BILL
SCORES A HIT

'The goth Century" a dashing musi-
cal comedy in three scenes, is the
latest production of that managerial
genius, Jesse Las'-ey, and its pre-
sentatlon at the Garrick yesterday az
ternoon and last night more than came
up to the expectations of those who
had expected much from it. Edwin
Wilson and Thelma Fair. with a
chorus that would do credit to a three
hour musical comedy production. and
an array Of scenery in keeping with
the piece, do ample justice to the num-
ber. The scene showing the "2Oth
Century" with the eloping couple and
their numerous friends is one of the
startling and realistic features. The
music is catchy and presented with a
dash and vim that is altogether pleas
ing. Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Murphey in

tails of the bequest of $1,000, which
was bequeathed by the late Joseph

he said that he had been informed that
there was now an average daily at

have actuated the board in making the

cited that the former now occupied one
Of the finest schools in the city. at
Twelfth and Poplar streets. He cali
ed upon superintendent OF Schools

Mr. Twitmyer said that at the close
OF the last school term there were 50
