AL. II. Wilson. Metz in his new
laugh-provoking comedy, "The
German Gipsy"., will appear at the
Gand Opera house, Wednesday,
March 28th.
Mr.. Wilson is born actor of
undeniable ability. He is favored
with fine stage presence, magnetic
manner and an intelligent and express
sive face that can at one moment de-
pict touching pathos and at tie next
convulse his auditors with heartiest
laughter. He also possesses the heaven
sent gift of singing voice of re-
markable power and sweetness which
is so well described by Mr.. George r.
Goodale. the celebrated dramatic
critic of the Detroit Free Press. Mr..
Goodale, writes. "He sings ballads
with rare feeling, and his voice has
that sympathetic quality that is above
beyond and wholly out of the reach
of art +"
Mr.. Wilson sings a number of new
and catchy songs that are of the
whistling order and they have proven
exceedingly popular. The titles are
"Under the Harvest Moon" "No
Love Like Thine, Gretchen, "
1.-THE Love Trust 1.-The Girl for
Me, MY German Rose" and katie

Almost Buried Alive.

To be pronounced dead, prepared
for burial, and placed in coffin and
realize that the funeral was only a
few hours away has been the exper-
fence of Mrs. w. B. Sherwood, %
years old, wife of merchant at
Mabel, MINI. Early Friday morning
life suddenly came back to Mrs. Sher-
wood. She sat up in her coffin and
screamed. In an adjoining room two
women friends were keeping death
watch. They heard the women who
was supposed to be dead try to
scramble out of her coffin and scream.
One of the women, Mrs. A. Clark,
went into Mysteries. The other woman,
screaming, awoke the household.
Mrs. Sherwood was found sitting up
in her coffin, fully conscious but too
weak to move. Later she became de-
lirious, but physicians announced that
she would recover. The woman
declares that she was conscious of all
that was going on around her but
was unable to move a muscle.

Sam Jones Captiyates Audience.

Rev. Sam Jones, the invincible,
closed the lecture course for this
season at the Grand last Wednesday
evening before an audience that
packed the house, with many stand
ing and quite a number occupying
seats on the stage. 1t was his first
visit to this city. and his reputation
had come before him. Many went ex-
pecting something novel in the line
of lectures, and they got it, with a
vengeance. His peculiar method of
handling his subject, his fearless
and radical arraignment of the evils
OF intemperance and the every day
con 1uct of all classes of people which
he had under consideration, struck
home, no doubt, with much force
to many of his auditors, but they
took it smilingly because it was Sam
jones and waited for more, which
they in most cases got. Jones don t
care a rap what he says. or where it
hits, and this, coupled with his
frankness and sincerity, is responsible
for his great success as public
speaker and evangelist.
In connection with this closing
number, it may not be amiss to ex-
press the gratitude evident on all
sides among those holding tickets, for
the high class of entertainments pre-
sented in this years course. Each
and every entertainment has been of
the very highest degree of merit,
none but the most accomplished
artists in their various lines appear
ing. Such combination of enter-
tainments could not fail TO give the
best of satisfaction, and the popular
ity of the lecture courses offered by
the DEBORAH Lyceum Bureau is now
firmly established. Next years
course will be opened by the world
famous Kiltie Band, and other num-
bers of equally strong reputation will
be engaged and announced later.
