Brigade under Captain Karl Perry, cap
tured the eyes and ears OF the audience as
well as those of the "Maids." The solo
work was all so good that it is hardly pos
sible to select one for special mention.
Mrs. Fletcher's clear high notes were much
admired. Bertha Hunt did equally well in
her roles, being in excellent voice. Ma

tor his first payment. Mr.. Briggs stated
that each share holder would be furnished
with copy of the agreement and a certif-
cate of stock but such papers have not
materialjzed.
At the close of the meeting George M.
Cory was chosen local agent for the towns
of Rockingham, Grafton, Athens and
Westminster Mr.. Cory worked the local
field in such an effectual manner that he
soon had nearly all the milk producers en-
rolled who lived in his territory.
With view OF getting at the farmers
side of the story the writer interviewed
many OF the producers who were known to
have taken stock in the company. Mr..
Cory of Saxtons River was first seen. As
local agent, Mr.. Cory naturally was sup
posed to be thoroughly conversant with all
the details. Being asked as to his opinion
he said he had perfect confidence in the
good faith Of the company, though be
knew very little aside from what he had
heard. The scheme as outlined if carried
through was erainly good thing for the
farmer He himself bad acted simply as
an agent aud knew nothing about the con-
Germ except what Mr.. Briggs had stated at
the meeting. He had sold shares to 81
producers and had sent the money to
James D. Carr OF New York city. The
fact developed during the conversation
that the acknowledgement of the rece pr of
this money came from Agent Briggs. Be-
ing asked for a copy of the contract Mr..
Cory said that a completed list had been
forwarded to the secretary and no copy
retained.
Through the milk territory beyond Sax
tons River many shareholders were found
some of whom were thoroughly satisfied
that they had been gulled. Some took
stock because their neighbors did. others
because the agent had impressed upon
them the idea that unless they joined the
new company they would be lett out in the
cold as there would be no other milk route
alter October LIST.
Very few Of them had clear idea of
what agreement they had signed, occa-
.ionally a man admitted that he had signed
an sg- cement which was in effect promis-
sorry note to pay the company IS any time
after October LIST. As an evidence of the
e. Sc with which ock was sold, one of the
largest shareholder, states that he had
signed the sgreemen- without reading it..

vice presidents OF the milk producers

was seen. Mr.. White said the idea had

DEATH OF FATHER M'CABE.
He Assisted John Boyle 0ReiIIy In His Escape
From an Australian Prison.


Waseca, Mimi, Oct. 24.-Rev. P. NJ.
McCabe, a well-known Roman Catholic
clergyman, is dead of Brights disease
at st. Mary's, a small mission near
Waseca. His death recalls an exploit OF
international interest in which he was
conspicuous actor. 1t was Father Nc
Cabe who was instrumental in liberating
the political prisoner, John Boy!e
OReilly, who afterwards became the
noted poet.
O'Reilly was detected propagating
Fenianism In England. He was arrested
and sentenced to penal servitude. Father
McCabe was stationed at the Australian
prison as chaplain, and to him OReilly
confided his intention of making his es-
cape The priest offered to aid him. on
a dark night in 1869 the two met by ap-
pointment and the priest and the pris-
oner exchanged clothes. In this dis
guise OReilly departed in an open boat
without food or drink. After three days
of terrible exposure to the perls OF the
sea O'Reilly was picked up by an Ameri-
can whaler and carried to Liverpool.
Thence he made his way quickly TO the
United States.
The priest reported to the prison Of
ficials that he had been waylaid by the
convict, who compelled him to make The
exchange of clothing. When the truth
leaked out later on Father McCabe wa!
obliged to make hasty departure from
