Sunday last Galveston, Texas,

Sunday last Galveston, Texas, was
visited by an appalling hurricane and
tidal wave in1icting terrible loss of life
and destruction of property not only
in that city, but all along the Gulf line
and inland points. For seven hours
the storm ragged with unabated fury,
the roar of the wind was accompanied
by sounds of falling walls, broken
glass, and the ripping and tearing as
section after section of tin roofing was
rolled up like sheets of parchment and
hurled hundreds o. ct away. In the
meantime hundreds of people were
meeting death on every hand. Above
the roar of the wind, the dismanteling
of strong building, the crash of flying
windows and other debris, another and
more terrible noise was heard. 1t was
the rushing of waters that undermined
huge brick walls, tumbling and crush
ing them as if mere soap bubbles. In
side those walls were men, were wo-
men and were children. From their lips
came no sound, no shriek-nor was
there any fainting. With blanched
faces, and an abiding trust in merci-
full God they went down in death by the
thousand. Shipping and huge wharfs
monster structures supposed to be
disaster proof-were broken, crushed,
and buried beneath the rolling noun
tains of water. Buried with them were
hundreds OF human beings. Death and
destruction reigned with demoniac fury
for seven long hours. The appalling
disaster when flashed over the wire
momentarily paralyzed the Nations
heart, but the rapidity of American
thought and action soon put sympathy
at work, and ere the sun had warmed
the ruins, hundreds of thousa ands O.
dollars in money and supplies were
being rushed TO the scene OF desola
tion. The American heart may be Sc
ON amassing money! but it is noble
warm and sympathetic heart that al
wsys opens wide the purse string upor
the first cry from suffering humanity

THE OPENING NIGHT.

1t seemed like trip away from
Woodstock to step into the beautiful
new music hall last evening, which
was opened with an excellent per-
Torrance of Denman Thompson
and George W. Ryers character
play, "rhe Sunshine of Paradise
Alley" The brightly lighted audto-
rum, with its rich furnishings, Il
big stage and the finest of scenic
appointments. together with a ca
pable company behind the footlights,
are all that are needed for the enjoy
ment of any audience, and all these
it was Woodstock's pleasure to
have.
The success.of the stage pictures
was due in great part to tn. electric
light effects in several colorS, this
equipment being very complete. a
beautiful moonlight scene was thus
presented, and the other pictures
were as brilliant and pleasing.
The house was filled, Of course,
and long before the overture by the
orchestra, under the direction of \.
l.. Ordway. every seat was taken.
Every seat is good one. so every
body was satisfied.
The play presents four pirtureo OF
New York lite and, being one of
Dcnman Tnompson's plays, it has
plenty of humor and pathos, good
music, good singers and actors. The
audience was ready to be amused
and was responsive, and perhaps the
players fc.t the stimulus of Il first
nights applause. At any rate this
opening night was grand success
from the beginning.
The Paradise Alleyites are no re-
minders of Denman rhompson'S
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1900-10-13

other creations, but as a contrast are
quite as truthful and picturesque
There is the "t.ugh girl, and 4
tougher vouny man. but along with
these the play also gives us some
good, wholesome characters - the
Widow McNallv for one.
Miss Phila MAY, ("Sunshlnc")
is well known in concert work, but
comes to Woodstock as an excellent
actress as well as charming singer.
The other players and singers were
very acceptable, and the music and
dancing added II great deal to the
nights entertainment.
The play will be repeated this
evening.
THE MUSIC HALL.
The town hall is on the first floor OF
the building and measures 80 by 81
feet with Il seating capacity OF about
600 persons. The following descrip-
ton of the opera house, with it,,
stage IS by so feet, is taken from
the Inter. State Journal and Adver-
tiser, and is written by the architect
of the building, Arthur II. Smith
of Rutland 4:
Passing up the main staircase one
notes the easy ascent gained by Use
of landings, from the second of
which, on each side opens mezza-
nine cloak room lighted by the oval
windows seen on front of building I;
while at the third landing level comes
the great colonial staircase window
lighting the entire hallway. This
window with It's harmonious curves
and delicate mouldings has fine
effect. A single broad flight OF steps
leads from this latter landing to the
opera house floor level, the main
swing doors to which are directly
ahead and those to gallery stairways
on ctl.er side. This apartment ha S
been planned rs Il modern thcatcr or
opera house with sloping floor,
curved seats, sunk orchestra, with
splendid. drop curtain, scenery and
stage appointments. The plaster
walls here have been treated in an,
old rose tint with stenciled orna-
ment in light green, the woodwork
being cnamelled cream white with
the plastic relief ornaments on pros
ccnum arch and gallery front touched
out in gold. The acoustics of the
room are good and from every seat
in the house an equally fine view of
the stage can he obtained. Chairs
upholstered on the seat and finished
to match the decorations have beer,
provided for about 100 persons on
the main floor and so in the gallery.
The building is lighted by cleo
tricity and heated by two hot air
furnaces burning four foot wood,
the warmed air being carried to the
several apartments and circulated
back to the furnaces through brick
tlucs built in the walls. the entire
system being controlled by hampers
at the registers,
All the windows are provided
with cypress venetian blinds made
