PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
Miss Ida Lsvsrssdss Sews Her Fingers While
Working on a Machine.

Miss Ida Leversedge of School-st
met with a peculiar accident Thursday
afternoon. She was at work on a
sewing machine. In some way the
fore finger on the left hand got under
the feed bar, and the needle coming
down went through the finger about
in the centre of the nail. 1t became
bent and coming up went through the
end and a portion of the nail OF the
middle finger so that both we're held
tightly together.
The young lady took the needle out
of the machine and although in great
pain accompanied by Ruth Aldrich
went to the Office of DR.. Bartlett, but
he was away. They found Drs II. S.
Goodall and Ross away but were sue
cessiul in finding DR. f, w. Goodall
at home, and he succeeded in remov-
ing the needle. About an hour passed
from the time the needle entered the
finger before it was removed.
The young lady endured it bravely
and no serious results are anticipated.

Enough Interest is Shown
Aeaur of Shakespeare's delightful
rustic comedy, GAS You Like 1t, with
Hortense Van lille as Rosalind and a
select company of Shakespearianplay-
ers has been arranged by Ernest Ship
man of New York. The tour is linn
tied to 30 special one night perfor-
mances and already since its first an
nouncement in the dramatic papers,
the demand for time has greatly ex-
ceeded the number to be given.
Gigantic revivals Of Shakespeare
have become "quite the thing" of late
in the larger cities and Mr. Shipman
who is usually first in the field with
the good things, has surrounded Miss
Van Zile with nearly all star cast, as
the names will show. The scenic en-
bellishments are said to be an exac
reproduction of the famous $40, 000pro-
duction which Julia Arthur used in
New York recently.
