process is patented, and that the farmer
is infringing on the rights of the paten

In only one case out of the ten patents

fed week ago that Dreyfus had trea.
sonable relations with German officers
in the house of woman named Dob.
son. De Brenill obtained leave to speak
reiterating his former testimony and
claiming that this could be ratified by
i}odson's former valet dc chambre. This
excited general laughter.
a hostler named Georges, another of
NJ. Beaurepaire's witnesses, testified that
he saw Dreyfus at Mulhouse in 'S6 at
tend the German maneuvers on horse
back in company with German officer
named Kullman. Dreyfus explained
that he was frequently at Mulheuse on
horseback, but never associated official
ly, or in any other way, with German
officers.
Captain Kullman was then called and
denied riding with Dreyfus to see the
maneuvers.
Major Lenormier, who was a member
of the bureau with Dreytus, testified
that they all knew the accused was not
going to maneuvers in '94 and it was,
therefore, improbable that he wrote that
part of the bordereau which said, 81
am leaving for maneuvers."

The water famine is beginning to be
felt quite severely in Montpelier. The
use of hose for sprinkling lawns, gar
dens, or streets, or for washing windows
or sidewalks is forbidden. Leaky fix
tules are to receive an overhauling. A
pumping station is being constructed at
Berlin Pond.
There can be no doubt but matters at
the pond are in serious shape. There
is water enough in the pond itself, but it
is rapidly evaporating so that the flow

voir with the pond is growing less.
The water now running through the
channel is less than five inches deep.

The First Appearance of MIR.
Fresh.

"The Finish of Mr.. Fresh" one of
Greater New York's latest and most sue
cessful, wittiest and most winsome and
whimsical farce comedies, is to be pre-
sented at the Barre opera house, on Sat
urday, Sept. 2. a chance open week for
one night performance having given Mr.
Lapoint rare opportunity, of which he
was quick to take advantage, paying the
biggest percentage in annals OF his
house. The novelty and mirthful mag
netism of the play and the notable
strength, talent and versatility of its me
tropolitan cast, warrant the assumption
that popular appreciation will fully JUS
tify the exceptional cost incurred.
Mr.. U. r.. Fresh, an uncommonly
perfect stage porlraiture of a not uncom-
mon class of social adventures. is the
happily hapless central figure in mas
terly plot of pleasantries and pleasure
founded upon gay Bohemian phases of
city life, novel even TO the majority Of
New Workers themselves, and admitting
of the appropriate, effective and artistic
introduction of a wide range of funny
and fasinating characters, bright and or
iginaI music by Prof. Leon Austin, of
London, England, typical songs and fin
ished vaudeville speciaties. Artful
dodger, as Mr.. Fresh assumes to be, he
hopelessy emmoshes himself on a net
of the most Judicros and unexpected
complication, to his own utter undoing
and the jmmeasurable delight of the
spectators Of his cOnvulsiOn finish.
Negotiations are pending for an early
production of this great American sue
cess at q prominent London theatre.

HE DIDN'T PUNISH THEM.

John Philip Sousa's greatest personal
hobby is punctuality, and he IS pune
tuality in the members of his band too.
When a bandman is late, he receives a
severe reprimand. Precisely at four
o'clock each afternoon Sousa is in his
place, baton in hand, ready for the first
number.
On a recent afternoon an accident oc-
Cured on the railroad leading to the
beach which delayed twenty musicians.
Of course they thought Sousa would not
begin the concert with so many absent.
AS they neared the theatre, about five
o'clock, sounds of music came through
the windows.
I'VE will wait until he starts up one
of his marches" said a bandman, "and
then march on the stage in single file.

This was done, and it so pleased Sou
sa and the audience that the impromptu
piece had to be repeated.
After the concert the delay was ex-
planned, and the musicians still hold
their Jobs.

In company with a friend she was driven
in her own carriage to the front entrance
of a city theater about 5 o'clock that night
They left the carriage and went to the
managers office, where the second lady
| had an appointment regarding a charity

Matters becoming a little dull for my
friend, she begged leave to wait in her

Neither coachman nor ootman was on

that the horses had been hitched to a
lamppost.
She entered the vehicle, quietly closed
the door and awaited developments.
Presently both of them emerged from a
nearby saloon, and, wiping their mouths
on their coat sleeves, mounted the box
after unhitching the horses.
Then this conversation aoated down to
her:
Wonder how long the old girls going

"Well,I don't blame her. He's a hard
proposition, he is, l guess he must have
married her for her money"
"You needn't guess again. You're it,"
BY this time the poor lady below was in
a condition bordering on frenzy.
She bit her lips until they almost bled,
and her heart grew cold as she thought of
the cruel ingratitude of these men, whom
she had always treated with kindly con-

WHY MR.. DAILY WAS "OLD HATS
When the late Augustin DAILY was in
managerial life, he was never by any
possible chance called by and other
name within Days than governor
that is, every enc in the theater SO ad-
dressed him behind his back and TO
his face. You never heard any n say
to him, Mr.. Daily, some one wishes to
see you" 1t was always Governor,
Mr.. Blank has called or Governor,
shall we ring up?"
The only professional exception to
this was on the outside of the theater,
where fippant actors used to refer to
him as "Old Hats" on account of Mr..
Days long familiar neglect of his
headgear. For years he wore n Pc
culiar style of hat, long since out of
fashion, half derby, half soft hat"
and often so old and rusty in appear
anee that actors used to swear it was
the original title" in which he entered
the profession.
But it was not. Mr.. DAILY liked the
departed style, and when his old fash
toned hat became thoroughly worn out
he would deliberately order a halter to
make for him another n just like it.
Hence "Old Hats"
