 The entertainment given by the Jun iors, under the direction of their superin- tendent, Mrs. G. w. Lansing, in the town hall on Friday evening, was the best thing of the kind ever given in Holland. A number of the Rockville Juniors were present and added very much by their songs, etc. Ernest Wood played violin solo; Little Edith Ransom sang and play ed her accompaniment on harp. The main feature of the evening was an "Eve- ming with the Juniors," by twenty boys and girls, illustrating the work of their society. The way in which it was all carried out showed hard work on the part of all and very careful training. They were assisted by Mrs. c. H. Sterry, who sang as 8 solo, "At the Ferry" and by a quartette consisting of Mrs. Simmons, Mrs. Medbry, Mrs. Price and MT. Kibbe, who sang very sweetly, without accompa- niment, "Come where my love lies dream ing" The hall was tastefully decorated with flowers. There was large audience and a good sum will be realized. The whole affair devolves much credit on those interested in getting it up. FLORA.

The supreme court declines to interpose between Eugene V. Debs and Judge Woods. Having failed to get his habeas corpus, Debs must now serve out his jail sentence for contempt in disregarding the injunction of the federal circuit court. The court of last resort decides that Judge Woods so-called "omnibus injunction" was all right; that federal judges may properly protect interstate commerce in that way.

MANSFIELD.

Mrs. Henry Dumas of Eagleville at tempted to kill herself Sunday afternoon by chopping herself on the head with an axe. Her husband, who works in the cot ton mill there, was in Willimantic at the time. The woman had been considered 'fighty," but harmless, for two or three months. They have one child, a girl, 13 years old. The girl found her mother in the shed still trying to split her own head open. She took the axe away from her and called the neighbors. The doctors found that the woman had struck forty blows, and in dressing the wounds, which required thirty three stitches, they had to remove three or four pieces of skull. It is possible that she may recover.

Larry Finnegan.''

On Tuesday evening the farce-comedy
~"flnnegan's Alley was presented al
the opera house by local talent under
the management of Mr.. Tltos. Lennon
Attic but a week was spent in the 70.
hearsing ri the pirce, il was produced in
"A manner which would have done credit
to professionals. Each part was wei;
taken and the several mnke-ups were
fine. This is the best play ever put on,
by home talent and too much credit can.
not be given Mr.. Lennon Tor his efforts.
lie Is one OF the best actors eyer before q
Webster audience and has no equal as a
coacher. There was not as large a turn
out as expected but the audience WAS
well pleased with the production. One
OF the features whicl helped to make the
event IA success vas the SONGS by Mr..
Lennon, who made n decided hit by an
original verse about Webster and her
artesian well.
As to the play itself, it il a story OF
the sudden transition from poverty TO
wealth OF an Irish family, who found oil
upon their Pennsylvania farm. and their
ridiculous efforts to shine in society.
The dialogue abounds in rich hunor. be-
ing entirely free from anything vulgar or
leading that way. 1t is said that a num-
Der OF people, with their customary med
dlesomeness, took it upon themselves to
c%riticise this play before it wus presented.
Ii these same parties could grasp the
moral OF the play and take it home to
themselves and profit by il, they would
be better qualified to Judge what is prop
or and what is not.
As we go to press we hear a to
the effect that Mr.. Lennon will superir-
tend and assist in the presentation OF
another play in the near future, before II
Webster audience.

ia Fiji Romance.o

THERE was a young maid in Fiji.
And Ia number her lovers were thros
but which she loved best
She needed a test
To tell her, SO doubtful was she.
SO she stirred up u cannibal war.
iii the whole land was Redeemed with 1ore
And young man No. 1
Got slain with a gun
Blu her heart was as light as before.
co she knew that she didn't love him.
- mat her fancy was only q within;
nut still there were two,
Both eager to WOO,
And still her loves evesight was dim.
Blu youth No. 2, in a fight,
was captured one terrible night,
And they made him the meat.
AT a cannibal treat,
And she found that her heart was still light,
n ND she didn't love that one, she knew,
- But she still was in doubt what to do.
For young man No. 8,
For all she could see,
Mas, no dearer than youth No. 2.
But her fears in due time were allayed,
For the enemy made a fierce raid,
And, with arrow points filed,
Her last lover was killed
And she lived and she died an old maid.
