DARLING
SAVED 1T
Several Hundred Thousand Dol
lars Worth Of Powder Saved.
HAD BEEN CONDEMNED
Acting Secretary Of the Navy had il Re.sxam.
ined and Il Was Found To Be
All Right

Acting Secretary of the Navy 'Darl-
ing saved several hundred thousaI !
dollars worth OF government powGcr
from being destroyed recently. a
story as told by the New York Herald
is as follows:
1000 worth of srfokeless annual
ton was thrown overheard from ihr
battleship Olympia of the Gulf coast
OF Honduras last March, because it
was supposed to be defective
All the ships of the North Atlantic
aeet, including the Olympia, were
freshly supplied with ammunition be-
fore the last winter manoeuvres. At
that time a rumor became current in
the Navy Department that more than
S5OO,OOO worth of defective ammuni-
tion had been taken aboard the fleet.
1t was officially denied.
While cruising in the Caribbean,
the officers of the Olympia suspected
that portion OF the magazines was
defective. The Board applied pre-
scribed tests, which, it was believed, f,
showed that the ammunition was de-
fective. Therefore it was thrown in
to the sea. The report at the Navy
Department caused a stir. The Of
fcials realized that II the ammunition
on the Olympia was defective, there
was probably several thousand dol
lars worth OF bad ammunition in the
North Atlantic leet.
Acting secretary Darling directed
Lieut. w. o. Chance and Mr. Patterson
powder chemists at the Indian Head
proving station, to go TO Pensacola to
to meet the Olympia and subject to
thorough tests such small quantities
Of ammunition remaining as they
could find. They did so and found
that the powder was not defective.
AS a result OF the incident, the hea,
test of powder on shipboard win be
discontinued and only litmus paper
test will be made aaoat. The heat
test is so delicate that it cannot al.
ways be successfully conducted by a
person other than a chemist.

SHAKESPEARIAN DRAMA.
Miss Elsie LssIs's Production Of 'Ths Tanning
Of the Shrew."

OF the Shrew.'
The production of sbakespeare's
comedy "The Tanning of the shrew, .
at the Opera House Monday evening,
vas remarkable in several respects.
Miss Elsie Leslie has greater amount
Of the artistic sense and temperament
than any actress yet seen here.
She fills the mind of her audience
with the greatest realization Of the
character she is impersonating, she
proves that pound OF Shakespeare is
worth a ton Of the later-day drama,
the method Of her ant never becomes
so apparent that its intrusion dispels
the illusion, and nature has endowed
her with beauty OF voice, figure and
feature which far eEceeds that Of any
artist who has before appeared on the
local stage Miss Leslie Is still a very
young woman and tie study, which il
is apparent that she bas devoted to her
art, assures for her highly successful
career.
Jefferson Winter, whose father is one
OF che greatest ShskespeaFiau critics
Of his own or any other time, will, in
the judgment Of the writer, accom-.
plish great things within the next Is
years of his life. His Petruchio"
was finished, sci olarly and intelligent

LINCOLN AS IN LIFE.
Benjamin chapius wonderfuI and Dramatic
PRESERVATION.

The above heading appeared in the
Boston Herald after Mr. Chapin's Sec
ond portrayal OF Lincoln in Chicken
ing hall. The article went on to show
how the spectators felt that they had
actually se96 and heard the martyr
president,
Mr. Chapin's makeup as he comes
upon the stage is startling in its re-
semblance to the Lincoln we have seen
in picture The actor's facial resem-
blance and stature contribute to his
histrionic ability and command of
voice. The audience sees the great
American as he looked, as he talked,
as he laughed over his stories, as he
suffered, as he made history. The
Herald says:
"AIr Chaplin, by his manipulation OF
ones fancy, transforms the platform
into the White House, the cabinet
room and the war Office, and peoples
the stage with many we'll known indi-
viduals. Now the President sits with

MISS ADAH E. BARBER.
An Apprsciativs Sketch Of Woman Of Great
Ability.


Ability.
The Brattleboro Phoenix prints the
following obituary of Miss Adah E.
Barber, the much esteemed sister OF
Hon 0. M. Barber of this village;
''The friends of Miss Adah f. Bar
Der we're saddened to hear of her sud
den death from heart disease on Tues
day, May 5, in Cincinnati, Ohio. She
was in the employ of John G. Hudson,
attorney, and, though not i'll, she was,
at the time of her death, taking brief
rest from her Office work. Her body
was taken to Vermont by her brother,
Hon o. NJ. Barber Of Bennington, and
funeral services we're held the follow
ing Sunday in the Methodist church in
Wardsboro, Revs Campbell of that
place and Royal of Townshend offic-
iating.
Miss Barber was born in 1859, and
her girlhood was spent in Wardsboro,
until she left home to take a course Of
study in Leland & Gray Seminary.
She ranked we'll as a scholar, and was
graduated in the class of 1882. Fol-
lowing her graduation she entered up
on career of several years as teach
er, and nowhere was she more success
full, better appreciated, or more useful
than in the public schools of Towns
hend, and adjoining towns. Energetic,
forceful, practical always, the school
room afforded just the place for the
exhibition of that remarkable original
ity and splendid executive ability
which she possessed.
Failing health warned her to seek
different employment, and after an in
terval of preparation she spent several
years as stenographer In the office OF
ex-Gov Page at Hyde Park. Again
seeking less arduous work she opened
a drug store in Townshend, only to
abandon the business by suffering loss
by fire. A few months later she re-
sumed her former occupation. For a
year or more she was in the Benning-
ton Banner Office and closed long
period of efficient work in Vermont in
the Office of her brother.
"Hers was a unique personality.
She was nothing if not intense. What
ever of truth she grasped must be
lived in speech and actions. Friends
always enjoyed her letters, so terse,
quaint and original; so kind, cheerful
and helpful in spirit Chary of affec-
tion, she was yet loving and well be-
loved, and it was inevitable that kind
words of appreciation of her character
should reach US from the distant city
home.
"From the beginning OF her student
life until the day of her death her in.
terests and sympathies were with the
church of God. A member of the
Baptist church of Townshend, that
church and Sunday school, with those
in other places where she was located
will testify to her devotion and to the
value of her services. During the lat
ter part of her life it was her ambition
to be Christian worker in more
special way, and she studied for q
time in Nyack, N. Y, in preparation
for such work. Leaving Nyack she
went to Cincinnati and there hel
earthly history closes. Mr. Royal re
ferred to her as one who endured as
seeing Him who is invisible. Couple
this thought with the one that she lived
to minister and not to be ministereC
unto, and the handspring of all hei
activities is revealed.
