Every man" Tomorrow Nieht.

For unavoidable reasons. Miss Church's
reading of "Everyman," announced IA
week ago, had to be placed one day
later than the date given. She will
therefore appear in the town hall to-
morrow, Saturday evening, Oct. 81.
Miss Church comes with endorsements
that make certain for all who attend an
evening of exceptional pleasure as well
as profit, and we are to be congratulated
on having brought to us in so satisfac-
tory way play that has aroused such
widespread interest in the larger cities
of the country during the past year.
The story of "Everyman' is briefly told
in the bills distributed throughout the
village, but the action of the play ex-
plains itself and enforces its own power
full lessons. The general admission has
been placed at twenty five cents in the
hope that a large number will be present:
as was stated a week ago, it was only
through the kindness of Professor
Pearson that the association was able to
secure Miss Church at all, and his un-
qualified approval of her work should
establish beyond question its high
quality. Reserved seats (35 cents are on
sale at Stern's.

Lou Dillon Lowers Record.

Lou Dillon, the most marvellous trot-
ter in the world, Oct. "a, at Memphis,
Tenn. wrested from the stallion Cres-
ceus, 1893, the crown of the trotting
world by going mile in 1854.
The beautiful mare who first aston
ished the trotting horse world by trot-
ting a mile in 900 had her title threat
ened when Major Delmar trotted over
the New York track in 900, and last
Monday her reign ended when Cresceus,
in the backwoods of Kansas, trotted a
mile in 500. Saturday she won back
her proud place, and Cornelius K. G..
Billings, her owner, said she would trot
no more until the summer of next year.
believe will stand until Lou Dillon her.
self reduces it. No wind shield aided
the chestnut mare in her conquering
fight against the watch.
A horse hitched to a sulky, with a
small canvass dust shield low down,
was the pace maker in front. while
another ran to sulky by her side.
1t was the same pacing that Dan Patch
had.
Lou Dillon did not have everything in
her favor, for while the track was never
better, stiff wind was blowing down
the back stretch
1t was nearly sundown when Driver
Sanders, with Lou Dillon hitched to
white sulky, came out to trot the Won
derful mile The crowd that remained
gave the trotting queen a rousing cheer.
Budd Doble. of Dexter, Nancy Hanks
and Goldsmith Maid fame; John Dick
enson, the noted trainer and driver, and
Frederick Hartwell, of Chicago, were in
the timers stand.
Up the track the queen logged, and
suddenly Sanders turned her and started
on her record-breaking journey. Starter
Newton shouted Co and in the
twinkling of an eye she was gone.
Around the first turn she flew and 80
seconds the watches read-a 200 clip
and too slow. But as she faced the
wind she battled galantly, and as the
half was reached in 59i seconds the
hopes of many fell, for the last half is
always the hardest
Sanders white cap was seen in the
dusk, fitting like phantom, and when
the three-quarters was passed shout
went up, for Lou Dillon was trotting
faster than ever, and was beating all
records in the last half. Cheer after
cheer went up, and as she passed the
wire great demonstration occurred.
Horsemen all caught the mile in .5S4
or 1881, and they did not wait for the
judges to announce the official time.
Driver Sanders was lifted from the
sullly, while Vanderbilt, Fish and other
notabes overwhelmed Billings with
congratulations. Il still own the fastest
trotter in all the world was the proud
comment of Billings.
Lou Dillon reduced Cresceus record
by one and a quarter seconds and her
own record by one and a half seconds.
That she can trot even faster is what
horsemen say, and next year mile in
1.57 is predicted for her. She will be
shipped to Billings New York stable and
wintered there. Sanders will train her
again next year. Cresceus will trot no
more this year. but Major Delmar will
try to beat 200.

commence until about 4 80 and then in
a cold drizzling rain, which, however,
soon stopped. The game commenced by
kick off to Vergennes. Vergennes ad-
vanced the ball, then lost it on a tumble,
owing to the mud, Middlebury then
proceeded to lose it on a tumble and
Roberts of Vergennes picked it up and
made touchdown: with a clear field
and kicked goal, Vergennes then kicked
off to Middlebury, Fisher caught the ball
and advanced it to the 40 yard line here
the two teams fought in the mud,
Vergennes securing the ball twice on
account of fumbles. During this fight
Fisher sought to advance the ball twice
by punting. About this time Middlebury
changedA.er mode of passing the ball.
and afterwards made no more fumbles.
For several downs Middlebury went
through the Vergennes center and
tackles, then they lost the ball, but held
Nergennes for downs, and again struck
the guards. working steadily toward the
Vergennes goal, Beane at length making
a touchdown through a cross buck play
but failing to kick goal: Middlebury then
made an excellent kick off to Vergennes:
they stopping the ball on the - yard
line Middebury held them for downs
aud gained the ball just as the half
closed. Time 20 minutes, score Ver-
gennes 6. Middleburv 5. As it was
growing dark and both teams were
comparatively fresh the intermis5ion was
cut down considerably, The second half
was fifteen minutes long and was much
like the last part of the first. Middle
bury's team work was far superior to
Vergennes. During the last half Beane
made three more touchdowns and one
goal making the final score 81 to 6 in
Middlebury's favor. The line up of the
teams was the same as at Nergennes
except that Middlebrooks played right

cross bucks, and Hadley's handling of
the muddy ball were features, and every

VANDERBILT-RUTHBRPURD
Time and Place of the Wedding stilI a -+ Secret

Paris, April 23.-There continues to be much mystery concerning the plans for the Vanderbilt -Rutherfurd wedding. All the parties who are in a position to speak authoritative1y decline to disclose the plans and close friends of the par- ties have not yet been informed as to the time or place for the ceremony. One of the intimate friends of Mir. Wander bilt and Mrs. Rutherfurd said it was generally believed the parties intended to make the ceremony as private and quiet as possible. It was said that the report that the marriage would occur Saturday next in London did not come from an authorized source, though MT. Vanderbilt's trip to London was con- sidered by his friends as indicating preparations for the ceremony taking place there. Word reached here to-day that MT. Vanderbilt was returning to Paris from London, but at his residence later in the day, it was stated positively that he had not returned and that he was not expected to return for several days.
 The Duchess of Marlborough has been here for several days, coming from Vienna, presumably to attend the wedding. She drove in the Bois this afternoon and, it is thought, called at Mrs. Rutherfurd's residence. All inquiries at Mrs. Rutherfurd's house relative to her plans meet with evas- i've responses MT. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Rutherfurd are indignant at the persistent inquiries made regarding their engagements. A photographer stood outside Mrs. Rutherfurd's resi- dence most of :he day, trying to get a snap shot of her for American papers,
 An eminent legal authority who is familiar with the Vanderbilt affairs says that if the marriage occurs in France it is indispensable that the ceremony take place in the eighth or sixteenth arrondissoment of Paris, or at Carrieres- Sous Poissy, where the parties have residence. Visits made to-day to the Mairies of these three places show that no aDpplica ton for a marriage has been posted
 Coxe's Manual of French laws says ten days notice, publicly posted at a Marie, is an essential preliminary of marriage. Before this publication is permitted one of the contracting par ties must supply certificate show ing six months residence and must also furnish detailed information re- garding his or her civil status. ,'a-

Illinois Legislature in 0 General Fist
 FiSht.-Rribe,y Charges.
 Springfield, H., April 2S. slugging and rolling over each other, across the speakers platform in a frenzied general fist fight at the feet of a. score of female guests, the members of the Illinois leg islature surpassed the widest scenes of the Austrian reichrath. Charges by the speaker of the house, Isaac Miller, that attempts had been made to bribe him, were formally made tonight as an explanation of the extraordinary &C., tions on his part, which precipitated the riot. The interior of the legislative chamber tonight resembles, in a meas ure, the track of tornado, so general was the wreckage of chairs and desks.
 Chicago street railway franchises, more valuable than gold mines, were directly at stake, federal court receiver ship proceedings against the Union Traction company e Chicago, yester- day having brought the matter to sud- cen issue. The federal receivership was held by many to indicate an intention by the street railway company to fight out claim to ninety-nine year fran chises instead of negotiating with the Chicago city councel for renewal of franchises on twenty-year basis with a municipal ownership option on the part of the city.
 The stormiest time ever experienced in the Illinois legislature began almost without warning, in whirlwind of wild disorder, which arose to-day in the house of representatives of rival trac- ton measures, or so-called municipal ownership bills. '

 Indeed, I have not as yet had time to carefully read MT. Parry's latest ut- terances. It seems to me, however, that, if he is correctly quoted, he up- holds the right of. the. manufacturers or producers to organize for their own protection, while denying similar privilege to the workingmen."
