The Entertainment Course.
THE SECOND AND ONE OF THE MOST
ATTRACTIVE OF THE SERIES.

That the lecture committee of the
Mems Club have secured rare treat fol
Newtown in the next entertainment
which takes place at the Town hall or
Monday evening, December 6, there can
be no doubt, comprising as it does an
exhibition by one of Edison's wonders,
the vitagraph, impersonations by Albert
E. Smith, and caricature in art by
j. Stuart Blackton. Speaking of the
wonders of the vits gra pin the New York
Times says: The audience sees before
them what appears to be large window
opening out on pretty bit of landscape,
showing few trees, the leaves culver
ing in the breeze, in the background a
range OF undulating hills and coming out
from the dim perspective to the fore
ground, the brightly polished tracks of
railroad. Several workmen are busily
engaged in repairing the railroad en-
bankment. Suddenly there appears in
the distance, just emerging from among
the trees, a cloud of steam, which in a
few seconds shapes itself into the out
lines of an onrushing train, and then the
Black Diamond Express thuuders by at
the rate of go miles an hour. Every de-
tail of motion, the rapid rise and fall of
the piston rod, the escaping steam, and
the waving of the firenan's hat and the
passengers handkerchiefs can be plainly
seen. Then in a twinkling the whole
scene disappears, and before the audi
ence hangs only the canvas SCREEN"
Of Albert E. Smiths work the follow.
ing interesting clipping will show what
may be expected. ''Mr Albert E. Smith
gave very delightful entertainment on
the evening of May 15. Mr. Smith is q
master prestidigitateur, a most pleasing
ventriloquist. and an unrivaled shadow
graphist. His entertainment gave the
highest satisfaction
The combination is very strong one
and if it does not pack the old Town hall
it will be very queer. The following
clipping appeared after a recent enter
tainment: THE Smith Blackton Vita
graph Combination was enthusiastically
received. Many words of praise we're
beard at the close of this novel and inter
esting entertainment. Blackton delights
with his art and Smith mystifies and
charms his audience with his clever
work. The Vitagraph is so realistic that
one wonders at the genius who gave it
to u.s."

An Exciting Time With Wea-

"PoP GOES THE WEASEL ~

Well, we've danced that tune with the
weasel himself to-day, and no day last

more than in trying to kill this fellow

game that destroys eight or 10 hens for
the blood of one meal, we always start
for our wives, because "they own the
chickens!" While showing him with all
the pride of an "old trapper,'' he sudden
ly backed out from under the wire and
ran across my wife's feet. This, of
course, announced that the ''time had
come" for Strickland it came! The
woman was "lost to view" instantly, but
had the ''varmint' shut safely in the
kitchen. Grabbing a broomstick l went
for him, and he went all over the sinks

and round the chairs and tables, seeming

HOW THE QUESTION TOOK TWENTY YEARS
AGO.

A6Os
1t was our intention, last week, to call
particular notice to the letter published
in our columns regarding this subject,
but press of business, and want of space
prevented. The very clear statement
given in the letter of B. 81. Hull,
civil engineer, should convince all of our
citizens that the matter spoken of is
practicable, and it needs only the COM
bined efforts of one and all to make tt is
important enterprise a success. 1t has
been estimated that $4,000 would be a
sufficient sum to carry out this project,
embracing the building of reservoir,
and laying at least one mile of 4-inch iron
pipe, besides furnishin six fire hydrants,
to be located on our beautiful street, and
300 feet of hose rubber, which we would
not have to go out of town for. 1t may
seem to some of our readers bold step
for us to make here in this village, but
SO it seemed to the residents of New Mil
ford, and yet before they finished their
water works they expended $25000, and
to-day, though it has not been in opera
two years, the stock cannot be purchased
at par. For the encouragement of our
citizens we have the pleasure of stating
that one Individual, who at present is
| mentionless, agrees to take one tenth of
the stock If the rest can be made up.
Win not our citizens make an attempt,
| and secure for this village what it has
long needed, good supply of water2 II
we only make start we will find that
one project suggests another, and such
improvements will add 60 thel.---e of
property, and secure, for those follow
ing after us, great blessing.
Since writing the above we learn that
at the invitation of Marcus G. Hawley,
Joseph Richardson, President of the
Bridgeport water works, visited our
town on Monday afternoon, and they, in
company with William J. Dick, looked
| over the whole subject again, AID Mr. R
expressed himself as being very favor

liken, of Deering. Milliken &

said, speaking of the results Of their in

1--WE have found the South very in
wiling field for investment in the matter
of cotton manufacture You have the
cotton at your very doors, and your labor
is not so we'll employed as in the East.
Besides this, your labor is the true
article, and therefore more contented,
more tractable and therefore willing &c
work for reasonable pay 80
Mr.. Milliken intimated that the results
of their visit would be the expenditure Of
considerable money i'll cotton mills in the
states visited.

GRAND SYMPHONY CONCERT.

GRAND SM FL YIN CONNEhl.
It seems almost incredible that we are
to listen to symphony concert in Maine
by grand orchestra of forty men, most
of them Maine musicians; that we can
again listen to the bird-like notes of
Lillian Blauvelt. that vision of beauty 10
look at, and that naturally clear and
beautiful voice TO hear; that Ha MS Kron
old, the spirltuelle player on that most
wonderful of all instruments, the yiolon-
cello, will again lift ones thoughts up
ward with the delight full pathos of his
music; that Mr.. Chapman with his en-.
thusiasm and his baton which seems to
possess some magnetic power, will again
stand before us, and that we can listen to
his mastery direction of the grand sym
phonies, with some light bright, Eoperatic
and ballet music as well-aIl this seems
almost too good to be true, but Messrs
Chapman and Chase promise it, and
afterwhat they. have g ven us at the grand
festival, we have faith to believe they
mean what they say. So all are looking
forward TO the second week in January
when with one night in each of our large
cities Of Maine, these choice concerts will
be given. Tickets will soon be put on
sale.
