BOYS Well Trained.

The Plainfeld, \. j., Courier-Ncws
of April > contained column article
from which the following clipping is
made: No amateur play produced by
youths early in their teens has been
more enjoyed or elected more hearty
appreciation for the excellence of the
presentation, than the one produced
at the Casino last night by five stu
dents of Leafs school. Considered
from every point of view, originality
prOmptnesS at the crises. and smooth
ness, it was a good one and cOmpli-
ments for all who took part are not
misplaced for none of the players had
ever taken a part before in public and
it was a real amateur play. 1t will
doubtless be a surprise to most who
saw it to know this, for many with far
more experience do not do nearly so
well. The play was presented for the
benefit of the Leafs School Athletic
association to replenish the treasury.
Along with it was prize speaking by
five of the pupils, which formed the
first half of the program and won
many plaudts for their conception of
the subjects they handled. The
characters were drilled by Professor
Smith, who, together with the play
ers. received great bouquets of roses
on being called before the curtains in
appreciation of the pleasing success.
Prof. Smith referred TO is +. Burr
Smith formerly of Brattleboro, a
graduate of the High school here and
of Amherst college

Prisoner Fredette escaped !,

Chief-of-Police Hall and Policeman
Thayer arrested John Fredette at Gil.
mans stables on Elliot street Friday
for intoNiCation. Fredette resisted,
but was overpowered by the officers
without an exchange of blows. The
officers proposed to secure Fredette
in handouts, but Fredette signified
his Willingness to go peacefully to the
lookup so it was decided not to put
him in irons. Just then an employe.
not knowing what was going on in
side, drove up to the barn entrance
and opened the barn door, Fredette
bounded out through the doorway and
in an instant was out of sight around
the corner of building The officers
did not give chase, knowing that they
could take him whenever he could be
found and hoping that Fredette's
knowledge of his liability to arrest
would keep him out Of the state They
have not seen Fredette since the cpl.

Company Is Election Contested.

y hearing was held in the Estey
Guard rooms Monday night before
Adjutant General w. H. Gilmore Of
Fairlee on the appeal of several mem
bers of Company | who claim that the
recent election of w. T. Haigh as
captain of the company was illegal
Some % members of the company
were present. The meeting for the
election of captain of the company
was held Friday evening. April 5. Col
j. Gray Estey presiding. The cleo
ton was made necessary by the decis-
ion of Gov. Stickney that the act of
the last legislature making the COM
missions of militia officers expire in
three years meant three years from
the date of the commission. not three
years from the passage of the act
Under that decision Capt. Haigh's
commission had expired. At the
meeting April five ballots were
taken. The first four showed 21
votes each for Capt. Haigh and First
Lieutenant Z. J, Waterman. On the
fifth ballot Capt. Haigh had % votes
and Lieut.. Waterman had 20. Capt.
Haigh was declared reelected At
the hearing Monday night it was
claimed that Capt. Haigh voted with
the others and that his vote was cast
for himself. This claim was not dis
puted. The question was then raised
as to whether Capt. Haigh was mem
Der of the company and had a right
to vote at ALL his commission having
expired Supporters of Capt. Haigh
claimed that he was still a member
OF the company His opponents ar
gued that he was not and that had
his vote been thrown out the election
would have gone to Lieut.. Waterman.
Gen. Gilmore took the matter under
consideration.

Alden Bass in "A Poor Relation"

a striking character study was pre-
scented by Alden Bass as Noah Vale
in "A Poor Relation" at the Audito-
rum Saturday evening. The play in
trOduced the deserted children, the
young lovers, the wealthy father, the
heavy villain, the wronged wife, the
freshman with a brogue and so on,
but the figure of the impecuniOus in
ventor with the big, warm heart pre-
dominate, and the character, so diff
ferent from the ones usually portrayed
in star parts, was extremely inter
esting, and the emotional tempera-
ment shifted to all degrees from the
pathetic to the humorous at the
different stages of the performance.
Many will remember the mannerisms
of Noah Vale long after the trend of
the story has faded from memory.
The audience was enthusiastically
responsive, and when the strongest
dramatic point was reached at the end
of the second act. and Noah Vale
threw aside his own hopes and pros
poets to speak and act a lie to place
himself in a position of contempt in
order to aid the girl who had shown
him a kindness, the audience would
not be satisfied until Mr.. Bass had
appeared before the curtain to express
his appreciation of the reception, and
his qualification in appearing profess
ionally in his native state, and partic-
ularly in Brattleboro where he made
his first efforts on the stage as an
amateur. All in all the performance
was one of the most satisfactory of
the season, and proved that an actor
differs from a prophet, in that the
former is with honor in his own
country.
