This splendid comedy-drama was
rendered at the Opera House to "a
large audience Wednesday night,
by local talent.
This is the second time this play
was staged in Opelonsas, but we
feel sure that even a third rendi-
tion would be patronized. The
first was good, the second nearly
perfect; the third would doubt
less be absolutely perfect.
Opelousas has splendid histrion-
ic talent, and we don't see why To-
cal entertainments are not more
frequent. Certain it is that the
talent is far superior to the bum
travelling shows usually making
country towns.
The performance Wednesday
night was for the benefit OF Hope
Hook q Ladder Company No. |,
and the boys OF that company
heartily appreciate the efforts OF
the cast, as well as the liberal pat
ronage of the people.
Miss Bee Crawford won the prize
for selling the greatest number OF
tickets for the entertainment.
A very pleasant. feature (for the
fire boys) of the evening was the
presentation to the company by
DIR. J. A. Haas Of his check for tif-
ty dollars, in recognition of the
work of the boys at the fire at his
residence recently. How different
is the action OF DIR. Haas to that OF
some of our people, who, when a
fire is successfully fought, say that
..Other people put it out" DIR.
Haas action should put these fell
lows to shame-but true, an ass
can't blush.

RECORD BROKEN BY
AN AUTOMOBILE
indianapolis Man Drives 118 Miles
Without Having to Recharge
the Battery. .G<H

Special to The Globe.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 22.-The
much heralded feat of an Edison bat
terry driving an automobile for dis
tance of eighty-five miles without hav-
ing to be recharged has been beaten by
an Indianapolis machine, owned by Ar
thur c. Newby. Enthusiasts over the
new fad are claiming that the Eastern
ers have been beaten to death, and not
by specially built macine, either, for
Newby's auto has made a run of 118
miles, which breaks the record for an
auto carrying an ordinary forty-four-
cell battery.
The owner made a number of trips
to other cities, but not with view
of testing the machine, some of them
being as far as eighty miles. He de-
termined to test it's endurance and
overcame 118 miles before the battery
gave out. The machine and battery
were both made by Indianapolis man
ufacturers.

WHY ARE THE BODIES
OF THE FAIRS HELD +?
Shipment to the United States POST
poned for Unexplained Reasons
Autopsy Perhaps Desired.

PARIS, Aug. 22.-There is evidently
some mystery connected with the fact
that the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs Charles
Fair have not been shipped from Paris
for America. 1t was originally ar
ranged that the bodies should be with
drawn from the Church of the Made
leine at 5 o'clock this afternoon. At
that hour two undertakerS' vans were
waiting at the door of the vault to re-
>ceive the coffins, when orders came
sending them away until $3.50 o'clock
tonight. AT this hour the vans were
again on time, but the removal of the
it is believed their removal has been
postponed until an indefinite date.
Meanwhile lawyers representing the
families of Mr.. and Mrs. Fair have
been closeted at the American con-
sulate here all the evening with Con-
sui General John K. Gowdy, who, it is
understood, cabled Washington earlier
in the day for instructions. 1t is re-
ported that the lawyers representing
one party desire that a post mortem
examination be held before the bodies
leave France. Mr.. Gowdy has received
no reply to his cablegram addressed to
Washington.
Mr.. Ellis, manager of the Hoel Ritz,
where the Fairs had apartments at the
time of their death, has charge of the
shipping arrangements. He said the
shipping of the bodies had been post
poned because definite instructions for
forwarding them had not been received
from the family of Mr.. Fair. He pro-
feSsed to know of no other reason why
they should not be moved, and said
they would not be shipped until such
orders had been received.

ern train Aug. 9, between Vassar and
Bedford. The cause of death was
given as excessive cigarette smoking.
The body was brought to Winnipeg,
where post mortem examination was
held. The autopsy revealed nothing
that would cause sudden death, and
this, taken in conjunction with the
circumstances surrounding Mobiles life
during the last few months Of his eX-
istence, has aroused suspicious that
the authorities are trying to unravel.
Noble was an Englishman and a
| regular in the British army. He serv-
ed during the South African campaign
| and was on furlough when he came to
America to visit his mother. He ar
rived at Warroad on Christmas day
and lived with his mother and her
husband till the day he left to come to
the Winnipeg hospital.
Conductor Finds a Corpse.
When he landed at Warroad he was
apparently in good health, but soon
I afterwards he began to lose strength
and continued to fail until he became
perfectly helpless. Some time ago peo-
pie of Warroad raised sufficient money
ito send him to the hospital, but it was
not till a month afterWard that his
mother and Stepfather consented to let
him come. He was assisted to the
train by two men and placed on board.
The conductor spoke to him when
passing through the coach in which
he was travelling and returned in a
few seconds later to find only corpse.
Before he came and after he arrived
from England his mother told her
neighbors that he was the only heir
of a wealthy and misery, grandparent
and that the British government was
his debtor for large amount. The
theory of the officials who are in
vestigating the mystery is that if there
is any foul play in connection with
Mobiles death prospective money was
the motive.

startled when they learned that girls
and young women had been secured to
take their places, and declared their
determination to make love to the nom
unionists and thereby induce them to
stop work. Attempts to enter the
buildings, however, were frustrated,
and as the girls did not carry mes
sages outside, the boys failed in their
plans, being forced to look on from a
distance. Some of the girls carried the
messages in their hands, while others,
more timid, concealed them in their
sleeves.
President Lloyd, Of the telegraph
company, admitted that girls had been
employed to take the places Of the boys
and said they were doing the work in
satisfactory manner. He said the
company intended to continue them in
the service and that they were being
paid 81 a day.

HACKMAN BUNCOES
HEAD OF THE ARMY
Gen. Miles Loses a Quartette of DOL
lars in Massachusetts, by Means
of Ruse.

Special to The Globe.
FITCHBURG, Mass, Aug. 22.-Gen.
Miles anxiety not to disappoint the
people of this city, whom he supposed
to be waiting to welcome him, enabled
a Leominster hackman to bunco him
out Of 81 yesterday. The general was
in Leoninster, visiting his sister, Mrs.
Mary J. Merriam. The hackman hunt
ed him up and said the general was
wanted at once at the Johnsonia hotel
in this city and that he was to come
by hack.
Gen. Miles was somewhat mystified,
as he had planned to come to Fitch
burg some time later by trolley car;
but as he was aware that the people
of Fftchburg had prepared little re-
ception, he supposed the plans con-
templated an early arrival and he told
the haekman he would accompany him
at once. Gen. Miles returned to Mrs.
Merriam's home,-. where his trunks
he, accompanied by Mrs. Miles and
Mrs. Merriam, entered the hack and
drove to Fitchburg. The hackman
heightened the effect of his plan by
dressing himself in his best suit and a
silk hat and had his vehicle cleanly
washed for the trip.
Arriving at the Johnsonia, the gen.
eral was considerably surprised when
no one but a bell boy came down to
the door of the hack to hand the dis
tinguished visitor out. However, still
suppesing the plans of the local COM
mittee were not quite well settled, the
general paid the hackman his fare of
81 and entered the hotel office to make
inquiries. The clerk did not know
anything about a reception to Gen.
Miles and had not been Informed of his
intended arrival.
The general returned to the street
to inquire of the hackman for further
information about the orders he had
received, but that Individual had dis
appeared. Then it dawned on the head
of the army that he had been made the
victim Of bunco game.
