side and were under weight. The con
tent wee to be decided on skill and en

A Laughable Play But a Small House
at the Academy.
Only ft- very slim crowd /went out to
see ooe of the best farce-comedies that'
has been hejys this season, but those
who stayed away missed a good thing,
ns /hey did when they missed Char
ley’s Aung. With Barney Ferguson In
the Cominnyi It could hardly bo other
wise. Ferguson is as good, or better,
in “Duffy's Blunders” as he was in
‘iilcGurthy’s Mishap*,” and, with a
few exceptions, is supported by a strong
oompany. The man with the laugh
stayed away or lias gained more con
trol over his risibilities than his friends
ever diougtyc possible of nlm.
In the second act M'ss Marguerite
FergusoD astonished tho aud.ence with
kune high kicking, and did
flon act quite cleverly. The M'ssos
Nidiots did ai negro sketch which
caught the house, and they fully de
served all the applause glveni them.
Duffy In tho side-board and Duffy trad
McTurfe as acrobats wero two of tho
liost features.
The company Is a lively one and keep
tho audience in a. thoroughly good hu
mor during the entire performance.
(Between the second and third acts
Mr. Will Harrington rendered some
very pretty music on h s new instru
ment, the "epystalphone.” Among the
wdeettons played was “Mammy's Cra
dle Song.” the music of which was .writ
ten by Professor Card. Thlft song won
the prize at the Dixie Fa’r. The “orys-
talphotto” Is constructed upon tho samo
plan as the xylophone except that the
material from which tho music Is ex
tracted Is of glass nstead of wood. It
is Mr. Harrington’s Own Idea and was
made throughout by himself.

junction With /the attorneys of fhe
road.
The office Is one of salary arid ex
penses raid Is under control of the
oaurt, but the salary and expenses are
paid by the receiver*.
The a/ppodnitment of Col. Locke ts
regarded os a good one. No man would
/more faithfully discharge the duties of
the office or fill It mere intelligently.

confidence of tlhe community.

PROFESSOR ZETTLEB.
A Stroog Probability That He ‘Will Be
School Commissioner.
Now that it seems almost certain
that Professor Pollock will decline tho
school eommlssioneraliip. Interest In
(be oflloe is reopened, and itt Is believed
that Professor B. M. Zettler of tbls
city stands a good chance of securlug
the plum.
It will bo remembered that Professor
Pollock was not a candidate for the
office, although it is not generally
known , It Is nevertheless a fact that
he had written a strong personal letter
to Governor Atkinson, recommending
the appolmtmewt of Professor Zettler.
There ts not a man in tbe state more
capable of ltKIng the office of school
commissioner than Professor Zettler.
He Is peculiarly fitted for the kind of
work the office requires, and it Is be
lieved hla appointment would give gen
eral satisfaction.
