RtHOBO7H GIVES PROMISE

The beach at Rehoboth has long
been known as one of the finest on the
Atlantic coast The name Rehoboth
signifies room. The water line
stretches as far as the eye can follow
and the feathered waves break and re-
cede day and night to the delight of
all from the heated city who catch
their cooling breath. The beach is
more healthful because the surface
sands have a substratum of clay, run
ming back miles which makes it possi-
BILE to drive wells all along the coast at
depth of 1S or 20 feet. Because of
these Rehoboth is furnished with
water as clear as a crystal and as pure
as that of the mountains. The beach
is backed by forest which increases
its health giving properties, also fur
nishing beautiful walks and pleasing
variety, as we'll as contrasting fringe
of green with the white sands which
skirt the coast Some day people who
go to the mountains of the north or
the pines of the south for lung trouble
will discover that Rehoboth has the
finest combination that can be found
for toning up the appetite and healing
the lungs. This is not theorizing nor
an effort to advertise the place, but
there have been practical illustrations
recently to prove these statements.
The many summer visitors who have
been accustomed to the dim Pickering
of the oil lamps along the boardwalk
and avenues of old Rehoboth will
doubtless be glad to know that this
mode of lighting is thing of the past,
that wheE they come down this
summer the boardwalk and avenues
will be brilliant with the new acetyline
light This new system of lighting is
a long step in advance of anything
Rehoboth has had heretofore. and not
only will the town use the new light,
but it will be installed in many private
residences. The young couples who
have in the past occasionally turned
down the oil lamps along the board
walk so as to make their presence less
conspicuous, will now have to move
further down the beach, and out of the
shadows of the avenue lights, for in
some ways the acetyline light is not
quite so convenient as the old fashioned
oil lamps.
Charles S. Horn has made great i'm
provements this season. Two stores
have been erected adjoining and along
the boardwalk, and these made quite a
change in the appearance of this part
of the town. A theatre on the second
floor is to offer light vaudeville, an6
other amusements are contemplated
for the entertainment of summer visi.

be lighted with the new acetyline light

Mt. Vernon Notes.

WI L01boA- aIC SidA ~
see Mississippi, and especially
Lowndes county, coming to the
front on educational lines and ap
preciate the fact that this year
our free school term has been ex-
tended from six to seven months,
to which our patrons have very
kindly added another month.
Therefore, since our school began
in October. this week finds US in
the eighth and last month of this
term. AS we, with the eye of
imagination look back over the
past seven months, we realize that
while many opportunities have, no
doubt, gone by unimproved, sew
en- months excellent work has
been done in both the music and
literary departments, notwith-
standing the average attendance
during the first two months, Oc-
tober and November, was not
good on account of the boys hav-
ing to stay at home to gather the
abundant cotton crop. Yet, the
general average is far above that
of any year during the history of
the school. Not a day has been
missed during this session. The
total enrolment is 10.
AS the patrons thought it un-
necessary to employ an assistant
teacher for this month, Miss
Ophelia Egger, our very able as
sistant, has returned to her home
in Caledonia. We were very glad
to have Miss Egger with us dur
ing the past term of school, and
her sojourn in our community
shall long be remembered with
pleasure.
The patrons of the school
went into conference last Friday
afternoon and unanimously re-
elected Prof. J. T.Spann and Miss
Ophelia Egger, respectively, as
our principal and first assistant
for next term. We will have an
eight months school next year as
this year, and shall again expect
such a record as will adorn the
history of the school.
Our school felt complimented
last Friday afternoon to find that
our chapel, with about a three
hundred seating capacity, could
not Accommodate the people who
had assembled to hear some
songs, recitations, dialogues, etc.,
which we had prepared to enter
tain them. Everything went off
pleasantly and all seemed to en-
joy the entertainment. With the
other changes of the school, sew
eral of our boarding pupils have
returned to their homes in differ
ent localities.
The Mt. Vernon Literary Soci-
ETY. gave an entertainment at the
home of Mr.. j. w. Cooper last
Friday evening in honor of the
departing secretary, Miss Ophelia
Egger. A large crowd of young
people from this and other COM
munities, including Columbus,
was present. Refreshments were
served, which with the charming
music, and different amusements,
rendered the event quite a happy
one. The number of people pres
ent showed the esteem in which
Miss Egger is held, especially by
the young people who will not on
ly miss her as our secretary and
as a great factor in our social cir
cles, but in every other worthy
respect. Miss Ophelia, we wish
you much pleasure during your
vacation. A PUPIL.

Special Dispatch to Tie call.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING
WASHINGTON, June 1O.-Presiden,
Roosevelt has been asked by the Receiv.
ers' and Shippers Association of Cincin-
natl in an informal petition to proceed
against all of the principal railroads ci
the South for a violation of the Sherman
antitrust law. The President referred
the officers of the association to Attor-
ney General Moody and conference
was held in his office to-day.
There appeared as complainants H. Lee
Early. president OF the Cincinnati Cham
Der Of Commerce; Robert H. West, presi-
dent of the Receivers and Shippers AS
sociation: NJ B. Farrin. a prominent lum-
Der dealer of Ohio, and e. e. Williamson
commissioner of the association. These
men made formal complaint and asked
that the following railways be enjoined
from carrying out an agreement made
between themselves because 1t is In vio-
lation of the antitrust law: The South
ern Railway the Atlantic Coast Line, the
St Louis and San Francisco. the New
Orleans and Northeastern. the Norfolk
and Western, the Illinois Central, the
Seaboard Air Line and the Central Rail-
road of Georgia.
Attorney General Moody told the COM
plainants that the Department of JUS
tice would at once set on foot an inves-
tigation, and If necessary employ special
counsel, as In the case of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe. Further than
this, he said, he could not go at this time,
and whether or not the Government
could ask for an injunction depended al
together on the result of the investiga-
ton.
The move made against the railways
controlling the Southern territory is
prompted by what the association called
discriminatory rates in favor of Eastern
competitors and seriously damaging to
the Western and Northern States. In
the petition, which was drawn up by two
of the most prominent lawyers of Ohio.
the Northern Securities decision is made
the basis for the request for an injunc-
ton.
The Receivers and Shippers Associa-
ton alleges that the railroads named are
in a combination to give preferential
rates to the Eastern States, and that the
conspiracy to discriminate against the
West and North was made at meeting
of the officers of the companies named in
New York City. They allege that while
the combination does not result in the
total suppression of trade. its operation
does tend to restrain interstate commerce
and TO create monopoly.

COMEDIAN GIVES
LONDON ASTART
Special Dispatch 10 The Call.

LONDON, June l0--If II were announced
in the United States that De Wolf Hop
per was organizing a Passion Play
some little surprise probably would be
felt. Seymour Hicks. former Gaiety
comedian and author of various roilick-
Ing musical comedies, is not more closely
associated with higher things than is
Hopper at home, so the intelligence that
Hicks is going to give London an Eng
lish counterpart of the Oberamnergau
spectacle has proved just bit startling.
In this enterprise Hicks will be backed
by his present manager, Charles Froh-
man, who is described as deeply inter-
ested" in the project. The actor isn't
planning to give his Passion Play" until
next Easter, and as yet the essential con-
sent Of the censor hasn't been obtained,
but otherwise the plans are complete. 1t
is intended to represent the life OF Christ
In a series of twenty-four tableaus. They
will be accompanied by music, but not a
word will be spoken from the stage.
Moreover, the names of the actors are
not to be revealed lest former association
should prove embarrassing. The scene of
the crucihxion will not be reproduced,
lie cycle of tableaus following the trag-
edy only to the betrayal. Hicks, who is
at present appearing as a sporty Duke
in THE Catch of the Season. declares
that the whole thing will be done most
reverently, and adds the information that
1t will cost between $4,000 and $4,000 to
put on. The plan Is to produce this Pas
sion Play at the New Aldwych Theater,
which Frohman Is building near the
Strand But one has doubts. The censor
is squeamish person and few things are
less likely than that he will consent to a
drama on the most sacred OF all themes
by the composer of "a Quaint Old Bird. :"
SHAKsPEAI4EAN REVIVAL.

had the special interest which attached
to seeing the younger Irving as the Prince
of Denmark, but the run has been far
from lengthy and the piece will give way
soon to a new romantic play by James
Bernard Fagan. The other revivals have
been even less fortunate. Trees Hamlet

.'Othello'' about the only distinctive fea-
ture was q really capable performance of
Roderigo by Henry Ainley, who acted
with Maude Adams a while ago, and the
enterprise was snort-lved. Finally, de-
spite Lewis Walters personal popularity
and the appearance of Evelyn Millard as
the heroine, Romeo and Juliet has
ccme to a speedy end at the Imperial. SO
the tale of misfortune is complete.
YOUNG ACTRESS WINS FAME
1t is owing perhaps to these circum-
stances that Sir Henry Irving limited his
revival of The Merchant of Venice at
Drury Lane 10 eight performances How
ever, this production proves notable not
only for the unwaning vigor and dignity
with which the old knight plays Shylock.
but also for the success of Edith Wynne
Mathison, his new leading lady, in the
part of Portia. 1t was her first appear
arce In this role in London, and, OF
course, comparisons with the Ellen Terry
of old days were inevitable. But the
young actress stood the. test well, and
the fame she so suddenly gained as

rather than roguish, rollicking Portia.
1t would be unfair to expect of her the
personal magnetism of her famous pre-
decessor in the part, but there can be no
further question of Miss Mathison's fu-
ture place in the higher levels of drama.
IL anything, Sir Henry Irving's Shylock
is even a more impressive figure than 1t
was twenty years ago.
Following the example set at the Adel-
phi, Lewis Waller is to resume opera
tions with a new piece by James Ber-
nard Pagan, who seems to be coming to
the front This younk playwright. who
