THE c w.PARKS STOCK CO.
Opens Weeks Engagement AT The
Colonial Theatre With
Slaves of Russia

The initial performance of the G.
W. Parks Stock Company was given
here last night at the Colonial Theatre
before a packed house. There was
nothing topheayy about last nights
audience, as the lower floor was filled
TO its utmost capacity as well as the
balcony and gallery. 1t goes without
saying that repertoire company is
what Annapolis wants, Judging from
the warm reception that greeted
Slaves of Russia when the curtain
rose last night.
Besides it was an audience that en-
joyed itself hugely at its own sweet
will. Ii cheered vociferously when
there were telling lines and virtue had
its own reward. and it Missed the
villain ON his every appearance. 1t
laughed loud and long at Larry
O'Rourke, . and whether the imperso-
nator, Mr.. Park, overdid the thing and
introduced too much horse play, it
didn't matter with the majority of
the audience, who clapped enthusiast
ticalIy. The play "Slaves of Russia
has a number of thrilling situations.
Ii has to do with q Russian Prince
who betrays a serf's wife. After her
death the children are mixed, the real
son OF the Prince being reared as a
slave and the son of the slave, as a
prince.
The old man, the sanctity of whose
home has been violated, keeps the
secret long and well and only reveals
the identity of the real prince at the
climax of the play, when death and
destruction threaten everybody. The
supposed slave, by the way, is in love
with a countess, and after the reyela-
ton of his identity, all ends happily.
The stock company is one sof the best
ever seen here. 1t is well worth the
price of admission. The stage set
ting is good, the actors are above the
average. Mr.. Fowler in the title role
did very good work. Mr.. Miller as
Mr.. Gray of the cast is capable in his
role, and Miss Bowling as Selma is
we'll adapted to her part. Miss Blair
gave a ereditable impersonation of her
part and altogether the cast is unusual
ly strong for stock company.
Specialties are introduced between
the acts. Some of them are very
clever. Moving pictures and illustra-
ted songs are also shown and there is
not a moment of the entire evening
without entertainment either by the
play or specialties. A feature of the
orchestra is a lady violinist, something
unusual here. Tonight's bill will be
1.-The Convict's Daughter, tomorrow
night "Moth and The Flame, others
will be East Lynne, 'Esmerelda, J"
Lost Paradise, etc. The company
is worthy of liberal patronage.

Hill Favors Parker.

Albany. N. Y, April 5.-From a
source so close to former Senator Hill
that 1t may be understood as repre-
senting Mr.. Hills own views. it is
learned that 1t is intended that the
New York delegation to the Democratic
national convention at st. Louis shall
be positively Instructed in favor of
Judge Alton B. Parker as New York. s
choice for the presidential nomination.
Senator Hill and his friends now be-
lieve that they will control at least
three-fourths of the state convention
which will be held here April 18th.
1t has been during recent years an
almost unbroken custom for the New
York state Democratic delegation to go
to the national convention with positive
instructions. Only in 1884 were there
no instructions. In that year Grover
Cleveland and Roswell p. Flower. both
New York statesmen. were candidates.
The New York delegates voted for
Cleveland.

THE OLDEST coLoRAoAN.
One Hundred and Four Years Old
Easter Sunday.

Denver. April 5.-In good health and
cheerful spirits was the condition in
which 100 members of the Grutli Ver-
Elm found DR.. Johann Jacob Eisenhut
when they called at st. Anthony's hos
pital last Sunday to help him celebrate
his 10th birthday. Dr.. Eisenhut is a
member of the society and each year
his brothers go to the hospital and give
celebration in his honor.
For the last six years the society has
been caring for the venerable old man.
and on each birthday during this time
the members have paid visit. TO all
of them yesterday he gave a hearty
handshake and jokingly remarked that
he would greet them in the same man
ner this date in 1905.
Dr. Eisenhut was born in Switzerland
in 1900. Despite his advanced age he
still possesses much vigor. and from his
appearance and actions, one not famil-
lar with his history. would hardly take
him to be so old.
Mr.. Eisenhut talks entertainingly of
his own life and always feels happy
when he has an opportunity to tell
stories of his boyhood days. His early
life was spent in Switzerland and he re-
counts with much pride the time, when
about eight years of age. Napoleon at

DOCKING HORSES
AnrlDockINc Law SUSTAINED.
Colorado Supreme Court Declares the
Law Constitutional and Denounees
Docking as Cruel and senseless. i.


Denver, April 5.-In uphold;ng the
constltutionality of the Colorado law
relating to the docking OF horses, the
Supreme Court yesterday declared
sound the first law of this kind ever
passed in this country The law pro-
yides not only against the docking of
horses tails but also against the use OF
docked animal that was not register
ed in compliance with the requirements
of the law after it was passed. 1t was
through the instigation Of the Hu-
name Society that the legislation on
this point was secured, and the test
case which has just been decided was
prosecuted by Secretary e. X. White
head.
The test case was instituted by
Ernest Bland. former coachman of
John w. Springer. Bland was charged
with having in his possession and
using an unregistered docked horse.
and the case was decided against him
in the lower court. He appealed to
the Supreme Court. claiming that that
part Of the law which prohibited the
use of unregistered docked horses was
unconstitutional in that it was con-
trary to that part of the constitution
which allows to all persons certain
natural, essential and inalienable
rights" among which might be reck-
oned the acquiring of property.
The opinion was written by Judge
Steele and he interpreted the law in
no uncertain terms. He says:
with full knowledge OF the law the
owner Of tho horse docked him and
sold him to Bland. and Bland, with full
knowledge of the law. bought docked
l.. hoo
taken without due process of law.
The law has not destroyed their prop
erty: they have destroyed their own
property. Bland sold the horse, and
within two weeks bought him back; in
the interim the horses tail was
docked. There was po necessity for
docking the horses tail, and the par
ties concluded to defy the law, and
they must take the consequences. We
regard the law as just, wise and hu-
name, and withal legal exercise of
power confided to the Legislature be-
cause it conserves the public morals,
and because it Furnishes the cruel and
senseless treatment by man OF his
best and most constant friend.
"The docking of horses's tail is
cruelty. not only because of the tor
ture inflicted by the operation. but be-
'auSt Dy utHilNiHB tne uOist VI tHe
use of his tail he is deprived of the
use of weapon supplied him by ma
ture for his protection from the my
riads of winged pests that infest the
land We are of the opinion that in
the forbidding of the use Of a docked
horse the Legislature has not ex-
ceeded its authority; that the inter
diction is valuable and reasonable
exercise of the police power of the
state, and that the constitution has
not been violated"

trip, and special steamers and trains
will conduct the party from Seattle tc
Skagway, over the world-famous White

the rest of the land OF the midnight
sun.
The idea OF visiting Siberia on the
Fourth of July and distributing tina:
virgin atmosphere with the din OF
American firecrackers and chorus Of
"E Pluribus Unum" is the happy
thought of one OF the members, who
believed some opportunity should be
given the statesmen and other officials
of the government who contemplate the
trip. to display their proverbial patriot
ism.
Through the courtesy OF Count Cas-
sini and the good Offices of the Russian
embassy at Washington. the party has
been given assurances that each mem

Maple Sugar Prospects.

In few days farmers in this part of
Vermont will be making preparations
for the maple sugar season and those
who should know state that the deep
snow and great depth Of frost in the
ground are favorable for good season.
at is more like an old time season
with the ground frozen solid to depth
of three feet or more; and three to five
feet Of snow in the woods, conditions
which have rarely ever failed to produce
great sap flow and an excellent quality
of sugar." one sugar maker said re-
Gently.
The farmers look for an early spring
as a natural consequence following such
continuous cold weather. and this is
always favorable to large sugar pro-
duct. Last year the season was over
before many of the sugar makers had
fairly begun operations, it being the
poorest sugar year III Vermont in many
years. The crop was hardly sufficient
to supply home consumption, and the
export trade, which means thousands of
dollars to the Vermont dealers, was
entirely cut off. This has been SO more
or less for several years SO that "A good
season would be more than welcomed.
The wise sugar makers are getting
everything in readiness to tap and take
advantage of the first run of sap which
is always the best We look for a good
run of sap before March 10th.
