LOQUACIOUS FRANCE.
(From the Outlook)
The Frenchman feels compelled to
expres his thought, to make it objec
tive, to communicate it- Thought
means little to a Frenchman unless
he writes it or speaks it. We are a
people who, when we have something
to say, insist upon saying it- Some
times we are accused of not even
( waiting until we have something to
say! We’re often called loquacious
Possibly we are- But I am not sur»
that we should resent the criticism,
i The heavy, guttural, taciturn nations
have never been the foremost serv
antes of human progress- Athens
was loquacious- But compart1 her
winged words with the heavy lac
onics of Sparta and ask yourself to
which of the two the world is most
indebted.
HIGHLY APPRECIATIVE^
In behalf of the Ketchikan Ly
; ceum we the undersigned executive
j committee, wish to thank Mr. M. E.
Robinson and all who took part in
j the comic opera "Mikado” under his
j direction, for the giving of their
time and talent so generously in
' the production of one of the finest
plays ever staged in Ketchikan.

MIKADO’S LAST
i PERFORMANCE
|
-- ’I-’
Another large .and well pleased
; audience witnessed the closing per
1 l'orniance of the Mikado last even
1 ing. To some who saw both shows
| tlie second one exceeded the first,
i as both chorus and soloists seemed
: to have more confidence in them
i selves, and put more life, or so
! called ginger, in their work. Each
, performance, however, done grea:
| credit to those who took part in it.
and Ketchikan may be proud that
j it contains such dramatical men
and women, or persons as Pooh Bah
! calls them, who can put on such an
t opera as the Mikado in such an ex
I cellent manner. The Lord Bfigh Ex
' ecutioner and “Kitty” are a team
rendering of their parts took on
I more of a professional finish than
I is usually found in amateur per
; formances. While mention has been
; made of the different soloists, the
! chorus deserves a special notice by
; itself. The beautiful girls, with
| their charming costumes, made an
1 impression that will linger in ones
i mind long after the sound of their
voices have been forgotten, even
though their singing was away
above the average- On the whole
j it was a great show. Considering
; the small stage, and the number
' taking paft. The stage' pictures
were about as beautiful as is sel
i dom seen, and reflects great credit
< on Prof. Robinson’s ability as a
director in handling raw material,
and turning out such a finished pro
j duct, in so short a time. As a
suggestion, it seems as though this
present organization of musical tal
’ ent should be continued and a per
■ manent one formed for future en
1 fertainments of like character. There
are numbers of light operas, such
as Martha, Bohemian Girl, Little
Tycoon, etc-, that could be given,
i and prove the excellent ability
i shown by those who took part in
the Mikado, no doubt could be en- j
leiui'med that any other could be !
put on in the same able manner j
Let the Lyceum take this up with j
Prof. Robinson before he leaves, and j
keep this able body of singers to
gether
LiTY DADS ARE BUSY.
x The council through the street
committee is busy these days and
has ordered the work to be rushed
| A bridge across the old walk along
; the Ketchikan Creek was begun this
! morning; the work on the Cliff
I Avenue is being pushed with ali
1 speed apd the street commissioner
| is hurrying some pressing repairs
I all over the city- As one of file
citizens said today, “You never
i know how long the commissioner
| will remain at the same place, for
lie has to be here, there and every
where-”

INSPECTORS ORDER DECK
LOAD TAKEN OFF AROLINE
'Tire Post-Intelligencer of the 18th
says:. “Capt- B. B. Whitney and H.
C. Lord, United States steamboat
inspectors ordered approximately 25
tons of heavy freight taken off the
decks of the steamship Aroline, of
I the Pacific Alaska Navigation com
| pany before they would permit the
| vessel to sail for Anchorage- The
j Aroline.carried over 2,000 tons of
I heavy ^freight, mostly railroad equip
! ment.
, “The inspectors also ordered that
, the Aroline be sent North via the
inside passage- She was scheduled
1 to sail on the outside, but the in
| specters were afraid that heavy seas
! coming aboard the deeply loaded
j ship might cause a disaster. ‘By the
I time the Aroline gets to Cape Spen
j cer and the open sea she will have
j approximately 100 tons of her fuel
used and will be lighter by that
| much,’ said the inspectors last night,
i ‘We could not permit iier to sail as
she was too heavily loaded-’”
