The practice of some boys in the
northern end of the city of s%toning
passing trains, should be broken up at
all hazards. The fact that a stone,
thus thrown, crashed through the
window of an engine cab where an
engineer was sitting, is sufficient
warning of what the result may be if
some effective action is not taken at
once.
The style of engines used by the
Central railroad on their fast trains is
such that a greater part of the time
the fireman does not know what is go
ing on IN the engineers side of the
cab. A stone or flying glass might
cause serious results to the engine
driver and the train would rush on,
perhaps to destruction, carrying its
load of passengers with it. The time
has passed when the boys al be
scared. Capture the culprits and send
them to the reform school. No ex-
cuses should allow them to escape.
To get them, however, the police
are apparently powerless. The boys
who do this trick are well acquainted
with everysfpoliceman in the city,
whether in citizens clothes or uni
form/ 1t is very doubtful if a strang-
q. Would be able to catch the offenders
0 they realize the seriousness of the
offeAse. The only way, evid| ltly' is
to keep a Waterman secreted in the
vicinity, for days at a time, if neces-
sary, until the arrests are made. This
would cost money, but it would not
be half so expensive as the loss OF
many lives in a wreck. The practice
ia a serious one and nothing should
be left undone to put an end to it.

TRe Theatres

"The Earl of Pawtucket" had its
250th presentation at the
Theatre Thursday evening, September
18th. The large business at that house
up to date indicates that it will re-
main there to celebrate at least one
hundred more performances. The
Thursday matinees of this play have
become exceedingly popular with
ladies and children and suburban resi-
dents. While the regular prices are
maintained at all other performances,
including Saturday matinees, the
Thursday afternoon presentation is
given at popular prices, and is the
only performance where there is any
deviation from the regular night
prices.
So widespread has become the repu-
tation of "The Earl of Pawtucket''
that its author, Mr.. Augustus Thomas,
ia now abroad for an early production
in Paris as well as in London. The
play is to be given identically as it is
now presented at the Princess with
the exception of in Paris 1t will be
played in the French language. 1t is
probable that the London production
of the play will be under the joint
direction of Mr.. Kirk LaShelle, its
present owner, and Mr.. Frank Cruzon,
the we'll known London manager.

Long before school opened the Board
of Education took action upon having
a pole removed from the yard of No.
1 school. 1t was used as a brace to
the side of a building IN the adjoin-
ing property and was considered a
danger for the hundreds of school
children who play there every day.
The pole is still there and, from all
appearances, whatever danger the
Board of Education saw at the time
they took action, still exists. Is that
all they are going to do about it?
