Letter to j. w. kriner.
Emporium, Pa.

Dear Sir: When you build house
you want good paint next the wood
it goes long way in taking care of
the wood. The paint that has the best
chance to be useful is this first coat !;
first two coats; first three coats. The
first takes care ofthe wood; the second
takes care of the first; the third takes
care of the two. All three become
one and that one is to last forever.
Forever" means as long as the house
lasts. The way to make the first paint
ing last, as long as the house, is to fol-
low it up with repainting often enough.
How often? Depends on the paint.
Repaint while the paint is still water
proof All the wear is outside; there
is no wear on the under paint. This is
how the first painting lasts forever; by
keeping it covered keeping it sound.
And this is the cheapest way to take
care of house. But how often to
paint depends on your paint. If you
paint lead and oil, paint again in three
years or less if Devoe lead and zinc,
paint again in three years or more.
That "less" and "more" are about as
one to two. Devoe lead and zinc takes
care of a house at half cost, because it
lasts twice as long as lead and oil.
Yours truly,
II +. w. DEvoE & Co.

GOTF NO1ES


 At a special meeting of the board of gov crnors of the New York Athletic club on Tuesday night 1t was decided to take up the Fox Hills links on Staten Island, if enough each for the privilege of using the links. Paul A. Curtis, G. E. Armstrong, J. J. O'Donohue jr, J. H. Stead and J. D. Foot were appointed a committee on golf. An option on the property which expired We'd nesday was renewed under new conditions, which will permit of n lease for one year with privilege of renewal, and the club will have until next Tuesday to take it. The members of the committee feel confident that they will have enough subscriptions at that time to go on with the scheme.
 Douglas and Harriman's score of S7 held good to the end of the Atlantic City golf tournament Wednesday, and they won the foursome prize. James A. Tying, jr., and H. K. Toler landed In second place, and W. M. McCawley and D. A. Darby, H. A. Colby Marcellus were tied for third place. An ap- proaching and putting contest followed the foursomes, the conditions being that each contestant had to pitch from the tee to the green, q distance of sixty yards Arthur Hinds of the Richmond and Garden City clubs surprised everybody by hoing out from the mashie pitcn in one try, and mak- ing par three on each of the other two No one could beat him, and he got the prize.
 Levin Jones of Richmond, Ya., won the finals of the Lakeside Golf club tournament in that city Wednesday, beating W. Eel lOWpS MOrgHn at lulTly-SlN llOleS DV SIX uD and five to play. The consolation cup went to another Richmond player, R. H. Meade, who beat another New York, k. l.. Titus. by eight up and six to play.
 The course of the Country club deserves special mention, and the tournament com mittee and the club secretary, w. E. Edge gre to be congratulated in getting the course n the condition that 1t Is, and in arranging and managing tournament of such proportions with such marked success. The field which will drive to-day in the pre- liminary round of the open tournament. bears witness, however, to what golfers thought of the event. A more representa- tive field has never been seen together out side of the amateur championship, and some exciting sport is promised for the rest of the week. The course Itself can certain ly be ranged among the first three in the country It still needs great deal of work. ing and a few Improvements could be made in the arrangement of one or two of the holes. But it's possibilities are such that in n few years 1t will hardly have it's equal. Arden M. Robbins, Herbert M. Hartman, Tugh K. Toler, James A. Tyng, and Find lay S. Douglas all expressed themselves plainly in praislng the course, and even Harry Vardon in his reticent way agreed that it was an exceptionally good one.
 Findlay S. Douglas Is favorlte for the event which begins to-day. He has only to continue the game he showed on Tuesday to lead the field in the qualifying round and eventually ;n the coveted trophy offered as q challenge cup by the club

Grand Op ra House.

That hilariously funny farce What
 Happened to Jones' held the boards at the Grand opera house last night, and an extremely large house was highly entertained. This was the first per- formance of return engagement, the same company having played at the Hyperion earlier in the season. The piece abounds in uproariously funny situations and exciting predicaments which are explained and cleared away in the happiest manner imaginable. Those suffering with the blues will find this show a sure cure, as something mirth-provoking happens during every second of the three acts. The company is a capable one and the production one of the best of the season. Regular prices prevail. There will be another performance tonight and tomorrow night, with matinee tomorrow
 King of the Opium Ring" which will be seen at the Grand Opera house Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 9. 10 and Il, with matinee We'd nesday, has caused a sensation among theatergoers Delicate scenes are han dled with skilled pens by the authors, Charles E,. Blaney and Charles A. Fay lor and though bordering upon the "risuue" have no element to shock the most fastidious. The temptation of St. Anthony of old is brought vividly to mind, as this pagan character struggles between right and wrong, and he finally proves the great virtue of instilling Christian teaching into the heather soul by casting himself in penance be- fore his wooden idol The play was seen here earlier in the season and drew

MAY FESTIVAL PROGRAMME.

Preparations for the Big Event Almost
 Completed.
 With the May Festival of the c. M. T. A. about month off there is just at present big demand for the season tickets.
 The programme is being put together as rapidly as possible by the committee and 1t is thought the official programme will be out within a fortnight.
 Heinrich Gebhard, the young pianist who has been engaged for the Festival recital on Monday, May s. Is one of the first to get his programme in so by general request Mr. Shepard, chairman of the committee, has consented to have this one published separately. It is as follows:
 1. Prelude and Fugue. .... Bach-Liszt "Fabel," "Grillen'' und "Traumeswis-
 Sen'-Op. l2 Schumann' Ballade-G minor ................ Chopin 2. Songs-
 Miss Marie Florice Chase. 3. Introduzone ct Fugue and Im-
 promptu Caprice. ...... Clayton Johns Cappricio ..................... Brahms Melodie a la Mazurka. ....... Leschitzky Conte Serieux. ... Horatio w. Parker "Waldesrauschen' ............... L1szt "Gechichten aus den Wiener Wald"..
 .......... ........... ........ Schytte
 As has already been announced one of the most interesting novelties of the Festival will be the singing by the Gounod society, of s. Coleridge Taylor's two new choral works, the text of which was selected from Longfellow's "Hiar watha," and which are entitled "Hia- wathas Wedding Feast" and '"The Death of Minnehaha." As these are not of sufficient length to fill an evening they will be preceded by part first of Haydn's Creation"
 Of all the new works in oratorio form that appear from time to time very few are of sufficient merit to be produced. It is always the desire to hear new and it is the effort of ev- cry choral society to find those that are worthy of their attention, but 1t is rare- ly that those attempted prove to be thus worthy. This new composer, MT. Tay- Tor, has astonished the musical world by presenting two short works that are of great musical beauty and breadth of style These works have only within a few weeks had their first hearing in this l and are therefore an absolute l novelty to American concert goers. They are sure to attract attention, on ac- count of the curiosity to hear them, and | to receive universal commendation af- | ter they have been heard.

GAS PLANT AT WINCHESTER'S

One of the Largest Private Plants in the
 Country to be Built.
 The Pettibone company of New York will soon fulfill contract for putting in gas plant at the Winchester Repeating Arms company's factory This plant will materially decrease the factory's running expenses, as it is ex- pected that half a million feet of gas will be consumed daily, chiefly for fuel. The plant must therefore be one of the uargest private plants in the country. There will be no material changes in the furnaces. The system has operated very successfully in the case of the Bridge port Citizens Gas company. The Penn- sylvania Steel company has also found it satisfactory.

THE BOERS AROUND BLOEMFON-
 TEEN.
Lord Roberts Declining to Engage Bands Which Threaten His Commu-

Lord Roberts Declining to Engage
 Bands Which Threaten His Commu-
 nication.
 London, April 5.-Detached bodies of Boer horse, numbering from five hum dred to one thousand each, have appear ed at several places to the southward and eastward of Bloemfontein, threat ening the railroad, but communication by wire and rail is not in the least af- fected. One of these forces is near East Springfontein, on the Bloemfontein rail- road, and General Gatacres forces are reported to be about to engage it. Lord Roberts, except to safeguard the rail- road, seemingly declines to send col umns chasing the Boer bands. He is reserving his cavalry and transport an- imals for the forward movement.
 Explanations, having indirect origin in the war office, as to why Lord Rob- erts is inactive are that there has been a lack of horses for remounts, but now horses are arriving by trainloads hour ly. The pressure on the railroad is so great that private parcels and the off, cers' newspapers have not been for warded from Cape Town for three weeks.
 The situation in the Free State re- mains far from clear, and is unsa tisfac- tory to British observers. The sickness among the Boer prisoners at Simons Town continues to increase Five men died on April g.. The prisoners who were on board the transport Mongolian have been transferred to the shore camp. Unless the sickness abates it is not likely that more prisoners will be sent to St. Helena.
 A dispatch from Cape Town, dated yesterday, announces the departure for the front of the second contingent of 4 Canadian mounted infantry
