urday evening. It is play of small
town life in New England, with young

ers as the central theme. 1t comes with
an enormous record Of popular hits in
the big cities, and is wholesome, merry
play, bubbling over with laughter and
alive with little children. There will be
beauties of scenery and electrical effects,
and two pictures of an apple orchard
with real trees, one showing autumn and
the other spring time, THAT have created
a stir

Saint Patrick's Day Banquet.

Pythian Hall presented gala appear
ance last Wednesday evening when over
800 people sat down to banquet under
the auspices Of St. Aloysius church. The
celebration was in honor of ST. Patrick,
the patron saint of the Irish people, who
on every recurring 18th of March do him
honor by keeping afresh his sacred
memory.
The evenings entertainment COM
menced with the children's chorus, which
showed some well trained voices and
considering the ages of the children this
number was gem. The song, "Come
Back to Erin" by Paul Lynch and
chorus was also very much enjoyed.
Rev. T. ]. Leonard, pastor of st.
Aloysius church, then gave very
scholarly address, his subject being
ireland, the Isle of Scholars" 1t was
Fir. Leonard's first public appearance
before a St. Johnsbury audience and
judging from the remarks after the
address he made very favorable i'm
preston. He spoke for about 20 minutes
and reviewed the qualities Of several of
Ireland's foremost sons both In states
manship, music and letters, giving en-
phasis to the name of Daniel O'Connell,
who, he claimed was the greatest states
man of his time. Father Leonard spoke
entirely without notes and his pleasant
manner and eloquence entirely captivated
the audience.
After the address Rev. J. A. Lynch, for
merlv pastor of st. Aloysius, but now
stationed at Waterbury, made a short
prayer, which preceded the banquet. A
novelty was introduced this year, when
12 young men attired in white coats
waited on the tables and they proved
great success as everything went off
most satisfactorily. D. P. Healey acted
as toastmaster in a very happy way.
The balance of the musical program
was then completed, and carried out as
printed last week. Miss Katherine Dugan
had charge of the program and was
ably assisted by Misses Lillian Ryan,
Maude Caldbeck and Mamie Roach.
The decorations were very pretty. At
one end of the hall were entwined the
American and Irish flags and from the
chandeliers all over the room shamrock
streamers were festooned. The tables
were prettily decorated with flowers.
About $3.50 was realized from the
entertainment and it was voted a grand
success socially and financially. M

The Earthquake.

The severest earthquake for 20 years
visited nearly all parts of New England
early Monday morning at 1:O4. There
were two distinct shocks, the second of
three intonations and great many peo-
pie were awakened by the quaking. In
one instance small clock fell from the
mantel, at another place in this village
the door bell rang, and in several places
crockery on the shelves ratified.
The seismic vibrations began at St.
Johns, N. B., and traversed through all
New England. Scientists are agreed
that earthquakes in northern countries
are caused by sudden changes in temper
ature, during which the earth's surface
adjusts itself to new conditions. In
proof Of this theory they point to the
fact that it was much cooler after the
disturbance.

Mukden. Nivember 2l.-The antici-
pated general attack by h Japanese
has not developed as yet. The uncer-
tainty of the present situation gives
rise to conflicting JUNIORS and
speculation regarding future op-
erations. Some expect the Japanese
to attempt a wide thanking movement
on Tie Pass, and others claim the
armies will practically winter in their
present positions. Complete inactivity
prevails. The nights are growing
colder and fuel is scarcer. Crowds of
Chinese are wandering over the fields
and roads, picking UP everything COM
bustible. even h roots Of Chinese
corn.

General Attack on Fort Arthur HAS
Not Been Resumed.

Che Foo, November 81, 3 p. m.-
A Japanese official among the latest
arrivals from Dalny, states positively
that the general attack upon Port
Arthur has not been resumed. Ru-
mors to that effect in Dalny have
arisen because of the troops, includ-
ing the seventh division recently land
ed, are being sent to the front.
1t is believed that the explosion
took place on November 16 occurred
in some counter-tunneling work. The
second explosion which was heard on
November 10, was much heavier, and
it is reported upon the best authority
was due to the blowing up of a Rus
sian magazine.
1t is expected that the next attack
upon Port Arthur will be a tremen-
douS affair. More reinforcements are
coming to the support of General Nogi
than those dispatched to Field Mar
shall Oyama.
The Japanese are now concentrating
coast defense forts at Pigeon Bay.
which is accepted as an indication
that they expect to be defending Port
Arthur themselves some day.

Samuel Gompers n John Mitchell

The reply of President Gompers was

and declared that as long as he was
connected with the labor movement he
would fight against the mixing or poll

NOT FOR BEST FARM.

II saw so much in h papers about

mid Pile Cure, 1 determined to give it
a trial. I bought from my druggist one
fifty cent box and used it as directed,
and by the time I had used the last
pyramid" I was entirely cured: In
four days after I began to use the ''py-
ramids' all Inflammation was gone. 1
was perfectly easy all the time, the ex-
cessive discharge stopped at once, and
stools became easy and gentle.
Il was unable to get my own frewood
for four months. and half the time
when / could walk at all / had to walk
half bent. I used many pile remedies,
salves and ointments, all to no effect
until 1 used one fifty cent box of Py-
ramid Pile cure and was cured.
Il would not be afflicted as I was four
months ago for the best farm in the
state OF Arkansas. i can give proof
and reference of the wonderful cure to
all who are afflicted as 1 was. Please
