All the committee would ask for at

John A. Peters, jr., of the committee on

already in communication with gentle

"PRISCILLA.o
Longfellow's Story of Myles Standish
Musfcally Portrayed.

The event of the season, in musical cir
cles, will be the production of the opera
"Priscilla" by local talent, at Hancock
hall, Thursday evening, Feb. IA.
The opera is the joint production OF
Henry d. Coolidge, librettist, and Thos.
W. Surette, composer, of Concord, Mass.
The composer has scored numerous sweet
melodies, strongly harmonious choruses,
and charmingly effective solos and con-
certed pieces. The dialogue is in verse,
and the humor throughout is of refined
character.
The historic personeges who figure in
the opera are the doughty "Myles stand
ish," the bashful and obliging John
Alden,' the dignitied civilian Brad
ford" governor of the colony, and the
roguishly- -demure priscilla. The In
dian friend of the coonists, "Squanto,H
and Bar bara, whom Standish eventually
marries, also appear.
The more strictly comic work is given
to fictitious characters, among whom are
Resignation" susceptible, middle
aged spinster, and "Hatebad higgins"
agent of the "MayfioWer,n = and president
of the Ancestral Relic end Antiquated
Heirloom Co., limited.
This latter worthy is & combination of
austere hypocrisy and modern Yankee
enterprise, and his various moneymaking
schemes, his comical love making scenes
with "Resignation," and his unsuccessful
attempts to carve up Plymouth rock to
sell for relics, afford much merriment.
The cast of characters and chorus of
thirty voices have been selected, COM
posed entirely of local talent.

BOARD OF TRADE.
Important Matters Discussed at the
First Regular Meeting.

| worth board OF TRADE was nelQ at MAN
ming hall Monday evening. Owing to a
Misunderstanding as to the date of the
meeting, the attendance was not large.
President A. w. King presided and Sec
retary J F. Knowlton recorded.
A matter of vital importance was
brought before the board by B. T. Sowle,
who presented the following preamble
and resolution:
Whereas, We believe that the present
needs and future development and pros
| perity of our city demand that our river
| be 50 improved that we may be put in dl-
rect steam boat connection with the COM
| mercial centres, and
Whereas, We believe it feasible to so
| dredge and improve our river as to ac-
complish this end, therefore,
Resolped, That we petition our general
government through our senator and
representative for an appropriation of
$4,000 or SO much thereof as may be
necessary for this purpose, and take such
other action as may be necessary to ac-
complish this work.
In presenting the resolution MIR. Sowle
spoke at length, putting before the
board in very clear and pointed light
the Importance of this improvement to
Sowle had given the matter careful study,
thought, and by thorough investigation
was prepared to speak intelligently on
the subject
He reviewed the work done in 1S70-1 by
the appropriation of $50, 900 made by con-
gress at that time OF this sum, $4,000
had been expended in improving the
river-S12, 900 of which had been ex-
pended in removing sawdust and stick
ings, and $4,000 in blowing out bouIders
and lodges
The report of the engineer engaged on
the work at that time showed that we
, had a channel, 150 feet wide and with
from three to four feet OF water at mean
low water from the bay to the Wharves.
1t also showed that from Fullerton's
point TO Bonsey wharf the depth of
channel at low water was seven feet.
From this point to near Indian Point
the natural bed of the river was six to
seven feet below low water. The boulders
and Lodges removed by the last appro-
priation was, of course, permanent
improvement, and would not have to be
done over again. But in removing the
Stockings and sawdust mistake was
made in depositing them near the mouth
of the river, where the ice and tide
carriea them hack and formed the bar

no doubt that some of the sawdust and
Stockings that filled the river had come
from the mills since the improvements
were made, the greatest amount had
come from the drifting in of that pre-
viously removed.
Some years after the previous improve
| ments were made a statute was passed
prohibiting the depositing of sawdust
and Stockings in the river. This statute
was still in effect, and while perhaps it
had not been strictly enforced, because
the damage had already been done, it

a Peculiar Lawsuit.

One OF the most peculiar lawsuits
ever filed in the United States is on
the court docket at Charlottesville,
Ind. Three years ago passenger
train on the Monon route was
wrecked near the home 0. John Eli
oft, north of New Orleans. The
train rolled down an embankMent
and one coach was burned live per-
sons killed and seventy injured. The
injured were taken to tho house OF
Elliott. Now ne wants $1,000 dam
ages from the railroad because, he
alleges, the health Of his family has
been bad ever since the wreck, and
this is caused by the sounds from tho
injured that vibrate through his
house every night, and when they go
out doors at night the spirits" OF
those killed in this wreck can be seen
walking up and down the track In
front OF his house. He wanted all
these things stopped and damages
for the annoyance which has caused
sickness in his family. he says ne
has dreamed about the wreck every
night since it happened.

Johnson is also to have a tandem
machine for the ice, upon which he
and a skating partner will ATTEMPT to
do little flying for records. Both
the tandem and the single nadine
will be fitted with long steel skate
runner in front and claw attach
ment to the rear wheel in lieu Of the
pneumatic tire. The tandem will be
geared to 100 inches and the single
machine to about so inches, as
against the 68 or 20 inches to which
most track cyclists are accustOnned.
The machine looks well on paper,
but it has ''cut very little Ice thus
far" Johnson being too busy at
skating to give it any considerable
time this winter.
Johnson's record mile thisyear on
skates is 2:42 As. He thinks with
using the "skacycle as stpace-
maker that he can cover the dis
lance in 2:30. The picture shows the
champion ready to mount. The
pedals are so arranged that he can
ride with skates attached to his
shoes or without, but for fast time
the latter mode is safer.

In the year 401 the Black sea was
frozen over for twenty days and men
crossed from Asia Minor to the
Crimea.
In 764 the Black sea was frozen to
n distance OF fifty miles from shore.
The Hellespont and Dardanelles were
frozen and the sea Of Marmora was
passable for cavalry.
In 1853 the river Thames was frozen
over for fourteen weeks. All the
rivers Of the continent were frozen,
and even south of the Alps the Pc
and many other streams were blocked
with ice.
In 1904 the Cattegat was covered
with ice seven feet thick. Batteries
OF artillery were moved to and fro on
the strait.
In 1923 the Baltic sen was frozen
over, and during three months trav-
elers passed from the continent to
Sweden on the ice Heavy wagon
trains were substituted for the trad
ing vessels.
In 1888 the Thames and oil other
rivers of England and Scotland froze
over; the Seine, Rhine and Danube
were closed to navigation early in
December. The Dardanelles and
Hellspont froze over, as did many
bays and inlets OF the Mediterranean.
Ice formed in Algiers and the Strait
of Gibraltar was almost impossible
from drift ice.
In 1460 the Baltic again froze over
So as to permit travel on the ice. In
Germany deer sought the towns for
refuge from wolves. Packs of wolves
came into the cities and attacked the
people in the streets.
In 1874 the cold was so severe in
Holland that wine was cut in blocks
and sold by weight.

This lack of feeling for the feathered
tribe exists not alone among the
poor and the ignorant but includes
all classes. so thatmeasures for their
preservation have always been de-
feated "for fear OF offending the
electorate" or cutting of the pleas
