NIGHT,


In the night, in the night,
When thou Hest alone,
All, the sounds that are blown
In the freaks Of the breeze,
BY tbs spirit that sends
The voice of far friends
With the sight of the seas
In the night!
In the night, in the night,
When thou Hest alone,
All, the ghosts that make moan
From the days that are sped:
The old dreams, the old deeds,
The old wound that still bleeds-
And the face of the dead
In the night!
In the night, in the night,
When thou Hest alone,
With the grass and the s'one
Ger thy chamber SO deep,
All, the silence at last,
Life's dissononce past,
And the only pure sleep
In the night!

The all important subject discussed
was the decision of the supreme court
declaring the license law constitutional
except section 81 which was declared to
be class legislature and forbidden by the
constitution. About 200 amendments to
the license law have been or will be in
troduced and this subject will have the
call from now on in both houses.
The house passed the pure food and
drug bill. Many important bills were
introduced in both branches, among
them: extending the authority of the
railroad commission to telegraph and
telephone companies; increasing the sum
appropriated for Normal Schools, 81 900
per year.
The Senate having its desk cleared of
bills adjourned to Monday in the fore
noon but the House put in a full day.
The most important item of news
that developed around the State house
the past week was the unofficial an
nouncement of the candidacy of DR..
w. Seward Webb of Shelburne, for
governor in 1906, which was co-incident
with that of p. w. Clement OF Rutland.
This made much talk.

Theatrical Notes.

Lincoln j. Carter's play, Her Only Sin,"
which closes at the Park tonight, is said
to have reposed in pigeon hole of his desk
for three or four years after it was written
because he could find no one to take the
emotional part of an English mother who
was threatened with legal separation from
her child. He practically gave up the idea
or placing the play on the stage. While in
London, after he had apparently forgotten
the play he was at a theater one evening
TO see the revival of a classic production.
Toward the close of the first act q tall sen-
der girl, with heavy hair parted low upon
her brow and clad in a simple robe of white
samite. entered the scene. spoke a few lines
her which raised her above her companions
I'm secondary roles. AS she left the stage
Carter leaned toward a friend and said:
There's my Della Morley" He took the
play from the pigeon hole when he returned
to Chicago and with il placed a five years
contract with Julia Gray to impersonate the
English mother. The portrait of Miss Gray
at the head of this column shows her as she
appeared in the classic play in London She
