The Moments Club.

Helen Churchill Candee discusses
in the Century the characteristics OF
the presidents of womens clubs, and
comments upon the field filled by these
organizations in the West:
IF any one should doubt the desire
of the small remote town to make it
self intellectually worthy. let him
read the program prepared for the
winter work of a club which occupied
a prominent social position on the
prairies of the middle West Here
are some of the topics for papers, all
to be prepared without the advan-
tages of a library, either public or
private, and with no educational ad-
vantages beyond a local newspaper:

WORKSHOP AT JAIL.
Commissioners Will Lease Prisoners to
John +. Horne of Portland.

The commissioners for kenneDec
county held a special session al the
Court house. yesterday, to consider the
matter of leasing the prisoners in the
county Jail at this city. Chairman
SewalI Pettingill of Wayne, and Josiah
w. Bassett of Winsow, were present.
The proposition to lease the prisoners
came from John F. Horne of Portland.
Mr.. Horne has a contract with Andres
coggin. Cumberland and York counties
and works the prisoners at the Auburn,
Portland and Alfred Jail at leather cut
ting.
The contract with Mr.. Horne has not
as vet been signed, although it's terms
have been agreed upon and it is being
drawn up. By its stipulations the
county can meet with no loss what
ever, as no changes are required at
the Jail for the work. The flooring, ex
tending from the corridor across to
the walls on the north side, which was
put in when the county conducted a
workshop here some 20 years ago has
. never been removed and will be again
utilized. In addition to the article pro-
viding that the county is to lose moth

,
into the county treasury the sum OF
5000. The lease is not to extend ovel
one year and If agreeable to both par
ties for an indefinite period. 1t vii

Since the proposition came from Mr.
Horne the commissioners have visited
several places where the system o

looked into the matter thoroughly

The county abandoned the idea o
working its prisoners about 90 year

discussed at various times, but this i

ADJUSTMENTS.
"Ingomar."


Last evening, Mr.. Ryan appeared
before a crowded house in the famous
role of Ingomar, the barbarian, and
well indeed he filled the difficult part.
The play is rather an ambitious one
for a repertoire company to undertake
but il suffered not at all in its treat
ment, last evening. From lngomar
himself down to the least of the
Grecian citizens of Marsellia or of the
marauding mountaineers every role
was faithfully filled and no detail
lacking that would add to the realism
and intensity the interest in the story
The Grecian costumes of the Messed
lians and picturesque skin garments
of the Alemanni were true in every
particular
The play tells simple story with
no combinations or plot, and its sue
cess depends almost wholly upon the
work of Ingomar and Parthenia. In
the latter role Miss Magill as the gen
tie and beautiful Greek captive who
teaches the rude barbarian chief the
meaning of love and leads him to
civilization and the triumphs Of peace.
left little to be desired and completely
won the audience from the start. Their
many scenes together were worthy the
best traditions and We're given re-
peated applause.
Mr.. Warehouse as Myron and Miss
Palmer as his wife supplied well the
small element of comedy in the play.
Mr.. Brown as the stalwart and true
hearted Lykon. and Mr.. Campbell in
the difficult role of the grasping and
crafty merchant were both good. The
specialties of the evening were excel
lent as usual "The Three Musketeers
will be the attraction, this evening.

Simplicity Johnson, the orphan chlid
in Clyde Fitch's rural play, Lovers
Lane" which will have it's first appear
ance in this city on Thursday, March
10, at the Opera House. This is one
of the best, if not the best. child's
part ever written. Turned out of the
orphan asylum, she is given home
in the minister's house, greatly to the
dissatisfaction of the congregation,
who, only for the minister. would send
her to Jail. A large cast of 30 ar
lists and a complete scenic production
will be presented here as it was for
five months in New York and three
months in Chicago. The tour is un-
der the direction of VIM. A. Brady.

Then Rev. Norman Mckinnon
preached an inspiring sermon on the

He discussed three things: 1. De-
liberation; 2. Instantaneous decision;
3. Influence of resolution. The
preacher showed that elaboration with
decision was a great curse to life, that
decision without action brings untold
injury to life. Then followed an
earnest argument that those who had
deliberated, and decided it wise to be
Christians should act accordingly.
