There seems to be some difficulty in
securing a man to take Prof. Liniield's
place at the A. G. Mr.. Lnfield is re-
garded as one of the ablest men in the
institution and as he has worked his
department up to such high stand
ard, the president is very anxious to
secure man who can and will keep 1t
there. The faculty and students re-
greet very much that Mr.. Lintield will
leave the institution, although they
are glad to see him going up the line.
A runaway last Saturday attempted
to assist those who are feeling sore at
the Hercules company, by tearing up
that company's line on South Main
street. The team got under full head
way going down the Foundry hill and
tried game of sweepstake with the
light poles, swapping two of them OIL
as easily as If they were sticks OF
macoroni. No particular damage was
done to anything except the light
poles. sg
The type forms for our last weeks
paper were misplaced by the express
company and as consequence the
paper was not put in the postoffice
until Saturday. Most of the matter
contained in the paper was in regard
to the convention, which was over be-
fore the paper reached the people.
Naturally the stuff was little stale,
but the occurrence was unavoidable.
This is newspaper business under
difficulties, but we'll overcome them
yet.
Rev. John r.. Axton, who looks after
the spiritual welfare of the soldier
boys at Fort Douglass, came up for
the foot ball game on last Saturday
and remained over until Sunday after
noon. During Sunday morning he
was a visitor at the Presbyterian
church and favored the children with
talk about his Sunday school, which
of course was very interesting to the
youngsters and some of the older ones
as well. Axton was skinned by the
ministerial association few days age
for not doing as the members of that
organization thought proper, but the
young man doesn't appear any worse
for wear. He Is Of easy manner, yet
decisive just the man for such posi-
ton as he holds and It's said that the
soldier boys stand by him through
thick and thin.
"The Tempest" at the Thatcher
opera house last night was greeted by
the largest house of the saeson,- in
fact with as large audience as the spa
cious play house would hold. The
heralding of the coming of James &
Ward in this Shakespearean produc
tion caused a rapid sale of seats, 1t be
ing impossible to secure chair on the
lower floor after Wednesday noon
This was made a society event and the
audience that greeted the talented ar
lists was composed of the elite of the
city. That every expectation of the
audience was fulfilled goes withou,
saying -Louis James and Friedrich
Warde's reputation in Shakespearear
roles answering for that. AS spec
tacular production 'The Tempest
was superb, and from every othel
standpoint it may be regarded as on,
of the most satisfactory performance
ever given in the city. James as Cali
ban the deformed slave, portrayed tn,
character of that individual in man
ner that brought forth great applause
There is full scope In this for the ac
tors undoubted ability and on this oc
casion he certainly was at his best
Ward took the part of the banishet
Duke and gave a truly acceptable
characterization of the role. The va
rious inner roles were acceptably fillet
and this support accorded the grea
artists added to their success.
