who had recently come from Worcester to
work for Pellet Brothers on the new
schoolhouse. With five companions Mad
igan went to the brook to battle about S
O'Clock. He was probably seized with
cramps after entering the water. for he
suddenly called out to his companions for
a pole to rescue him While they were
looking for one or for some other means of
rescue, he sank and was drowned. The

This drowning makes the fourth fatal
accident Of the kind at this place in the
brook in recent years. Eight years ago the
two Steers boys were drowned there while
bathing. -Four years ago the young son of

day evening has aroused much discussion
as to the possibility of doing away with
this death trap. In the opinion of compe-
tent men VINO have examined the locality
the ledge on the Brook street side might
be blasted out in way to obviate the dan
ger, or 1t is possible that the current of the
brook might be changed. The hole prob
ably could not be filled up in way to re-

THE OPERA PRISCILLA -
A. IL VIII BE Presented in BrattIcboro
the Coming Week

The musical event OF the summer season
will be the charming comic opera. "Pris-
ella. or the Pilgrims Proxy" which is to
be given at the town hall on the evenings
OF July . and 20. The opera is based on
LonGtellow'S poem, The courtship of
Miles Standish, and is the Joint produc-
ton OF Henry d. Coolidge, the librettist.
and Thomas W. Surettt the composer.
The dialogue is in verse and the humor
throughout is delicious. 1t is burlesuue.
without shadow of coarseness. and the
mosaic of fun and sentiment is deftly con
structed. These authors are the first TO
10 show that the Puritanic life and tradi-
tons are capable of humorous operate
treatment, and their effort has been crown
ed by success.
The historical personages who appear in
the opera are doughty Miles Standish. the
haShtul and obliging John Alden. the dig
nined GOV Bradford Squanto. the Indian
friend OF the colonistS, and Barbara, whom
Standish eventually marries. The more
strictly comic work is given to fictitious
characters, among whom are Resignation.
the susceptible middle-aged spinster, and
Hatebad Higgins, agent of the "MayiloW-
err and president of the ancestral relic
and antlquated heirloom company. This
latter worthy is a combination of hypocri-
sy and Yankee enterprise, and his various
money-making schemes and his comiCal
love-making 10 the COY Resignation afford
much merrment.
The cast has been carefully selected
several of the leading characters being
taken by out-of-towu singers, The com
plete cast is given in an advertisement in
