ono of them:
Mark Emory Baker rooms on Church street. A cab was to
call for him about 8 o'clock, but it arrived just a trifle early,
but ho hurried down anyway, and told tho driver all right, and
jumped in. Baker is a football veteran, bo it romembered,
and when ho found himself in a cab with four sturdy Sopho
mores, a desperate encounter ensued. Windows were smashed,
and the conveyance rocked dangerously, but he was eventually
overpowered and driven away north. Here, in an upstair
room, ouo continual conflict waged. Tho table was upset, tho
lamp overturned, and tho carpet set aflame. As tho clock was
about to announce tho succeeding day, a compromise was
effected, the prisoner relented in his threats "to squeal," and
was released. With court plaster much in evidence, he ar
rived at tho scone of festivities in time for tho closing dances.

Ruy Bias.
Semi-weekly rehearsals in College of Oratory on Ruy Bias,
which is Victor Hugo's greatest romantic drama. It is based
upon Spanish history at tho time of Charles II. of England.
The story of the play affords many intensely dramatic scenes
and also a goodly numbr rof comical ones to relieve the severe
dramatic trend of tho whole. A Spanish noble seeking re
venge on tho Queen and the love affairs between the Queen
and Ruy Bias furnish tho motive of tho play. The cast, so
far as the important characters go, is:
Ruy Bias Edward Maggi
Queen Miss Ella M. Crawford
Don Caesar do Bazan Frederic Burt
Don Salluste do Bazan Frank M. Rector
Count Alba Perle Richardson
Sancho Edwin Robertson
The Duchosso Miss May bollo Crawford
Lady Casilda Miss Mina Richardson
