Joseph Arthur's big scenic melodrama
Lost River ran for six months in New
York and was kindly treated by the critics
well as by the public. 1t was Mr.. Ar
thur, who put a fire engine in working or
der on the stage in 1.-THE Still Alarm, -
added a bull calf to his Blue Jeans and
gave buzz saw a place in the same play.
The excitement caused by these effects and
the episodes leading to their employment
rendered a strong Sedative necessary to
people afflicted with nerves" The scene
of his latest play is rural Indiana. A
quartet of shepherds. drove of sheep. three
race horses. a country orchestra, bicycle
race for life. a thrilling storm effect and
objects of still life from a camera to a
tollgate can be seen in Lost River at

The Principal has made the follow
ing regulations concerning school at
tendance in bad weather. On stormy
days but one session. ending at p. m.
will be held in the first three grades
comprising the Primary Department,
except in the case Of exceptionally
stormy days theother grades will have
the usual sessions.
The public schools are, in a very
large sense, the most important enter
prise many community. They ought
therefore to receive the most careful at
tention from all concerned. Patrons,
as well as the commissioners, should
visit the school. Parents can do much
to help their children by providing a
suitable place and time for them to
study without molestation, and the
children should apply themselves dill
gently to master every subject they
come to. If the lesson is only half
learned it is forgot and must be learn
ed again. This going forward and
slipping back keeps them trotting over
the same piece of ground year after
year. Teachers should assign only
such amounts as can be learned thor
oughly and then stick to it until it is
done. 1t may be that many pupils
have too many studies. This no doubt
is often the case and is the cause of
imperfect lessons. The remedy then
is to reduce the number. We think it
advisable to study a few we'll, and then
later in the term, let some Of these be
dropped and others take their place.

Riotous conduct on East Front street,
near the National Hotel back yard,
has become a nuisance that residents
are protesting against vigorously.
Those who are so offending are white
women of loose character, men of bad
morals and The lower class of negroes,
and this condition of affairs has reached
such point, that property occupied
by good citizens along that street, will
not sell for more than fifty per cent of
its actual value. With conditions like
the above prevailing, it is time for the
authorities to act-and act vigorously.
With this purpose in view, last Fri
day warrants were issued for gang
of the coIored rioters, who interfered
with an officer making an arrest the
night previous, and Andrew Van,
David Van Name Van, Noah Allen,
Roy Hudson, Fred Fountain, Edward
Mitchell and James Thomas were all
given hearing Friday before Squire
Truitt and were each fined S1S.S5. -Four
paid their fires, and the others are now
in Dover jail
The Town Authorities will next pro
coed against the women and men o
bad character, and by severely fininl
them, they expect to break up wha
has long been a nuisance in Milford
Crap shooting will be another sub
ject for the authorities to tackle.

THE Society Of Cruelty to Animals
has commenced a crusade against Of
Tenders in this line in Milford. A num-
Der of men from the country have a
habit of coming to Milford and leaving
their animals stand on the streets with
out food or water for ten and twelve

ment, and the Society last Saturday
morning imposed a fine and costs upon
Martin Knight, of Houston, for per
hitting his team to stand part of Fri
day afternoon and until after midnight
on the streets. The work of the Soci-
ETY. will be encouraged.

Of Mrs. j Lynn Pratt, was a success,

ing and were present, spent a very pleas
ant time listening to a song by Mrs. S.
J. Abbott who charmed them with her
sweet voice. Miss Margaret Gill and
Miss Rachel Frame recited some little
selections very well, and Miss Helen
McKtm's reading was received with APP
plause and wishes for her TO read again
The refreshments, so daintily served by
the ladies, were not the least attractiv
feature of the evening. The silver Of
ferings were generous aud amounted to
