THE LAST NUMBER OF
THE LYCEUM COURSE

The closing attraction of the lyceum
course, the Arion Male Quar.ette and
Miss Elma B. Smith, Reader. appeared
at the Opera house Tuesday evening. A
large, appreciative audience was present
and every number on the program was
heartily applauded The last number
of the course constituted a suitable
climax to the four splendid attractions
that preceded it. Although each of the
four preceding attractions was highly
appreciated, the concluding number of
the course was undoubtedly the most
enjoyable one in the estimation of the
majority of the audience.
The singing of the quartette was ex
cellent. Each member is an artist for
the individual voices of the Arions show
the highest training; and collectively
their voices blended in beautiful harmo-
ny in the rendition of the melodies of
the occasion, which were largely of a
popular character.
"A lChtuiC VI tiiC pNth-ioi "o' viz
rendition of several numbers by the
quartette playing the Organ Chimes in
unison This instrument, which con
sists of a series of graduated, perfectly
attuned cylinder bells cons ruCted on
the principle of the xylophone, is a
marvellous novelty and produces Won
derful instrumental effects. Mascagni's s
grand intermezzo, "Cavelleria Rusti-
cana which was rendered 10y the Arions
of the best numbers on the program.
But what contributed most to the en-
ioyment of the evening was Miss Smiths
marvellous impersonations of children
and adults and her imitation of birds
and babies One of the numbers given
by Miss Smith was Friday Afternoon
at School, an original production.
While all the numbers of the program
We're encored, Friday Afternoon at
School" brought down the house again
and again by the rollicking fun of i'm
presentations of children and adults in a
manner absolutely true TO life In her
line Miss Smith is genius of the highest
rank. Columns would not contain an
adequate description of her marvellous
limitations and accurate representations.
The gracious manner in which both
Miss Smith and the Arions responded to
all encores was well calculated to
heighten the enthusiasm OF the audience.
Previous to the program Attorney E.
G.. Nash, member of the lyceum com
mittee, gave short address, in which he
told of the financial success of the
course. stating, among other things,
that there was cash balance on hand,
which would be used to begin next
years course.
Much credit is due to the committee,
especially to Prof Keller, for the all
around success Of the course.

FRED CARLIN FAILS
IN BAKER BUSINESS.

The bakery shop opened by Fred Car
lin last October Mt the corner of North
Seventh and State streets was closed
lst week, the failure being attributed
to the fact that Carlin had cut prices by
about forty per cent in order to secure
trade While enjoying II fairly good
trade, the business WAS not sufficiently
large to enable him to meet expenses
with the small margin Of profit at which
he sold bread, rolls and Confectionery
Some of the creditors seeing that the
failure was inevitable, took Carlin 4

But the remaining assets are not suii
cient to satisfy the demands Of other
'creditors.
