The signing Of Dab" Clark to play first
base for Butte win probably cause some
surprise among the fans. II was limited

land Clark, no time was lost In doing II,
In getting Dad" Butte has one of the

PROF. CLARK'S LECTURE.
Gave Excellent Reading of Famous
Tragedy, "Cyrano de Bergerac,

Despite the bad weather, there was a
large audience at Barratt Hall last
evening to hear Prof S, II, Clark's
reading Of Rostands famous tragedy,
"Cyrano dc Bergerac."
This is the great French drama that
had such vogue few years ago and
that gave its author such high niche
I'm the world Of letters, It's theme Is
the same old story Of two men In love
with one woman; but as usual with the
work of genius. Il Is given an entirely
new and attractive form. Rostand has
here endeavored to show how the soul
can triumph over physical disadyan-
tages. He also pointed out that the eye
OF love can pierce through unusual dis
guises TO find It's own beyond II one
were inclined TO OFFER n criticism, II
would be that there Is slightly too much
humor for so weighty tragic idea, and
that this humor Is sometimes incongru-
Gus, There Is. however fine dramat-
iC background In the battles going on
almost without cessation
As for the performer. everyone pres
ent felt that he had listened to a great
master, The highest praise that can
be given, II seems, is that from the"
opening words TO the last, he held his
audience spell-bound. Prof. Clark was
not, however. at his best. Anyone who
has heard him In ULYSSES" feels in
stinctlvely that the latter drama Is the
professors favorte. Nevertheless he
was IN fine voice, and brought out some
exquisite effects.
He gives by request his much praised
lecture, 1.-THE Tragic Ideal this after
noon, Hereafter the afternoon pro-
grams will begin at 4.l5 instead OF 4,
and all the readings viii commence
promptly on time, Tho doors will be
open only half an hour before the time
for commencing.
Complying with request made IN
behalf OF the students OF the public
schools, and particularly those OF the
seventh and eighth grades, Prof. Clark
| has consented TO deliver his lecture,
Julius Caeser," on Thursday after
noon at AIS in Barratt Hall. This lee
ture Ia especially for students and I Is
not expected that others will attend.

20 say the men Of today. 1t certainly
Is a wonderful state; vast Is her ac-
cumulated wealth, untold her widely
diversified and inexhaustible natural
resources, a climate that varies from
the snow clad peaks Of her everlasting
hills, down through temperate Zones to
her semi tropical wales where grow the
roses Of Sharon, the lilies OF Egypt and
the olives, oranges, cedars and figs Of
Lebanon.
California Is In the very first rank OF
all the states IN everything included In
the word civilization" used In the
best sense. An authority has looked
the facts up very carefully as TO the
number. names and residence Of the
most eminent living men and women In

Iii3 In our country and nearly one
third OF these most eminent people In
all walks OF life, live In this state. Al
the same time | believe IL list were
made OF the most celebrated fakirs and
swindlers, the state would show even
a greater number than one-third on a
like basis. There are 1000 men and
women languishing in the prisons of
the state and not one among them IL
rich. This needs no comment from me.
