est discussion that the managers Of
the lecture course had had with the IL
cense board, during the afternoon, ara
therefore there was no astonlshmenC
when Mr. Holmes incidentally referred
in his lecture to the motion pictures
that were to follow. There was no OH

and there was no announcement or eT-
PLANTATION of any sort The ticket hold
ers We're not to be disappointed.
The lecture and the views We're eX-
cellent 'aThe Hawaiian Islands" was
the subject. The newspapers and
magazines have lately revealed in the
beauties Of our new territory, nut
nothing that has Yet appeared ap-
proaches the loneliness, picturesque
ness, freshness and, novelty of Mr.
Holmes views. The coloring IS arts
tic yet striking, and the effects OF
cloud, water, landscape and foliage are
altogether beyond the imagination OF
one who has not seen them.
There was the spice of variety, too,
for there We're enchanting views OF in

TOO HIGH.
Irwin Shot for His Own
Heart But Aim Was Poor.

Frank Irwin, % years old, attempt
ed to end his life with a bullet at his
home in Tatnuck, about o'clock yes

aimed for his heart, but the bullet went
high and penetrated the left lung
causing a severe hemorrhage and eX-
crucating pain.
The Worcester police were notified,
and the young man removed to the
city hospital in the police ambulance.
Late last night he was resting as com
fortably as possible, and that he is in
no immediate danger.
Irwin has been respondent for some
time, and since the death of his mother
some two weeks ago, has given away

INDIANS IN COMEDY.
The Experiment is Tried at the Worces-
ter Theatre.

ter Theatre.
For long time Indians have been
utilized for stage purposes, in Wild
West shows, border dramas and lurid
tragedies, and last night at the Wor-
cester Theatre was tried the red man
as a comedy motor. The experiment
lis called "A Stranger in a Strange
Land" and is by Sidney Wilmer and
Walter Vincent, who have metropoll-
tan aspirations for their piece after it
shall have passed through the New
England refining pot aspirations, which
it is feared are doomed to dIsappolnt-
ment.
The story of the comedy relates how
a young Englishman, Fred Thorndyke,
has as guardian an aunt, who is to pay
over his fortune when he reaches %,
provided his life up to that time meets
her approval Rusticated by her for
some youthful indiscretion, he goes to
America and reports from there the
fiction that he is engaged in cattle
ranching He is helped in his fairy
stories by q well-meaning old uncle
who, on his nephew's return, starts the
report that the young man has brought
with him an Indian who has saved his
life in the states. Both uncle and
nephew, unknown to each other, pre-
pare an Indian for the occasion the
uncle by hiring one from wandering
ouack doctor, and the nephew by dis
guising one of his friends. A detect
i've assumes the clothes of a third In
dian and thus there are three. All the
characters are privy to one of them,
and ignorant of the presence of the
other two: hence the complications,
funny at first, but towards the last,
forced and wearisome.
Another farce with an Indian for a
central figure, written by Louis de
| Lange, was tried at the Worcester The
atre about year ago, and died young.
| 1t is probable the new comedy Will be
similarly loved of the gods. The au-
| thors have carefully lodged the usual
theme of a frisky husband and shrews-
lish wife and their play is certainly
clean For that they deserve credit.
| 1t is hard in these days to be entirely
original and therefore if MY Friend
from India is at times strongly sug-
| gested, it is not a. heinOus fault. But
the thread of the complications is often
tangled and incoherent there is no in
terest created in any of the characters
to make us care what becomes OF
them; no entertaining or attractive
types are drawn; and so we cannot pre-
diet a success for "A Stranger in 3
Strange Land

return to the warm fireside, he espied
something in the tip-tOp Of one of the

mitted having buck fever, but Mr..
Goulding now denies the charge, with
righteous indignation. 1t has also been
stated that the young Nimrod thought
the object in the tree was a bear, but
Mr. Goulding will not dignity this
charge by a denial
At any rate. no matter what the
hunter thought, or how he felt at first,
he AT least drew a bead on the object
and sent a charge of "B B's' climbing

object was crashing downward. and
when it struck the earth it proved to
