Fair Maid Of Perth.
In the north part of the city of Perth,

was formerly inhabited by old Simon
Glover and his daughter Catherine. Sir
Walter Scott made the latter his hero.

building is an interesting relic of old

has under consideration a proposal
to purchase it from its pre- sent owner

ALL READY FOR The
KINDERGARTEN PLAY.
Dress Rehearsal Held Saturday
Night Was Great
Success.

The dressIrehearsaI of the kinder
garten play, "A Serious Family"
Saturday night, raised the hopes Of
those in charge, even higher than
they were before. for making the
production tonight the most success
ful amateur theatrical performance
ever presented by local talent, in q
local ball for the benefit Of local
institution. The play, a three act
comedy, will bs given in the enlarged
and remodeled Braga Hall, on Divi-
sion street, where new scenery, a
good.sized stage, and every facility
for the comfort of the audience
should tend TO bear out the expecta-
tions for o complete success, from both
a histrionic and financial point of
view.
Nearly all of the members of the
cast have bowed before local foot
lights before, and their abilities are
known. Those amateur actors and
actresses who tonight make their de-
but are well up with the others and
every sign is entirely favorable.
Reserved seat tickets will remain
on sale at Sexton's pharmacy until
o'clock tonight.

SPECIAL TRAIN
FOR ONE WOMAN
Came Over lhe Pennsylvania
Railroad Last Night and
Stopped Here.

At 7:45 O'Clock last night o special
train, consisting of an engine and one
passenger coach, pulled into the Penn
sylvania depot, in State street, with
one woman passenger. The local
agents of the P. r. X. and Central
railroad are in the dark about it, they
not being on duty at the time.
1t seems that the woman went to
the Office of the train master of the
P. r. r. at Jersey City and asked for
a special train to this city. She was
on her way to Branchport. Freight
engine N /, an ola timer, was the
only engine ready. A single car was
coupled on and the start made. When
the lady arrived here she went at
once to the Central depot where she
boarded regular Central train for
Branchport.
The night agent at the Central de-
pot, Joseph Donohue, was told by the
woman that she had lost her ticket In
the special car. The ticket read from
Jersey City to Branohport, and the
agent was asked to look out for it.

TO ANNOUNCE
TRUMPET VOTE.
are Hustling for TOmor-
row Might the Contest Will
Close.

Tomorrow night will conclude the
voting in the popular fire company
contest at st. Mary's fair now being
held in Wilder Hall and the fremen
are redoubling their efforts to win the
handsome trumpet which is offered
as a prize to the victor.
The voting will be concluded at
10:30 o'clock and the committee asks
that all books be brought in not later
than that time. Tbe ballot box will
then be opened ana the votes counted
and then it will be made known to
which company the trumpet is
awarded. At first the committee
thought of announcing the vote each
evening, but this plan was abando ned
at the request of the firomen, who
Thought that one announcement at the
conclusion of the balloting would be
a better idea.
This leaves all in the dark as to the
outcome and IL is very hard matter
to pick O winner. All the companies
are working Lard and some of them
are reported to have been presented
with some large donations. Il is safe
to say that a big crowd will be pres
ent at the fair tomorrow night to
learn the result of the voting and
congratulate the victorious company.
Some tall hustling will likcly be wit
messed on the part of the contestants
before the ballot box is closed.

Of Spending the
Night.

Richmond, s l., was found by Henry

Little Graft win Be Made Down the Bay
Outside the Lighthouse. ..Enuine Appears
to be Heavy and Required Many Men to

At 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
six horses, attached to heavy truck,
hauled to this city, from Elizabeth, a
quadruple engine for use in the test
boat now Deing built at the local ship
yard of Louis Nixon.
These engines are entirely different
from any engine ever constructed be-
fore. They will be run by gas instead
of steam. The one which arrived
here yesterday was we'll built, but it
looked to be very heavy. 1t took q
dozen employees at the Nixon yard
over nm hour to unload it from the
truck.
This engine, it is understood, will
be hoisted into the test boat by a
steam derrick and will be placed in
position before the boat leaves the
ways. 1t is understood that the test
of the boat will not be made in the
local harbcr as was heretofore ex-
pected, but will probably be made

This morning some minor parts of
the engine were brought to this city
They were SO heavy thar 1t took four
horses to haul them.
This morning the New York Herald
contained another picture Of the tor
psdo boats as thcy now appear at the
local shipyard and contained a long
dispatch from Washington which in
part is as follows:
Not only do the plans of the Tsar
cali for "a new navy of proportions that
will place Russia among the first
three naval powers Of the world, but
in these plans the United States have
q more vital interest than has been
realized even by those who will be
most directly concerned. Besides the
greater part of the work being under
American supervision much of it will
be done in American shipyards.
"This information come from pri-
vate sources in 81. Petersburg of a
character which is guarantee of its
authenticity and credibility. In fact,
the next two years will SEQ not only
the great Russian shipyards at Sebast-
opol and Cronstadt rushed to their full
capacity under direction of Mr.. Lewis
Nixon, of New York, but q vast
amount of work will be given to
American shipbuilders, which will
have great influence on American
shlpbuilding interests.
$50 carefully have the details Of
these plans for bnilding Russia's new
navy been keptSsecret here that only
those acting directly for the Tsar,
except Mr.. Nixon, of course, know
of them except in general way. 1t
is not even realized by high officials
in the Russian government, aside
from the four or five men who pre-
pared the plans, how far the work has
already progressed. Even before Mr..
Nixon returned to America, last
summer, he had started large num-
Der of vessels, and when he goes
abroad in February he will doubtless
find some of the smaller of them we'll
on toward the final stages Of compile
| tion.
