NEW HARTFORD.

The comic operetta, "R. B. Porter, or the Interviewer and the Fairies" that was given last Wednesday and Friday nights in Town hall to enthusiastic audi ences was given exclusively by home talent under the direction of Professor $. A. Weaver. The professor himself took the part of the interviewer and it was of course most admirably done. Miss Lucy Stone as Madam Blue" was the impersonation of strong minded literary woman. Her reportorial staff, consisting of E. N. Morehouse, Harry Gates, Hugh Nellis and F. A. Adams were particularly amusing in their sto- len nap. Skip" the colored office boy, who was so diverting, was not easily identified as Andy McPherson, so we'll known to us all. The chorus of type setters consisted of some dozen or more pretty girls. Miss Hallie A. Smith was a charming queen of the fairies. Her costume was pink and white. Miss Clara B. Frazier in blue costume was lovely personation of "Somnia, the dream queen; her singing was remarka- bly good and elicited much applause. Miss May Beck as Stella" the star fairy, was dressed in cream costume covered with stars and was captivating ly coquettish while duping the inter- viewer. Miss Hattie Case as "Puck, '" the doorkeeper of fairyland, was in cherry colored tarletan. Her stage presence was admirable. The chorus of fairies was a delightful feature It was composed of 16 little girls in span gled white dresses, with wings and wands; the grotesqueness of the gnomes who were the guardians of the fairy dell enhanced the lovliness of the fairies by contrast. The stage setting was in good taste and in scenic effect, charming tab leaux, distinct enunciation both in sing ing and speaking there was nothing to be desired. The operetta was given free to the children of the town Friday night and their happy faces were the best of thanks to the kind hearts who were so generously thoughtful for the little ones. From every side is heard the desire for a repetition and it is hoped that Professor Weaver may be induced to at least once more bring be- fore the public of New Hartford this most charming of operettas.

Declared Uncon-titutIonaI.

The Easterhrook company of this city was informed by telegraph June 1G of a decision in test case in the Court of Appeals of New York, concerning the law prohibiting sale of oleomargarine in this state. The decision was announced at Saratoga, where the court is in ses- sion, and declares the law to be uucon- stitutional. This decision is considered to be final victory for the oleomargar- inc manufacturers and to establish q precedent which will be recognized all over the world as has that in the Wy mehamer liquor case decided 30 years ago. The oleomargarine manufacturers will reap an almost immediate benefit as the decision comes Tn time to arrest operation of the Pennsylvania prohibi- tory law, which was to take effect July l.-Ner Harea Palladium.

An exchange says: "A lady living in Massachusetts suburban village was chairman of the Sabbath-school con- mittee, whose duty it was to get, among other things, motto to fill a certain blank wall space in the Suuday-school room. The dimensions of the space be- ing unknown, the lady arranged with her husband that he should order the motto at once upon receipt of tele- gram next day from his wife giving the motto chosen and the measurement of the space 1t was to fill. Imagine the gentleman's surprise the next morning, after he had forgotten the arrangement with his wife, to receive from her the following laconic message; Reioicel for unto us a child is born nine feet long by two feet wide"
