If the former allegation is correct, Mr. Jolly is ineligible.

 The Prescott Electric company is arranging to metallic all of its tele- phone lines, and for this purpose will shortly order a new 300-point switch board. Five years ago when the svs- tenn was put in 1t was thought that if fifty subscribers were obtained it would do well, and a switchboard of that capacity was placed. It was not long until this one had to be doubled and the company has been adding to it ever since, until they have one now with capacity of 250, which is found to be too small.
 Harry Corson Clarke made his first venture as a star in What Happened to Jones'" With his own company he toured for three seasons in that capital comedy and added greatly to his popularity wherever he appeared. His impersonatiOn was so artistic. So humorous and altogether so intelli- gent that two dramatic critics. who witnessed his performance, grew en- thusiastic over his work. and offered to write comedy especially for him that would bring into play the full range of his versatile talents. The re- suit is What Did Tomkins Do?" and 1t Is no secret that the title came to Mir. Clarke as mamma from heaven. Nc less certain is 1t that his practical knowledge of the stage has proved to be at once the inspiration and motive power for his dramatists. Dake'. Opera House, Thursday evening, No vember l5.
