HOyt's New Play.

G. H. Hoyt and family are now at
their summer home in Charlestown,
N. H. Mrs. Hoyt is not enjoying very
good health and is just recovering from
an illness of three months caused by
rheumatism.
Last Saturday Mr.. Hoyt completed
writing his new play, "a Contented
Woman" the first production of which
is to be in Buffalo, then in San Fran
cisco and other western cities, but it
will not be produced in New York un-
til 1897. 1t deals with the farcical
phases of woman suffrage. The scene
is laid in western state, where the
heroine is dragged into politics, elected
mayor against her will, and becomes
contented to handle the machine.

st. Charles Church.

This edifice is one of the largest and
handsomest in town and has mem.
bership nearly as large as all the Other
churches combined. The Catholic
property, including the church, the
pare chial residence and the grounds, is
conveniently situated and valuable. 1t
has been about 25 years since there was
resident priest in Bellows Falls, the
first one being FIR. Gandreau, who
labored in this parish about II years.
His successor was FIR. Reynolds who
has been priest for nearly ID years.
When FIR. Reynolds first came the
church was small and humble affair
at the corner of School and Cherry
streets. Nine years ago the present
fine church building was completed
and the parochial residence some two
years ago.
FIR. Reynolds has taken careful CEN
sus of his church membership and esti-
mates that it comprises 100 families, or
gross membership of over 800. This
census shows healthy growth. The
finances of the society are in flourish
ing condition. The future for St.
Charles is bright and in FIR. Reynolds
its members have an able and highly
respected priest.

Theory of the Tides.

DIR. S. M. Blake has a theory of his
own as to the cause of the tides. In
conversation recently he said 81 be-
lieve that if astronomers and scientists
had got one or two very elementary
principles fixed in their minds, there
never would have been any difficulty
in explaining the cause of the ebb and
flow of the tides. The theory has al
ways been advanced that the earth re-
wolves on its geometrical center. This
l do not think is the case. l believe
that there is as well a center of attrac-
ton created by the difference in den
sity of the different parts of the earth'F
crust. If the earth revolves on this cen
ter of attraction and it is different from
the geometrical center, it would have
an irregular motion not unlike that o
a grindstone with the crank set to ont
side of the center. l believe that some
such motion as this causes the tides
and not any effect that the moon may
have on the earth.
