JOINS CIRCUS Fred LaDelle Leaves Tomorrow for Sunny Florida. Fred C. LaDelle leaves tomorrow morning for Jacksonville, Florida, where he will join the Harris Nickle Plate Show. He has a contract with this company for a forty waeks engagement and will in all probability be gone for some time. This company open their show in the above named city some time next week and will tour all over the south for several months and will then gradually make their way north where they close the season late in the fall. Fred is certainly an artist in L his line ranking now well with Herman The Great and we predict he will open the eyes of all the south by some of his cunning work in legerdemain. We predict a good season s work for Fred

ARE YOU GOING? Adelina Patti, Famous Singer, at Indianapolis Soon. Adelina Patti will give her onlv concert in Indiana in Tomlinson hall, Indianapolis March 2. She will sing a famuos air from “Fargo,” the jewel song from “Faust,” a serenade by Gounod, and as encores “The Last Rose of Summer,” “Home, Sweet Home “and “Cornin’ Through the Rye.” She will also sing The Last Farewell,” the song at which eastern musical critics almost collapsed. The prices on this occasion will range from 32 to |5 with the boxes at 335. Critical opinion agrees that while Madame Patti's voice no longer liossesses its beautiful quality, she is interesting as an exponent of the perfect art of singing. It has been just ten years since Madame Patti.

Amusements. There are a dozen so-called “tramp" shows on the road but manager Bosse of the opera house who claims to give his patrons nothing but the best, has booked only one of this class. It is “An Aristocratic Tramp" and while having a “Wandering Willie,” he is not of that nauseating tin can calibre. The place is thoroughly high class, teaches a moral, and tells, at the same time, pathetically too, one of the prettiest stories. Kilroy and Brittorn, two of the very cleverest vaudeville stars, head one of the very best acting companies ever seen on a local stage. The scenery is lavish in every detail and the sensational features are wonderful pieces of stage mechanism. This attraction, for which seats are now selling, will be seen here for one performance only on next Thursday, Feb. 25, evening at Bosse opera house. Obituary.

High School Exercises The Washington Birthday exercises at the high school, yesterday afternoon, were very interesting, . and merited a larger patronage than they received. The decorative features were especially appropriate, consisting of beautifully draped bunting, flags and color effects, while the blackboards were adorned with stencil busts of Lincoln and Washington, and artistic class mottoes, and designs. At onethirty the program began with “America,” sung by the school. Then followed many well rendered numbers, among which the following came in order: Piano duet, by Fanny Frysinger and Winifred Johnson; George Washington, an essay, by Mae Coverdale; Piano duet, by Midge Smith and Blanche Carroll; Reading by Frances Bryson; Character of Washington and Lincoln, by Rev. E. A. Allen; Vocal solo, by Marie Patterson; Reading, bv Frances Dugan; Piano duet by Frances Merryman and Blanche Carroll; Characterization of Lincoln, by Argo Brushwiller; Chorus selection; Piano solo, by True Fristoe; Reading by Vada Martin; and Mt. Vernon's Sacred Grounds, a song, by the school. I Rev. Alien's analysis of the character of Washintgon and Lincoln, a men, was epsecially nob worthy, as they have seldom been approached from this stand point Mr. Allen showed the human habits and opinons of our two national heroes, but in such a manner as not to detract in any way from the respect due them Miss Vada Martin also deserve* mention from the perfect manner in which her seloetion was deliver ed, she so mastered and rendered the subject that her audience seemed to see and hear the incidents and characters she portrayed. Miss Luazdder, instructor of music and English, is responsible to a great measure for the success with which the program was carried out. for she grasped every opportunity to improve the talents and efficiency of the participants.
