"ToLL GATE INN"

A stirring ColonIal ROmsnce by a First
Glass Compsny---scenes Laid in snd
Around the Old Catamount Tavern
at BennInEton.
1t is seldom that Brattleboro theatre
goers have the opportunity of witnessing
in their own town play so strongly pre-
sented and of such sterling qualities as
"Toll Gate Inn," LangdonMcC Cormick's ro-
nance, which was presented at the Audltori-
um last evening. The scenes which were SO
well depicted are supposed to have taken
place during the Revolutionary war at the
time of the battle of Bennington, and are
laid in and about the old Catamount tav-
ern. Although no actual warfare takes
place on the stage there is an atmosphere
of strife throughout which gives zest to the
play and keeps up the excitement during
the duller moments. The plot deals chief
ly with the love affairs of the heroine Hes
ter Pennington, whose brother is arrested
as a spy by Captain Smell because he has
discovered the latter's treachery TO the
American cause. After many complica-
tions the brothers. innocence is proven by
the aid of Poatchie, half breed, who is a
devotee of Hester, and Captain Smell is
taken away to receive his just deserts.
Col. Maitland of the American army gains
the hand of Hester as a reward for his true
American conduct, and loyalty to the
cause, and Hester's brother in turn falls
captive TO Col. Maitland's sister. Through
out the four acts the attention of the
audience is held in a remarkable manner,
shown by the fact that hardly person left
his seat last evening until the curtain drop
ped at the close of the final scene.
Little else but praise can be said of the
company. Every part was well taken.
Perhaps the best acting was done by John
b. Weeks, st. Albans boy, in the role of
Poatchie, the half-breed. Mr.. Weeks por-
trayed in a manner well calculated to i'm
press his audience the silent, sim pie devo-
tion of the half-breed to the heroine. The
subtle traits of the Indian as well as the
recklessness and fire which came from his
French blood we're strongly brought out,
and the closing scene in which POatchie
brings to light the brother supposedly dead
and restores him to his friends is a capital
bit of acting. Miss Victory Bateman gave
a strong impersenation of Hester PennIng-
ton, the stanch, loyal Green Mountain girl,
torn at times twixt love and duty to her
country, and won the sympathy of all by
the way in which she arose above the
temptations which surrounded her.
David Murray as Col. Maitland did credi-
table work as did Arthur l.. Mccormick
and Miss Frances Whitehouse in the parts
of Ned Pennington and Dorothy Maitland.
The play is given in Springfield, Mass,
tomorrow night and then goes directly to
New York city for a run in one of the
theatres there. The same company which
gave the play here will appear in New
York city.

G. B. NJ. Harvey, editor and proprietor of
the North American Review, was yesterday
elected president and managing director of
the publishing firm of Harper & Brothers.
The stockholders have felt for some time
the desirability of obtaining as the active
head of the company a strong, energetic
man, who, having experience, should also
be young enough to handle effectively a
large organization. Col. Harvey was asked
to take the position because Of his success
in journalism and in business. The cir
cuation of the North American Review
has doubled since he took possession of it
last May. Col Harvey is the Vermonter
who was editor-in. chief of the New York
World before he was 80 years old Retir-
ing from newspaper work he became VIM.
G. Whitney's private secretary, and
through association with him acquired
great wealth in few years. He repre-
sents the Whitney interests in many large
corporations.

HARVEST DAY

Wednesday, Nov. az, Time Appointed
for Remembering Ihe Home for the
Aged.
Wednesday, Nov. %, will be observed as
Harvest Day at the Home for the Aged.
1t will be remembered that an invitation
was extended to the public for a visiting
day about the first of January, to which
the response was cheerful and generous.
A great many articles, useful, ornamental
and eatable, were brought, also sums of
money, from so cents to So, by those who
found it more convenient to contribute in
this way. These sums, amounting in all
to about $16, purchased a number of need
ed comforts for the home-a pair of nice
blankets, a dozen dinner plates, tray
cloths, cooking utensils, hammock, etc.
This is mentioned so that the donors may
know how and where their: gifts were ex-
pended and also know that they were fully
appreciated and carefully handled.
So successful was the day and no call
upon the public in behalf of the Home
having been made since that time, it has
been decided to hold such a day
this year and in the following years,
just before Thanksgiving, to be known
as "Harvest Day at the Home"
and we trust this day will come to be one
of the "red-letter-days" in our town.
Thanksgiving is good time to give thanks
and little something besides. The visit
ing committee were more than pleased with
the kindly and generous response to their
call last year. Now we ask you to come
again. The Home has grown during the
year; four new rooms have been added and
the little family enlarged by four new
members. Everything has been made as
CHEEKY and homelike as possible.
Come and see us. Some of our farmer
friends came last year; we hope to see
them again next Wednesday. Let all re-
member that anything that is useful in any
of our homes, however small the article
may be, is acceptable, from load of wood
to a bar of soap or spool of thread. Re-
member also that small things count up
fast and don't stay away because you can
not bring something big. Don't ring the
bell, leave your gift and go away. Come
in and see the folks, have a social chat and
warm lunch. Let the children come
with a little gift. 1t will do your big boy
or girl good, and give them an interest in
an object which we feel sure is going to be
great benefit to our town. The ladies'
are invited to bring jellies, pickles or
canned fruit. We wish 1t distinctly under
stood that every gift is for the use, com
fort or benefit of the members of the
home.
Through the kindness of Miss Emma
Dutton we have the use of a piano and
have arranged for some music, vocal and
instrumental, TO enliVen the day. Don't
forget the time-Wednesd Nov. %,
from 10 A. NJ. to 6P. NJ.
ANNIE p. DAVENPORT,
Secretary of visiting committee.

The committee on pension legislation
appointed at the recent national encamp
ment of tn Grand Army, had an extend
ed interview with President Mckinley
Monday, and presented to him the report
asking for modification of certain regula-
tions relative to pensions. The report asks
the President, If he deems it within his
authority, to issue an executive order to
the effect that in determining the pension
able status of a soldier and in fixing his
rate of pension, the several disabilities
which he may have sustained shall be
grouped and taken into consideration.
The report further asks the President to
direct that the practice of refusing pen
sions to widows of soldiers who have in-
comes of 500 year or more be discontin-
ued and that the limit of income in such
cases shall be raised to $3.50 a year. The
committee stated that Mr.. Evans, the COM
missioner of pensions, was heartily in ac-
cord with the suggestions, he maintaining,
however, that the remedy lay entirely with
Congress, as in his judgment the existing
pension laws did not warrant such construc-
tion. The President assured the members
of the committee that their remarks would
have the fullest consideration.

The Bennington Banner, which has
been issued as a semi-weekly the past two
years, follows the lead of the Bellows
Falls Times, and announces that it will
change back TO weekly Dec. l. The
publishers state their experience, while
not proving that asemi-weekly cannot pay,
has brought out the fact that there is no
half way place between a weekly and a
daily and that a semi-weekly does not
bring an increase in the subscription list
over the weekly paper. The advertisers
mainly prefer the last edition of the
week, giving as their reason that Fridays
paper is kept and read thoroughly Sunday
by all the family, while the Tuesdays
issue is read only hastily. The main rea-
son, however, is because the people prefer
the weekly paper.

Tutuila, the Samoan island which falls
to the United States in the recent arrange
ment completed between Germany and
England, subject to ratification by this
government, becomes an extremely valua-
BILE addition to the possessions of this
country in the Pacific. With but a
small area and population, which according
to the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, are
but "a square miles and 1000 population,
it possesses the most valuable island har-
Dor in the South Pacific and perhaps in
the entire Pacific ocean. Commercially,
the Samoan islands, singly or as a group,
are unimportant, so far as their local pro-
duction or consumption is concerned, but
extremely important in their relation TO
the commerce of any nation desiring to
cultivate trans Pacific commerce.

Ex-senator Edmund. on the situation

Ex-senator Edmunds on the Situation.
From Philadelphia Ledger's interview
81 think that, inasmuch as the Senate of
the United Stales ratified the treaty with
Spain, and thereby the United States be-
came the SOY reign over the Philippine
Islands, the situation must be dealt with
as it is, and not as we might wish it should
be.
"Spain at the time of the treaty was, in
the international sense, the sovereign of
those islands, for the rebellion, however
strong and however good its prospects of
success might have been, had not reached
that stage of success which had produced
the recognition of the Powers of even a
state of belligerency, SO far as know.
THE consequence is that the United
States is responsible as a sovereign to all
other nations for the security of their sub
jects, and in respect to all international
rights

The Providence Journal believes that
Mckinley is assured of four years more in
the White House because of "the seeming
ly ineradicable foolishness of his hetero-
geneous opposition" Later in its discus
sion the Journal asks this poser: "With
the Republicans working for the open
door in China, for sound money and for
the maintenance of the national honor,
what inducement is there for thinking
men to vote for demagogues who attack
the supreme court, threaten the stability of
the currency, sneer at the army and navy,
and recommend surrender to treacherous
Filipino rebel?'

The Hartford Courant believes that If
the Republicans want vice presidential
nominee from west of the Mississippi Gov
Shaw of Iowa, former Vermonter, is the
man, and gives him this endorsement:
"His political convictions are as sound as
wheat, and he isn't the least bit in the
world nervous about avowing them. He
was a conspicuous and gallant figure on
the sound-money firing line when older
politicians-more shame to them were
trembling and hunting for cover. He car
ried his state brilliantly in 1897, and he
has bettered the performance this year"

In four weeks after the destruction by
fire of the Richford Furniture company's
plant, $50, 900 was raised, a new company
formed, the business exempted from taxa
tion, free water voted by the village and
work on the foundations of new building
begun. The new concern will employ
about 50 hands and will be ready to do
business in 80 days.
Gen. Hughes, with strong force,
moved from Iloilo on the 9th for the pur-
pose of capturing Santa Barbara, the rebel
stronghold in Panay. Heavy rains greatly
impeded the movement, but the American
advance was practically unopposed. Aran-
ita, the rebel leader, was captured at Tag
banan. Company G of the Goth regiment,
took part in a skirmish in which three
Fllipinos were killed.
A man supposed to be Walter F. Nichol-
son, the inmate who escaped in his night
clothes from the Waterbury asylum last
Friday night by twisting the bars of his
room window, was found in the hay of Geo.
Johnson's barn at Barre, Wednesday
night On being found he jumped through
the window, carrying the sash with him to
the ground, distance of 80 feet. He was
traced to the road by drops of blood that
dripped from wounds. The man was
dressed in an ordinary suit of clothes.
The company that is building the Roch-
ester electric road is financially embarrassed
and work has been practically suspended
until some arrangement is made. The
company, of which H. N. Burgett was pro-
moter, found difficulty in floating the
bonds. 1t is understood that Ward d
Douglass, the Barre contractors, may be
secured to finish the road as far as Stock
bridge this fall. 1t is in running order
from Bethel to Gaysville now. The $50,-
600 raised in the valley to the company is
payable only when the road is completed.
Some plan of completing the road will
doubtless be put through Randolph
Herald.
