USED CHURCH AS scaooLRooM
Proceedings That Somewhat Aston.
ished the Sexton.

The sexton of one church that keeps
open doors all day long didn't know
whether to regard the matter In the
light OF desecration or devotional
exercise. He paid no attention when
the three women, watched by man
who stood at the lower end OF the
aisle. walked the length OF the church
and back again. Even when they made
the trip n second time he scarcely gave
them a thought. but when the trio
started around the church third time
and the man called out, Step little
more briskly, please" he began to
wonder. and presently made inquiry.
II hope you won't be offended" the
man replied. Il am a physical culture
instructor l am teaching these young
ladies' to walk. I have already taught
them to walk In the street, in the
drawing room, in the theater and every
place else they are likely to find them
selves. ! am now teaching them to
walk in church. Very few women can
walk there properly. Some lope, some
swagger. some skip. others adopt a
mincing gait All these styles are
very inappropriate for church. A dig
nified. subdued gait alone is suitable
for devotional purposes. Church is
the best place for pupils in walking to
receive practical instruction. therefore
have brought them here"
Great fathers!" gasped the sexton.
What next?"
But he said no more till the walk
Ing exercise was ended. Then he fol-
lowed the class to the door.
Il hope" he said. you will practice
the lesson learned to-day by coming
here to church once In a while"

pressv Robes of Marouisette.

The very dressy robes for afternoon
or evening wear are now composed of
marquisette. This is SO very fine that
it looks like organdie or mousseline
from distance. 1t comes in all col
ors, too, and the colors are very dainty
and delicate. OF course the mar
uuisette is flimsy, but everything this
season is the same. Drapers declared
that goods were to have more body q
year or two ago. but heavy goods have
not yet made an appearance.

FREE EXHIBITION BE FEATURE,
Directors of the Fair Will Have a
Fine Program.

The directors OF the lewiston
Charleston Fair at their meeting per-
fected the plans for the coming ex-
hibition. One of the important fea-
lures of this years exhibition Will
be the free attractions that will be
on the grounds each day. This mat
ter has been thoroughly considered
by the directors and 1t is planned
to give to the Lewiston-Clarkston
visitor to the fair the best exhibit
ton of free attractions ever assem-
bled in the northwest.
| All of these features will be new
and novel, and already steps are be
ing taken to sign the best features
that are sent into the western cir
cult this season. The fair manage
| ment has always favored the free
attraction feature and their actor
has met with the approval OF the Wis
itors and this endorsement has lei
the management this season to ma
terially enlarge on this feature o
the fall entertainment.

KICK ON PHONE SERVICE.
Parties Find It Far From Its Usual
Efficiency.

While there has been no settle

the operators of the Pacific Tele-
phone and Telegraph company and
the company management, many
business men are anxious that some
settlement be reached or other ar
rangements perfected by which the
former esrvice may be restord.
During the past few days there
have been numerous complaints OF
being cut off while in the midst OF
conversation, and a delay OF sew
eral minutes before the connection
can be restored. The switchboards
are still in the hands Of the Spokane
operators, and at this time there
seems to be no prospect Of settle
ment between the former operators
and the telephone company.

BLACK CROOK
IS MODERN|zED
NEW VERSION OF POPULAR Elk
TRAvAGANzA, WITH MUSIC
DANCING AND BEWuDERING
COSTUMES.

An elaborate and mOdern1Zed YER
sion OF 'The Black Crook" staged
and produced by Miller & Plohn.
will be the attraction at the Tenn
pie Wednesday, April 8. About the
only feature of the oldtime version
of this extravaganza that has been
retained by the producers is the fam
ciful story. somewhat similar to
Goethes Faust" around which
the numerous scenic effects are
built.
The story deals with the love of a
youthful pair called Rudolph and
Amina. Near them dwells an old
necromancer named Hertzog and
popularity known as the Black
Crook. Hertzog has entered into an
unholy pact to deliver to Zamiel,
the arch fiend, one soul a year in
return for an additional years lease
on life, and the evil choice of the
old magician falls upon the lovers,
possibly directed by the appeal of
the wicked Count Wolfenstein, who
asks Hertzog's aid in securing the
lovely Amina for himself.
From this picturesque nucleus Is
developed numerous thrilling ex-
periences and hair-breadth escap IS
for the lovers, who, in their des-
perate fight, take the audience with
them through strange, startling and
enchanting realms, winding up with
beautiful vision of a journey from
the tropics to the land Of the mid
night sun.
The theme affords unlimited lati.
tude for scenic and spectacular eff
fects, and it is said that with the
aid of modern inventions and intri-
cate electrical devices the producers
have succeeded in constructing an
, unusually beautiful and pleasing en-
tertainment. Instead of the old
fashioned ballet features, the more
modernized dances of comedy
chorus will be rendered, in con.
junction with a strong vaudeville
turn by the celebrated team Pierc.
and Roslyn, presenting quic1
change costume singing act. Th'
Donazetta family, foreign aero
battle troupe of note, is also an add
tional feature of interest, and thu
vivacious Bessie Browning In
clever act of limitations.
The principal roles in the produc
ton are filled by well-known com
edians and entertainers. THE Blacl
Crook" has not been seen for so lonl
that 1t comes now almost as nov
city. 1t would be interesting t
compare the old spectacle with tn
newer style of musical comedy wer
it not that Messrs. Miller & Plohr
1t is said, have SO modernized tn
"Crook" that it will bear small re
semblance to the original. Their
are no ballets in this up-to-dat
"Black Crook" their places bein
taken by big musical numbers pu
on in the most approved OF moder
styles.

Lshigh Valley Train Blocked
Crossing and Driver MAIDS a

CARS WENT OFF ~"
Railroad Officer Seeks Warrant for
Offenders Arrest but There is a
Question About it Because Of
Clogging of the Tracks.

John Lovalanne, thirty-two years
old, of 20 Parker street, was arraign-
ed before Recorder Pickersgfll this
morning on a charge of malicious
mischief, preferred by Special Officer
James McDermott of the Lehigh VAL
ley railroad.
Oflcer McDermott said that, on
Tuesday night, Lovalanne cut line
of cars at the grade crossing near
the round house, causing three cars
to run off the "Y," at the end of the
track. 1t is declared that the cross
ing Is right of way on the Meredith
property leading from Parker street
and that the railroad company blocks
it with a line of cars frequently.
In past years there has been con-
siderable trouble over this crossing.
On Tuesday night, 1t is said. Iowa
lame wanted to drive across the
track with his horse and wagon. He
was going for load of wood and,
finding cars blocking the crossing, he
uncoupled them to make passage
way, is is asserted
1t is believed that the foreigner
tried to stop them but was unable to
work the brakes and they ran off the
"Y." One of the three box cars
which were loaded with asphalt. was
smashed and the other two jumped
the track. 1t was necessary, on Wed.
nesday morning, to get steam der
rick out to clear away the debris.
Recorder Pickersgill this morning
advised Offlcer McDermott to confer
with Judge Lyon counsel for the lie
high Valley railroad, before taking
action, as he was doubtful II any
thing could be done to Lovalann,
owing to the fact that the crossing
was blocked, which the recorder sait
the company had no right to do.
Mr.. McDermott said he would d.
so and the recorder added that, |
they decided to push the case, h
would issue warrant for Lovalanne
who was told to go home.
