The remarkable success of Mr.. Dona-
WINS first play, ''Stolen Kisses" has en-
couraged him to attempt second. .Dal-
sy Dean'' is intended as companion play
to ssStolen Kisses but is entirely unlike
it in plot, motive, situation, scene ana
character. Many writers are always the
same,-you see one of their plays and
Won see them all. Mr.. Donavin is an ex-
ception to the general rule, and in Daisy
DEAN you will find many new and unex-
pected good things, The first two acts
are laid in Australia, the second on board
ship, and the last in America. In this
play the ship scene in the third act is
particularly pleasing. Miss Mora is ex-
ceedingly agreeable as Daisy Dean, and
well supported by Miss LIE Verne as
Ethel Dean, Miss Lillian Dix as Nancy
Gregg and Aunt Lucinda, ]. NJ. Donavan
as Herbert Elliott Harry. DriscoH as
Mr. Randall, and the other characters by
the company.
Tonights'Canny's Crossroads will be

Stockbridge Regular.
Seats should now be secured for the
next Stockbridge regular, on Thanksglv-

Madame Tavary gave for her first Sc
lection the grand aria from LA Travla-
tai and it was wonderful performance.
Miss Campbell appeared at her best in
the duet with Madame Tavary, which
was one of the gems of the programme.
Del Puente gave for his first song the Sc
lection that is the masterpiece OF his tine
.repertory, and has done more than any
thing to establish his reputation as one
of the foremost baritones. 1t was the
Toreador's song from Carmen sung
by him in the festival concert in this city
in the spring of 1891. 1t was grandly rem
dered, and the audience applauded again
and again
Henry Irving has just made curious
addition to his collection of relics of Ed
mund Kean. 1t is not generally known
that Kean, on October 18th, 1926, was
elected at Quebec a chief and prince of
the Huron tribe of Indians, by the name
of Alanienouidet. An engraving is ex-
tant of Kean fully attired as warlike
Indian. Recently, the original costume

The Bryant,s Pond Mystery.

It is believed that the man found dead
in the woods near Bryant's Pond village,
recently, was Summer Plaisted of Naples.
Plaisted was lost about year ago. It
was known that on October 80, 1891, he
bought ticket from Boston to Oxford,
Me-, and this was the ticket that was
found on his person. But the real id en-
LITIGATION came from the watch. Mr..
John Fl. Caswell, jeweler of Bridgton,
cleaned Plaisted's watch for him a little
while before he went to Boston, and as
is his custom he kept a record of the
number of the same.

Cumberland County Inventor Ha
Solved a Great Problem.

Cumberland County Inventor Has
Solved a Great Problem.
Mr.. Fred d. Harding of Baldwin,
whose ingenious inventions and expert
ences in the United States Pension Of
flee have been told of in the PRESS, has
recently added to his list of inventions
that of a DISTINGUISHING machine that
will really surpass natures old contriv-
ance, the one which has been in use for
SO many centuries. There have been
invented many dish-washing machines
in times past. Some of them have been
like churns, some like thrashing MAJ
chimes and some much like clocks in APP
pearance and mechanism; but all of
them have had too much machinery and
too little of dishwashing capacity to earn
a lasting place in the household. Mr..
Harding's machine is almost as simple
as the housewives elbow, and has the adj
vantage that it is not subject to those feel
ings of dissatisfaction that have interior
ed so seriously with working of the old
device from immemorial time. The new
machine consists of large pan, in
which is simple force-pump device
that throws hot water in strong jets
against every part of the dishes, which
are piled within it. Cups, cans, plates,
platters, knives and forks, spoons and
whatever else is to be washed. come out
clean and hot, all ready for wiping, or
even for being put away without WHIP
ing. The housewife doesn't have to put
her hands into the water, does the work
in five minutes when it took Is or 30
minutes before, and is generally in a
state of great happiness. Uncle Sam is
usually very cautious about granting pa
tents for these machines, SO many of
them have been failures; but when the
Baldwin inventor appeared with this
machine under his arm, he issued pa
tent to him at once. Those who have
seen the machine working at Nelson
Tenney's are as pleased as Uncle Sam
was.

VERMONT LEGISLATION.

MONTPELIER, VT, Nov. 1st.-The
Legislature has been in session four
weeks to-day, during which period 129
Senate and $50 House bills have been in
troduced, making total of AS bills
presented for the action of the Legisla-
ture. Up to the present time % bills
have passed both houses and become
laws. OF this number 13 relate to cor
porations and nine are amendments to
existing laws.
all the proposed measures of impor-
tance remain to be considered by the
General Assembly, including bills making
the town system of schools compulsory,
amending the Australian ballot law, ap-
propriating an additional fifteen thou
sand dollars for the Columbian Exposi-
ton, establishing Board of Medical
Censors in the State, providing for better
roads, increasing the authority of the
State Board of Health, improving the
Nationally Guard of Vermont, creating
the city of Rutland, changing the form
of legal process in the trial of causes
restricting investments by savings bank
and trust companies, bill to pardon
AlmOn Meaker, for new jails in Benning-
ton and Franklin Counties, authorizing
towns to grant licenses for sale OF liquors
when towns so vote, establishing naval
battalion, granting suffrage to women
and for weekly payment of wages by
corporations.
The Committee on Education have re-
ported bill amending the present school
law by providing for the establishment
of the town system of schools.
This bill will excite considerable dis
cussion, and the chances seem in favor
of its passage. The high license measure
and the Woman Suffrage bin will meet
their usual fate, defeat The Legislature
will probably pass an act looking toward
the improvement of the highways. The
Australian Ballot Law will be simplified
and made less complicated. There is no
feeling prevalent for its repeal. The
Weekly Payment bill is before the Gen
eral Committee for consideration. Bills
for the incorporation of several saving
banks have been introduced, and will,
doubtless, become laws. A bill provid-
ing for the creation of State Industrial
and Labor Bureau has been presented
and should be passed.
The Legislature will probably adjourn
the week before Thanksgiving Day.
MONTPELIER, Nov. 2nd.-The Legis-
lature got in good days work to-day,
with two fairly interesting fights in the
House and little one or two in the SEN
ate. One affair in the House, though,
and the one of the most popular interest,
could hardly be called fight, although
it was on the ground breeding endless
controversy. 1t concerns the woman
suffrage bill, which went through by
heavy vote and with no opposition at all
in debate. The thing was special order
for 1920 o'clock, and the knowledge that
it was to come up brought a large audi
ence. There were about 200 women on
the floor of the House, and all gave the
closest attention to the talk, The
speeches were all very brief and when
the result was announced the champion
of the measure, Mr.. Stafford, was re-
warded with a bouquet sent by lady in
the House. The town is full of women.
Old observers say that they never so
many here.

IN THE LIGHT OF HISTORY.

An excellent way for voters to decide
for which party they will cast their bal
lots on the Sth of November, says the N.
Y. Press, is to contrast the history of the
two great parties. The momen. anyone
begins to do this heis struck by a curious
fact, namely, that whereas the Republi-
cans invite the fullest scrutiny into their
party's history from the beginning until
now, Democrats always go back more
than fifty years before they seem to be
able to find anything at which to point
with pride. We hear from them a great
deal in this campaign about Thomas JEFF
-ferson and Andrew Jackson. 1t is eighty
three years since Jefferson ceased to be
President. 1t is fifty-fve years since
Jackson ceased to be President. Does
anybody ever hear from Democratic
stump speaker or read in Democratic
organ about President elected by that
party from Jackson to Cleveland?
The list is a considerable one. 1t in
cludes Van Buren,, Polk, Pierce and Bu-
chanan, to which they are welcome to
add the three renegades whom they did
not slect but did seduce-Tyler. Fillmore
and Johnston. As for Grover Cleveland,
he was elected once and nominated three
times, not because the real loaders of the
parry CDOSo ullu, UuJ DOCduSO IL was
thought he might win with the help of
those political nondescripts for whom
the genuine head of the party, Senator
Hill, has so often and so lately expressed
in public speech his hatred and con-
tempt.
Now look at the Republican muster
roll. 1t contains these names: Lincoln,
Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Har-
rison. 1t begins with the beginning, and
reaches to this present hour. OF not one
name on that list is the party ashamed.
For not one law enacted or policy pur-
sued by the Republican party in all the
years of its hi tory is there the slightest
need of apology. The story of a nations
deliverance from the curse of human
bondage, victory over rebellion, emer-
gence from crushing debt, attainment of
unexampled prosperity, advance to a
place in the front rank among the powers
of the earth, growth beyond parallel,
glory undimmed by any stain, is the story
of Republican administrations and Re-
publican supremacy in the legislative
halls of the Republic.
Judged by the standards of achieve
ment, seen in the light of onward prog
ress, weighed in the balance of truth,
which party is it that has the betterclaim
upon the suffrages of intelligent and pa
triotic citizens? There is but one posi-
BILE answer. 1t is the Republican party.
