Bernhardt, Adams and owen.

The announcement that Maud Adams
and Sara Bernhardt were to appear to-
gether in Romeo and Juliet, in which
Miss Adams caused so much comment
a season ago, has kept up popular in
terest in the great Shakespearean love
story. That love story never g1e~s
old IS truism, and that lover by ma
ture and art should play the part of a
lover is another truism. The peculiar
fitness of William Owen for the role of
Romeo, who will be seen at opera house
on Wednesday Jan. 20, is known to all
the theatrical profession.
Mr.. Owen was sought after by Otis
SINNERS manager to play the part Of
the lover in that actors metropolitan
production of Francesca da Remini, as
being the best suited actor in America
for the second role in the play. Mr..
Owen, of course, could not desert his
following in this and other cities and
did not for moment consider the offer,
although his weekly salary was placed
in three figures by the enterprising
manager. Mr.. Owen has played Romeo
for several seasons and this year will be
seen in the great Shakespearean loye
story alone, handsome production of
which has been made.

The Joints Are Closed.

The hop ale and liquor joints which
have been running wide open in Leon
Tor some time are now things of the
past. On Monday an information was
filed before Justice Harvey by VIM. Nc
Kern, charging Trout & johnson with
selling liquor in the old hotel building
at the @ depot, owned by w. L. Barry,
and sheriff Martin and constable Allen
armed with a search warrant raided the
place and captured 112 bottles of Bud
weiser beer, gallons of wine in key,
pint Of wine in bottle, and about {
Of pint of whiskey which was stored
in the Jail, the hearing to condemn the
liquor being set for Feb. 8. The two
men who have been running the place
have skipped out and Mr.. Barry has
commenced proceedings to eject the
parties and their goods from his build
ing, which is now occupied by the wife
of one of the men. DR.. ]. w. Mather
has also taken possession of his build
ing across the street from the opera
block where the hop ale joint has been
operated, and we understand the pro.
prietor is unable to secure another
building, as property owners refuse to
rent to him for fear Of having the mulct
tax assessed against their property.

Recollections of the School House

Being comfortably situated in new
home, and fairly accustomed to the sur
roundings of their place of refuge, it is
but natural that the members of the North
School should allow their thoughts to re-
vert to the past.
A memory of the old school house will
in every heart be the brightest and
clearest on lnemory's page. 1t will be to

WANT ANOTHER RACE
Between City of Erie q nd Tssh-
moo--$5oo,ooo ls Al
ready Wagered.

Cleveland, April 2S.--George Gard
ner, vice president of the Cleveland
and Buffalo steamship line, is author-
ity for the statement that s50G,OOO is
ready to be wagered by the citizens OF
Cleveland on race to take place on
June : between the steamers City Of
Erie and the Tashmoo.
These two vessels raced from Cleve-
land TO Erie last year. the City of
Erie winning by SO minutes. Now the
sporting fraternity want return race,
and they are willing to put up almost
any amount. The Tashmoo is a pas
senger boat built for smooth water
work on the st. Clair river. The City
of Erie, being a deeper draught vessel,
goes in any water.
The Cleveland people are willing to
accept any boat that can be matched
against boat of equal tonnage, but
they particularly want to see these
two boats race again.

MAY NOT PRESIDE.
Senator Foraker May Decline
Charm nship Of State
Convention.

Washington, April est is pos
sible that Senator Foraker will not
be the permanent chairman of the Re-
publican state convention which is to
be held in Cleveland next month. This
would not be because the Republicans
of Ohio do not want him to preside
over the convention, but because the
senator himself is disinclined to act
in that capacity.
Mr.. Foraker is disposed to suggest
that another man be given the honor
this time. He has presided over q
good many conventions, and thinks
the distinction should be passed
around.
This, at any rate, is the way he
expressed himself in discussing the
matter with an Ohio friend.
