the City building last evening in the
hopes of getting in to the show, realized
that the curfew law is being more strictly
enforced, as they were promptly sent home

Daughter" by R. P. Chase of this city are
progressing finely. This is to be purely
local and amateur production. The libretto
and music are both by Mr.. Chase and the

opera will be produced during Old Home
Week under the auspices of the Belfast
Improvement Society and it is safe to pre-
diet that it will be an immense success.
There was a chorus rehearsal Tuesday

SCHOONER. The troubles of the crew of
the Henrietta Francis are still the theme
of conversation wherever our old sea dogs
gather. and are also attracting attention
abroad. Last week Capt. Henry Staples
received a letter from E. L. Stickney of

U. S. government it is evident that he will
not be able to have the craft ready for this

that event the new schooner will probably
be christened Dogfsh. 1t is suggested that
she be shoal water craft for convenience
