"The Pied Piper of HamelIn." This operetta is arranged by Mr. E. C. Morse, and, as the name suggests, is from Browning's charming poem. This is founded on an old German legend. "The first scene is laid in the market- place of the quaint, medieval city, which lats that are making life a bnrden, The citizens are trying to rouse the dull old mayor and his equally dull aldermen to some action when a traveling piper ar- river and offers to rid the town of the nuisance. The piper is gifted with a wonderful power, which, by the music of his magic flute, compels everything to to follow him where he desires. An agree- ment is made by which he promises to

The second act shows the piper charm- ing the rats, who follow the magic notes, and thus are led inte the river, where they perish, This is followed by festivi- ties, during which several specialtles are introduced. The rejoicings are iuter- rupted by the return of the piper, who de- mands his reward. But now that the pest is gone, the old mayor refuses to pay him and defies him to collect. In revenge the musician again begins to play, and the children,drawn by the magic of his notes, follow hlm. It is then too late to parley, aud the;little ones are led into an opening turn.

The High school is this year the largest since '93, and the town is receiving $237 for outside tuition for this term alone, which is more than had ever beeu ro- ceived for an entire year before.

Notwithstanding oue new department bas been added to the public schools this fall, all the departments are larger than ever before, owing to the number of new pupils who are attending. This will add

somewhat to the expense, as indicated by the bills brought before the board for approval.

The Medway cars, which formerly ac- commodated the pupils of our schools nicely, are now very unsatisfactory. Pupils from Carsville now are either obliged to leave home at 6.20 or start later and wait fifty five minutes upon the road. It is boped this will be remedied in some way.

rear of the lot, the church along the western boundary and the rectory alatry the eastern boundary. It is planned to build thexe structures one at a time wherever there is money iu hand for the purpose. It is contrary to the pol- icy of the mission to build on borrowed money, therefore the construction will proceed only as fast as funds are avail. able

All the buildings planned are to be of rough field atune laid with "wiped" joints. The walls will be low and mass. ive and the architecture will follow that of the English parish type quite closely. It will probably be a good many years before the whole grony of buildings is complete lint it is hoped that oue of them may be begun this fall and occupied withli the coming yenr.

The design of the parish house calls for a large central hall with many smaller rooms to be used for various secular pur- poses. A "cloister" along the front of the parish house will connect the rectory with the church. The buildings will be so plavad that a small square court yard, open to the street, will give an effective setting to the group.

The scheme worked so well that Willie tried it successfully on Anna Stone at 83 Abin street. He was now $8 ahead of ot the game. His next victim was Mrs. Harvey D Everett at 335 South Main street.

A play which gives a wholesome les. son, while arousing the sympathies of the spectators and arousing them now to tears, now to laughter, is "Ten Nights in n Barroom," a forceful drama now launched upon another season of success. It is a play for the family, young aud old. It is a relaxation from erre aud worry, a force in character building through ex citing anch feelings and sentiments as lend to develop and strengthen a man. It is universal in its power to interest, lo move aud to amuse, for it deals with ex- perleuce common to mankind, though specialized by a chosen environment. It will be produced by a fiue company at the Opera house this evening. There will be a concert by the show band at 7.30 in front of the Opera house.

This effort ou his part has met with public approval, with the result that theatres are crowded at every per formance.
