COLLEGE VILLE.

A very large number of visitors were present at the Thanksgiving celebration, and a majority of them were alumni. At 8:15 solemn high mass was celebrated by Rev. Julius A. Siemetz, of Lafayette; a very instructive sermon .was preached by Rev. Michael Byrne, St. Ann’s Church, Lafayette. At. 10:30 a band concert was given in the gymnasium. In the afternoon Visitors and students attended the football ganfiy-'fit -Rensselaer. ..., The main feature of the celebration was the rendition on Thanksgiving evening of the “Private Secretary,” a "comedy In three acts, by members of the O. L. S. The play is certainly comedy through and through, and the youthful actors succeeded in presenting it comically and at that thouroughly so. There is nothing of the serious in any of the three acts, not even the resultant consequences of all the trickery. The “old uncles’ ” foot, the madcap nephew’s bills from extravagant debts, and the university will continue the grind of the same social routine. “Well, we too, were wild chaps in our days while at college,” and .the boys cannot be blamed too seriously. George flindelar in the title role did very well indeed, but his physical build was his hanicap, for a star first baseman is at tremendous odds to Mr. Hyde himself into a perfect mollycoddle under the glare of the footlights. As the elder Mr. Marshland, Mr. Herman Daniel was rather solemn, but withal ihe was pleasing in his acting. Mr. John Zeller as Cattermole was the surprise of the evening. There was force in his every word and action. His impulsive springs at the Private Secretary and other characters always carried the audience with him. The two nephews, Urban Koehl and Theodore Fettig, were genial college lads indeed, and their grace and easy manners were agreeably pleasant. Gibson in Mr. Leo Landoll was there with the tailor tape, but some measures fell short. The landlord, Mr. Herman Schweitzer, should by the force of his impersonation been able to collect the overdue rent. The servant and the -constabh had not much dust to stir, yet every scene on the spot. All in all the comedy was highly enjoyable, and we hope the C. L. S. will not wait over-long till they show us more of a like nature. "The following musical numbers were rendered. Briday Rose, Overture-Orchestra Laval le Smiles and Carresses—Orchestra Theo. Bendix (a) A Stein Song—Glee Club ... F. F. Bullard (b) “Out On the Deep”—Mr. Milton Dermody F. N. I-oehr Prof. W. L. Havorka, Conductor of Orchestra. Prof. W. .T. Nowak, Director of Glee Club. Rev. I. J. Rapp, Director of Play. The musical numbers were all very pleasing, especially/ the orchestra must be commended for the good work they are doing so early in the season. The glee club and Mr. Dermody’s success is attested by the encore call they received.

j Freight train No. 74, northbound, was derailed at Lowell last night. Southbound passenger, due here at 4:40 this morning, was detoured. The northbound trains were delayed. Fast passenger train, No. 30, due at 5:30, and No. 32, due at 10:12, were each two hours late, having been delayed on the C. H. & D„ east of Indianapolis. Mr. Allison Stuart gave a dinner to the attorneys employed in the Will case Tuesday evening at the Fowler hotel. The event was in honor of the seventy-seventh birthday 9# Col. Hammond. Besides the Judge Saunderaon was the only other guest. There was no speech making—just a fine dinner and a good time. Col. Hammond is honored everywhere and most of all by those who are intimately acquainted with him. —Fowler Republican Leader. , Frank A. Crosscup writes from the Canal Zone to have his paper address changed from Culebra to Gatun. He has been on the Canal police force for the past year. He will have a vacation next March and April and expects to spend it in Rensselaer. He says: “Everything from Colon to Panama City is in the best condition. The weather is tolerably hot. Give my regards to the boys of Company M and tell them to drop me a line some time. My address is F. A. Crosscup, Zone Police Sta., Gatun, C. Z., Panama.” The school moving is taking' place The high school apparatus is being moved into the new building and the 6th, 7th and Bth grades are being moved into the former high school building. When the schools re-open next Wednesday the scholars will go to the rooms they are to occupy in the future. It would be a fine thing if a public day could be arrauged at the school house so that patrons who have not hitherto been in the new building could visit it and learn how conveniently it is arranged and what the many advantages are.
