government was simply a small polit-

Mr.. Dewey was director OF the piano de-

He is mourned by large circle OF friends
and musicians, who tenderly express their
sense of personal loss aud the loss the

GARDEN THEATRE

f. r. Kennedy of Burlington, president
OF the electric road, has been in town, and
when asked regarding the rumor that a gar
den theatre was to be opened by the direc-
tors OF the road at Dewey Park this sum-
mer he said 1t was true and that the con-
tract with the company would be signed on
Monday.
The company engaged is OF the comedy
drama and vaudeville order. 1t is under
the management of Q. H. Carleton and is
said to be first class in every way. The
construction Of the theatre and stage was
begun today under the supervision Of Su-
perintendent Andrus and will be rushed
to completion so that 1t is expected daily
performances will be begun at the Park
within short time.
Ample room will be provided on the
stage for dressing rooms and scenery. No
admission will be charged, the railroad
company paying the theatre company a stip-
uated sum and in turn looking for rem-
bursement from the additional earnings
because OF the extra number of people pat
ronizing the road because of the amusement
furnished.

FOR FAMINE SUFFERERS.

The citizens mass meeting TO consider the
famine in India and to assist in its relief,
held Sunday evening in Trinity church, at
tracted very large congregation. Five Of
the seven churches in town were represent
by their pastors and by goodly numbers Of
their members.
Each Of the five pastors were assigned
topics and were limited to eight minutes
Rev DIR. Norman Seaver was assigned on
the program to speak on "The makeup OF
the present population Of India" but was
introduced by Mr.. Judkins without an
nouncing the subject. Dr. Seaver's open
ing sentences created a tremendous sensa-
tion, and the proprieties OF the time and
place alone prevented the great congrega-
tod from applauding him. He said: Zone
thought comes to me, with no reflection
upon the brother who has just read that
call, and that is the abominable inpudence
OF the English government to issue such
call for assistance for its starving people in
India, when 1t has expended S310 600, 900
and sent an army of 25O,OOO men to crush
out people in South African who has as
good right TO live as we have, and ex-
pended only $40 900. 900 to aid the starving
people OF InCia. IL it were alone to sup
plement the help England is giving India
that we were gathered tonight, might my
right hand forget its cunning before /
would give any thing to help them" Dr.
Seaver then spoke from the humane end of
question and supplemented the remarks OF
the other pastors with an earnest plea for
help for the starving poor in that stricken
land
A collection amounting to Sl09 was taken,
and the benediction was pronounced by
Rev. w. j. Cloues.
