c. p. Murphy caught a brook trout,
Wednesday morning, that was dandy
1t is not intended to say that Mr. Muir
ply caught but one fish on his brief
trip up into the Bond brook region for
he brought home five of them, but this
trout in particular is mentioned be-
cause he tipped the scales at almost
l pound and 8 ounces, and was so long
that Mr.. Murphy had to double him
up to get him into the basket. The
other four trout were good ones, also
and would average three-quarters of a
pound each.

"Florodora,"

: This charming musical comedy. with
it's catchy songs. pretty girls in ror-
geous costumes, handsome men and
elaborate scenry, was presented to a
large audience at the Opera house last
evening. Much has been heard of
..Florodora" since it's production q few
seasons ago and those who witnessed
it, last night, were apparently pleased
with it; that is, II the generous an
plause bestowed was any Indication of
their appreciation of the piece.
1t has been the custom to associate
Abbreviated costumes and girls dressed
in tights with comic operas hut
"F'lorodora" is free, almost absolutely
free of such things. Only one lady an
peared in tights and that was Dolores
who was disguised as a wandering min
strcl at one stage of the play. The cos
tunes won by the ladies were simnlv
magnificent. Especially brilliant were
those seen in the grand ball room of
Abercoed castle in the last act. There
were silk, satin, lace, net, muslin and
every other sort of dresses, in cOlors
beautiful and striking, all of which
were made en- train and one cOuld not
help thinking that he was watching a
real fashionable ball and not a make
believe one. The male actors. too.
were dressed in accordance with the
rules of fashion, smart business suits.
neat sailor costumes and also in full
evening dress. The costumning of the
pieces in every particular was worthy
of all praise.
The pretty music of the piece is ia
miliar to nearly everyone, and the per-
fornlances of last evening has added to
it's reputation. OF course, one of the
features of the evening was the double
sextette song, Tell Me Pretty
Maiden" which was done by six young
women, handsomely gowned, and six
young men, Immediately attired in
frccE suits and silk hats. Although it
has been sung all over the country for
two years past, it was encored so
heartily that it was repeated several
times.
Miss Maude Lambert, a handsome
brunette. played Dolores and was
charmingly received. Her beautiful
voice was heard to excellent effect in
The Queen of the Philippine Islands -
1t was one of the vocal treats of the
evening.
Sydney Deane, who plays the part of
Frank Abercocd, in love with Dolores,
was unable to appear, and his place
was filed by his understudy, William
II. Smith. Mr.. Smith sang Meath the
Shade of the Palms" in admirable style
and was encOred again and again. His
voice is a rich, sweet tenor and of ex-
cellent character.
James Herman was the comedian,
and q right good one he was. He play
ed the part of Anthony TweedlepuncI,
a Snowman, phrenologist hypnotist and
palmst, and he kept the audience in a
roar whenever ne was on the stage.
Miss Isadore Rush as Lady Hollywood,
Miss Guelma Baker as Angela, and
Donald Brine as Cyrus w. Gilfain as
proprietor of the island and the per-
fume of 'F'lOrodora," We're especially
good in their respective parts.
In fact, the music, the singing, the
dancing and the acting We're all that
could be desired. "F'Iorodora" was a
success in Augusta.

Letter to e. G.. Harrington,
Au0Hst0. Maine.

Dear Sir: II. M. Hooker & Co.. Coop
erstown, n. r., have sold Devoe paint
for % years. D. T. McGown, of that
firm, built a house in 'S5 and painted
Devoe, of course. The paint lasted ten
years.
A year or two later, neighbor built
house, and painted it lead and oil.
The neighbours house was repainted
twice in the same time.
This looks as if the neighbours house
was painted three times in eight or
nine years, and McGown's once in ten
years. We are not quite sure-we tell
the tale as it comes to us.
1t is enough to say that Devoe lead
and zinc lasts twice as long as lead
and oil.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvOE e. co.

CONCEALED WEAPONS.


There are very few deliberate muir
Gers. The man who has an alterca-
tion may have murder in his heart for
Ave minutes, but when he has time TO
think nine times out of ten tne malice
disappears. But suppose ne has
pistol in his pocket? There will be
a killing and not only the principal
suffers, but his family and friends.
The News has always urged the
strict enforcement of the law against
the carrying of concealed weapons
and in our judgement If the proper of
ticers would do their duty the hip
pocket pistol will soon be a thing of
the past and homicides would conse-
quently decrease. In speaking of con
cealed weapons tne Augusta Chronicle
says
Birmingham judge has fined a
man convicted of carrying concealed
weapons 500. and gave notice that
the penalty for the second conviction
viii be six months on the public
works We believe that this is the
right way to deal with this besetting
sin 1t is crime against good oruer
that is too common II is almost a
daily occurrence for the police to get
weapons from prisoners whom they
arrest. In the majority of shooting af
trays the parties in the difficulty take
their weapons from their pockets at
the same time.
While it is known to be against the
law to carry concealed weapon, the
offense is not prosecuted in tnat vigor-
GUS way by the officers of the law
that 1t should be This is an offense
out of which more serious crimes are
constantly growing. Seventy-five pc
cent. of the shooting ARRAYS would be
averted if II were not for the ready
pistol in the hip pocket If all the
courts would prosecute this oftense In
the vigorous way that the Birming-
ham judge has announced there would
be rapid decrease in the number of
men who carry pistols.
