THEATRICAL.

James r. Waite appeared before his
Harrisburg friends at the opera house
last evening in new line, playing the
title role in an interesting new play
adapted from the popular book Uncle
Terry" by Charles Clark Mum, and
dramatized by William Gill. Those who
witnessed the production saw play
equal to any of the successful play s
written from story life in the Now Eng
land States. "Uncle Terry" is ser
mon play which carries with it a lesson.
Numerous scenic effects make the play
more realistic and no detail was lack
ing in this respect.
The story OF last nights play is laid
alone the coast of Maine and starts with
storm at sea during binding snow
followed by the wrecking of "a vessel
and the casting upon the shore OF a
bundle which contained little waif,
IL girl, who later blossoms into hand
some young woman, and before her real
identity is known and her fortune res
tored to her many opportunities are
afforded for the introduction OF mum
ber Of typical New England characters.
Mr.. Waite as "Uncle Terry" was a
great success, and his rendition Of the
role was just what the author of the
story Intended it to be. His support
was of high standard.
During the play old time hymns and
songs are introduced, which add to the
play and make it more sermon like
Harrisburg Telegraph, September 2s,
1901.
"A Hndoo Hoodoo," which will be
presented by George W. Larsen and
his company on Tuesday will be a strict
ly high.class performance and one that
will prove most satisfying to local
theatregoers. The play has been a
laughing success in the larger cities.
To lovers of genuine hearty and wholly
pure fun it offers most refreshing
entertainment.
/
Madeline of Fort Reno" last evening
pleased those who like plays of frontier
life. The company is good one and
gave satisfactory performance.

Notice to MIX Buyers.

Notice is hereby given that on and
after Monday, October IA, 1901, the
price of milk sold by the milk dealers of
Freeland and vicinity will be cents
per quart when purchased in quantities
OF less than four quarts per day; to pur-
chasers OF four or more quarts per day
milk will be sold at the rate of 6 cents
per quart. Above prices are to con-
tnue in force until May l, 1901.
This slight increase in the price of
milk is made necessary by the increase
in the cost of hay, feed, etc, during the
fall and winter months. Patrons are
requested to bear in mind the fact that
milk costs considerable more to produce
during the above months and that the
small advance made barely covers our
increased expenses. Believing that our
patrons will concede us the right to ask
reasonable profit in the conduct of our
business, and requesting your further
patronage, we remain,
Respectfully yours,
Milk Dealers of Freeland aud Vicinity.

First 10 Wear a caln.boroush.

The great wheel-shaped hat with
pl,lnts that, during the travels of tina
celebrated picture which has just been
recovered, has been generally known as
"Gainsborough," or Duchess Of
Deyonshlre," was never associated in
the last century either with the artist
Of the duchess. 1t was invented by
Mile. Bertin, the celebrated mantua-
maker, to Marie Antoinette. The Queen
dio not think it became her, but it took
the fancy of the pretty and unfortunate
Princesse de Lamballe, who made the
hat popular. and it was known in Lon
doc and Paris as the "Lamballe.''
In the Ladies' Magazine for 1875 there
Is description of this hat, in which the
author described it it as "wide brimmed
and made of black velvet, surmounted
with punches Of ostrich feathers. It is
much patronized by the Princesse de
Lamballe, the Duchesse de Polignac
and Nine. Vigier Lebrun." Nine Lebrun
Is represented as wearing one of these
hats in one Of her most popular por-
traits.-Pall Mall Gazette.

u Was Thanksgiving Day. and tho
Cause Was Urgent.
Ore 81 he most famous CT the ole
Puritan a3Vines was DR.. Mather Byles.
Who was born in Boston in 1905 asi
who was the first pastor of the Hollis
Street Congregational church, to which
he ministered for more than forty years.
DR.. Ryles was famous as a humorist
and wit, and innumerable anecdotes are
related of his clever quips and retorts.
He was a jealous Tory and warmly l.
vocated the cause of "the mother couu-
try" against the colonies. In Noven-
Der, 1777, he was arrested as torv,
tried, convicted and sentenced to be
confined on board guardship and SER:
to England with his family within forty
days. The sentence was afterward coE,.
muted by the board Of war to confine.
ment in his own house, a guard being
placed over him with instructions no.
to permit him to leave his residence foy
moment under any circumstances.
On Thanksgiving morning, observing
that the sentinel, who, like many Of the
colonial soldiers, was simple rustic,
had disappeared and that DR.. By!ts
himself was pacing up and down before
his own door with a musket on his
shoulder, the neighbors crossed thu
street to inquire the cause N this singy
lar spectacle.
"You see," said DR.. Byles, "I begged
my guard to let me go out to procure
some cider with which myself and fam
lily might celebrate Thanksgiving day
but he would not permit me to stir. |:
argued the point with him, and he ha,
how gone to get the cider for me OF
condition that keep guard over myself
during his sence."-Boston Trau-

a Jungle TelephoN-.

The recent laying by the Moeara-
Enim Company of the telephone wires
through the Sumatra jungle was diff
cult and dangerous undertaking. In thu
forests were elephants, tigers, hogs and
other wild animals, and these were not
only a source of danger to the work
men, but they frequently uprooted the
telephone poles and dislocated the
wires. The natives steal wire from the
line to make and mend their traps. ThA
companies are obliged to place lip'
watchers at intervals of twenty miles =
watch and catch these wire wreckers
and also to quickly repair the linz
whenever it is injured.-Petroleum.
