Stanislaus STANCE, the author of The
Wooing of Priscilla and who founded
his idyllic comedy drama on the theme
of "Myles Standish. has done the lat

the fruitful source of many pastoral
dramas. portraying life as it now eX-

SWeetly impressive in the treatment of
thir characters and realistic in their
effects such as real roast turkey and
snow storms. they remain popular be
cause they are speaking records and
lkenesses of present day customs and
peoples. THE Wooing of Priscilla
delves deeper and as true. 1t hanks
back to the very foundation of these
primitive virtues and deals with their
first transportation to this soil. And
Yet it contains within its kernel of in
formative story, as sweet love cpl
sodc as has ever graced stage or novel
page. No one can leave such a play
without finer tastes titiVated and
heightened: while a New Englander
seeing it but must feel his sectional
pride swell to the verge of chestiness.
Little did Longfcllow think that his
"Courtship Of Mylcs Standsh" would be
come popular in drama, as we'll as in
verse. while ever memorable must be his
pen picture of the bucolic maiden and her
summing wheel in the following lines:
piled at her knee. her left hand feeding
the raVenous spindle.
While with the right she sped and stayed
the wheel in its motion.
Around this rustic-lke nucleus StaniS

has passed since Longfellow's lines were
pcnned but still today's dramatic trans
formation is none the less bright and in
teresting while it conveys in manner
at once logical and consistent with stage
traditions the picture of the bashful war
rior and his Intellectual suit.
The incidental music composed by Ju

and consistent in its character with the

TEN PEOPLE ARE DEAD
Vaudeville Theatre at Hurley, Wis,

in Building.
Victims Were All Connected with the
Theatre and Had No Opportun-

Another Towns Fire Department As
sists in Saving the Town
From Destruction.

Ironwood. Mich, Nov. 7.-Ten lives
were lost and four buildings destroyed
by a fire which started in the Klondike
theater at Hurley, Wis. The dead are:
G. w. Cleveland, H. P. Clifford, Thorn

Emory, Timothy Ryan, F. L. Gay, St.
Louis, Thomas Ozanne, Harry Ray
mond, Clara Bonnie.
The seriously injured are: Jennie

BILLY" Mclaughlin.
The Klondike was a vaudeville
theater and all of the dead and in
jured were connected with the theater
as performers. Most of them lived at
Hurley, and Thomas Lie Claire was a
brother Of the proprietor.
The fire started on the stage and in
a few minutes the entire structure was
a mas of flames. The third story was
used as sleeping quarters and the fire
spread so rapidly as to cut off the es
cape of the occupants. '
The theater building was quickly
consumed and spread to adjoining
structures. The Ironwood fire depart.
ment was called to the assistance of
the Hurley firemen and only by the
hardest work was the town saved from
being wiped out.
The charred remains of six of the
victims have been recovered and
search is being made for the others.

before in July, 1887, when II women
lost their lives.

Food Receptacles.

All receptacles for food should, as
far as possible, be kept germ and in
sect free. Glass, pottery and metallic
wares are therefore preferable to
wood They should have no joints or
grooves, as these harbor minute par

them they should be thoroughly wash
ed, scalded with boiling water, wiped
dry and then be allowed to cool. Plac-
ing them in the SUI when practicable
