Lost in New York"

The Toledo Blade says of "Lost in New
YORK; which comes to the Opera house
next Monday, Aug. 19: "In spite of the
fact that this is Holy week, the Peoples
theatre was crowded to the doors last
evening, the attraction being the fve-act
comedy drama, Lost in New York" To
tell the story of Lost in New York.
would be a somewhat lengthy task. 1t is
a play with a very deep laid plot which
develops In the first act, has an addition
built on to it In the second, Is frustrated
In the third, then partially rebuilt in the
fourth, and finally dies a natural death
In the last act. 1t introduces some very
clever people and a wealth of magnificent
scenery. In fact, the great charm of the
production is due to the latter. The scene
of the third act Is East River by moon
light, and Is an exact representation Of
that portion of New York. In the fore
ground Is Wards Island insane asylum,
showing nearly its entire water front
on the one side with a view of the city OH
the opposite side. In the middle is a river
of real water on which an ordinary small
steam launch plays back and forth, filling
the theatre with the sound of Its putting
and the shrek of the whistle. On the
river, too, the heroine is seen escaping
from the hands of her enemies in an ordi-
nary rowboat, the splash of the oars and
the motion of the boat being vastly differ
ent from the ordinary stage effect. The
scene of the fourth act is Gramercy Park,
and here, too, the effect Is most realistic.
The company producing the play contains
some excellent material"

GAM BLING AT FAIRS.
Steps TO Be Taken To Prevent II the Coming
Season.

In years gone by gambling of all kinds.
from the wheel of fortune down to the
simplest method of illegally obtaining
money has been customary at county
fairs, but the coming season is expected
to see a change. The law was amended
at the last session of the Legislature, and
will prevent to some extent the carrying
on of gambling. A Journal reporter was
at the State House, yesterday, and called
upon Hon. B. W. McKecn, secretary OF
the State board of agriculture, regard
ing this matter.
Secretary McKeen says:
1.-THE season for fairs is now here, and
from present indications 1t appears as
though the county and local societies will
make every effort to enforce the law
against gambling or any games of chance,
as we'll as the selling Of intoxicating
liquors. Several secretaries have written
the office of the board to know If certain
games came within the statute, and 1t
would seem that the amendments of last
winter were to help out in the enforcement
of the law. Arrests have already been
made in some instances for violation Of
this law, and more will follow If attempts
are made to evade It," Z
Mr.. McKeen says every effort possible
will be made by the department to ascer-
tain who the d%elinquents in this matter
are, and the stipend will be withheld
from all who intentionally violate the

MORE BURGLARS.
ANOTHER CALL ON THE SOUTH PARIS
POST OFFICE SUNDAY MORNING. THIS
TINE THEY MET A WARM RECEPTION.

After the burglary OF Monday night,
last week, some OF our business men
were prompted Ia take measures at once
for the employment Of night watch
man, believing the inye.tmen would
prove a good protection against fire as
we'll as burglars. Consequently Daniel
w. Cannon was employed TO patrol the
business section and went on duty Fri
dav night for the first time.
On Saturday night, Mr.. Cannon was
on duty and at about quarter past two
O'Clock Sunday morning, as he was
patrolling the sidewalk, when In front
OF Bowker's store, he discovered three
men, one larger than the others, tip-toe-
ing down In front OF Odd Fellows
Block, coming from the direction OF the
depot. Mr.. Cannon stepped along into
W. A. Porter's stairway so as To conceal
himself from them somewhat aud await
ed results. The men came down as far
as the post office. peered in at the win
dows and then tried the door, at first
easily. Finding it securely locked they
commenced to force it, when the watch
man opened fire on them with his re-
yolver. He fired twice, one bullet TAX
ing effect in the corner OF the block very
nearly In the direction they were, the
mark of the other cannot be found. The
burglars Immediately fed in the direction
from which they had come and AS they
started of the Waterman heard one OF
them say, "Tom, are you hurt:n
Mr.. Cannon called out w. A. Porter,
postmaster W. l.. Farrar. y. ID. Bolster
aud Frank Taylor. They made a
thorough search Of several available hid
ing places, but were unable to discover
their birds.

Thai WEST PARIS SCHOOL HOUSE.
PARIS. Nov. 10, 1885.

Editor DcROcrdt:
In reply to what was said by your
West Paris correspondent In your
columns last week regarding the I'M
hygienic condition of the West Paris
school house being the cause OF diphthe-
ria In that place, the Paris Board OF
Health would say that they carefully In
spected the school house aud found It's
sanitary condition most satisfactory.
The vault was we'll disinfected. At the
commencement of the term the janitor
had been instructed by the board OF
health TO disinfect the vault every day,
and he told US that he had done so. The
teachers In both rooms informed US that
they had never detected any unpleasant
odors In the school room or around IL
that could have come from the vault.
We doubt il there is house in the VII
lage that has been kept in as good con-
dition.
The diphtheris started in the family
OF Samuel Ellingwood. The hrst case,
= how, was not very sick, and he went 10
school one or two days after his throat
commenced 10 be sore. No one else
from the school was taken sick until
three DAYS after he stopped going, ana
an who were sick afterwards were from
the same room as this boy.
We have not the least doubt that the
diphtheria originated in the family OF
samuel Ellingwood, and was conveyed
by members of this family TO other
scholars attending the same school.
There have been false reports regarding
the number of cases. There have been
in all seven cases, only one Of which has
been severe.
