AT THE ILLINOIS THEATRE.

chicago theatre-goers are ma~veIing
at the wonderful art of Mrs. Leslie
Carter as displayed in David Belasco's
play ''Du Barry" at the Illinois thea
ire. Mrs. Carter in "The Heart OF
Maryland" and "zaza" proved her
right to position at the very front of
English speaking actresses, but in
"Du Barry" her work is SO really re-
markab bic that it is small wonder that
the Illinois theatre is entirely too
small to accom- modate all who want to
view this inspired actress vivid por-
traya1 of the milliner girl who became
the favorite of Louis XIV of France.
The Saturday matinee audiences, in
particular, have been unusually large,
and in response to many requests from
patrons of the theatre in nearby
towns, Mrs. Carter has consented to
depart from her long established Gus
tomsand give two special Wednesday
matinee performances of "DuBarry''
on April % and April 90. The seats
for these extra afternoon presentations
OF the Belasco piece are now on sale,
and from present indicat tons the thea
tire will be visited by gatherings just
as large and enthusiastic as those that
| nightly shower much superlative
praise upon the great artist.
Mrs. Carriers engagement at the Illi-
nois theatre is only for a few weeks
longer, and persons who have not as
yet witnessed the masterpiece of David
Belasco and sat under the magnetic
spell Of Mrs. Carter's powerful acting
have missed the greatest dramatic
treat of the period. DIV

Judge Belden Signs the Order to Turn
Bank Property Back to Pres
ident F. S. Komp.
BOND IS FILED IN KENosHA.
Inspector Bergh Declares That Even If De-
positors are Paid the Bank Requires
Capital Before Doing Business.

The depositors of the Kenosha State
Bank are now certain of the return of
their money, as this afternoon shortly
after two O'Clock the order of the court
turning the bank over to President
Komp was filed with the clerk of the
circuit court, and with it the bond of
the Fidelity and Deposit Company, of
Maryland, which has been approved
by Judge Belden.
Judge Belden signed the order for
the transfer of the property from the
receiver to Mr.. Kor1p just after noon
and the President OF the bank and his
attorney at once returned to Kenosha
and took possession of the business.
The sign which had been on the door
declaring that the bank was in the
hands of receiver was torn down,
and to all intents and purposes the
bank is now open for business. No
one called for money this afternoon,
but it is probable that it would have
been paid had demand been made.
The attorney for the Bonding Com
pany Jacob Kroncke will assist in the
management of the bank until the
depositors have been paid and the COM
pany relieved from responsibility. Mr..
Kroncke started this afternoon that it
was proba BILE that the bank would be
in position to pay as soon as the money
could be broght up from Chicago and
the bank books had been examined.
The attorney ard Mr.. Komp went to
Chicago this afternoon to secure
possession of the funds which are
being held at the Corn Exchange Bank
and the receiver will at once turn over
to the President all the funds held in
the vaults of the bank in this city.
In regard to the re-openihg of the
bank to receive deposits no statement
has been given out by either Mr.. Komp
or any of his associates in business
but the bank examiner, M. c..
Bergh of Madison, last night.gave the
following statement:
Gwen if they have secured the bond
required by the court" he said, "that
simply insures the payment of the de-
positors and restores control of his
property to Mr.. Komp, pending his ap-
peal in the receivership order. 1t
does not provide the bank with the
necessary capital to resume business.
cat present the matter is out of the
hands Of the banking department, but
if the bank should attempt to reopen
without capital the examiners would
interfere and prevent it. This matter
has been impressed on Mr.. Komp, and
/ do not think that the bank will be
opened"

NEXT SUNDAYS ATTRACTION.

When "Janice Meredith" is present
ed at the Opera House theatre on Sun
day evening, with William Bonel1i and
Rose Stahl as the stars, the Identical
production used by Mary Manuering
will be seen. The scenery, costumes
and properties were bought Intact, and
the stages in the theatres in which the
play will be presented have been found
in every instance, large enough to &C
commodate the production without the
Cutting down" of its scenic dress,
which is quite elaborate. The play
has not been presented since the tragic
death of its author. which has resulted in
additional interest in the famous piece,
shown clearly by the tremendous sale
of the novel, which according toits pub
fishers, has reached the 350,OO0 mark,
making necessary the printing of a
third edition.

Cautious.

The lawyer happened to be acquaint-
ed with juror in a petty civil case,
and he met aim during a recess of the
court. The lawyer was just lighting
up" and under ordinary circum-
stances he would have offered the 9TH
er a cigar unhesitatingly But it oc+
ccurred to him it might not look right
81 suppose" he said guardedly, that
cigar would not influence your YEP
diet"
The juror was equally cautious.
~ good one wouldn't" he replied,
'but a poor one might prejudice me. !"
He got good cigar. Chicago Post.

FAVORs NEW PLAN.
School Commissioner Wants Present Prin-
cipaI also made the superintendent.

School Commissioner Wants Present Prin-
cipaI also made the Superintendent.
To the Editor of EVENING News:
The writer is pleased to note your
suggestion in the matter of com bin
ing the work of the Superintendent
of Schools and principal in one Office.
We are very Anticipated in our
methods. No city with anything like
our population and school industry
undertakes to handle its system of
education without a trained superin-
tendent, who gives his entire time
and attention TO the supervision
and management of the schools.
Such a man should be trained in
modern methods and should not be
Principal of the High School, or any
other school, but the General Manager
of all the schools, and more particu-
larly of the lower grades, where the
greater necessity for constant super
vision lies.
If the foundation is not good the
whole structure is weak and of no
permanent value. But a small per-
centage of pupils ever reach the High
School and comparatively few see the
9Th grade.
In Prof. Hammill, believe we have
the right man, and would heartily
favor his selection as Superintendent
of Schools, giving him full power.
(subject only to removal of the board, }
to manage the entire system of the
city. | would favor the selection of
some one of the teaching force of the
High School as its Principal. I would
add to the salary now paid Prof. Ham
mill the sum of $500 now paid for
Superintendent and Clerk of the
Board. I would give the new Superin-
tendent membership on the Board
to enable him to vote on all matters,
except his own re election, making him
ex-oficio, member of the Committee
on Teachers.
would retain no teacher in the
schools against the objections of Prof.
Hammill, should he be elected as
Superintendent with powers as herein
outlined. | would employ no teacher
without his endorsement first obtained.
Of course the Committee on Teachers
would approve or disapprove Of the
application so received by the Superin-
tendent, and the Board would accept
or reject the report Of us Committee.
In this way ample checks and safe
guards are placed upon the Superinten-
dent and at the same time he IS account
able for the work of each and every
teacher and the Board has some one
to hold responsible.
Yours truly,
SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.

ADJUSTMENTS


John Thompson, the king ofvaude-
vile artists, who appears at the
Weiser Opera House on May 9th is
widely spoken OF by the press as
refined and delightful entertainer.
"Laugh while you may. tomorrow
you may be dead" seems to be
Thompson's motto
John Thompson goes to the opera
house with one object in view, and
that is to amuse people, in which he
succeeds beyond a doubt. Around
the World in 80 Minutes is not a
play-it is an entertainment, and a
good one. There is no other enter
tainment like it. Most plays remind
a person of their troubles, this per-
formance makes you forget them.
There is not serious hair in John
Thompsons head; he is funny right
through. His repertoire of songs,
about sixteen IN all, are all comic,
and all good. His solos on the violin,
piano, banjo, claironet, Chinese fid-
die and cows horn are most artisti-
cally performed. His dancing would
make many minstrel men hide theil
heads. Their is no comedian like
John, and if there is such thing al
the King PIN Comedian, Johl
Thompson must be "it'
