The Jamoico Dramatic Club cam,

The Jamaica Dramatic Club came
up Monday Notwithstanding the sever
ity OF the weather. it having commenced
early in the morning to snow and blow,
winding up in the afternoon with rain
that fell continuously up to midnight,
Under these conditions, our streets at
Z o'clock being all slush, it must have
been gratifying to the Club to meet
over one hundred persons at the hall,
who braved the adverse circumstances
to greet the club in "Woven Web"
The play vas well rendered the audi
ence paying close attention to it through
out All parts of the cast were SO
well carried through that it would be
invidious to particularize. After the
entertainment it was announced that
landlord Strong had ready, for all who
wished, an oyster supper. This was in
vitation enough, and a number of our
citizens of both sexes joined the club at
this pleasant and well kept house, and
not only enjoyed the supper, but a
pleasant social time up to about mid
night.
Altogether this visit from the
dramatic talent ofour neighboring town
was very pleasant, at least to our citi-
zens and we hope to greet them again
at some future time.
That the club were well satisfied is
attested by the following sent us for
publication:
Although it was our fortune to
meet the people of So. Londonderry
on the very worst kind of night-a
rainy night in winter time-yet we
want to say that through the unremit
ting kindness and attention of the
people there, that our efforts were
crowned with greater degree of sue
cess than we had any reason to expect
and our stay made so pleasant that it
will remain one of the green spots in
our memories during the years to
come. We appreciate your kindness
and we thank you for it.

MANCHESTER DEPOT,

Our enterprising harness maker,
II. p. Wheaton, who recently lost
his shop by fire, has moved an unoc-
cupied building on to the vacant lot
near his old location and will remodel
it into harness shop where he will
in few days be doing business the
same as before the fire.
Ransom Linsley has been confined
at home for several days, suffering
with severe attack of bronchitis.
Joseph Wetherbee, who has po-
sition as secretary of the Y. M. G. A.

rents here short visit last week,
while on a business trip for the asso-
citation through New York, Chicago,
New Orleans, Texas, Southern Cali
fornia and San Francisco.
The highest wind known in this VI
entity for a long time prevailed last
Friday night, but we have not heard
of its doing any greater damage than
blowing the chimney off from the
blacksmith shop connected with the
granite works, and picking up a
spring-house belonging to your cor
respondent and landing it, roof down,
on his neighbours premises.
/ noticed in the last SITTER the in.
quiry about house ventilation, and il
reply will say that such a system as
was mentioned therein has been in
vented and is in successful operation
in very many houses, not only in this
town but throughout the United
State. | refer to the popular How

time thoroughly ventilating tire
large rooms on first floor and tire
large bedrooms on second floor. Th
following brief description will Civ
an idea of how the ventilating apara
tus works. A tube four inches i
diameter passes from an aperture i
base of stove down through floor an
out through underpinning or celia
window, called fresh air pipe. Pipe
from side aperture also pass aroun
fire box up through stove and connet
with open work in top of stove. Thi
arrangement takes fresh air from OF
doors, heats it to about 100 an
throws it out into the room. AnotE

strong draft up chimney which cal

TIC cCmniss;o ueIs ysLo ask for the an
nexation Of ,..c Hawaiian Islands par
ticularly as, fiat the country be made a
territory, not state. This is on account
of the mixed and homogeneous nature of
the population. Outside of New York city
there is probably scarcely such another
mix in the world. The native Sand
wich Islanders do not constitute even
half the population, which is 10000.
About 10000 are natives and half castles.
There are 10, coo Chinese, chiefly laborers
on the sugar plantations. 1t is an odd
fact that there are nearly as many Chi
nese and japanese as natives. There are
2o,o00 japanese.
The chief exports of Hawaii are sugar,
rice, bananas and some hides. The realm
over which Lilioukalani reigned num-
bers 10 Islands, occupying total area of
$50 square miles. Only of the Is
islands are inhabited. The capital of
Hawaii, Honolulu, is on the island Of
Oahu and has perhaps $4,000 inhabit-
ants. The great volcano, Mauna Loa,
with its many craters, is on the island
of Hawaii. Iorin A. Thurston, head Ct
the commission seeking annexation, is a
live American Yankee, though born in
Honolulu. and he has shown it by build
ing large hotel at the mouth of the
great volcano. The United States har-
Dor has already the exclusive right to a

EVERYBODY IN RICHMOND

Who can, is going to the Worlds
Fair. OF course they are, and what
is more, all of them who desire to
make a quick, comfortable trip are
going by the CHESAPEAKE & OHIO
route. There are several through
trains daily over this line, but the
best is the one leaving Richmond at
2 p. M. This arrives at Chicago
the next afternoon at 5 O'Clock, the
passengers thus being out only one
night Among the advantages of
this route, in addition to fast time,
are through Sleeping and Dining
Cars, with use of Parlor Car.
The Division Passenger Agent,
Mr.. John D. Potts, 500 east Main,
will cheerfally give any information
relating to. the trip.
