PARIS MAT FANS ANXIOUS TO
SEE DR.. ROLLER.

1t is seldom city the size of Paris
is favored by visit of man who
ranks as high among the worlds great
est athletes as DR.. B. F. Roller, orr
ginally, of Seattle, Wash, where he
agined the distinction of being the
worlds champion all-round athlete
That is one reason why promoter j.
M. Walls feels a particular pride in
his accomplishment of bringing the
noted wrestling physician here for a
match at the Paris Grand Opera House
Monday night with Bob Fredericks, a
heavyweight wrestler of note.
1t is generally surmised that DR..
Roller will throw Fredericks. This he
may and probably Wilde, yet Freder-
icks is sure to put up a good strug-
gle and stranger things have happen
ed than that he should come out vic
torious. Frederick defeated the pride
of Lexington three weeks age which
was a great surprise to the mat fnas
in that city.
Roller will make a short talk before
his match with Frederick on athletics.
He likes to talk and the fans like to
hear him for he is a fluent speaker.
The preliminary will start at S:15.
The doors will open at 1880. The seat
sale is now on.

AT THE MOVING PICTURE THEA.
RES.
Alamo.


From the Manager to the Cross"
Kalem's five-reel masterpiece, which
Manager Lowry has secured for the
Alamo today, is truly a wonderful pic
ture. 1t is probably one of the most
expensive films ever turned out and
shows with Biblical accuracy the life
of Jesus of Nazareth from His birth
in a manger to his crucifixion upon a
cross at Mount Calvary.
A reverent motion picture story pro-
duced with painstaking care in au-
thentic locations in Palestine and
Egypt. A film that is destined to be
more farreaching than the Bible in
telling the story of the perfect life and
supreme sacrifice of the Savior, in all
countries and to all peoples.
DR.. Charles H., Parkhurst, after see
ing the film, said: 81 yielded myself
unreservedly to the inuence Of the
occasion and came away from the
representation with a feeling that the
transactions of Our Lords life has
been passed to pOsterity by faithful
representation of scenes that cannot
help but have a powerful influence for
good on all who see them"
The entise surroundings Of the pic
ture are in keeping with the dignity
of the subject.
In one scene a wonderful effect is
produced by the figure of the All
Mysterious, solemnly passive Sphinx,
keeping guard in the pale moonlight
and Joseph lying asleep beneath.
There are five reels to this great
picture and you should see it by all
means. The News can truthfully say
that you will never regret it.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
Of Western High School Held Wednes-
day Evening.

The commencement exercises Of
the colored, or Western High School,
were held at the Public School audi
forum Tuesday night, and were high
ly creditable in every respect. The
graduating class numbered twelve,
seven young women and five young
men.
Those of the number who had ora
lions, acquitted themselves with the
greatest ease, there was not the
slightest hesitation in presenting their
addresses, nor the least degree of en-
barrassment. Thee horuS work was
especially fine, the instructor of music,
Miss Stephenson, being an accom-
plished pianist and most successful
teacher.
Prof George w. Chapman gave the
address to his graduates and the
diplomas were presented by DR.. F. l..
Lapsley, secretary Of the School
Board. The school has done good
work during the past year, the prin-
cipaI, Professor Wood, is a splendid
man for the position, and he has been
assisted by an excellent corps OF
teachers.
