RED ROCK CLINICS TO NAME,
Story of How Town Came by It an ] It's Sturdy Resolve Not to
 Change It.

"Up in Columbia county" said a man who spent the summer up the Hudson, to New York Sun reporter, lis Red
 Rock, a small hamlet, 26 miles from
 Albany and near East Chatham and Greedy Lake. Now. Red Rock isn't much of a place, but there is something interesting about it that I fancy all the world doesn't know. The pres- ent name is not the one. it has always borne, and what its other name was l don't know. Whatever it was the people did not like it, and concluded they would change it. There was no particular reason why they should call it Red Rock, but that was determined upon, and so Red Rock it became. Then in the course of time strangers of an inquiring turn of mind began to ask why the place had such a name, and as no reason could be given, new corners to the neigh hborhood began to want a name that meant something. This insistence grew so strong that the old residents began to look around for a reason for the name of their place, and at last they found huge bowlder near by which they said was what had suggested the name. But the powder was gray instead Of red and the pro- gressionists insisted that that would not do. At last, the old-timers hit upon a new plan, and procuring bar rel of red paint, they painted the big rock red. Red Rock, indeed, it was now, and not only was all opposition to the name overcome, but the painting of the rock every spring has become an annual festival, and the people cele- brate it with a big picnic and general celebration. It was a new idea to me, and if there is any other town any where on earth that is christened every spring with red paint or any other color, 1 don't know where it is.'

If one can opine from the roars of
 laughter which greeted the production
 once more in this city of that old time
 success, ''The County Fair,' at Polls
 theater last evening, the play was
 highly pleasing to the audience pres ent, which was one of the largest and most representative of the season. There is nothing intricate in the plot of the play, if it has any plot, the story being only simple story of rural life, depicting in wonderful manner the quaint and curious, the simple and warmhearted characters, so typical of rustic life.
 Neil Burgess, who has been seen here several times before, and who has a warm place in the affections of the theater-going people of Waterbury, portrayed as Abigail Prue, the char acter of a warm-hearted New Eng land spinster whose eccentricity is productive of many amusing and laughterproducing situations. He was at once humorous and pathetic, witty and sorrowful, resolute and un- determined, warm-hearted and indif- ferent, in word he played and acted the role in such manner that one, who was not cognizant of the person playing the role, could not detect the least sign of masculinity about it. The character of Otis Tucker, the ac- Wooer of Miss Abby, who would like to, but hadn't the courage to propose to her. was ably portrayed by Edward $. Metcalf. Miss c. Blanche Rice as Tags, rather mischievous and a little deceitfuI though faithful was a favorite with the while Eddie Jackson, her friend and companion, did the little he had to do in a fair manner.
 During the third act the County Fair quartette rendered several pleas ing selections and the entire company danced the Virginia reel. The scenery was beautiful, especially the scene at the Rock Bottom farm in the second act. As whole, the pro- duction was fairly acceptable to the large audience.

HELEN KELLER IS A MARVEL.
Deaf, Dumb and Blind, Yet She Gains Thorough EaucaticE-Her
 Student Life,

Helen Keller, the deaf, dumb and blind girl, has overcome tremendous obstacles and is now progressing we'll as student at Radcliffe, says an ex- change.
 The bulk of her preparation for college was accomplished under Ar thur Gilman's instruction, aided by Miss Sullivan, for several years her teacher. By the employment of sev- eral ingenious instruments she mas tered geometry and algebra, while with raised letter books she has se- cured grasp on English, Latin and Greek. Her examiua tion papers were in the Braille raised point system and the answers she wrote on a type writer, in the use of which she is an expert. Besides passing in all the required subjects, Miss Keller has entered Radcliffe with freshman Eng fish and advanced Frenc-l to the good.
 At the lectures Helen is invariably accompanied by Miss Sullivan, who sits close beside her and gives her, in the manual language, whatever the instructor may be saying. The fine ness of her soul and the exquisite na- ture of her thoughts are evidenced by the essays written during her preparation.
 For all Helen Keller's remarkable intellectually she is, in the main, just pleasant, normal girl. She rides tandem, sews, crochets, embroiders, and, most marvellous of all, plays a capital game. of chess. She is with out doubt the most wonderful college girl the world has yet seen.

1.-THE CADET GIRL"

The announcement that we are to have "The Cadet Girl'' at Polls on Wednesday evening. with the full strength of MT Chamberlyn's company and the production complete as it was given in New York and Boston. has aroused the livelest anticipation among local lovers of fun. Ordinarily these big musical comedy organizations are very largely cut down when sent to the one and two night stands. and Manager Chamberlyn would undoubt- edly do so with 'The Cadet Girl'' were it to stay on the road for more than week or two. As it is, however. it will be seen for less than a week at a time in only few of the cities in the immediate vicinity of Boston, and it would not be good policy to do- so where the fact would become so quick ly known as here. The result is that the entire organization of eighty-five persons will be seen in it's production here. The same great east of princi- pals which the New York Herald de- clared was enough to carry any two musical comedies to success. and head ed by the .infmitable Dan Daly. and the same Superlative production that requires three cars for transportation. will be brought here. It will without any question be the biggest and hest production of musical comedy in Wa this season. Sale of seats

MISS ANTHOMY'S ARGUMENT.
It Fell Like a Bomb in the Midst of Her Male Antagonists and
 Settled Them.

Miss Susan B. Anthony, the veteran woman suffra gist, has always had a lively wit, and there is more than one example in her recent life, by Mrs. Ida Husted Harper, of her nimble use of il in the behalf of her sex, says Youths Companion.
 During her experience as a school teacher Miss Anthony got her first practical insight into society's injus- tice to woman as q worker. Repea ted ly she would take school, which a male teacher had been obliged to give up because of inefficiency. and, al- though she made thorough success, would receive only one-fourth of his salary.
 Her first opportunity of calling at tention~to the injury done the teach ing profession by sighting it's women members came during the state con- yention in 1853. Two-thirds of the teachers in attendance were women, but not one of them spoke, nor was their presence recognized in any way by the men.
 Toward the close of the second day the question under discussion was: Why the profession of teacher was not as much respected as that of doe tor, lawyer or minister?''
 Miss Anthony, having listened for some time, rose, but only succeeded in gaining hearing after half an hours heated debate as to whether she should be permitted to address the meeting. She had remained standing, fearing to lose her chance, with her heart beating a tattoo, and permis- sion being granted, she said:
 Tt seems to me you fail to compre- bend the cause of the disrespecs of which you complain. Do you not see that so long as society says that wom- an has not brains enough to be doe tor, lawyer or minister, but has plen- ty to be a teacher, every man of you who condescends to teach tacitly ad- 1nits before Israel and the sun that he has no more brains than a wom- an?"
 As may be imagined, this little bomb was d:sconcerting to men and =Fomen alike.

HEROIC AMID DANGERS.
ia Many Instances Proved Their MettIe.

During the progrsss of the war in South Africa many stories of individ- ual heroism have been told. A French man writing from Bloemfontein, testi- fies that the English women there are remarkable for the cheerful stoicism with which they endured the anxiety and discomforts of recent conditions. He indulges, also, in other comments that are interesting.
 "Cne may observe among English women," he says, "the same thing in the matter of graeefulness that one notices among the men in the mat ter of politeness. There is no mean. Either the English woman is extreme ly graceful, pretty, elegant and even recherche, or else she is quite ridicu-, lous, i'll dressed, sharp-featured and plain-the sort of woman for whom there is no word in the French lan- guage. The great poet Heine wrote once that a man who could see and understand no woman was plain. I always believed him. Alas! I had not seen certain English women, and Heine could never have seen them either.
 "An. English woman who is pretty and clever possesses abundant charm, but I have seen French women by.no means pretty who have made them se.ves so pleasing that they were to be preferred to classic beauties. In Eng land, however, when a woman misses being good-looking the case is hope less. She knows not how to walk, talk, please or narrate, and is compelled to take refuge in heroic endurance of her plainness.''

The two real hearts kept the seclusion of their rooms during the day. They feared the vividness of their bushes would cause flames to break out in the hotel.

Somewhere" he sighed, there is a land Where gentle breezes sweetly blow Where sparkling wavelets kiss the strand. Where lovers wander hand in hand

 And dream the sweet, old dreams no

She is one of the few women of the stage who are genuinely funny. An artist to the tips of her diminutiye little fingers. she has the opportunity in 'The Cadet Girl'' to do something be- sides looking pretty enough to eat and little enough to pet. and it is said that she has improved the opportunity in such a manner as to make her pres ence on the stage at all times con temporaneous with hearty laughter.
