ACTOR STOPS THEATRE SCARE
WONAN'S RUSH FOR FRESH AIR
UNSETTLES BIG AUDIENCE.
w. Il. Mack OF the Manhattan Company
Tells Them There's No Danger After
Another Woman started to Faint
Mrs Fiskc Helps 10 Quiet Folks.

Mrs. Fiske. Charles Cartwright and W.
B. Mack were in the middle Of the fourth
act Of Leah Kleschna' at the Manhattan
Theatre yesterday afternoon when a woman
sitting in a front seat in the middle of the
orchestra jumped up and made a rush for
the rear. The theatre was oCTwded and
all the woman wanted was fresh air
Half dozen seats behind her was another
woman with a woman companion. She
got excited when she saw the first woman
run out and displayed symptoms OF faint
ing. To add TO the confusion her companion
lost her nerve and tried to get her out,
Take me out of here, cried the fainting
woman SO loudly that most Of the audience
heard her. oh, get me out OF here.
Many who were occupying orchestra
seats then got up and started to go out
Those in the gallery and balcony who saw
the commotion added TO the con-
fusion by standing up AT no time. how
ever, was there any sembance of panic.
Mr. Mack was the first person on the stage
to take any action. He stopped MS lines,
walked 10 the footli ghts and said,
There is nothing the matter; there is
nothing wrong. Please sit down.
Then Mrs Fiske joined him. She re-
peated Mr.. Mack's words and the curtain
was rung down. The lights we're turned
up and the exits thrown open. There was
no need for the precauton, for the big
audience soon settled down. Mr.. Mack
went before the curtain and explained
that the whole affair had been needless.
When he laughed the audience laughed,
too.
When the excitement first started four
young women who weps In box adjoining
the stage steppe over the footlights. They
darted behind the scenes and through the
first door they saw open. 1t was John
Mason's dressing room, and he was there in
his pajamas. The women shreked.
III = oil rigbt Indies said MIR Mason.
-Just wait until get on a bath robe and
IN share the room with you.
After a few minutes delay the curtain
went up again. The play was taken up at
a point about five minutes before the break
came in order that both the actors and
audience could get back into the theme.
Last night Mrs. Fiske gave out this state
ment
A woman so weak and silly "a the woman
who disturbed the performance at the Man
haitian Theatre this afternoon should be
discouraged by her friends from attend
ing any theatres. ] am sorry that We did
not learn her name and address 80 that

Own Son. but Quickly Released.
ST. JAMES, l.. J., Jan. 2l.--Ludwig Weisse,
a German, 90 years old, who lived two
miles from this village. went from his home
with a rifle yesterday morning to kill a
cat that his wife, Ernestine, had seen enter

to find the cat Peter Gratzfield. whom

timber land, arrived at the house for his
tools. Mrs. Weisse invited Gratzfed
into the house and went TO the hennery.
Standing on the outside of the building
him OF the workmans arrival. Weisse
replied that just as soon as he killed the cat
he would come. Mrs. Weisse made no reply
and her husband supposed that she had
returned TO the house
Weisse started up the cat and fired at IT,
The bullet missed its mark. went through
the side of the building and struck Mrs.
Weisse in the left side, just below the heart.
The cat escaped and Weisse. coming out
of the hennery, saw his wife slowly sinking
to her knees. AS she fell she exclaimed.
oh, Ludwig, you have shot me-"
Mrs Meisse was carried into the house
by her husband and the workman. She
died before Dr. George I. Tanning, who
was called, reached the house. District
Attorney Livingston Smith ordered the
arrest of Weisse and telephoned 70 Coroner
William B. Gibson Of Huntington. asking
him TO come here as soon as possible. There
being no constable in the village. Weisse
was arrested by his son. Deputy Sheriff
Rudolph Weisse.
The Coroner and District Attorney
Smith visited the Weisse home and decided
that the shooting was accidental Weisse

PARIS, Jan. 2l.-rhe note of Secretary
Hay to the Powers in regard TO preserving
the administrative entity Of China has
caused surprise in French official circles
No one here desired the partition OF China,
but all are anxious TO maintain the open
door policy and the status quo
Russias threat TO protect herself against
Chinese aggression is regarded solely as
a protest which is intended 10 call atten-
ton to the fact that the Chinese authorities
need hauling over the Goals because they
have ufade no efforts TO check the Chun-
chuses and other freebooters, who, at least
NORMALLY, are under Chinese control, from
actively participating in the war. The
protest is aimed at those brigands especially
when they are commanded by Japanese
officers.

Secretary Hay is highly pleased with the

that China is once more saved. Not only
do the overs declare themselves in favor
Of maintaining the integrity Of China, but
the wording of their answers binds them
more closely than ever before. Russia

and should be perpetuated. Men who
neglect to vote should not expect and
do not deserve to have their say in

ions of a certain class, may be one
way of accomplishing this, but what

Congress recently passed a law for
bidding the stamping of the words
United States assay" upon manufac-
lures of gold and silver under a
maximum penalty of $4,000 and a
years imprisonment. Articles so
marked after the passage of the law
shall be forfeited to the government
The facts presented which led to
the passage of this law, showed out
rageous dishonesty and disrespect to

facturers, coupled with an imposition

the pure food and drug frauds recent

Nervousness only in that they do not
injure the public health.
1t seems that while some other
countries pass upon the quality of
gold and silver used in the arts and
affix government hall mark as a
guarantee of their genuineness, the
United States government does not
do so; though there has been no law
against so marking goods. This fact
has not been generally known, and

Against Cigarettes.

Some of the reform movements re-
Gently started are not worth the eX-
pendlture of time and energy re-
auired for their consideration. The
alleged evils they seek to correct are
doubtfully identified; their own re-
suits for good add hgm are too un-
certainly balanced. Among such
movements are those to destroy the
myths of hildhood-Santa Claus the
fairies. the Easter rabbit, etc.,-and
the recent crusade of the Chicago
mothers club against the use of the
old "Now | lay me" prayer. why
can't men and women turn their night
ing strength against real, active evils
instead of frittering it away upon
manufactured ones?
A movement in the right direction
however, is the organization Tor
prompt and earnest action, of the
New England branch of the Worlds
Anti Cigarette league. Miss Lucy
Page Castor of Chicago Is the lead
er. and the officers of the league in
clude such men as Hezekiah Butter
worth. Ex-Governor Bates of Massa-
chusetts, Bishop Mallalieu and Rev.
Francis f. Clark. The society will
try to arouse public sentiment to
sense of the danger which threatens
the country through the use of cigar
cites, both by means of literature and
by addresses from New England min
listers to their congregations. 1t Is
claimed that the cigarette habit in
duces heart disease or consumption.
Out in Indiana, people seem to have
passed the stage where education or
awakening on the subject is needed.
A law has Just been made which posi-
lively forbids the manufacture, sale
or exchange of cigarettes or cigarette
paper and even the giving away or
owning of cigarette papers. The maxi
mum fine for first offense is $50; for
the second, $500 or six months i'm
prisonment. By this law, Indiana says |
plainly that the cigarette must go-if |
the law is enforced.
1t seems strange that respectable |
and intelligent people, knowing as |
they must, the harmful physical eff
fects of this combination of tobacco
and drugs, should allow their young
sons to contract and continue the
habit of cigarette smoking. 1t seems
strange that reputable dealers, know
ing that a state law forbids the selling
Of cigarettes to minors, should con-
tinue to sell to boys. Yet we see boys
cigarettes upon the streets
every day. We often meet the cigar
,tte- smoking boy - Chinese colored, I
Chinese smelling, Chinese in stature.
Where and how do these boys get ;
heir cigarettes?
Are any of our Brattleboro dealers
selling cigarettes illegally, to minors? {
Does anybody know, or is it any t
)ody's business to know? Perhaps S
We shall find out when the league be- 6
,ins to get in it's work. '

We Knew It, Long Ago.

During these days of active dis
cussion of the need of legislation by
congress in relation to railroad rates
and rebates it is worth while to note
the fact that a Vermont governor
more than a quarter of a century ago
called attention to the desirability oil
action by congress with reference TO
interstate commerce. Governor Bar
stow in his retiring message TO the
general assembly of Vermont on Oc-
tober /, 1884, directed attention to
| the matter of the appointment of
commission to which should be dele
gated the general powers of the
state over railroad companies, and
who would be required to make in
quiries as to complaints in regard TO
discriminating and excessive rates
for freight and passengers. Contin-
uing Governor Barstow said that
nothing was of such paramount i'm
portance, however, to the material
interests of the state as proper action
by congress in regard to the regula-
ton of interstate commerce. Il am
informed" he said, that freight is
sent from Chicago to Liverpool at
less rate than is charged Vermont
farmers on their products to Boston.
All are aware that the value of farm
lands and products is largely in
creased by their proximity to manu-
featuring centers. But it is claimed
that high and discriminating rates on
raw material, fuel and manufactured
goods are such as to practically ex-
clude manufacturers from establish
ing themselves in this state, except
perhaps a few points, and If we seek
our markets in Boston and New York,
We are charged higher rates than are
paid to the same points by dealers in
the far west" Conditions as regards
the railroads in Vermont have
to a remarkable degree since |
Governor Barstow delivered his vale |

will serve to show that YER
mont, which is represented on the in
terstate commerce commission by the |
Hon. Charles A. Prouty, was officially |

Some newspapers are commenting
favorably upon the facts that Groton
paid only SIS for the support of its
poor last year, while Waterville paid
nothing at all If industry and thrift
have made such expenditure unneces-
sary, these records are indeed graft
fying. But if people have suffered in
these towns from cold and hunger or
have been i'll and uncared for because
they were too proud to ask for aid;
or if they have asked, and their wants
have been neglected or improperly
met. then these records are bad. They
are records of parsimony and inhu-
mainly that should not be made In

The editor of the syndicate of news
papers printed at Essex Junction is
not an Embarrassment crank, on the
contrary his views have previously
been regarded as ultra-liberal. Never
theless he enters a protest against the
prevalence of dancing in connection
with the social life of our children in
the schools. The conclusion is appar-
emit The harm from dancing, as from
kindred amusements that are by many
people regarded as questionable
(card playing, theater-going, horse
racing. smoking, drinking) lies not in
their practice but in their abuse. Too
much dancing is intemperance, and in
in every form is bad.
