THE SILENT WOMAN.

The Burlington Free Press In com
ment.ug upon the work Of the stud.
ents OF the University OF Vermont in
their presentation Of "The Silent
Woman" says:
Every character in the cast played
well his part. The honors were fair
ly divided among the actors. Mr..
GrouJ in the eXacting sold man role
Of Morose, sustained the excellent i'm
preston that his Roister Doister had
produced. His stimulation of the
husky voice and uncertain step Of
the paevlsh old noise. hater was ad-
mirabiy artistic and his portrayal Of
the poor gentleman's torment was
among the best effects of the play.
Mr.. Larchar, the Merry Greek of
last year, won at the outset the favor
of the audience and ste eadily increased
this by his fine shading Of voice and
gesture, his graceful movements and
his complete sympathy with his merry
role of Truewlt. Mr.. Auld gave much
color to the character of Sir Dauphine
the nephew, by his rich and clear
tones, and the intense earnestness OF
his humorous plots. Mr.. Cory made
a genial Cleirmont; "the reading" of
his lines showed careful study and his
I bearing was very easy and natural. Mr..
O'Halloran, as the snowy lack-wit, Sir
Amorous La Foole, did full justice to
the extravagant manners of the sim.
pering fop and lady killer; being ably
seconded by Mr.. Robinson in the
companion role of Sir John Daw, the
silly courier and solemn poet. Mr..
Wright deserves much credit for his
representation of the disguised gentle
woman. His feigned modesty as
maid contrasted cleverly with bis
boisterous and loud commanding as a
wife. The voice and manner of Lady
Naughty we're deliciously mimicked
by Mr.. Marsh, and his shrill cackling
laughter were ludicrously achoed by
the highly keyed speech Of Lady Cen
taure (Mr. Williams) and the soft
drawl of MISTRESS MaviS(Mr. Martin).
Those three "collegiates" constituted
noisy chorus to the many humo.
rous situations; anod their affected
airs and graces we're always enjoy able.
Mrs. Otter, shrew and virago, was
ably impersonated ty Mr.. Donahue,
the old nurse Of Roister Doister.

ROMANCE
Alleged To Play a Part In
VERGENNES AFFAIR
Examiners Still Working On
The Books

Vergennes, April lS.-There are nc
new developments In the Farmers
National Bank case today except that
there are many rumors In circulation
and the remarkably friendly senti.
ment which the people of Vergennes
entertained for Cashier LIE Wis is fading
away and its place is being taken by
one Of opposite character.
The work on the books is still going
on, but the examiners will be unable
to make any definite statement OF the
condition of affair, for several days.
c. E Holiday, representing the
American Surety Co., who gave the
$40, 900 indemnity bond Of Cashier
Lewis to the directors of the Farmers
National bank, iS here, and will stay
until the condition of the bank is as
certaioed. Mr.. Holiday acts as an
inspector for the company and is re-
ported as one who either gets his man
or secures satisfactory settlement.
50 it will be seen that uDless Cashier
Lewis can reimburse tLis company for
bis bond, there will be a charge by
them to which he must answer in ad-
dition to the charge of embezzlement.
Some attempt has been made to
mix romance with criminal cunning
in this robbery but no confirmation of
the rumors can be secured. 1t is true
that for months past Mr.. Lewis has
been somewhat intimate with Mrs
Francis p. Hulett of Boston or one Of,
it's suburbs and she is reported to be
wealthy. Mrs. Hulett j. here stop
ping at the Stevens House and still
associates with Cashier Lewis the
same as before the crime was discov-
cred. 1t is stated that she furnished
the $25, 900 which Mr. Lewis turned
over to the ::bankof1iclals buv this is
another uncontirmed rumOr as neither
she or any of her friends will in any
way indicate whether she or Mr.. Lewis
were engaged or anything about their
relations.
Conflicting statements have been
published regarding the alimony paid
by d. II. Lewis to his divorced wife,
Fanny Lewis. She has given out the
statement that she has received only
$5 per week instead of $l5 as publish
ed elsewhere but it is stated by those
who were familiar with the divorce
case that the court gave her an ali
mony of IS and $3.50 week for her
son who was given into her custody.

THE 26TH.
Vermont Boys Are Report
cd Safe
At HONOLULU
They Will Be In San Francisco
Sunday

Washington, April 18.-The trans
port Garronne with Massachusetts an6
Vermont volunteers from Manila hai
been reported. She was at Honolulu
and will be at San Francisco in two OF
three days. The Garonne was long
over due and great anxiety was felt
for her safety.
A good deal of anxiety has been felt,
particularly in New England, where
the troops on board the Garrone were
recruited, as to her safety but the
quartermaster' department never has
felt seriously apprhenslve. The re-
port that the vessel was at Honolulu
simply justi6es their guess that the
smaller vessels of this type plying be-
tween San Francisco and the Orient
would be obliged to stop at Honolulu
for coal in the event that the head
winds were encountered.
The news of the safety of the Gar
rome came in a message to the quar-
termaster-general from Col. Long, the
quartermaster at San Francisco. His
message stated that the Occidental
and Oriental Commercial Line steam
er Doric arrived today at San Fran
cisco and has gone into quarantine.
She reported that the government
transport Lawton left Honolulu for
San Franciscn IA hours ahead Of her
with three cases of smallpox aboard
and she was momentarily expected lat
San Francisco. The Garrone, with
the 26th Infantry was coaling at
Honolulu on the ninth and is expect
ed at San Francisco in two or three
days.

A SERIOUS CHARGE
Of Making Use Of Mails
FrauduIentIy
Especial to TELEGRAM

Montpelier, April 49, Word has
reached here that Joel K. Emerson
until recently an accident insurance
agent in this city was arrested yes
terday afternoon in Nashua, N by a
u. S. Marshal charged with fraudulent
use Of the mails.
He left here Monday and was ar
rested as soon as he arrived in Nashua.
The officers came here for him but he
had gone before they got here. He
had hearing this morning and will
probably be taken to Rutland for
trial.
1t is alleged that he has been in
the habit Of collecting from the insur-
ance companies, money for the pay
meat Of accident policies when the
policy holder in question had receiv-
ed no accident and knew nothing Of
the transaction. Five or six cases of
this nature are alleged to be in exis.
tance.
The fact of these alleged fraudulent
claims being sent through the mails
is the ground of prosecution.
The prisoner has a very checkered
career. In 1878 he was sentenced
from tile Washington county court to
a term of Is years in the state prison
at Windsor. He is a native OF Mont
pelier but for some time resident Of
Black Hills, Dakota
While the technical charge is de-
frauding the United States mails,it is
plain to be seen that the real charge
is defrauoing the General Accident
Assurance company of Scotland.
