Ward threw his arms around Setley's neck
and became so huggngly delighted that Mrs.
Setley looked twice to see that the man in
the red sweater was not woman. Even our
enemies from the patches were shouting
"Hurrah for Setley I"
After the excitement died out Fulmer went
up to the plate and the spectators cheored
again for they felt sure that the"old reliable
would bring Frank Henry home; but Setley
started from first and made an opening which
got Henry into fox chase between third base
and the home plate and the side was retired
by Nyce putting Henry out on a throw to
Potts.
The visitors did not last long in the last
half of the ninth. Patchen bagged Jordans
fly Fox touched the first bag before Reilly
could get there and McGettigan's fly dropped
into Ed. HeBrys hands. Thus closed the
best game Of the season at the TrOtting park.
Some people left the grounds with injured
feelings towards the umpire. There were
some rank decisions. Shenandoah suffered
from nearly all of them, however, and the

Our Own "Novelty Mary" Hoving IN sight
Again.
Among the theatrical companies billed for
anearly appearance in this town is one which
rejoices in the proud and lengthy title of
Latoska Operatic Spectacular Company.
According to our exchanges the company has
already appeared in several towns ofthis state
with poor satisfaction. One of the exchanges,
the Shamokin Dispatch, says the company is
composed of none others than May Davenport
and troupe of blondes and is quite bitter in
its criticism of the performance, The paper
says the company is an aggregation of female
concert hall singers and Bowery dive bouncers;
that they couldn't sing at all and didn't
dance much better. The females made a lib
eral display Of their pedal eXtremities and,
one of them captivated the gallery gods by
slugging one of the would,be actors. Con-
tinuing the paper says the performance wasa
dismal failure and many persons left the house
in disgust before the show was over and the
manager Of the theatre says he was imposed
upon by the advance representative, who
booked the company under the name of
Harry Davis instead of Harry Davenport.
May and Harry Davenport need no intro
ductiou to this community. 1t will be re-
membered that several years they were resi-.
dents Of this town and conducted five and ten
cent stores here. 1t was her connection with
these stores that gave May Davenport her
title as Novelty Mary" The announcement
that Harry Davenport had decided to give up
merchantile persuits and enter the theatrical
business created a surprise in town that was
only exceeded in effect by later discovery
that Mary had also taken to the stage and
was sailing about the country as the star
of May Davenport's Burlesque Company"

The Vermont prohibitory law has at
last got upon the stage. The play in
which it figures is Hoyt's "Temperance
Town." which was recently put upon
the boards of the Madison Square thea
tire, New York. A note on the programme
says the play was suggested by an ari-
Gle in the Montpelier Argus, "the lead
ing journal of the State, telling of the
prosecution of Kibling, who was sentenc-
ed in the Windsor county court in 1890 to
serve a term of 2l,942 days for selling
rum at Norwich. Among the characters
in the play are Ernest Ilardman, the vii
lage clergyman; Launcelot Jones, the
town drunkard; kneeland Pray, who
runs the drug store; Uncle Joe Wall, the
oldest man in town. and number of
others with equally suggestive names.
The New York Times critic is inclined to
think favIrably of the production,
though he thinks it rather coarse in
SuOtS.

PERSONAL.

Rev. Henry NJ. Goddard, a graduate
of the local college in the class of 1890
and from the theological department of
Yale college last summer, has accepted IA
call to the pastorate of the Congrega-
tional church at South Royalton.
Congressman Powers of this district
gets this notice in the Washington Post:
"rhe representative of the maple State,
who voiced its financial views in the low
er house. looks every inch the title
when is given him at home. He has the
round, substantial, conservative face of
an old-time British tory, and his oratory
is as substantial AS his physique. Most
of his speech was carefully read from
copy in Il clerkly hand, with every word
and sentence accurately weighed with
New England caution and precision.

legislator unbuttoned mis- f-ock coat

1t is stated that in this antiquated

THE AMERICAN MORGAN HORSE AND


A brief statement regarding the pres
ent status of the book with the above IT,
tie which Mr.. Joseph Battell has in the
printers hands will serve TO answer nu-
merous inquiries coming to this office
and will be of general interest as well.
Over 900 pages of the'book are already
in type more than 500 have been electro
typed. and the rest of them will be ready
for that process as soon as the final proof
is read. OF the body of the book. not
exceeding 75 pages remain to be put in
type. In addition to that there will be
an index, the copy of which is ready,
and a few pages of preface. There
seems to be no good reason why all the
type cannot be set and all the electro
type plates made within three weeks
from this date at the outside. Then the
printing can begin. The printing and
binding will be done by large establish
ments in Boston, where ample facilities
make rapid work possible.
The plates for the numerous illustra-
tions which will embellish the work are
nearly all made. 1t appears to be en-
tirely safe to say that the book will be
ready for delivery by November 20.

The negro-lynchinS game was played
at Roanoke, Va, last week, but with
variations. The eolored man robbed a
white woman and the mob set out to
hang hun, as was to have been expected.
But the mayor objected, and in order to
enforce his ideas of the prOprieties called
out the militia. In the shooting which
followed several citizens were shot and a
few were killed. Among the wounded was
the mayor himself. While the excitement
was at its height the negro was spirited
away from the Jail and hanged aud his
body burned. Popular Indignation was
so strong against the mayor that he fled
the place and did not dare to 90 back
till a ciiiz"ns' meeting passed resolutions
asking him to do So.

THE SIZE OF 1T.
From the Boston Record.l

The Herald has been hoaxed into cir
culating disgusting and ridiculous story
about Middlebury college. One of its
truly rooraln correspondents, on seeing
a photograph of a couple of college boys
fixed up with some stray bones of AMI
mails and Job lot skulls, has swallowed
and palmed off on the public a grave
robbing yarn. 1t is apparent to any
decent man who looks at the facts. And
still this paper allows Its columns to be
used to call for an eXhumation of the
graves of men hOnOred and learned,
whose bodies have lain peacefully for
many year.
