rlr. Flockton's Play.

The Boston Globe of March 9, gives
the following in reference to the reading
Of "Hagar and Ishmael" by c. P. Flock
ton:
AT the Playgoers' Club yesterday
afternoon c. P. Flockton OF Mr.. Sothern's
company, read an original drama, en-
titled 'Hagar and Ishmael' to large
and interested audience.
The play opens in an Egyptian court,
and treats Of Pharaoh's regard for
Sarah, whom he supposes is not the wife
of Abraham, but his sister, this Hebrew
deceit being denounced by a soothsayer
who prophesies Abrabam's divine pun
ishment.
The first act opens with Palestinian
harvest, when Isaac, the late born son of
the aged couple, is still a child and by
Sarah's insistence, Hagar and her illegiti-
mate boy are driven forth.
The last act is in desert among wild
beasts, where the outcasts seek refuge,
and at the dying child's prayer, are re-
frcshed with water by an angel, who
predicts the greatness Of Ishmael's pros
perity. The dialogue is almost entirely
in Bible language, and is couched in a
most devout spirit"

Home Missions.

Last Sunday morning at the South
church Mrs. Ida V. Woodbury. OF the
American Missionary Association made
a strong appeal in the interests OF the
negroes snd the poor whites in the South.
Among other things she said, 1--WE
have 100000 men in America who
are sunk in the depths of ignorance, sin
and degradation. We have 5000, 900
more voters in this country who can
neither read nor write than there are
men, women and children in the whole
island OF Cuba. In five states in the
South there are more iliterate people
than there are in the country of Ireland.
Unless the people who have had these
privileges thrust upon them are taught
their use the country cannot long stand.
We have 100000 voters who cannot
read the ballot they hold in their hands,
and / 100000 Of them are in the South.
There are in the mountains OF Ken
lucky, Tennessee and other states 1000
900 whites, seven Fights of them native
born, who need your help. These people
are not the poor whites like the ones
who have mixed blood, but like our
selves are Of direct Anglo Saxon descent.
The American Missionary Association is
educating these people; it is driving out
the saloon. / close with the words o.
one of the old men of the mountains
For Gods sake give us chance!"
In the afternoon Mrs. Woodbury. spoke
on the same subject at the mems meet
ing at the Y. M. c. A. and in the evening
she gave another interesting address al
the North church.

MOTHERHOOD.
Mrs. Pinkham Declares No Woman
Need Despair. a.,

There are many durable causes for
sterility in women. One of the most
common is general debility, accom-
panied by peculiar condition Of the
blood.
Write freely and fully to Mrs. Pink
ham. Her address is Lynn, Mass. She
will tell you, free Of charge, the cause
of your trouble and what course to
take. Believe me, under right condi-
tions, you have fair chance to become
the joyful mother of children. MRS.
Lucy LYLE, 255 Henderson St., Jersey
City, N. j., certainly thinksso. Shesays:
~ am more than proud of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
cannot find words to express the good
1t has done me. I was troubled very
badly with the leucorrhoea and severe
womb pains. From the time was
married, in 1882, until last year, I was
under the doctors care. We had no
children. I have had nearly every
doctor in Jersey City, and have been
to Belvin Hospital, but all to no avail.
I saw Mrs. Pinkham's advertisement
in the paper, and have used five bot
ties of her medicine. 1t has done moro
for me than all the doctors I ever had
1t has stopped my pains, and has
brought me fine little girl. have
been we'll ever since my baby was born.
I heartily recommend Mrs. Pinkham's
medicine to all women suffering from
sterility."

Another Shoe rleeting.

The Board Of Trade rooms were
crowded last Friday evening with
the stockholders OF the shoe factory,e
who came to attend the meeting ad!
iourned from two weeks ago.
The meeting opened with Pres.
Cowles in the chair and the report
of the last meeting was read by Sec.
Smythe. The former meeting was
adjourned until this date. in order to
give the directors a chance to prepare
a balance sheet, to present to the
stockholders. Sec. Smythe read this
sheet which showed that the assets
of the corporation were $6,45S.49
and the liabilities SIS, 557.28, leaving
a balance of $9O1.2O. There are
some expenses for lawsuits and other
matters that cannot be accurately
estimated, but after all the affairs
are settled there will be left at least
the factory and machinery which is
valued at about $15,000. The in
ventory has been made so low that
the directors consider it perfectly
safe, as in many instances the esti-
mate was cut down from what was
considered fair value.
IL. Eldridge introduced the fol-
lowing resolution
Resolved, that the directors be en-
powered to negotiate for manager
and to report to an adjourned meet
ing.
No action WINS taken on this as
nothing can be done until the notes,
to the amount of $4,000, which were
endorsed by the directors, are paid:
Many of the shoes which were
made by Mr.. Stocker were returned
on account of the quality, but good
shoes can be made here as was
shown by the 1876 cases made by
Pres. Cowles after the resignation o
Mr.. Stocker. Experts have beer
here and say that the trouble witt
the shoes is that the lasts and pat
terms do not fit, but that this coult
be easily remedied. The directors
have in hand propositions from va
rious parties who wish to come herr
and run the factory, but nothing
definite has been done. The factory
was started here to benefit the towl
and during its short existence pait
out to help and in other ways owe
$4,000, which was all circulated II
this village, and all the stockholder
expressed an earnest desire to hav
the factory started again under new
management, as soon as the presen
difficulties could be adjusted.

A New Book on Cuba.

General Fitzbugh Lees new book en-
titled "Cubas Struggle Against Spain"
is one of lasting interest, and is both an
elegant and durable production. 1t is
the only book he has written or will
write. 1t contain about 500 pages, and
many full page illustrations, many Of
which were gathered by the author him
self while in Cuba, while Others are pho
tographs of vivid scenes that have been
taken during the past two years.
General Lees work in Cuba gave him
an opportunity to know the whole
truth and he now ful6lls the duty by
giving the whole truth to the world.
The work will include realistic record
of every significant event from the day
that General Lee arrived in Cuba as
Consul General until the day of his de-
parture, the unpublished facts of the de-
struction OF the Maine, the American
relief work, and the motives and acts OF
leaders, American as well as Spanish and
Cuban.
There is an undoubted general interest
in the personality OF the author, due not
only to his family connections but also to
the prominent part he has taken for
many years in the public affairs of our
nation, and lifelong friend and neigh
Dor of General Lee has been commissioned
to write his biography, together with q
genealogical sketch of his distinguished
family, all of which will be incorporated
in the work. The prices of the book ar,
for best English buckram, $3.75; hal
Russia, $4,75; and full Russia, $5.75

Fire at Barre.

The large granite plant OF Mackle,
Hussey, & Co., at Barre, was completely
destroyed by fire last Monday night.
There were SO men on the company's pay
roll. The plant and the fixtures were
valued at about $4,000. There was a
large amount of finished work all ready
for shipment, this and rough stock being
valued at from $25 900 to 100000. All
this is a complete loss, no part of the
building being left standing. The gran
lite cutters employed at the sheds lose
about $4,000 worth of tools. Mr..
Mackie owns several houses and has
always been one of Barrels most indus,
trious citizens. The loss falls very heavily
upon him. Whether he will rebuild or
not is very doubtful. The firm are OF the
opinion that the fire was incendiary
and as nearly as can be ascertained II
started in the boxing room. The water
supply gave out during the fire owing to
the small size of the pipe.
