Rice's Surprise Party well known as one of the very be3t comedy and musical organization of the present decade, will appear at the opera house. Ssturday evening, Nov. 25. Our amusement going people must not confound the Rice Surprise Party with an organization traveling last season under the name of Rice's "Evangeline" company. The Detroit Evening News says: "'Pop,' as given by Bice's Surprise Party, proved to be a very laughable entertainment melange, whioli was heartily enjoyed by a crowded house at the Detroit last evening. John A. Mackay's imitations, and the specialties of George Fortescue, Kate Castleton Irene Perry and May Stembler were excellent. In the fourth act Mr. Wheelock rose to grandeur. It was the height of the romantic and emotional school of acting. In the interview with Maude his dignity and pathos were combined in a manner that left nothing to be desired. His discoverv of his'f nend's treaeherv cave er and forcé to his anger. And in the final scène of the act, where he exposes the villainly of that friend, and beats him, the suppressed passion, finally culminating in an outburst of rage and violence, in which the ennnciation rang out clear as a bell, and there was not a touch of rant,] brought down the house with a ;hunder of applause, that would not be aatisfied until Mr. Wheelock appeared jefore the curtain. The actor in Harry Thornhill, adds another to his many triumphs.- Portland Press. Ann Arbor Argus: Passing downstreet yesterday our attention was called to the arge display of cloaks and dolmans in 'ront of Back & Abel's store. While examming them we were invited by one of ,heir popular salesmen to step inside and visit their cloak department. After investigation, we must confess that we were much surprlsed at the immensa dis :lay of all kinds of garments, consisting of silk dolmans from $18 to $50, silk circulars, silk and plush lined, black cloth dolmans from $9 to $40, black cloaks from $1.50 to $14. Never before have we seen good cloaks at $1.50, $2, and $2.25; ïandsome light cloaks from $3 to $15. Chey claim to sell more goods in this ine than any other house in the county. We recommend the ladies of Ann Arbor and vicinity to visit Bach & Abel's cloak department if they want anything in that line.

Hayden & MoLay of Ann Arbor, and it is a most beautiful specimen of mason work, unquestionably the most perfect in all respecte to be found in the country. The transformation of the common boulder stone into such beautiful blocks is of itself a marvelous work.

"The Honeymoon," which the class m dramatic elocution, in the high Bchool are to present next Tuesday eventng, was written by Jonn Tobin, an English author who died in 1804. It is justly considered one of the classics of English comedy. The language is rich, nuont and harmonieus; the moral tone is good; and the humorous incidsuts are exceedingly effective, The history of "The Honeymoon" afibrds a remarkable instsnee of the fact that actors and managers are often the poorest judges of that species of dramatic writing, which is destined to be effective in the representation. Poor Tobin found it impossible to persuade either actor or manager to take tkis piece under his protection, and to produce it upon the stage; and the disappointtd author died without knowing that he had written one of the most brilliant and successful acting comedies in the English language. "The Honeymoon" was not presented till the year suceeding his death; and then its success was almost unparalelled. The parta of "Juliania," and "Duke Aranga" have had many representatives in this country, who have won merited celebrity in those characters. In the presentation of this drama Tuesday night everything has been done that could be to adapt the high school stage to the requirements of the play. Dressing rooms, curtains, footlights, and other necessaries have been provided, and arranged in a way at once convenient and effective. The charaoters are dressed by a Detroit oostumer in first class style. The stars have practiced faithfully under the direction of Mr! Douglass; and will undobtedly give a scholarly and pleasing interpretation of the play. A small admission will be ekarged to defray expenses. Tickets may be obtained of the teachers in the high school or at Boughton's news agency.
