rolls. Pay day may come as late
as the middle of next week, unless

THEIR NEW FAD.
Cuba Seems a More Acceptable
Subject Than Christ's Cause.

Cuba Seems a More Acceptable
Subject Than Christ's Cause.
CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-The clergy
of Chicago had much to say yes
terdsy regarding Cuba and her
struggle for freedom. Almost a
score of sermons were preached,
with Cuba as the text, and Spain
and the Spanish people came In
for good deal of vigorous denun-
citation. Bishop Fallows, OF the
Reformed church, spoke at the
evening service on "The Moral AS
pect Of the Cuban Question" He
declared the Cubans fit for self
government, and after saying he
believed the islanders to be far
higher in mental attachments
than the officers sent to rule them,
he denounced the attitude OF the
Spanish government toward Cuba
as that of a despot, and concluded
by favoring prompt action by the
United States in aiding the Cuban
patriots. Other sermons by Rev.
}. X. Wheeler, at the Fourth Bap-
fist church; Rev. w. w. Wilson,
of the Reformed Episcopal church,
and DIR. John Henry Bsrrows, at
the First Presbyterian church, all
strongly favored the recognition OF
the insurgents.

Fell OF the Bridge.

William Burke, aged 81, an employe
in Osgood's foundry, fell off the Boston
& Maine railroad bridge into the river
Tuesday night about $50 o'clock and
was drowned. He was returning from
North Walpole with two companions.
They were on the upper side Of the
bridge near the New Hampshire shore,
Burke falling over the railing at that
place. Where he struck there is gener-
ally but little water, but now there are
several feet of water with a strong cur
rent. Nothing was seen of him after
he struck the water and the body will
probably be swept far down the river.
His companions were some distance
behind him and Burke leaned up against
the railing to wait for them. They
could not tell how the accident hap
pened

Festival Orchestra Concert.

The concert by the Boston Festival
orchestra last Friday evening was the
greatest musical event ia the history of
Bellows Falls, even surprising their APP
pearance a year ago. The program was
given as announced with the exception
of the aria from Carmen, which Miss
Stein was unable to sing because of an
attack of tonsilitis. She appeared as
"Marthan and 'Siebeln in the third
act of Faust, in which she displayed
rich contralto voice and made favor
able suppression as an actress. Miss
Stewards Marguerite showed great dra-
matte ability and has a very sweet So
prano voice, but it is hardly heavy
enough for operate singing. AS Me-
phistopheles Mr.. Clarke was grand. He
is possessed of a magnificent bass voice
that was thoroughly in keeping with
the idea his acting conveyed of his
satanic majesty Mr.. Davis, who as
sumed the role of "Faust,n has an ex-
cellent tenor voice and ably sustained
his part.
OF the work of the orchestra nothing
but praise can be said. The music was
all classical and consequently somewhat
tiresome to many before the evening
was passed, but it was highly appre-
ciated. Applause was literally dis
pensed, but no encores were responded
to, the original program being long
enough. MIR. Rogers was obliged to
come back several times and bow &C.
acknowledgement before the audience
would quiet down. The piano concerto
by Mr.. Sherwood was greatly appre-
ciated, showing masterful touch such
as has never before heard in the Opera
House. The concert throughout was of
high order and it seemed too bad that
there was not a larger audience. Com
ing on Good Friday night it was not
expected that the attendance would be
large, but it was necessary to come here
to fill vacant time. Next year we I'M
derstand the same orchestra will come
the week after Easter.

OWL CLUB MINSTRELS.
Large Audience Greets the Boys at
Their First Show.

The Opera House was well filled
Monday evening to witness the first
minstrel show given by the Owl club.
After Huntoon's orchestra had played
an overture the curtain went up on the
circle, which was in tiers. There were
81 in the circle, including six end men
and the interlocutor. After the open
ing chorus p. j. Cleary sang "Her eyes
don't shine like diamonds" and was
obliged to respond to an encore. 1t
was the same with every song; all were
roundly encored and the end men had
to come back two or three times to
quell the tumulVuous applause. Steve
II. Tyrrell had the next say and told
some funny stories and jokes, following
with the comic song "Strolling Round
the Town" Tracy Leonard followed
with string of gags and topical song
81 didn't think he'd do it, but he did,"
giving four verses full of local hits.
Harry Carder sang the ballad "Just Say
Good Bye" in a pleasing manner, his
voice being at its best. Then the Tyr
rel brothers gave song composed by
Steve Tyrrell called "Local Hits,n and
that just describes the song. Judging
from the applause the audience must
have thought it pretty good. James
Blake sang "Bran New Coon,n George
Kingsley followed with the ballad "No
Surrender and Fred Exner sang
"Mike McCarty's Wake" Joe Callahan
ending the first part with the old negro
shouting song "Climb Up, Ye Little
Chillen," all the songs being inter-
spersed with jokes, many of them being
on people well known locally. Henry
Conley acted as interlocutor, filling that
difficult position very creditably.
AS soon as the stage could be cleared
the curtain was raised on part two, the
olio. First came "Smoken in clog and
reel dancing, and he had to come out a
second time. Then Exner and White
gave a selection on the mandolin and
guitar, but broken guitar string pre-
vented their second appearance though
loudly demanded by the audience.
Henry Conley followed with an Irish
speciality that was one of the best things
in that line heard for a long time.
Cleary and Carder had musical sketch
that was very well done and then Joe
Callahan came out with monologue
act that was flu Il of wit. For an encore
he sang an Irish song, elbow Murphy
Broke His Pledge.n Steve Tyrrell and
John Pickett did song and dance
speciality that was excellent and the
Blake brothers followed with a clog
dance, both acts being heartily encored.
The show closed with an original

Fast Day Sermon.

The sermon of Rev. Ellsworth Fuller
ton Fast day evening in the Methodist
church was entitled "Christ crucified
in the 10th century," He said: "Be-
fore the world Jesus represented purity,
innocence and indignation at wrong
guardianship and reform. He inter
fered with the spirit of covetousness
represented in the family of Caiaphas,
which was willing the innocent should
be led astray, caring only for the weak
to make money out of them, resisting
all changes which might harm busi-
ness. He interfered with the desire of
social position and popularity and polit-
zeal place-hunting in the person of Pi-
late. He was the prey of the gross dis
dain of the people who do not have
principles of their own and ridicule all
principle and holiness, in the person of
the Roman soldiers and the people who
chose the cry of Caiaphas, Cruelty
him. Meanwhile those who loved
Him were either frightened or asleep.
Christ's honor and heart and blessing
walk the earth to-day in the innocence
of childhood, the virtuous indignation
at wrong, insthe need of the weak and
poor in the spirit of reform. Shall we
confess that Caiapbas persecutes, Plate
yields to violence, the mob mocks and
Christians are asleep ?'

farce ''The Irish Christening" which
represented the jollity that precedes
that exercise in the old country, intro
ducing some local characters and brim
full of wit and fun. And so closed the
Owl clubs first minstrel show, the az
fair going off without hitch and pro-
Yoking continued applause for the meri-
torious efforts of the amateurs.
The club will net a handsome sum
from the show, which will come n
handy to assist in furnishing their new
rooms. After the lshow asupper was
served by the club to those who assist
ed, and few friends, in Banquet hall.
To Prof. James f. O'Brien large
share of the credit is due for his faithful
work in training the chorus and gener-
al supervision of the musical numbers.
The stage was under the able manage
ment of Steve I'll. Tyrrell, and every
thing run as smoothly as could be de-
sired. Huntoon's orchestra, augment
ed by several players from away, fur
nished the music.

of Putney. The canoe was found in a
clump of alders at the island below
Putney, little damaged but without the
the paddles. They Were not seen to
pass Putney, and it is thought the
canoe was overturned this side of that
place. About mile and a half this
side of Putney there are two whirlpools
formed by the current. These We're so
strong that it was with difficulty the
big batteauX used by the searching
party could be rowed through them.
They did not show until the beats were
directly over them, when the undertow
sucked the bow of the boats down. 1t
was probably there that the accident
happened, and the occupants of the
frail canoe could have had no warning
of their impending danger. Up to the
time they left East Putney everything
was well and the boat went along
smoothly. AS they were having nice
ride the boys decided to continue to
Putney and take the train home from
there. Had they been content to end
their trip when once on the shore, it
would not have been necessary to
chronicle this, the saddest accident fol-
years. A rumor on the street late al
night that the bodies had been found is
untrue. Men are watching on the
Brattleboro bridge to stop them should
they pass, but the logmen think they
will be found near where the boat was
discovered.

BLACK BASS BITING.
Good Luck with a Southern Fishing
Party.

b. "A. Putney, who is stopping at
Jacksonville, Fla, sends copy of the
Times-Union containing an account of
fishing party with which he went
out. The paper says:
"The creeks in the neighborhood of
Jacksonville are full enough of fish to
afford the best sport to rod and reel
fishermen. During the past season
Burchfield's boat yard has sent out
under the guidance of Archie Durham,
boatman, an average of three parties
a week and according to Archies diary
not less than 800 black bass have been
captured, some of them running up as
high in weight as II pounds.
Last Thursday j. A. Bradford, l.. B.
Moore, A. r. Wood and B. A. dtney,
guests of G. III. Cummings, went with
Archie to Cedar Creek. j. A. Bradford
and l.. B. Moore were in one boat and
| caught 20 black bass and three Dream.
| Messrs. Wood and Putney, in another
boat, got five bass and one trout. The
biggest bass of the catch weighed seven
pounds.
| Archie, for the past ten years, has
kept a book in which is inscribed a
chronicle of the luck of each fishing
party. In one of these parties was
Lille Langtry and to her was credited
a number of sea fish.
In another party was the Duke of
Newcastle. His first trip was eight
years ago. Five years later he came
back and went with Archie again and
on each expedition he had the best of
luck.n
Mr.. Putney is staying with Col.
Charles IL, Cummings at keystone
Bluff" which an accompanying pic
ture shows as very pretty southern
home. 1t may be wrong to envy
another PERSONS pleasures, but there is
at least one who would like to take Mr..
Putney's place on the next fishing trip.
