There is promised a great deal of sup-to-
date music, plenty of songs and dances,
and theAumerOuS ensemble numbers are
sd id to be striking and effective.
The comedy is written in three acts,
the first act presenting its action at the
home of Murphy by the sea The second
act presents its multitude of fun Incl
dents at Murphys pawn shop, and at
F'laherty's cafe. Act third takes the
dramatic personae of the cast back to
Murphy's for the finishing up of the fun
incidents of the piece. The interest of
the play, of course, centers around the
two Irish pawnbrokers, which roles are
assumed by the two American Macs as
Levi Murphy and Marmaduke McFla-
herty. The characters from which the
play takes its title are two very amusing

that arise in the play, furnish no end

summer should be a sufficient guarantee
of the merit of the work, and to add TO
this certificate of value, it may be said
that the many hundreds of st. Paul pea-

Barbara Fretchie Next week.


Clyde Fitch's beautiful play, Barbara
Frietchie,'' will be presented at the Grand
opera house following the engagement
of the Irish Pawnbrokers," with the
same exactness as to scenic detail, cos
tunes and effects that characterized its
production at the Criterion theater and
Academy of Music, New York city. The
play, tells simply and tenderly, yet with
much dramatic ingenuity, a love story
with a tragic ending, which does not de-
press the spectators mind by the sad
ness. but leaves him elated by its ex-
hibition of heroism and devotion. The
greater and finer scenes of the play have
noble proportions. The setting cannot
be surpassed. The quaint street with
its low buildings is one of the best scenic
pictures ever displayed. The dresses of
the crinoline period, designed and made
by Dazian, show the ladies to really
pretty effect. The title role of Barbara,
at one time essayed by Julia Marlowe,
will be interpreted by Miss Frances
+ Gaunt.

Union Card to Work for Himself.
Winfield Scott Stratton, the millionaire
mine owner, philanthropist and street car
magnate, is the most eccentric man in the
West, and the way in which he joined the
Carpenters union illustrates this. Re-
Gently he went to his new and palatial
home, in Nevada avenue, in Colorado
Springs, to see how work was progress
ing. Tim Murphy was there with his
force of workmen, for he was boss of the
job. Stratton walked in and looked
around. Then he suddenly fell into a
rage at the apparent slowness of the
work He absolutely "cussed' out the
whole shooting match, and told them to
get out of his place, and that mighty
quick; he did not want to see their faces
ever again. With that he called

Chief Judge McSherry on Saturday
decided an interesting poiut, regard
ing the right to bring suit against the
School Commissioners of county.
He said:
"a quasi public corporation such as
the Board of School Commissioners
could not be sued in an action for
damages at common law or under
statute law" Judge McSherry further
states in his opinion that the Board
of School Commissioners has no power
to raise taxes, and the money which
it has in hand is appropriated for
specific purposes, and if used by the
Board to pay damages or for any
other purpose than those for which
it is appropriated, the board would be
guilty of breach of trust. The opin-
ion is quite lengthy and numerous
authorities are cited. Judge Nc
Sherry advised that the case be taken
| to the court of last resort, so that the
| question may be settled for the whole
State.
Mr.. Weddle sued the commissioners
for S., 900 for the death of his 6-year-
old daughter, which occurred some
weeks ago. While playing at the
schoolhouse, near Thurmont, the
child ran against a wire fence, which
had been placed around the play
grounds unknown to the children,
with such force that she was thrown
heavily to the ground, striking her
head and causing an injury which
resulted in death. State Senator
Rohrback and Frank l.. Stoner,
counsel for the defendant, argued
that under the provisions of the Con-
stitution of Maryland, Article and
Section n, of the Code of Public Gen
eral Laws, the Board of School Com
missioners was not liable in a suit for
damages in a case of this character,
because the public schools, being
supported by general taxation, are
under the control of the State and a
part of the State administration.
NJ. G. and Hammond UrEer, coun-
sci for Mr.. Weddle, argued that under
Article n of the code, the Board OF
County School Commissioners has the
general supervision and control of all
schools in their respective counties,
and if the Board of School Commits
sioners neglected to repair the school
house and damage accrued thereby
then they were certainly liable in
damages for the injury sustained. A
number of authorities were cited by
counsel to substautiate these conten
tions. The decision is considered tt
be an important one, as it is applicable
to all the boards of public schoo
commissioners in the State.
