and apples. The scholars presented
her with a few presents, as tokens of

Why it is desirable that women be
elected on the board of overseers of the
poor in the towns Of Massachusetts needs
no argument. That is the kind of work
in which good women are naturally in
terested and active, and their special fit
ness for such service does not admit of
challenge 1t will be for the public good
in any community to put at least one

 A number of the Democratic oandi- dates came in this evening for the purpose of taking the town by storm. We noticed among the number Scott White. Allen R. English and MT. Wentworth, and we hear that Scott sni Mir. Enslish are going to camp on the ground until election time. wm. Speed, of willoox, Republi- can nom,nee for the Legislature, also came in with the crowd. A good Democrat in the throng at the depot was heard to remark that there was one Republican who had taste in the choosing of his associates, but t seems to us that it was compulsory. The Republican county central committee met here Saturday night and blocked out their line of campaign. The datss of their meetings in the various towns in the county are e follows:

Terrill, thirty-five years OF age, dangerously
shot his wife yesterday afternoon and then
shot himself through the right temple,
dying in few minutes.
The shooting occurred at the Terrlrs
home in the town of Hamden. TerrilI and
his wife had been separa ted since November
3, because of his drinking habits and ieal-
Gus disposition. Yesterday Mrs. Terrill
who owns the house in which she and hel

her furniture to this city.
The husband and two others were assist

MISS CAYYAN'S new PLAY
esquire Kate" Produced for the
First Time in Washington.
FrepoI and the Hollands, at the La
fayette and Columbia, Open to
Good Audiences.

Georgia Cayvan's attractive personality
and dramatic talent never showed them
selves to better advantage than they do
in her new play, Squire Kate" by Rob
ert Buchanan, in which she appears at the
New National Theater this week. On the
play bills 1t is denominated "a pastoral
DRAMA" nor could an aptcr designation
be found for it. for the rural and rustic
element pervade 1t from beginning to end.
1t is a simple tale that unfolds itself be-
fore the listener: so simple, indeed, that the
play can hardly be said TO have Il plot
1t is the old, old story OF woman's love
over again, but told in such homely fashion
that one hardly realizes the pain and an
guish and final self sacrifice OF the
heroine until they are placed before him
with startling distinctness, yet in highly
artistic manner, just before the curtain
falls upon the last scene OF all.
The action of the play is compressed WITHIN
the short period of day There are but
two scenes--a farm house kitchen ana
hay field-and these are masterpieces OF
their kind The characters are such as one
might find in any English country neigh
borhood. except, perhaps, such woman
as .sSouire Kate'-for they are rare
and the old miser, CATER Kingsley, who
was willing to commit murder TO remove
his sons sweetheart. In order that he might
marry an heiress. The dialogue is charm
ingIy natural, and altogether the play
flows from beginning to end with
smoothuess and logical sequence that are
all the more delightful as one is not often
regaIed with them in thi scar OF highly
spiced situations and feverish climaXes
Miss Cayvan displayed consummate ORA
matte art in the very simplicity which
marked her every action, word ana move
ment. she presented Thoroughly nome
like picture, one that engaged the az
fectiunate regard OF the audience from the
very start, and enlisted its sympathies
when the shadows fell upon Catherine
Thorpe. Is her sister Hettie, Miss Florence
Conron, was as Iovable and ingenUe as one
would wish to see WinsOme OF face and
in manner, she fairly and properly shared
with the star the honnrs OF the evening.
Miss Annie Sutherland made a decided
hit in the small character Of a farm maid.
One Of the strongest characters in the
play Is that Of the old miser, and IL found
a perfect representative in MIR George

United States and a clever and amusing
description OF her interview with the vice
royal, Ii Hung Chang, which she obtained
simply by writing for n five-ninutes'
audience and which he extended to thirty.
What specially charscterizes Miss Rich
ards lecturing is a cisaf and logical style
and a faculty of presenting the historical
significance OF the true Inwardress' OF
facts, which arises from a naturally ana
lytical mind and life long tendency to
inquire into the why's and whererores OF
great questions.
Her first stereopticon lecture was de-
livered before the Unity Club, and her sue
cess was so encouraging that in March.
1891, she made her bow To the public as a
professional lecturer in the Universalist
Church before a crowded audience, COM
posed entirely Of her personal friends.
Since then she has lcctured successfully
in other places and visited Europe, where
she secured material for her most popular
talks on London and Paris and the great
sacred drama of the Passion Play.
She is Of old Revolutionary stock, being
