A Stranger In New York.

In spite of one of the severest transforms
OF the season the opera house was well
filled Wednesday to witness the first pres
entation in this place Of Hoyt's"A Stranger
in New York" Delegations from Chester,
Charlestown and Walpole were present,
but not all came who intended to. Had it
not rained, it is probable that every seat
in the house would have been taken.
Mr.. Hoyt has always been favorite
with Bellows Falls audiences, and his play S
always fill the house. Theater goers who
are acquainted with Mr.. Hoyt's style
thought they knew about what to expect
of "a Stranger in New York." but in some
respects they we're very pleasantly disaps
pointed. No one expects plot in play
Of Mr.. Hoyts, and in this particular one
there is even less plot than usual every
thing hinges about the French ball, but
the audience see no more of the ball than
they do of Chinatown in ga Trip to China
town." There is just plot enough or per-
haps more properly sufficient lack of plot
to allow the introduction OF II specialties in
each of the three acts.
Mr.. Hoyt rarely has poor actor in his
employ, and this is clearly demonstrated
in the cast which gives this play. Harry
Conner as stranger in New York was
marked favorite with the audience, as was
Floyd Wilson as Wright limit. Harry
Gilfoil as Baron Lands was very clever in
deed his imitation specialties evoked much
applause. George A. Beane as |. Collier
Down was the victim Of an unkind fate but
showed he was superior actor and clever
dancer.
The costumes worn by the women were
rich and entirely in keeping with the char
acter of the ball they we're attending. Miss
Jeanette St. Henry as Hattie, ''the best
fellow of them all, =" made typical woman
of the world, while Miss Nellie Butler as
Virginia Pryde, a Richmond belle, was
stunning. The dancing of the Misses
Angeles was cleverly done and much en-
joyed. A toe dance was executed by Miss
Amy Muller with grace and skill. Miss
Marie Willard has a magnificent voice
which she used with good effect in the bur
lesque on grand opera.
"A Stranger in New York" as play is
perhaps inferior to some of Mr.. Hoyt's
other productions, but so long as it is
given by artists such as gave it here, the
play will continue to rank as one of the
very best.

lating most heartily Chaplin Howard, Jr.,
of Meriden, Conn, on winning state
prize of 500 offered by the Sons of the
American Revolution for original essays
on subjects connected with the American

and a great number we're handed in, the
award is very much Of an honor. The
winner is the Is years old son of Chapir
Howard, formerly of Townshend, and hi
mothers maiden name was Miss Mary
Dean of Grafton. The essay is worthy O.
print and would be interesting reading
but other matters crowd it out.

THE SWORD OF LIGHT.

[Class poem for 1897 at Brown University
by Charles Ernest White.]
In that dim day, when myth held sway
In murmurous gades afar,
Were tales rich.fraught, and glimmering
thought
Come down from Alvatar.
Then lock bound fast, with wealth so vast
Times treasure-house was sure,
But bars outburst, and walls reversed,
That wealth could scarce endure.
So one small gem I'd crave from them,
One jewel rich and rare,
To give new light as beacon bright,
To rift life's darksome air,
A mellowing ray to melt away
The sudden frosts of life;
A tale of eld and within is held
A hope when life's sorrows are rife.

| These are the days when the summer winds
blow gently DER the land,
When the waters wash in ripping lines along
the edge of sand,
When the arrows of light at the early dawn,
shoot up thro' the mist of the east,
And silver the foam at the rise of the sun,
with the light that is ever increased.
And never till times shadowy wings o'ercast
our fading lights,
Shall we forget our nobler dreams, the plans
each heart indltes.
For tho the world may frown on us, tho
heavy be her hand,
We care not though she trouble us, and all
our ways withstand.
The skies in greyish monotones in morning
oft arise,
| At sunset evenings gorgeous reds suffuse the
western skies.
IT'S now we feel the mighty prestige of this
honor'd place,
Like the rounding of the circle on the
waters face.
So emulous may we depart from this smooth
swarded bower,
To plv the tasks with vigorous eal,-not
resting on our power.
The higher flies the lark above, the richer
grows its lay,
The nearer scars the soul to God, the sweeter
is the way,
And our short quest will have no fears, and
every danger lose,
Ii he looks down and smiles on US, and daily
strength renews, !,
Ir God-upheld and love-impeh'd, our sword
defends the right, 49,
IL may he when the battles done, we'll gain
crown Of light.

CAR HORSES ARE SCARCE
Although Superseded byElectricity
the Animals Cannot Be Found

One of the most curious effects of the
general replacing of horses by electric
ity and cable traction for drawing street
cars is being experienced by one of the
extensive car lines in this city which still
uses horses. One would suppose that,
since the only lines in the whole coun-
try which continue to use horses now
form but a very small percentage of
those which used them five years ago,
these lines. would have a. much wider
range of choice, and could get horses of
a grade superior to the general run of
those which used to be offered to them.
Remarka BILE as it may seem, this is the
exact opposite of the truth.
The New York city line referred to
runs in direct competition with the cable
lines OF the upper west side, and its man
ayers. who recently purchased it, de-
termined as soon as they came into pos
session to place upon it a superior lot
of horses, and in this way improve its
runring until mechanical propulsion
could be introduced. Orders were sent
out to buy the needed horses. Much to
the surprise of the managers it was dis
covered that there were almost no street
car horses of any kind to be bought.
in the fact that since the demand for
street car horses has almost ceased, the
trade machinery by which they were
gathered has fallen into dfsuse. A few
years ago the street car horses were one
of the most important features of the
horse market They were animals of
a standard grade and of almost stable
price, and every part of the country con-
tributed it's quota. The street car
horse had to be big and able and sound
Of limb and wind, but it might be of any
age. Few lasted long enough in the
service to make the question of few
years more or less of any consequence.
The demand was constant, and the
price never varied in New York more
than from about $125 to $3.50 each.
Dealers could always count upon get
ting in, promptly, and as consequence
every horse which would answer the
purpose was safe investment at little
smaller price. and clean profit of SO a

THE GREEK FINANCES
J
TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE
POWERS
Turkey Will Not Be Forced to Evacu-
ate Thessaly Unless the Indem-
nifty Is Guaranteed -

BERLIN, July 27.-The Cologne Ga
zette says that several of the powers, in
Guiding Germany, have adopted the
standpoint that the evacuation of Thes-
sally by Turkey cannot be demanded un-
less indemnity by Greece is paid or guar
anteed. AS payment of indemnity by a
loan is out of the question, the only al
tentative, the Gazette says, seems to be
international control of Greek finances,
and unless some such guarantee is in
cluded in the treaty of peace between
Greece and Turkey, it is questionable
whether Germany will recommend the
Sultan to accept the treaty.
ACTION LIKELY
PARIS, July PA dispatch from Con-
stantinople says that as the result of the
initiative of Germany, backed by Aus
tria and Italy, clause has been pre-
scented for embodiment in the peace
treaty whereby European financial con-
troll will be established at Athens. The
various foreign offices are now consider
ing the clause.

ARMOR PLATE PRICES
All the Manufacturers Decline to Sub
NIT Bids

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The armor
producing companies having declined
to furnish the navy department the
armor needed for the three battleships
now building at the price, 5000 per ton,
fixed by congress, Secretary Long has
taken the second step in the line marked
out by congress and has called upon the
ship building companies themselves TO
submit proposals for preparing and fit
ting the armor One of them, the Union
iron works Of San Francisco, has al
ready responded, declining, like the
armor companies, the departments in
vitation. There is little doubt that the
others will make like answer, although
there is a small chance that some of
the ship builders may combine. to secure
control of ors. of the plants which the
armor makers profess their readiness to
sell, and turn out the armor they need
for the ships in their hands If, however,
as is expected, all the ship builders re-
plies are unfavorab BILE, Secretary Long
will proceed one step further and APP
point board of officers to carry out the
direction of congress and frame plan
for the establishment Of a government
armor plant.

Clear Starching for Muslin Gowns

The art of laundering Swiss and other
musilins so that they look like new is not
difficult to acquire. After washing the
clothes and drying them perfectly make
about a quart of thin raw starch by dis
solving a tablespoonful of dry starch in
a quart of water. Dissolve a little soap
in the mixture by rinsing small bar
of white soap in it until it. is little
soapy.
Test the starch by wetting little Of
the cloth in it and ironing it While 1t
is still wet. If the cloth is not stiff
enough use little more dry starch in
mixing it. Wiring out the article in the
raw starch and after thoroughly clap
ming 1t lay it in a sheet and roll it up
firmly.
In an hour iron it out on the wrong
side. If the lawn is dark colored 1t must
be starched with glue. Dissolve table
spoonful of common glue in a quart OF
boiling water, and when the Jumps are
gone stir it into a two-gallon pailful OF
warm water. Starch the material in the
mixture, after testing it to obtain ex-
actly the proper consistency for the stuff
when "dlone-up.' Dry the article
starchedi in glue starch and sprinkle 1t
and roll it. Iron it carefully on the
wrong side 1t is great mistake, even
in the present time of the revival OF
starch, to make dresses or petticoats
too stiff; they should be stiffened to the
consistency of new cloth. Petticoats
may be a trifle sitter, but they should
not be stiff enough to rattle.-Boston
