at stake, and who need
the united support of those who wish
to see Justice meted out to them. II
is pleasure, however, . to note that
all the papers Of the city are united
In this movement.

Frank kreSs' House Looted.

A bold robbery was perpetrated
in the Third ward Friday after
noon which has set the people
of that unusually quiet section OF
the city on the lookout for prowl-
ers. The residence of Frank Kress, 314
West Milwaukee street, was entered
while the family was away from home.
The thieves left striking proof Of a
thorough overhauling OF the house.
They effected an entrance through
a window, and carried away lew
elry, a gold watch and revolver.
Tramps had been seen during the af-
ternOOn, and but little attention was
paid to them. Later in the day a
young boy noticed gang of tramps
lowering around the railroad at the
foot of Washington street. They
were under the influence of liquor.
and when they were leaving he OBJ
served one of the party drop a pack
age, which he picked up, and on an
examination after reaching home it
was found to contain the articles be-
longing to Mr.. Kress, although he did
not learn till the following day whose
property it was.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.
second Lecture of the Course-Customs
or Our Forefathers--Samue Adams
The Boston Tea PARTY

! second Lecture of the Course-Customs
of Our refathers--Samuel Adams
The Boston Tea PARTY.
! AS was to be expected, a good au-
dlence was present to hear Professor
Sparks in the second lecture of his
! course at the high school building
Friday evening.
! The professor commenced his in
struction with an historical account of
the habits of our forefathers, who
brought with them the old Saxon Gus
toms. Town-meeting day was a
! great day for them. They all
| gathered together in the town meet
/ ing house and carried on legislation
IN a very effective, if simple, way
Provision had to be made for repair
Ing roads, new roof for a school or
meeting house, cleaning the town well,
! levying taxes, etc.
Samuel Adams seemed to strike the
! professor as one of the most UNIQUE
figures of that period, ''He was, :"
said the professor, 1.-The first man who
ever made use of the town meeting
system for political purpose It must
not be understood that he did this out
OF selfish motives. He was not a poll
tlclan in the sense that it is applied
10 the leading men of our day, but was
man thoroughly unselfsh, and with
out one object In view-the liberation
OF the people from British rule He
gave himself up to the cause to such
an extent that he was a total failure
IN every other business he undertook.
The New England town meeting,
committees of correspondence. assO-
Citations Of non-importation and sons
of liberty, and the peculiar methods
employed to compel compliance with
their wishes, We're very ingenious, and
had many pleasing features.
The incentive that led up to the
destruction Of a cargo of tea valued
at $9S, 900, in Boston harbor, and
which will go down through all ages
as one of the first acts in violation of
the kings authority, WAS alluded to
in highly interesting manner.
The treatment of the red-coats by
the people Of Boston, and the first
clash and loss of life on Boston COM
mon, and which finally led to the
compulsory withdrawal of the Brit
ish troops, were also graphically re-
counted.
1t seems the boycott is not of such
recent origin as many would suppose.
but was used very effectively IN COM
pelling merchants to desist from the
practice Of buying and offering for
sale goods of British manufacture.
. The cartoon, also, bore its part in
/ exciting the people against King
George and his laws.
The young people will certainly de-
rive much benefit from these lectures.
They become familiar with the lead
ing characters and events of the rev.
olutionary period, and take to their
studies with greater zeal and interest.
Business men have not much time for
reading outside of their newspapers,
but an evening spent with Professor
Sparks will revive in their memories
the interesting pages of early Ameri-
can history.

A PROMINENT CHTCAGOAN,
Death of Sir Andrew Peterson, For
merly of This CitY--History
of His Life


The many old friends of Andrew
Peterson, an early-day merchant OF
this city, will regret to learn of his
death, which occurred in Chicago last
Thursday evening. Mr.. Peterson will
be remembered here as a member OF
the firm of Maldaper & Peterson. He
occupied the residence on Fourth
street which subsequently became the
home of the late Hon. Daniel Hall.
The account of his passing away and
the story Of his life are best told in
the following article taken from The
Chicago TimeS-Herald:
''ln a brilliantly lighted club build
ing filed with gay guests enjoying an
evenings entertainment the life OF d
well-knOwn ChicagOan came to an end
last evening. Sir Andrew Peterson
lay dying in an upper chamber Of the
Union League club while the members
and their friends were assent bling for
the regular fortnightly social gather
ing. Of the preparations during the
day and OF the music and gayety of
the evening he knew nothing, for he
had been unconscious since morning.
Death took him while none was near
except the nurses who had been car
ing for him.
'WithOut family or near living rel
atives Mr. Peterson had made his
home for ten years or more at the
clubhouse. There he was accus-
toned to spend his afternoons chat
ting with his friends or playing
quiet game of pool in the billiard
room.
Though y years old and for many
years a sufferer with paralysis he
never lost his cheerful enjoyment of
life. Two weeks ago his friends
missed him in the parlors and general
rooms of the club, and learned that
his disease had made such rapid prog
ress that he was confined to his bed.
Soon it was known that his case was
hopeless, SO his death last evening
was not unexpected, though even his
doctor had not expected it quite so
soon. The news was suppressed in
the clubhouse so as not to interfere
with the festivities of the evening,
and perhaps a half a dozen people
were all who heard of his death. No
arrangements fol the funeral were
made last evening, but the services
will probably be held at the residence
Of his business partner, George 2.
Bay, in Englewood.
Mr.. Peterson was knighted last
November by the king Of Denmark in
recognition of his long and valuable
services as Danish consul in this city
He was given the decoration of the
Ancient Order Of Denneborg, the Sec
ond of the Danish orders Of knight
hood, and an honor highly priced.

La Grippe Successfully Treated

him. The funeral occurs this after
noon from St. Marks church.
Mrs. Boyer, mother of Mrs. M.
Bartz, died Wednesday last at the
latter's home, 305 Seventh street.
The funeral took place Friday after
noon, the services being held in St.
Johns Lutheran church. Deceased
was in her 91st year.
An early resident of this city, Mrs.
Harriet B. Thayer, died Monday at
her home in Oconomowoc. Six child
ren are left surviving. Deceased was
perhaps best known here as Mrs. Asa
Nichols, she being twice married.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1899-01-25

The decoration was conferred at the
time he resigned his position in the
consular service owing to his declin-
ing health.
''Mr Peterson had been a resident
of Chicago for over twenty-five years,
having come here from Watertown,
Wis, where he had been a business
man. He was born in Denmark, but
came to Chicago at an early day. In
this city he established first the firm
of Peterson & Bay, and a few years
ago the business was transferred to a
corporation called the Western State
bank, of which Mr.. Peterson became
president
''Quiet in his life, Mr.. Peterson was
known little outside of business and
