The DEVILS Auction.-The attraction

The DEVILS Aucti0n.-The attraction
ut the Howe Opera House Friday even
ing, 1.-THE Devils Auction" was one of
the best entertainment ever seen here
and was ATTENDED by large audience.
1t was a spectacular performance, the
scenery, costumes and mechanical effects
being OF the very best. The dances were
novel and well done. Specialties made
up good part of the performance and
these were all frst.class. The funny
work by Harry M. Brown and "the imp
of darkness" Eddie Snow, kept the audi
ence in roar OF laughter. The Brothers
Phantos, aerial grotesque, did some
clever work on ladder balanced on a
trapeze, the balancing and pole climbing
by Colby and Dewitt as the organ
grinder and his monkey was marvellous
performance. There was some wonder
full trick bicycle riding by Alex. Decca,
some comic songs and dances by Miss
Maybe Mayo, ballet dancing by Con-
centlen Chitlen and Fraulein Wasserman,
some songs and cake walks by Harry M.
Brown and Mabel Harrison that took
the audience by storm and lots OF fun
with a trolley car. In the cast of char
acters the parts were all well taken. The
company is good one individually and
collectively. The music by the orches-
trial club of ten pieces was excellent.

A Lively off Year.

There will be an unusually large
amount of politics to the square inch in
Vermont this year even il it. is an on
year. Following the local elections in
March the campaign for other positions
will begin in earnest. The succeeding
contests will involve the election OF a
governor and a complete line of state
officers, two congressman and county
officers besides members of both Houses
OF the legislature. Then will come the
election Of United States senator, mas
much as Senator Proctor's term will ex-
pire next year, and the disposal of diff
lerent positions within the gift of the
new governor or legislature, including the
election OF judges OF the supreme court,
the appointment of commissions and the
filling OF various other important posi-
tions. Under the circumstances the YER
mont politician will have little oppor-
tunity to complain of monotony in 1898.

the words of praise bestowed upon the
social committee" OF the Woman's Club
for the delightful entertainment provided
by them tor its members and their gentle
men friends, last Monday evening in
Pythian hall. The reception was given
in place Of the regular monthly afternoon
meeting.
The guests were received by Prof. ano
Mrs. Henry Fairbanks and Prot ana
Mrs. D. Y. Comstock, after which as
many as could be, were seated TO witness
the performance of John Kendrick Bangs
farce. 1.-THE Fatal Message" The play
represents company of young people
rehearsing for an amateur theatrical per-
Torrance and their mistakes and finally
the complete failure caused by the fatal
(telegraphic) message of one OF the COM
pany are set forth in a most laughable
manner
Following is the caste of characters:
Mr.. Thaddeus Perkins, in charge of the cur.
tain, Mr.. !. A. Thorne
Mr. Edward Bradley, an undtr.study.
Mr. Robert Yardsley, stage manager.
Mr. Charles G. Bralcy
Mr. lack Barlow, cast for Henderson Feath-
erhead, Mr.. Carl II. Turner
Mr.. Chester Henderson, an absentee ,,,
Mrs. Thaddeus Perkins, cast for Lady Ellen.
Mrs II. w. Blodgett
N-''' AN- w. Miss Pike
Mrs. Edward Bradley, cast for Lsdy y, Ana
ranth Mrs e. ~. Rahoali
Jennie professional waitress,
Mr.. Thorne's work was more than
amateur and approached the professional.
His makeup was good and he CONFUSED
the audience in his frantic efforts to raise
and lower the curtain at the proper time.
Mr.. Braley had an excellent conception
OF the duties of stage manager and MIR.
Ruiter and Mr.. Turner showed that they
were perfectly at home in amateur theat.
ricals. OF the ladies, Mrs. Blodgett had
the most difficult part and it was well
conceived and personfied. The other la
dies did well, and all hope that the great
success OF 1.-THE Fatal Message" will lead
to the presentation of other plays by the
same caste.
After the farce the audience adjourned
to the banquet hall, where in social
groups around prettiy arranged tables,
they were served to salads, rolls, cake,
ice cream and coffee. Mrs. William {.
Tyler presided at one table, Mrs. James
Richie at another and Mrs. Robert Mac
kinnon and Mrs. c. B. Weeks at third.
Following the supper pleasant hour
was spent in the parlors in social greet
ings and conversation.

For the last few days he has been
