a delicate manner, and the audience yes

looking upon it as a sort of naughty
"Saph0" feature instead of a heart-touch-
ing scene. The play was staged in good
style, several of the settings being excel
lent.
Bernice Howard portrayed the leading
role-the part made famous in this country
by Blanche Walsh. 1t Can be said for this
in many ways the character of Katusha.
and her long speeches in the prison scene
were given with intelligence and under
standing. George ID. Mackey was an
agreeable surprise in the role of Prince
Dimitri. His portrayal of Ben Boone in

far more difficult character of the prince
was deserving of much praise. He looked
and acted the part splendidly and presented
handsome appearance in his well-fitting

Sporting Notes.

Florence ]. Haggerty of Spring
field, Mass, Is hailed in Haverhill as
the holder of the worlds record for
throwing baskets in a single game of
basketball, having secured II re-
Gently against a strong opponent.
Haggerty is well known in Brattle-
boro through his acquaintance and
visits with p. NJ. Ferriter.
At the annual meeting of the Har-
ward football team Friday evening
Daniel J. Hurley of Boston was
unanimously reelected captain. This
is the first time in many years that
a man has been chosen captain for 2
successive seasons. Hurley's election
was received with general satisfac-
ton by the student body, and the
Crimson expects to accomplish Won
ders under his leadership next sea-
son.
The Shelburne Falls. Mass, foot
ball team, against which Brattleboro
has played in past years. closed its
season Thanksgiving day. The sea-
son was disastrous from "a financial
standpoint. the attendance at most
of the contests being extremely
small The reason for this is said to
be the inability of the management
to secure opponents of suff1cient
strength to make things interesting
The team won six and lost two
games, being defeated twice by the
Crescents of Adams Mass.
Edward Sheldon, who pitched so
effectively for the Montpelier Barre
team of the Northern league and af-
terward for Amidon's Hinsdale, N.
H., aggregation the past season, will
enter the medical department of the
University of Vermont. 1t is need
less to say that Sheldon will be
valuable addition to the varsity
baseball squad next spring. and the
only question which is now causiog
worry is to find a catcher who can
hold him. 1t has been mentioned
that woodward. who was captain
and third baseman on the Hinsdale
team and who is one of the best
players in the university, is likely to
go in training for backstop. Wood
ward has the weight and staying
qualities and is an excellent throw
er as well. Jack Campbell, another
star twirler has also 'matriculated
at the medical department of U. V.
NJ, and with the good material for
the other positions it looks as II the
would have a formidable
team for the season Of 1905.

hall, was tried in the district court
at Northampton, Mass, Friday on a
charge of abducting Clara Grace Tay-

fcient for holding Skillings for the
grand jury and he was placed under
$4,000. Being unable to furnish bail
he was committed. Miss Taylor Is
now at her home.
The girl testified that her ac-
quaintance with Skillings began when
the company was playing In this
town. She was employed as waitress
in Mrs. Stafford's restaurant on FL
hot street where the company
boarded. Soon after the troupe left
Brattleboro the girl met Skillings by
in Northampton, and
they stayed there several days. Her
father traced her to Northampton and
caused Skillings's arrest. At the trial
Mr.. Taylor broke down when asked to
identify the man who had been
arrested. He burst into tears AMI ex-
claimed, Yes, that is the man If you
can call him a man."

The attorney general has rendered
a sweeping decision. at the presio
dents request, in the matter OF .ne
propriety, under the law restricting
the operations of lottery enterprises
through the mails, of guessing con-
tests of various kinds which have
been the features of many pupiea-
lions for several years. He decloes
that they are lotteries and shoulo
therefore be denied the use OF the
mails hereafter. The postmaster
general indicates that he shall not
ann1v the opinion of Mr.. Moody in
discriminatory, but consider eacn
case brought before the department
ON its individual merits. II IS nkey
too. that the opinion will not be MADE
in any sense retroactive, so far as
the post office department is con
cerned. but that it will be put in
operation in such way ana at sncn
time as may be least embarrassing

pants in the guessing contests.

A PICTORIAL DRAMA.
How Tweed Was Identified I'm Spain
by Mast Cartoon.

How Tweed Was Identified I'm Spain
by a Mast Cartoon.
No very strenuous effort had been
made to find Tweed, but 1t became
known at last that he was somewhere
in Spanish territory. AS early as Sept.
80 Mast cartooned the "boss" as d
tiger appearing from a cave marked
Spain" Now, suddenly, came anoth-
er report-a cable-that one 'Twid''
(Tweed) had been identified and cap
tured at Vigo, Spain, on the charge of
kidnapping two American children"
This seemed curious statement, for
whatever may have been the boss sins
he had not been given to child stealing.
Then came further news, and the mys-
terry was explained. Tweed had been
identified and arrested at Vigo through
the cartoon "Tweedle-dee and Tilden-
dum," drawn by Thomas Mast. The
"street gamins"-to the Spanish office.
who did not read English-were two
children being forcibly abducted by the
big man of the stripes and club. The
printing ON the dead wall they judged
to be the story of his crime. Perhaps
they could even spell out the word ''re-
ward" In an upper corner.
Absurd as 1t all was, the identified
tion was fawless. Tweed, ON board
the steamer Franklin, came back to
America TO die. When his baggage
was examined II was found that he
had preserved every cartoon Mast had
drawn of him, save the few final ones
published after his escape, one OF
which had placed him again behind
prison bars. On Oct Harper's re-
published this picture with the story Of
the boss capture. The pictorial drama
was complete.-Albert Bigelow Paine

the whole problem Of our complex,

to lead better lives. He sees that the
permanence of liberty and democracy
depends upon a majority of the people
being steadfast in that good, plain

comes only as the result of the slow
and painful labor of centuries and
