that led to the opening of the night
school here. 1t has been in existence less
than a month, and is found to supply
an3actual need. sEhere were many young
people and children in the city sadly in
need of such advantages as it seeks to
afford, and ready and anxious to avail
themselves of1sucll an opportunity. Oh
course, they are very poor people, ana

With very rare exceptions, they did not
have books nor the means to procure
them.
These have been donated, most Of the

there is an; embarrassing lack Of uni

almost as great as that of getting such

Sandow Tonieht,

An event OF Importance to theatcr.goers is the
engagement of Eugene Sandow and his peerless
company OF European and American novelties at
the Iyceum thcater this evening. Sandow stands
pre.eminent among the worlds strong men.
While he is the strongest OF modern times,
this is a mere detail in comparison with the won.
dcrful performance he gives The average strong
man gives performance which is mere eSlibi-
tion of strength but in the entertainment Of
Sandow, while wonderful deeds OF strength are
the main features, it is the grace OF this modern
Hercules and the ease and perfection with which
every feat is accomplished tgat has made him
world famous.
One OF the most brilliant parts OF his per-
formance is his posing in Il marvellous picture Of
4 perfect man, during which lie shows the work
ing of every muscle in the body, each muscle
being distinct and separate from all others. His
tearing of six packs OF cards punched together
shows his tremendous grip of the hand. Another
great feat is his holding up OF twenty-five men
and the raising OF 1,0o0-pound weights in each
hand as ii they were mere playthings cul.
minaing feat unheard of in the annals OF strong
men is the raising and holding in the air with
one hand Of 4 horse and carriage.
The company assisting Sandow is particularly
strong, comprising as it docs some of the best
novelties and cleverest features in vaudeville.
This engagement is for night only and our
ihcater.goers will not have another opportunity
of again seeing Sandow, as he soon retires to cs-
tablish in New York his college Of physical oul-
ture, similar to those running in London
and Paris. The Damn Brothers, comedy aero
bats, two local boys, are with Sandow, and their
act it is said, cXcells any turn ever attempted
in acIobaic work

sermon with the church as the pillar
and ground work of all that was good.
He said he was an Odd Fellow indeed,
who was found in the church twice on
a Sunday. His theme was the bible,
this text, "The Entrance of Thy Words
Giveth Light" found in Psalms 119ch.,

The engagement of Madame Modeska and
Louis James, announced for next Thursday even
ing, promises TO outrank in both popular and ar
tistic importance any event of the present thea
trical season. While the public have seen sew
eial elaborate Shnkespearean productions in re-
cent years, 10 presentation of a Shakespearean
play during the past decade will compare in its
associations with great players with the coming
performance of "The Merchant OF Venice" in
which these celebrated artists are to appear.
The artistic possibilities OF the alliance ap-
pcalcd to both players with greater force than
the promise of gain, especially in view OF their
welknown financial standing. Since the death
OF Mr.. Booth Mr.. Louis james has been regarded
as pre,emnenr on the tragic stage OF this coun.
try. Added to his splendid accomplishments,
Mr.. James has a personality which has won him
large and loyal following. In bringing these
artists together, it is not too much to say that
Managers Wagenhals nd Kemper have rendered .
distinct service to tho drama in America.
The sale OF seats opens this morning at
