DIR. Seward Webb wants the state bond
ed for $5, 900, 900 and two enormous high
ways built the entire length Of the state.
Provided the doctor will build these roads
himself we see no objection to the scheme,
but bonding the state is horse of differ
ent color.

loosed the Rutland Herald has been ..sass-
ing Ex Gov. Woodbury. and the worthy
ex-chief-executive is threatening another
libel suit. This may be fun for the parties
concerned, but for long suffering public
it is torture.
Thomas B. Reeds statement that Bryan
ism and repudiation found their strongest
support among American citizens of foreign
birth has created much comment and the
facts do not bear out Mr.. Reeds assertion,
Twenty-three states went for Mckinley, in
which the average foreign people is 1892
per cent; % states went for Bryan and the
percentage was only 12.14. The south
went almost solidly for Bryan, yet here is
found the biggest percentage of purely
English descendants. The theory that
most of the political misery of the country
is due to the anarchism and dense ignor-
ance of foreign-born citizens has two sides
to it.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

One of the features of the production
of John Kernells "The Irish Alder
man." which is to be given at the Acad
emy Friday evening Is the work of
George f. Marion. who is as amusing
in his way, and it's good way. as is
the star himself. Messrs. Davis &
Keosh have surrounded this popular
Celtic actor with a strong company of
specially performers and the presenta-
tion of his new play moves with dash
and snap that Is not often seen.
Miss Katharine Germaino. the prima
donna of 1.-THE Fencing Master" Opera
company, which is to appear in this city
Saturday night at the Academy was
originally chosen to succeed Marie
Tempest in the leading role by the COM
poser Reginald De KOven, Miss Ger
maine is Il thorough artistic. especially
qualified for the part. She has a clear,
rich SOPRANO voice and a sparkling
personality. much the same as that
which made Miss Tempests wide
spread fame. 1t is prophesied that be-
fore Miss Germaine has been on the
stage as long as Miss Tempest she will
hold a like place i'm the estimation of
theatre goers, and 1.-The Fencing Mas
ter is just the opera to increase her
popularity rapidly. 1t made Miss Temp
est's fame and before this season is
over it is more than likely to cause Miss
Germaines name to sound in italics
from the lips of thousands of devoted
admirers.

The name of Thomas Q. Seabrooke Is
always accepted as a guarantee of
something extremely funny in the
amusement lire, and the announce
ment that this talented and popular
comedian will appear in the Academy
of Music January G. will be "A welcome
one to the many patrons of that high
class place of amusement. He Will ap-
pear this time in an entirely new COM
edy written especially for him and en-
titled 'The Speculation" He is pro-
vided with part that gives him full
scope for the display Of his ability and
his company will no doubt be what it
always has been, an excellent one.
"In Old Maine" opens three days
engagement at Davis theater today.
The Syracuse News says of the COM
pany that will be seen in the piece:
Dan Darleigh. as Si Stebbins, was very
acceptable. The play has many origi-
nal features. and should be marked
success on the road. The scenery and
staging last night was feature of the
performance.

nearly thrown down two or three times
by the coiling of the serpent around
his legs, and each time felt sorry that
he didn't have a $4,000 life insurance
for the benefit of his family.
Finally, after struggle lasting fif-
teen minutes, Remfrey hit the viper a
tremendous kick In the mouth which
disabled it, and he then crushed its
head as fiat as a pancake.
The puff adder is vicious and dan
gerous serpent, which is said to puff
itself up and then blow a poisonous
slime with great force at an enemy.
In this case the adder's putting appar-
atus was knocked out of order by
Mr.. Remfrey's first jump, or the man
might have died instead Of the snake.
Andrew says If he lives thousand
years he will not tackle another snake
without a club, or something.
