The Choral Society AchHsves a Great
 Eirst Nfehtss Success.

Tho Choral Society," Achlsves Great
 Elrst Nteht's suecesss
 For first night production ssPris- cilla," as presented by thief Choral so- ciety last evening, in the opera house, was a success of which the members and Director Bartlett, may we'll be proud. The chcruses showed most careful training and sang in good time and with correct phrasing and intelligent especially entitled to great praise for their work. The male chorus lacked numbers, which was perhaps the only fault to be found with the general work.
 The whole story of course centered around Priscilla. Mrs F. A. Smith of Hartford acted and sung the part in a highly satisfactory manner. Mrs Smith possesses soprano voice of great power and sweetness, and displayed consider able dramatic. ability. She was repeat edly encored .and after her duo with Standish in the first act received a boquet of roses. l.. L. Buffem, kof Boston shared the honorsl with Priscilla. As Myles Staudish he had an excellent opportunity to display his magnificent voice, and he made the most of it. He has a won derful range and sings with dramatic force. W..H. Dodd of Boston, as Hate Dao higgins, kept the audience in a roar. He sang topical song, with local application, that brought down the house, and responded to several encores. His love scene with Resignation was one of the best bits of acting in the opera. Miss M. J. Russell, as Resignation, en- tered with great zest into the spirit of the play and ably seconded Higgins efforts to make fun. M. J. DaIy as Governor Bradford, acted we'll his part, and James Strong as John Alden, a diff dent lover and friend in need, had fseveral pretty solos. The three May flower buds, Mrs Joseph A. Jackson, Miss B. Coogan and Miss Lizzie De laney, sang and acted without affecta- ton and were good leaders .of the chorus. Squanto, the Indian, also did well.
 As is usual with amateurs, much of the dialogue was conducted in such a low tone that it could not be readily un. derstood by the audience. And in one or two passages the speakers backs were turned 10 the audience. This should be avoided, as the most powerful voice be- comes lost when directed toward the rear of the stage. There has been a large sale of seats for tonight.

RAILROAD MEN DISSATISFIED.
New England Employees Who Do No
 Need New Clothing


 Need, New Clothing.
 The new uniforms which New Eng land road conductors and brakemen must secure before May 27 consist of a Prince Albert coat trimmed with oval brass buttons, blue vest and trousers and broad visored cap. The payment for these uniforms is to be deducted from the wages of the employees begin ming this week. The first instalIment is $3. After this $4 will be deducted each week until the uniforms are paid for. The suits will cost the conductors S17 and the brakemen $15. The hats will cost $1.S0 extra.
 The first of this year an or Ter was issued requiring all officers to provide themselves with the uniforms which are now being used on the road, The change was from sack coats to cuta- ways. This made it necessary for each conductor to buy an entirely new suit, Many conductors have just purchased new suits of this style. The others are practically new as they have been worn but a short time.
 With the brakemen and other officials this is the first order for a change, Many of these, however, have just bought new suits of the old pattern. which must be- discarded under the new regulation.

AIissing Thomaston C7irl Found

THoMAsToN, April 19-The missing daughter of Thomas Ducksbury, was found last night about four miles from her home. Where the girl passed the preceding night, or what induced her to wander away, is not known, as the girl, who is partly an imbecile, tells a ram bling incoherent story of her doings. She had suffered no violence. It is a mystery where the girl managed to hide herself, and so successfully elude the searching parties who were looking for her.

Zone of the most common and annoying
effects of catarrh is a continual dropping i'll
the back part of the throat, which is espe-
cially noticed while lying down in bed. A
person so affected will drop off to sleep only
to awake presently from the irritating
trouble. Hawking and gagging follows, and
If slumber returns the morning finds the
sufferer unrefreshed and worn out. The food
taken into the stomach decompeses, gas is
formed, causing bloating and offensive eruc-
tations. Headaches and other pains result !

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Miraculous Escape of Employees
in the Lower Electric Works.

A terrific explosion that shook the
entire building and was heard over a
halfmle from the scene occurred at
7:30 last evening III the engine room of
the st. Paul Gas Light conpany's cleo
trio light plant OH Washington street
The explosion was caused by the burst
ing of a l0-lnch pipe used to carry steam
from the boilers to one of the big en-
gines The pipe broke directly over
the engine and was hurled against the
wall, while debris was scattered in
every direction. The location Of the ac-
cident was in the west side of the room,
and at the time it occurred Assistant
Engineer Cline WAS standing under the
pipe and full in the way of the
escaping steam. He was thrown sew
eral feet away, and picked up by his
fellow wOrktien for dead. A physician
was hastily summoned and revived the
man, who was badly scalded about the
face and hands and had several deep
cuts on both arms. His escape hoat
instant death was miraculous. Ferdig
nand Putz, an Oiler, had a deep cut i'm
his right leg, and the other men at
work in the room were unhurt. Gen.
eral Superintendent Ellison, of the gas
plant, SaIC it was only once in thOu5
sand times that All accident OF so seri9
Gus nature occurred without killing
two or three men. and he considered
the escape Of the employees as simply
miraculous. The plant was of necessity
shut down, and the city electric lights
were turned Off The wreckage Will be-
cleared today and the city lighted ass

Imposing Services in Honor

Thirty-fve years ago the citizens of
st. Paul erected what was then con-
sidered stately structure in the shape
of new city hall. Today the ruthless
hand of progress is despoiling that an
cient landmark, whose destruction calls
forth so many memories Of pioneer
days, both to old and young. 1t was
strange coincidence yesterday at about
the noon hour, when the hand of labor
was stayed for short spell,
that the Junior Pioneers. who
were returning from the burial
of a deceased member, should
come by in body; and it was happy
thought that occurred to them that this
was the last chance they would ever
have to secure photograph of this
tme-worn and historic structure sur
rounded by those who at the time of its
erection were little toddlers going to
school in an adjoining building, and
playing marbles across the street in
what is now Rice park. Another
strange occurrence was that at the same
hour three hon0red citizens came along.
as though by appointment, each
one OF whom can relate great
deal of history connected with
that Old building. and each one
OF whom has served the people within
its sacred portals in an official capacity.
These three gentlemen were Hon. John
5. Prince, ex-mayor Of st. Paul, who
presided over many deliberative body
in council assembled for the welfare of
the struggling and infant city; Capt.
0'ConnOr. who for many years prepared
and read the minutes of council pro-
ceedingS forsmany sessions and Robert
&. Smith, who, III his Official capacity,
has passed from this humble structure
to the stately editice from which he now
50 successfully governs large and
prosperous city.
The wish was father to the thought,
and no sooner had the suggestion been
made than Il self-appointed committee

The S. RATE.
The Purpose for Which It Was
Adopted During the Month
Of March.

The physicians of the Copeland Medi-
cal Institute make certain clear and dis
tinct claims as to their superior skill as
specialists and the thorough and sue
cessful character of their methods.
They state that they are prepared by
education. facilities, training and expe-
rience to cure diseases that have long
resisted the ordinary methods. They
recognize the right of those interested
in determining the value of their claims
to have an opportunity at a small ex-
pense. Therefore:
