meet Orange and Millers Falls, a distance
of II miles If built it will pass through
portions of Orange, Wendell, Erving and
Montague, reaching the villages, in addi-
ton TO those named, of Farley and Millers
Falls. If this road is hnilt aud the one
now being constructed from Templeton to
Athol completed, there will be a complete

VIII Dramatl1s "Jerome, a Poor Man,

Mary +. Wilkins, who by many persons
is regarded as the greatest American novel
list, has for many years been writing stories
which were so dramatic as to suggest the
theory that they were deliberately prepared
for ultimate stage use. 1t has remained,
however, for Walter Z Perkins, for several
years the star of "My Friend From India"
to realize the possibilities of one of Miss
Wilkins's best works, jerome, A Poor
Man" Mr. Perkins has secured the stage
rights from Harper & Brothers and will be
seen in the title role during the season.
While the main lines of the story have
been adhered to, and the delicate local
touches have been preserved, the quaint
and quizzical, rather than the sentimental,
praises of Jerome's character have been
emphasized. Miss wilkins is highly pleas
ed with the work of the dramatists. Mr..
Perkins's tour will open in New England,
where there has been great demand for
the production, due largely, It is supposed,
to the extraordinary popularity there OF
Miss Wilkins's novels.

NEW COURSE AT YALE.
sophomores No Longer Required to
stud. Ciassics and Mathematics.

Announcement Is made of the re-
viSed curriculum for the sophomore
class at Yale for the coming year,
which is regarded as one of the great.
est advance steps taken 10y the univer-
Sity in the last two decades The
main feature OF the change. according
to a New Haven dispatch to the New
York World, Is the sweeping aside Of
the tradition that the classics and
mathematics are the most important
parts of a students education and the
substitution for them of the modern
languages aud history.
Yale several years ago took the first
step toward broadening the academic
course by providing that the two upper
classes should not be obliged to study
the old curriculum. No change was
made al that time in the regulation
compelling students in the lower class
rs to study Greek, Latin and mathe
matiCS.
Sophomorcs up to this time have been
obliged to take five out Of six courses.
choosing from Greek, Latin, mathc.
matics. French or German, physics and
English literature. In this way stu.
dent was forced to take at least one OF
the ancient languages. and he could
not take both of the modern languages.
In the new course the sophomore is
allowed to take both French and Ger
man. and he may take two courses in
mathematics, Under the new arrange
ment student may omit the classics
and mathematics altogether in his sec.
Ond year.

Cincinnati Enquirer Thousands OF
people want to read Z. W. Howe's lay
sermons. in which he will during the
Sheldon week discuss the duties of the
clergy. Howe will maintain that the
modern newspaper is the greatest NOR
al and educational agency in the world
aud that, while its influences are eX-
panding and multiplying, the church is
not keeping step with the progress OF
the press and is losing its hold upon
the people.
He says he will prove this assertion
by quoting the most prominent clergy
men iu the country. Howe therefore
will point out the unwisdom of
preacher Of the gospel setting up
Christian standard for newspapers
while his efforts In reforming. resus-
citating aud reviving an interest in
the church are so greatly needed.

He says that toward the close of the

evacuated 10y the Roers, he visited the
trenches and counted 9S dead Beers

Of the lyddite. not one Of them having

Lieutenant Anderson declares that
the fumes Of the lyddite turned theS

Of their skin was strange yellow.
Fifty-two Beers were captured in one
Of the trenches. They were unable to

There was much joy in the local Repub-

Mr.. John L. Grubbs, the assistant post

for second place. He possesses magnet

man and a favorite with the masses of the

The Democrats admit that Roosevelt will

that they will name a pair at Kansas City

AS VIEWED BY DEMOCRATS.
Captain George D. Wise admitted the
strength of the ticket, but thought the
nominal ton of Roosevelt was an evidence
that the Republicans were uneasy about
New York State.
Secretary Joseph L. Lawless said:
Speaking from a Democratic standpoint,
I think the ticket is the strongest they
could have put up. 1t looks like they have
fears concerning New York.
Colonel John w. Richardson, OF the
Land Office, thought Roosevelt's nominal
ton would bring some strength to the

Distinguished Pennsylvania Talks
Politics.

Major ]. H. Caldwell, of Titusville, Pa,
is in the city. He is the owner OF the
splendid 'Varina" farm, in Henrico coun-
t., and comes down several times year

the National Convention, and said he and
his people favored the nomination OF Hon.
William Sulzer, of New York, for Vice
President.
Asked as to his opinion of the Republic
can ticket, he said it was a strong one,
but that If the Democrats would make
a proper platform and nominate the right
man for the second place, he thought they
had q good chance of winning.
Major Caldwell lives in the Twenty
Sixth Congressional District, which several
years ago nominated and elected Hon
Joseph c. Sibley to Congress. when that
gentleman was a resident of the Twenty
Seventh
