VOI.IJNTFER ORGANIST.
At the Grand Opera House. St. Paal.
Much interest is attached to the forthcoming production of "The Volunteer Organist," which win be seen a f the Grand Opera House next week, and close the regular season at that playhouse. The play is of the pastoral order, and is an idyll in its way. The story of the drama is simple, and is blended with genuine comedy and exceptional pathos. Advance criticisms of the show speak in glowing terms of the cast and scenic effects. There is not a dull moment throughout the play, and the plot is never permitted to lag. It might be likened to several other well-known plays of the pastoral sort in the quaintness of the character presented and in the realism of its reproduction of phases of rural life, but it differs from the usual run in some ways also. It is without such time-worn melodramatic elements as a deep-dyed villain, a persecuted heroine,. an old will and a murder; and furthermore, it is constructed out of a popular song instead of out of a popular novel. The story it tells is of every-day people in a New
Chase's Lyceum Theatre, Baltimore, and the reports which have preceded it from that city are all of a most flattering character.
Each and every production made by the company will be provided with an elaborate scenic investiture and special attention will be paid to the detail of costuming, etc.
In view of the especial fitness of the Grand Opera House for stock productions and with the very excellent companies which have been engaged to appear, one of the most enjoyable stock seasons that St. Paul has ever witnessed may be anticipated.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING.
The members of the executive committee of the general cdmmittee having in charge the arrangements for the meeting of the National Afro-American Council are requested to meet at the office of Dr. O. D.. Howard in the Globe building next Tuesday, May 20th, at 5:30 o'clock sharp.
F.«L. McGHEE, Chairman. J. Q. ADAMS, Secretary.
England hilltown, with the common touches of sentiment and humor, and the sermon it preaches is the good old sermon on temperance in physical indulgence and liberality in religion. The danger in alcoholic intoxicants, the wickedness of hypocrisy and the saving grace of sincere religious professions and strictly moral conduct are all properly shown. Among the special features are the singing of popular favorites like "The Holy City," with special scenic effects by Master Johnnie Nelson, a boy soprano, and the introduction of two handsome St. Bernard dogs in, a life-saving act. Four distinct, massive sets of scenery are carried by the company, together with every electrical device known that could possibly enhance beauty of the piece. Besides a force of stage carpenters and electricians with the company, it is always necessary to -greatly augment the regular working force at the theatres where "The Volunteer Organist" plays to facilitate the handling of the scenery and properties the drama calls for.
Sunday night, May 25th, the Percy Haswell Stock Co., of Baltimore, under the direction of George Fawcett, will inaugurate the summer stock season at the Grand Opera House, presenting as the opening bill William Gillett's fine comedy, "Because She Loved Him So." The Haswell Co. is unquestionably one of the finest''stock organizations in America today and includes a list of players such as is seldom seen in stock productions. This splendid organization will be seen here for a period of seven weeks* presenting a number of the latest metropolitan successes. "I •

Amateur baseball enthusiasts have kept things humming during the past few weeks, with the result that local diamonds are overcrowded and the air is full of challenges from ambitious teams. The play has been confined largely o the city, although a few of the local teams have ventured outside to try conclusions with the ambitious amateurs of other towns.

The ice bill—not the first cost—is the expense of a refrigerator. Perfect circulation, us ing a l l t h e co ld air, is possible only with our siphon system. After the fresh cold air goes down from the ice chamber, then up through the food compartment, it id drawn by the siphon bacfc to the ice chamber. Here all the impurities' and odors are -, condensed. This air passing into the food compartment is pure—no taint of i fruits or vegetables. The walls are of extra thickness and filled with our own' prepared non-conducting packing. They cost more than any refrigerator walls made, and are the best non-conductors and cold retainers. This system gives average temperature of 38 to 42 degrees: Ordinary refrigerators or ice boxes 52 to M degrees—same ice consumption. E n a m e l e d removable shelves cleans perfectly and easily with a moist cloth. No typhoid—healthful cleanliness.
