ever be the mood of ones mind. be he scholar, merchant, mechanic or labor. CT. he will hear something to suit his own feeling. The characters represent ed have the effect of reality, and one iIvoluntarily takes the part for or against the people of the drama. That much abused despot, public opinion. has changed greatly in recent years. Biblical plays are receiving respectful and thoughtful attention from press and pulpit. No one of intelligence de- nies that ''our lives are open to mani- fold subtle influences, that make or mar us" and that there are moments ill the life of man when he is nearer the Great Soul of the world than is mans custom" The working out of the redemption of the soul of humanity is most entertainingly set forth. and the few simple sentences she utters at the end of the play give sublime com posture to her appearance in the clos ing scene. The cast has been selected with great care and will include some of Waterbury's most talented amateur
 talent. Miss AkerstrOm will appear in the leading r6ie, Humanity.

Writer Tells of Eliminating Deadly Wound Inflicted on Coolie

When l was stationed at Nowshera news was brought to me one morning that one of my coolies had been bit ten by snake and was dying, says a writer in the Madras Times. I hur. ried to his hut and found the man un. conscious and bleeding from his mouth and nose. A. few passes from the head downward stopped the bleeding. l con- tinued the passes and in ten minutes he was able to open his eyes, but un- able to speak or move his hands or limbs.
 l continued the passes and after the lapse of another five minutes he was able to speak feebly and indicate the seat of pain. Each pass gradually worked the position downward and the mans speech grew stronger by degrees. and in hals an hours time from the beginning of the operation the man was able 70 sit up. Having worked the poison down below the knees, I tied ligature below the knee and sent him to a hospital, where he eventually recovered. He was bitten in the right foot. should very much have liked to have carried the experiment out to the end and have bled him, but not being a medical man. and as there was hos pital only a few miles distant, had to submit to circumstances.

The mcasureless domains of science have been invaded by the enterpr;Slng purveyors of vaudeville entertainment and Manager Poli has secured to head the bill at the Jacques next week the most amazing marvel in the shape of scientific entertanme:t Europe nas produced in years. Joseph Yarrick $ Magic Kettle. Not even the storied ceiling walkers who many moons ago thrilled and attracted the attention of theater-goers hy their apparent demoli- ton of the laws of stable equilibrium has anything been recorded like the sensation created hy the Magic Kettle everywhere its wondrous powers have been displayed. The laws of heat and cold, the properties of water and fire, are juggled about and dis placed by Mir Yarrick with a freedom that is simply bewildering. The freez- ing of ice cream over a hot fire. the boiling of eggs in ice water. and me changing of fruits and flowers mIo solid ice are some of the minor feats performed ny the aid of the Magic Kettle. The greatest legerdem.,ln drtlStS Ol tne age. ferTHlIlln anu hci- lar. never created such Il mystifying novelty as Mr YarricK-s kettle. and the amaZement of the spectators crys- taIlzcs into sheer unbelief in the ac- curacy of their sight when the sci- enlist turns an immense block of ice into torch before the audience aud sets it afire. The most startling thin. about the feats and their presentation is the offer of the performer to pay sj,O0O to anyone who proves that chemicals are used in fine act.

The committee of finance has recOm- mended the appointment of James r. Brcc for state auditor, the vote of the committee, being unanimous this way. In the recent caucus of the democratic members of the legislature George w.

Fall River Cotton Mills May Form
 Combination.

Fall River, Mass, Feb 3.--The re- vival in the discussion relating to q merger of Fall River cotton mills, print works and bleacheres is a de- velopment of a lopg period of depres- sion in the trade. As yet no definite step has been taken by any corporal tion in the direction of a combine, and mill owners do no expect that any plan will be acted upon at present. Such a project has been advocated by some of the local treasurers in past years, but each time any settled plan has been considered the difficulties have been so great that attempts to bring about merger have been abandoned. Thus far there has been no Indication that the present informal discussion will result in anything tangible.
