Hewett and Zetta appear at the ope- ra house Friday and Saturday. April IF and l3. The Tucson Star of April 7th has this to say:
 A singularly novel and interesting performance was given by the Great Hewett and Lady Zetta at Grossetta' s opera house last night. The entertain ment comprised feats of legerdema!n bGrlesque magical acts. mind reading. hypnotism. the famous cabinet trick dramatic sketches and song and mim- lcry. Both Prof. Hewett and Lady Zet- la are amazingly clever and versatile artists and their rendition of the long and varigated programme captured the audience comple tely and won re- peated and prolonged applause.
 Prof Hewett's legerdemain work ranks up to the Hermann standard, but Lady Zetta's cabinet trick and mind reading exploits are still more re- markable and mystifying. The lady was tied to a stake by two men selected from the audience, and in less than ten seconds she was accomplishing feats that require all limbs and all senses of most people While blindfolded and sitting with her back to the audience she instantly and minutely described various articles in possession of audi tors, in answer to questions respecting them. Lady Zetta's work is easily su- perior to anything of the kind ever seen in Tucson.
 Numerous costly and beautiful pres ents were given to the audienc by Prof. Hewett

xx Amusernents #

The offering at the opera house for drama, The Angel of the Alley" pre- sented by Sullivan and Harris. This really marvellous production is without a parallel upon the stage today. It Is brmfull of startling scenes and unique situations, and has held high place in public interest since its initial presen- tation in New York.
 The play deals with the adventures of young officer, who is lured to an underground gambling resort in New York. and portrays in a number of viv- idly realistic scenes the life of the class Who inhabit a certain section of New York and who have caused the police much trouble The scenery used in the play is representation of the most ia miliar streets and alleyways of this quarter, and is correct in every d5tail.
 There is also used in one act scenery representing the condemned cell at Sing Sing. No expense was spared to procure a perfect reproduction and the naturalness of the scene is startling. The action of the play Is svs't and powerful and there is no lack of inter est from start to finish. An exceed ingly capable cast interprets the piece and brings out the light and shade in finished and artistic manner The popularity of the play tnrougnout the cast predicts for it an immediate sue cess here. The horse used in this pro- duction is the celebrated thoroughbred Howard Gratz, from the racing stable of P. H. Sullivan at Sheepshead Bay.

Grand Opera Hou.n.

| "The Dairy Farm" the most success full of all plays that have ever been pro-
 duced in the past two theatrical sea-
 sons will be presented at the Grand
 Opera House tonight, tomorrow night and Wednesday night and at the mati-
 nee Wednesday by an excellent cast of
 players, including many of the original interpreters of the picturesque and
 quaint characters in the play, who tell
 most beautiful love story, a story
 that appeals to the hearts and finer
 feelings. of all who see it--a pure, whole
 some and moral story; a. story that is
 void of all suggestiveness; a story that
 has not a word in it that could possibly
 offend the most sensitive. This play
 is the work of a clever actress who has
 been seen in the leading support of
 many of the best stars. Her name is
 Eleanor Merron, and she is perhaps the
 most talked of playwright in this coun-
 try Her writing of this work has
 brought her both fame and fortune and
 has placed her in the very front rank of American authors. It will be presented
 by large and well selected cast of ar
 tists including many of the originals. This company has been selected by James H. Wallick, who is managing the tour, with a special view as to the abil
 ity of each one for the character they represent The play will be adequately staged with all of the original scenery, costumes and effects that have made it so popular and almost a household phrase over the length and breadth of this country No play ever written and produced in this country can show the same record as "The Dairy Farm" that of three century runs in the three larg- est cities in this country, namely, New York 1O9 performances, Philadelphia 137 and Chicago 1S3.
 The Royal Lilliputians in 'The Merry Tramps" will be at the Grand Opera | House the last three days of this week, | with matinee Saturday.

IMPRESSIVE SERVICES AT REV. G.
 B. CU7TEN'S CHURCH.
Celebration Yesterday Over the Clear ing Up of tn @ Debt of the Church --Ad- City Preachers.

Yesterday afternoon in the little Howard avenue Baptist church one of the most important services ever held within the walls of the church took place and was presided over by the pastor, Rev George B. Cutten. It was the celebration of the occasoin of the lifting of the burden from the church property and during the service the mortgages and all other deeds of debt were burned in an Egyptian incense burner, the match being lighted by the pastor The total debt of the church was $4,00G, but since Rev. MT. Cutten became pastor of the church all this has been lifted and to celebrate the occasion the mortgages were burned.
 The church was filled, every chair and every nook and corner being occupied with members and friends.
 During the service many of the pas tors of the city, all of whom were seat ed on the platform, made five minute addresses congratulating Rev. MT. Cut ten and the congregation and speaking words of encouragement for the future. Rev. MT. Cutten also spoke and thank ed the ministers for their words of en- couragement and stimulation and told of how the sum was raised. giving the congregation an interesting account of the work during the two years. Rev. MT. Cutten also said that the good work was not going to cease with the clear ing up of the debts, but that he and the members of the church were going right ahead in the same energetic man ner until the church had substantial sum in its treasury. He also announc- ed that improvements in the church would be made and that all the bills necessary for the collection of the money had been paid. This amounted to $1O.15 and together with the interest during payment of mortgages and the total mortgages of $3, 960 the sum paid out was $4,096.24
 During the burning of these debts the congregation rose and sang the doxol- ogy in hearty manner. The antique incense burned in which the fire was started was on the platform in plain view of every one in the church.
 The programme opened at 3 o'clock with a hymn and this was followed by prayer by Rev. c. w. Jackson. This prayer was followed by addresses by Rev. Harvey Burnes and Rev F.. c. Sage, followed by solo by Edward AL ling The rest of the programme con- sisted of addresses by Rev. w. J. Mutch, Rev. Otto Konig, Rev. F. w. Stone, Rev. w. H. Bawden, Rev.

TEACHING YOUNG GERMANY
 HOW TO DO THINGS.

One of the most interesting features
 of German educational life is the 'in-
 dustrial art schools" in which young machinists are trained to become fore
 men and superintendents of factories.
 There are eleven such schools in the
 City of Berlin, and they opened the fall
 term with 2,512 pupils. They are sit-
 uated in different parts of the city to
 serve the convenience of the working
 classes for whose benefit they are in-
 tended. There are two systems-one furnishes instructions In every branch
 of merchanical industry, including
 designing, drawing, carving, moulding, modelling, surveying, engineering,
 chemistry, the use of instruments of
 science and mechanics six hours a day for six days in the week. For this an annual fee of 100 marks (S25) is charged.
 In this school are representatives of the
 middle classes of society, who are not dependent upon their own earnings for
 support-the son of manufacturer merchants and skilled mechanics who earn good salaries.
 The other system appeals to a much larger class of the population, and about 2,000 young men who are com pelled to earn their own living, take advantage of evening and Sunday in- struction that is given them for nomi- nal fee of marks for the year for an average of four lessons week, and 6 marks year for an average of six les sons a week. Of course this fee is merely formal, and is intended to ap- peal to the self-respect of the pupil and remove the odor of charity. For two hours each evening and for four hours each Sunday instruction is given those whose circumstances compel them to work during the week days. To enter candidate must have already gone through the common schools and &C., quired solid foundation of general in- forma tion. He must also pass an ex- animation in mathematics, and must have served an apprenticeship of at least year at some mechanical trade. 1 Upon entering the school he has an op- ton of seven or eight different depart | ments, all of them dealing with the construction and operation of machin- cry, electric motors, pumping apparatus, locomotive or stationary engines, spin ming, weaving molding, the manufac- ture and handling or all sorts or tOolS, ' forging, and every other form of me chanism The instructors are practical men, and each student must follow a practical course. No time can be wasted in experimental work. Upon the school he must select his trade, and he will be educated thor oughly in that particular line of indus try, so that he may not only be able to operate. but to design and construct the machinery that pertains to it,-W. E. Curtis in Chicago Record Herald.
