s'The Span of Life," which comes to
three nights, has no claims but as q
melodrama. bptdoes claim to be at the top
of the ladder in its particular field. .
In it the villain of the deepest diamond
dye prospers, thieves and grows fat until
in the last act ne is stripped of everything
and given the just deserts of all conspir
ing villains. He does not carry all his
points, however, for in the second act,
after numbering and robblng the hero,
who is a lighthouse keeper at this stage
of the play, and putting out the lights
and allowing the fog bell to be silent, so
as to encompass the wreck of his own
vessel, heavily insured, "a very clever bit
OF villainy) he sits down to gloat over his
triumph, when 10. the hero revives, es-
capes from the vault and climbs up out
side the lighthouse, though wounded,
and rings the fog bell, thus saving the
ship. This is very thrilling scene, and
realistically presented and would satisfy
the heart of reasonable playwright or
manager, and would DO splendidly for a
eliminating act. Not SO with the origin
ator of 'tThe Span of Life;' ne intro
duies another scene, claimed by many to
be the most stirring act of any melo-
drama on the stage today, and from
which the play gets its name. just as the
heroine and son are surrounded by savages
on the verge of a precipice, with all ave-
nues of escape cut off and death certain.
Three faithful servants, formerly aero
bats swing across the water fall, after
the style of monkeys in their native state,
and form a bridge of their bodies over
which the heroine passes in safety. This
scene alone would have made the success
of the play. At the close all ends hap
PLY and everybody is satisfied, at least
all the patrons heretofore seem to have
been satisfied.

One would think playwrights would use

T
q little common sense in writing their
plavs. Now, take Killarney for in
stance. Miss Emmett puts on
q suit of boys clothes, and,
without an effort at Disguise, passes
amongst lover, friends and enemies with
out the slightest fear of discovery. Then
again. the villain carefully treasurs the
will that robs him of all his property,
that the heroine could get them and come
into her cwn in the last act. Why the
villain should not destroy these papers is
puzzler. And then no one could make
out what was happening at the Devils
pool. Ambiguity is a playwright's great
est fault. Miss Emmett would better
drop Killarney and get better play.

A move is being made in Angus

A move is being made in Angus
ia county to establish what is term
ed a county nigh school. The
term implied will at once commend
itself to educators as being one
that will meet the demands and
needs Of the public. The plan pro-
posed by Henry L. Hoover, an acad-
envy teacher of ability and expert
ence, is to erect plain but comfort
able buildings at the most accessl-
BILE point in the counties that will
accommodate 200 or more pupils,
in which teachers and pupils alike
are to be boarded at actual cost
and also appropriate a moderate
sum to ray the teachers. MIR, Hoo
YER, in speaking of this plan, says;
captain Vawter, of the great Mil
Ter schnol, told me that the cost OF
feeding his pupils (and they are
comfortably fed too) was only S5,01
per month, making it $500 per
session. If the building be heated
by steam and four occupy room
fuel will not cost more than IS a
head per year, washing 50 and
lights $3.50, thus leaving about
$40 for books, stationary, etc. The
pupils must supply furniture
for their own rooms and plate,
knife and fork, ETC., for the table
and keep their rooms and halls in
neat order"
It is then very evident that the
advantages to be derived from e
school of this character in each
county would soon he made mani
fest as it would enable many OF
both sexes to acquire a full AGA lemiC
course, whose limited means would
debar them Of taking the same
course where tuition fees would be
required.
In addition to this, a free and
careful training in the industrial
arts, such as drawing, music, tele-
graphy, shorthand, typewriting
bookkeeping. ETC., would be given
1t is move worthy Of an effort
and we would be glad to hear the
views Of some Of our teachers rela-
tive to the scheme.

lee Gorges Broken.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 30.-The real
break of the greatest ice gorge ev-
er known in the Ohio river came
yesterday. Since then the swollen
river has been full from shore to
shore of great rolling, heAving
masses Of ice and snow, moving
with an irresistible force And carry
ing everything that lies in it's path
before it. The ferryboat Cincin-
natti was canght and torn from
her mornings, the landing float 60
ing away with her. She pushed
through the bridges in safety and
landed five miles below. Fully
one hundred barges foated down
with the ice.
Last night the Great Gorge at
North Bend broke, but there is no
material damage. At Parkersburg
there is a heavy loss. The damage
will reach $4,000, with Monroe
Miller the principal loser, At
Pomeroy the river is full of float
ing ice, but boats are in good
shape. The gorge at Bellaire broke
at noon, doing but little damage.
At Ironton there is no damage.
At Marietta the ice moved down
a few miles and gorged against the
mouth of the Musjognum river.
Full 100000 worth Of lumber was
sunk by the Kanawha. The ice
will continue to float for four or
five days. The greatest fear now is
of flood. The river is rising
rapidly at all points above. Off
Gals estimate the damage at Gin
cinnatti to be $4,000.

The first message was sent over
the Franklin and Petersburg tele-
phone line Saturday evening, dis
lance of 80 miles. This fills a long
felt want by the people of Frank
lin, as it puts them in direct COM

tages and the fluctuations Of the

In a recent issue we set forth the
advantages to be derived from a
line from Monterey to Staunton,
and we are glad to state that our
effort was not in vain; on IL e con-
trary, men with the true spirit Of
improvement and keen sense of
that which will be to our mutual
benefit have taken the matter in
hand and have with little or 10 eff
fort secured a good portion of the
amount necessary to build the line,
and we think that with little effort
the full amount can be raised. Ten
dollars constitutes a share or five
shares and upwards in the same
proportion. If persons wishing to
invest in this enterprise will send
us their names stating the amount
Of stock they wish to take we will
be glad to hand the same to the
party holding the list of stockhold-

1t Steamboat Springs, COL, a
band Of over 1 900 elk were driven
by the severe cold from the hills
down into the valley, but in so do.
ing were caught in the deep crust
ed snow and were rendered almost
helpless. Ranchmen skidded hay
out to the half-starved creatures
which they ate ravenously. They
finally forced themselves from their
temporary prison and attacked the
haystacks in the valley, taking en-
tire possession of half a dozen
ranches. The ranchmen decided
that to drive them away would
mean starvation, and left them
masters of the situation. The elk
show a remarkable degree of tame
ness and do not appear in the least
disconnected by the
presence Of the men who go to
feed them.

The last few months have been
memorable for the number Of not
ed Americans who have passed
away during their course. Among
them were the most brilliant of
American statesmen, the most dar-
ing and successful fnancier that
the world has ever seen, a soldier
distinguished for his military SER
vices but still more noted as being
the most cordially hated man who
ever trod American soil, an cx-
President and Presidents wife.
The first name on the list is that
of Mrs. Harrison, the first lady OF
the land.
The next to pass away was the
millionaire, Jay Gould, a de-
structive genius, who had brough t
misery and ruin to thousands Of
households, and who was hated as
much as Mrs. Harrison was loved.
The opposite to Butler in nearly
every respect was Justice Lamar. as
ardent a supporter Of the Southern
cause as General Butler was Of the
other side, and as much beloved by
the South as Butler was hated
there.
] The death which excited the
least interest of all was that Of ex-
President Rutherford B. Hayes,
who, Notwithstanding the high Of
fetal position he held at one time,
had won for himself neither warm
personal friends nor bitter enemies.
The last man on the list is also
the greatest. Mr.. Blaine's death
will be lamented in the east, west,
north and south, for though a re-
publican and strong partisan,
even his opponents have admired
his commencing abilities and his
incorporating Americaaism.
