Saturday Night.

While many dramatic productions
of Daudet's novel, "Sapho," are re-
ceiving the attention of the public,
none has received SO much praise as
the one which will be seen at the
Barre opera house June 2. The rea-
son is obvious. 1t is entirely destitute
of the grossness and suggestiveness of
the other versions. B. b. Valentine,
who is responsible for this version, is
well-known dramatic critic with a
record of ten years in that capacity on
the New York Herald, and has taken
infinite pains, it is said, to evolve a
good acting play, which shall in no
way offend the tastes of the best class
of theatrical patrons. His characters,
both men and women, are people of
the world, but he has exhibited such
in handling these creatures that the
Valentine "Sapho" will probably sur
vive all it's contemporaries. An ex-
cellent company, 1t is claimed, will
give the play here: it's members have
been carefully chosen. Wherever the
play has been seen nothing but praise
has been bestowed upon it. Costumes
and scenery, both of which are very
elaborate, have been made by the very
best artists.

Scarcity Of Water.

The city council are considering
the advisability of having the East
Barre water turned on as quickly as
they can get around to it.
This is owing to the fact that the
water in the Bolster reservoir is low
ering daily and unless something is
done Immediately the city will be
short of water.
The Barre Water Co.'S, case is now
before the Supreme court judges and
they are to be petitioned for dcci-
sion as in the event of matters going
against the city they would like to
make some arrangements to get an
extra supply of water.
The East Barre water is not to be
turned on for general use but only in
case of a fire SO as to save the other
water as much as possible.
The question of placing meters on
is also being discussed as it has been
pointed out that there is daily
waste of water beyond any reason.

SENTENCE SUSPENDED.

Mrs. G. Longeri Of Center street
was raided yesterday afternoon on dis
closure of j. Simmons of Montpelier.
She was brought before Judge Boyce
on two disturbances, keeping and SELL
ing, and was fined and the liquor con-
tiScated. AS soon as she entered the
Office of the judge she noticed Sim
mons sitting there and Immediately
made a dive for him to tear his eyes
out. 1t took all the help around to
hold her for a few moments, but she
soon quoted down and although she
threw some fierce glanccs in the direc-
ton of the informcr, she waited un-
til the judge got through with the
charge, received her sentence and left
vowing vengeance on the head of the
man who brought her into court. y
Sentence was suspended until next
week. Simmons was tined 1920.

Good Base Ball.

The Burlington baseball team
which played here Memorial day is
composed of some of the finest players
in that city but did not have any
practice. The many cranks who
were present at the game and saw the
kilograms play say that the team,
with practice, can hold their own
against any team they may run
against. Jack McLain, the catcher,
was handicapped with bad glove
but he has purchased new one and
with little practice will be able to
hold any pitcher he may run against.
The balance Of the team will only
need the necessary practice.

from Berlin that the situation in China is
far worse than it was in 1898, when the
emperor was dethroned. The governor
of Kiao Chau and the commander of the
German east Asia squadron have recelv-
ed full powers to deal with any contin-
gencies affecting the lives or property Of
Germans
A Dispatch from Yokohama says that
the newspapers there regard the situation
in Korea us most serious and demand
that Japan assert her influence in the
country. The resignation Of the entire
ministry is probable owing to the fact
that the Liberals are demanding seats in
the cabinet.
A Japanese cruiser has been ordered to
Tientsin.
The following has been received from
Tien tsin:
The Chinese authorities have refused
to allow the Russian troops to pass the
Taku forts.
Resieged Belgians Safe.
The French and German Ioscuing par
ty has returned from Changh-Sin-Tien.
They confirm the report that the besieged
Belgians are now safe at Picking. They
found several thousand Boxers about
the ruins of Lu-Kow-C hiao and Changh-
Sin-Tien stations. The bridges have
been damaged and the rolling stock de-
stroyed. AT both places the damage done
is considerably greater than at Fang-Tai.
The members of the rescue party saw
several bodies of Chinese tearing up the
sleepers. and in one case mandarin was
looking ON. They further report that the
missionaries and others escaped from
Pao-Ting.Fu in boats.
Tho Imperial railway directory is en-
dcavoring to fnstcn the blame for the
damage at Fang-Tai on the foreign en-
ployees, principally the British, who,
they say, should not have left their posts.
| The foreigners, however, did not leave
until they saw Lu-Kow-Chas station,
five miles away, in flames and an at
| tack had actually been made on an en-
CINE from Fang-Tai which was running
on the L,-IIan line in an attempt to res
cue the Belgians.

The corn market was dull, and save
for a momentary dip, firm. Light re-

with some sympathy with wheat, were
the influences. The shipping demand
from New York was slow, but better
from Philadelphia and Baltimore. Re-
