Rockingham Sunday Schools.

The quarterly meeting of the Rock
ingham Sunday school association was
held in the Congregational church at
SaXton's River last Sunday evening.
Many members were present from
various parts of the town, some rs
going over from here, and mo inter
esting program was carried out. The
prayer and praise service was led by
DR.. G. A. Williams of Saxton g River.
Rev. j. E. Naramore gave an interest
ing talk on 'Objects of Sunday school
Instructions, in which he gave much
excellent sdvice to parents. In the dis
cussion which followed Rev. Mr.. Sim
mons, president of Fargo College, and
secretary of the Congregational Home
Missionary society for North Dakota,
was called on and gave some interest
ing thoughts upon this topic. ''The
Boy in the Sunday school' was sub
ject handled with much thought by
G. E. ingalls, of this place, who related
interesting experiences with boys in
his classes and told how and why the
Boys Brigade was organized here.
Rev. Mr. Fullerton also had something
pleasant to say to the boys. Dr. G. A.
Williams closed the meeting with an
instructive talk on "How to Study the
Bible in connection with the Sunday
school," This organization, which has
been in existence only about a year, is
composed of the different Sunday
schools throughout the town, and these
meetings are proving to be very instruc-
tive, entertaining, and of much profit

Wicked Brattleb0rO.

1t is reported that at Ills O'Clock
Tuesday morning Brattleboro was con-
siderably shaken up by an earthquake
with vibrations from east to west and a
heavy rumbling sound. 1t is feared
that proud, aristocratic Brattleboro is
about to be called to a reckoning by an
offended deity. The shock was felt
here slightly, but it is greatly to he
hoped that Bellows Falls will not be
made to suffer for the sins of Brattleboro
simply because it happens to be in the
same county and is found in bad
company.

Mr.. Harrison is keeping very mum
on the silver question. Mr.. Carter,
chairman of the national Republican
committee in the campaign of 1892, was
in New York recently and visited Mr..
Harrison, and for the purpose, it is said
of getting Mr.. Harrison's views on the
silver question. 1t is not reported that
he got very much satisfaction. Mr..
Carter lives in Montana in the silver
district. When asked what he thought
about putting silver plank in the plat
form of 1896 he very, cautiously said:
"It is best to wait until the accident hap
pens before advising the remedy. Precedents
may be quoted: States have gone back on
Republican nominees on account Of silver
and they did it because of the silver senti-
ment. 1t can be surmised what may happen
now when the sentiment has enlarged to
such great extent. If the Republican party
ignores silver, there will be great deal of
detection in the west.'

Trilby's Triumph.

''Are you going to see Trilby ?" was
the question on everybody's lips for
10 days or more now the question is
"What did you think Of Trflby?" The
answers to this question have disclosed
that it is almost the unanimous verdict
that the presentation at the opera
house Tuesday night was a flattering
success. The unusually large house
was pleased, delighted from the time
the curtain first went up till the sad,
thrilling death scene in the last act.
The Trilby fad has become remark
able in it's proportions. The American
people have lost their heads, and all
over very silly matter. When one
reads the book, Trilby, he says, "it is
a tame affair" Thousands have read
it from sense of duty they did not
dare to remain ignorant of book of
which everyone was talking. Thou
sands have wondered, too, how the
story could be successfully dramatized.
Few would have been so foolhardy as
to make the attempt. 1t required a
genius like Paul M. Potter, who could
make the play greater than the book.
The play is SO novel, SO unique,
and improves on the book so much
that it is difficult to estimate its real
merit and value as mere stage produc-
ton. But whatever differences of
opinion there may be as to the merits
of the play itself, there is no dispute
that the leading characters in the A.
M. Palmer Company that appeared
here Tuesday did some superb acting.
Lawrence Hanley as Svengali is an
unqualified success, and Miss Eleanor
Barry as winsome, beautiful Trilby,
won golden opinions from her charmed
and delighted auditors. Miss Elonina
Oldcastle, as Madame Wizard, is one of
the strongest characters of the play.
She is beautiful, gifted, and fine
actress. Space forbids mentioning
other members of the company, who
acted their parts remarkably well.
With its sprightliness in the second
act, its awfulness in the third act, and
| the sad, pathetic wasting away and
death of the lovely and accomplished
Trilby in the last act, the play makes
an impression on the mind that is last
ing ; mingled feelings of pleasure and
sadness disturb the breast of the
listener. He leaves the house unsatis.
fled, yet charmed and delighted.

LATE EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The horrible news has reached this
country that an edict has gone forth in
the land of the Japs that all Cinnamon
remaining in the territory acquired by
Japan in the recent war must discon-
tinue binding their feet and must cut
off their pigtails. Quotations on wigs
and false hair ought to fall off rapidly
from this on.

OUR CLAIMS AGAINST VENEZUELA
The Republic Held Responsible For the

commission today concluded its labors

COMPANY, of New York, received sf4l 800
in American gold, with interest and Capt.
A. G. Post Jacob j. Maurlnus and David
J. Sturgis received each $500, with inter-
est The claim OF Cornelius j. Brinker-
hof master OF the San Francisco. was the
only one disallowed The claims date
back 10 1871. when in the course of revo-
luton in Venezuela three of the vessels
of the American corporation were seized
by the Nenezuelans on either side in the
controversy and much damaged by use in
war The ships were finally recovered,
one through the good Office of the COM
mauder Of a British warship. and the
other two by the commander of the
United States steamer Shawmut. The
claim also included items based on the
refusal OF the victorious revolutionary
government 10 allow the company 10 use
the franchise IL had to navigate Vene-
zuelan waters. and also items for the inn
prisonment OF the masters OF the seized
vessels.
The principle involved in the judgment
rendered today is of great interest 10 the
countries Of Central and South America.
which are subject TO revolution, for IL
amounts 10 a declaration that such coun-
tries are responsible for the acts Of insur-
gents against the rights and properties of

their control. Senor Andreade, the Vene-
zuelan representative OF the committee.
has given notice that he will file dis
