I'M FROM MISSOURI.

Presented at the Hyperion Theater
 Last Evening.
 The first production of Clay Clement s comedy, I'm From Missouri" was given last evening at the Hyperion be- fore large and appreciative audience The cast was very good and for a first night the play went with remarkable smoothness. Miss Alma Kruger as Marjorie Polk made the hit of the even- ing and MT. StockweH as Maxwell Goodale was very pleasing. Miss Gris- wold as Mrs. Belinda Connor did ex- cellent work and MT. Haverly in the character of Tiffy Deacon, a race track tout deserves special mention. The spiritualistic tendencies of Mrs. Belinda Connor furnishes the plot of the play and some very amusing situations re- suit.
 The second act, in which policeman ir discharge of his duty is mistaken for a spirit was ridiculously funny and drew hearty applause.
 Mir Clement, the author of the piece, was present and quite number of @notables interested in the presentation of the new play The title of this play Il of Missouri but emanates from the well known expression, You've got to show me; I'm from Missouri This saying originated from the early pioneers in their camps in California as a great number of them were from Missouri They were for the most part very in nocent, confiding and good hearted and easiyl became the prey of the sure thing man and speculator. After being victimized for many years by these sharpers they finally became the hard est men in the entire camp to deceive having faith in nothing until it was fully explained and demonst rated On approaching them with a proposition they would say Pm from Missouri; You've got to show me- and it gradu ally became adopted as polite slang by all who desired demonstrations before they would believe. The play was well received throughout and will be pre- scented again this evening. All who en- joy taking light farce comedy will en- joy I'm from Missouri

ATy.iCK ON <. r. YRAsHhE.
Stamford Clergyman Accuses Him of Breaking Ills Word.

Secretary Thrasher of the Law and Order league delivered an address in Stratford in the Congregational church Sunday afternoon on the work of the league recently in Stratford, in the course of Which he said that Rev. '. S. Bullock of Stratford was one Of the prime movers in securing the first visit of Law and Order league officers to Stratsord
 Sunday evening Rev. MT. Bullock 1 from his pulpit referred to the state ment made by MT. Thrasher and said: T feel called upon to make d state- ment relative to the report which came
 to me From the meeting held this af- 1 ternoOn I learn from those who were present at that meeting that in spite of
 a solemn obligation to the contrary l MT. Thrasher felt called upon to say
 that with George A. Porter. I was the
 instigator of the movement which re- suited in the first arrest of MT. Futile and MT. Greeley This is absolutely
 and unqualfiedly not so, as MT. Porter had nothing whatever to do with it, nor
 did he know anything about it until all of the plans had been perfected. I and a gentleman whose name 1 do not now 1 feel privileged to divulge, although | have no doubt he would willingly stand his part of the responsibility, went to NIT. Thrasher's office, and asked him to get proofs of gambling in Tuttle's drug store He said he would get the proof for $50; he did. and we paid him $62.
 subsequently, he made a demand for | $l00 additional which l refused to pay, and he then threatened to make public all of the correspondence in the matter 1 if did not comply with his demand. I
 wrote that l would not comply and 1 that if he thought it to the best inter- ests of the Law and Order league to publish the matter, to do so: I did not
 care nor was l to be frightened into | paying the additional amount If the
 word of man and a Christian. as he 1 professes to be, counts for anything, if
 an obligation solemnly made in the 1 presence Of witnesses means anything, | then MT. Thrasher is a perjurer and
 has violated his oath. I have all along
 refrained from entering into the pres
 ent controversy, have refused to ex- press an opinion, and wanted to keep
 out of it. but I have been pulled in by
 the ears. I have now no apologies to
 offer. If I am to be censured, or prais- l ed it matters little now after two 1 years. l have thought the present
 policy against MT. Futile wrong, 1 be- lieve now I was wrong. We have
 turned him in a hell fife of words but
 have never attempted to see him, or
 talk with him. If I had my part ot do
 over again, I would not. do as I have done. Whatever the result will con
 tinue to preach the word of God, to re-
 farin hereafter, as I have always done,
 from bringing matters tof this kind or politics except perhaps were morals
 are concerned and indirect allusion may 1 be permissible, into the pulpit It was
 my purpose to say nothing about the
 present case. have said all I intend
 to- and if any of you have questions to ask, you must ask them of others,'

past methods. It is that the day of petty economies has passed. Most mid dle-aged men are familiar with the old Third Reader story of the archery con- test. where the final test came between the careless boy, who was rather a bet ter marksman than the careful one. The careless boy had made final score that was going to be hard to beat As the careful boy stepped to the line and pulled the arrow to it's head his bow string snapped According to the rules, no one could give him another, and the careless boy was jubilant until the care- full boy, reaching down into his pocket, brought out a piece of whipcord, which he had saved from a package a few days before and with which he finally won the contest.
 This was the old story. There is a newer one, characteristic of the present. In this one a man advertises for an of flee boy His choice finally rests be- tween two bright youngsters, and as the supreme test he asks that they open some packages lying on a table. This is easy for Charlie. Charlie takes up a package unties four hard knots. un- winds the string rolls it up around his fingers, ties it into a loop and lays the string in safe place. Then, unwrap- ping the package, he folds the paper up neatly and lays it on a shelf. But by that time Willie with his pocket knife, has slashed the strings on seven pack ages, ripped the paper off and piled the whole mass of rubbish in the waste basket. Forty years ago, of course, Charlie would have got the iob; now. however, Willie is business manager for the house.
 Things have changed. Small econo- mics hold tot day az well as they ever did but they are not the old-fashoned economies that once were worshipped as virtues. They must be scientific | economies. The days of saving wrap ping twine are gone; the time for see ing that not a pennyweight more iron than is necessary should go out in sla g is here. "-President E. J. Burlington. of the Illinois Steel company, in the Chi cago Tribune.
