given, Tuesday evening, in Meonian hall,
under the auspices of the Non Partisan
Y. W. G. 7. u, before good audience.
The play, throughout, is a travesty on
Shakespeare, with an undercurrent of
local reference and hits which showed
a good selection and Interpretation.
There was much genuine merit in their
portrayal Of the characters, with plenty of
well placed wit interspersed.
The scene of the play was at celebrated
water cure establishment. Some of
Shakespeare's strongest characters are
compelled to go to this sanitarium, and it
is there that complications arise.
As Hamlet, Edgar H, Paine of Portland,
who is to later play the same part in Port
land, was excellent. As Ophelia, Mrs. H.
r. True was especially good, as was Miss
Maude Andrews as Juliet. E. A. Thomp-
son OF Manchester, well portrayed the part
of Macbeth.
DR.. l.. J. Croker made capital Shy
lock, and Charles Billideau as Othello was
very well received. Miss Stella Barton us
Lady Macbeth, and Miss Lille NJ. LIE
Prohon as Portia, also were excellent.
Ernest W. Emery made a very acceptable
Romeo. and acted well. Miss Lucie H.
LIE Prohon was accompanied.
The singing was most creditable, and
the costumes especially well made up.
The proceeds of last evening entertain
mept will be devoted to Christmas gifts to
Augusta s needy,
This play will be given in Portland, Dec.

For instance, if one wants subscriber.
he rings as in the case with any trans

connection wanted, and informs the one
wishing the connection, the price. which
OF course varies according to locality of
the connection wanted.
The ingenuity of the contrivance lies
IN the system Of slot arrangements
The five cent piece will ring scent

ring that bell only. The 1O-cent bell is
one tone lower, and a similar scale of
descenas is arranged 50 that the 50-cent
bell Is deep and sonorous, and in itself,
almost worth the price paid. The sounds
OF these bells are perfectly heard by the
operator at the central office and she can
thus tell whether the would be talker has
paid the proper amount.
The operators life will henceforth. if
not one long, sweet song, certainly be

CARD FROM HON. w. F. FULTON.

10 tne ABe-herdiu.
 I wish to rise to a point of personal priv ilege; however, not wishing to interfere in the least in the discussion between our two distinguished fellow citizens. My point is this: Senator Milner says, "I secured, as you know, by putting an amendment on house bill, the establishment of an agricul- tura school and experimental station in the Ninth Congressional district. Jeffer. son county can get this school if she will try.'' Don't the senator know that the commissioner of agriculture stated author itatively that there could possibly be only two more of these schools established, as there would probably under the sale of guano tags be enough money on hand for this much and no more2 His amendment was not to locate school in the Ninth district simply, but to put one in every congressional district, which is an imposst- bility. There were three bills introduced in the house looking after these schools; one by MT. Killibrew of Dale county, one by Mir. Gibbons of Barbour and one by MT. Davis of Marion, each seeking to secure had Mir. Gibbons bill amended to include East Lake, Jefferson county, Widora vlsions sa' of the e'Sl bill. All W three passed the house and went over to the sen- ate, and the one with the Jefferson county amendment attached now sleeps like those dear little twins so pathetically alluded to by our honorable senator. He passed Davis' bill locating one of these schools at Hamilton, Marion county, with that amendment of his establishing one in each congressional district (not the Ninth dis trict) whenever there was money enough for such purpose on hand arising from sale of guano tags. which in my humble tudg- ment will never be the case. With the low price of cotton the sale of guano will be short, and it will be d fficult matter to establ ish a new one at Hamilton and main- tain those already established. Had the three bills above alluded to passed the sen- ate then Jefferson county, in the location of the school by the governor and commits sioner of agriculture, would have stood an equal chance with Dale, Barbour and ldarion, but as it stands now she will not get one during the present generation. Or if the Gibbons bill, with that East Lake amendment, had passed the senate instead of Davis' bill with that congressional dis trict amendment, then Jefferson county stood an admirable chance for a school. Very respectfully, w. F. FULTON.
