Service, the schools instructors
In 1874 Rev. John J. Keane, then assist
ant pastor of st. Patrick's Church, now
archbishop of Dubuque, undertook the work
of organizing an evening school, under the
auspices of the institute, for the benefit OF
working boys and young men, and that
school continued for more than twenty
years. Upon the Inauguration of public
night schools the management of the lnstl-
tute believed the reasons which led TO the
organization of the school originally had
ceased to exist. and 1t was accordingly dis
continued in 1895. More or less dfssatis-
faction has always been felt over this ac
ton. and, In response to the oft-repeated
demands for It's Redistribution, and gen.
eraf realization that the public night school
facilities are wholly inadequate for the pub
lie needs the institute management, Octo-
Der II last, re-entered this field, which 1t
had so long and successfully occupied
until it's abandonment in 1895. The prem

Sergeant Brue" is the latest of the Eng
lish musical comedies TO be transplanted to
the American stage. 1t has had short
preliminary season in Philadelphia and is
10 go to New York after it terminates
weeks stay in this city. The performance
has the distinct advantage of presenting
the comical little player, Frank Daniels, In
a new play. Mr.. Daniels merry mas
queraie has covered long range of char
acters, from the oriental potentate to the
humble office boy, and laughter and APP
plause have greeted all his efforts 1t is no
jispara cement to declare that Daniels Is
always the same. regardless of the charac
ter he assumes. Daniels, with his per-
sonality absorbed and obliterated would be
no longer Interesting. In this production,
which has all the usual advantages of
galaxy of stage beauties, scenery and cal
ciuIn lights he dons the blue and buttons OF
a London bobby" The New York au-
diences before which the piece is next to be
shown may have difficulty in comprehend
ing the temerity of Il librettist in poking
fun at SO important a parsonage as
policeman. The policeman. as we know
him. is more assertive and imposing tnan
he is in the English metropolis. Whlle the
satire, which represents Sergeant Brue as
meek little man too sympathetic to arrest
anybody. is likely to be lost. the humorous
personality of the star gives the role
liberal share of interest. Prominent in the
company is Miss Blanche Ring, who com
bines statuesque beauty with vivaclty OF
manner and an attractive voice. Miss Ring
smiles winsomely and although surrounded
by feminine beauty. never suffers eclipse.
Miss Salie Fisher sings charmingly and
Alfred Hickman plays juvenile role with
spirit and pictorial effectiveness Inc
chorus shows the results OF experienced
stage MANAGEMENT and the costuming is
handsome The music discloses several
numbers of a distinct impression on the
ear and the rhymes are clever. Mr. Daniels
monologue delivered in lieu of Il curtain
speech was as usual one of the distinct
hits of the performance.
