Curious Mis Understanding.

One of the strange traits of little
children is their utter misunderstand-
ing of many simple things, and the en-
durance of this misunderstanding with
them through years and years. Thus,
there is a lawyer of Philadelphia who
thought, until he was twenty OF TWEEN

a word as 'pard-narsens" in the lang

had said grace always at the table,
and the boy had heard, ineuriously.
three times a day, "pard-narsens" in
the grace, without compromising in
the least that pardon our sins" were
the words his father actually had
spoken.

very best society play of the last
decade, has been reserved by Miss
Rose Coghlan for her present tour, and
will be presented at the Opera House
soon. There are few other women on
the American stage today who can rank
with Rose Coghlan in such parts. Her
superb art and power to express human
emotions have enabled her to score a
tremendous triumph in every city she
has so far visited this season. The
Second Mrs. Tanqueray" received an
elaborate production at the Fifth
Avenue Theatre. New York, which has
been retained ir it's entirety for Rose
Coghlan's present tour. Her support

tions the house will be sold out long be-
fore the arrival of the company.
The remarkable financial and popu-
lar success of the play the previous
seasons is a familiar story. The COM
pany that is to be seen here is fitted

one of the most difficult and exacting
roles known to the stage. She is,
however. credited with it's brilliant
performance, and one of the greatest

"A Runaway Match" Tonight.

It's catchy title. isn't it? Makes
YOU think of moonlight night, with a
girl climbing out of a back window,
and down ladder into the arms of her
waiting lover. A hurried rush TO the

Yes. it's catchy name-it's a catchy
play too. light and sparkling-just like
a hottie Of newly opened champagne,
with bubbles of mirtt and wit, rising
in a cloud through the wine of the
comedy.
There are some good specialties in
trod,iced in the play, and you will like
them. They are all good.
The costuming is appropriate-in fact
the whole entertainment is extremely

any eruptive disease. thereby making
a contribution of infection to their as
sociates. Prompt work on the part of
the local board limited the mischief
which was apprehended. Sept 13, a
case was reported in Guilford which
DR.. Woodcock investigated, and, Oct

had been taken to prevent any mis-
chief which might result from this dis

A large part of the time of the meet
ing was again given to a consideration
of the danger of the importation of bu-
bonic plague from California into other
states. Appearing in San Francisco in
March, 1900 the disease has remained
quent intervals. Through the month
of August, larger number of cases
than usual has occurred and they have
been of unusual malignancy. This
matter will be considered by the state
and provincial boards at a conference
of their representatives which will be
helC in New Haven the latter part of
this month.
At the afternoon session of the meet
ing, a discussion of this matter was
continued. and action was taken upon
various minor matters.
