Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

It is not only reasonable to expect that the bill which had it's first pre- sentation of the week at the Jacques this afternoon will prove to be not only the most popular one of the sea- son but of many past ones. Seldom is a program seen on which every number is popular hit but this very unusual feature is the most noticeable phase of this weeks card at the Jacques. In the first place the head line number, the eight Vassar girls, is by long odds the best act of it's kind on the variety stage and as local audiences heartily appreciate the best in music. singing and dancing. the of fering of these eight beautiful girls should particularly please. The act is new both in the essentials and acci- dentals. the work of the players in class as high as the standard to which vaudeville is rapidly climbing, and there is dash of novelty in the finish that will set the city by the ears. Neatness, skill. talent, training. and a beautiful setting are the hall marks of the number and the characteristics of the work of the company. Every one should see the Eight Vassar girls and by the time the matinee perfor- nance Is over the news to that effect will have been disseminated over town. Equally great as the Eight Vassar girls. but in different way, is the comedietta Tactics" which is produced by the Barrows-Lancaster company of artists. The sketch has all the merit of four-act play with out any of it's demerits, the action is rapid and consistent, the dialogue crisp and delightful, and the dramatic situations really fine. The players, James o. Barrows. John Lancaster, Miss Bingham and Harry Robinson, are actors of exceptional capabillty, and the characterization of Messrs Bar rows and Lancaster superb in every detail. Tactics" is a splendid play let magnificently played. The other numbers include Al Lawrence. the man with the funny face. Hawthorn and Bent. Rocco Ferranti: Marlow, Plunkett and company: 0'Neilfs min strels and the Photograph Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents: afternoons, 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10 cents.

American Archery.

The practice of archery as a pastime has been popular in England ever since the days of its greatest glory, when Robin Hood, the bold outlaw and mas. ter bowman, and his merry clan roam ed through the glades and glens of the kings woods where the game did most abound" as freebooters and troublers of the realm Of course. says Albert Rankin Clark. In Recreation. archery has never nourished in mod. ern times with that vigor which Is dis. played when the bow held the su- premaey among weapons of warfare, but it has yet. and always will have, many ardent promoters. and when the present popular instruments of recre- stion are but museum relics, the twang Of the bowstring and the swift flight of the feathkred shaft vill still possess their fascination for the human race.

The, construction of dolls house gives wide scope for the exercise of . child's ingenuity. Not only may the chairs. tables. beds and other furniture be executed with more or less skill. but the house itself may be built and would provide an interesting and expressing occupation for half holidays and odd moments.

KENToN, July 3:-While playing at
home in the yard, the little four year
old daughter of ]. E. Sylvester of near

week. The fracture was reduced by
her physician and the little girl is do
ing nicely.
The Board of Directors of the Ken

building painted and repaired. The
improvements were badly needed and it
was deemed wise tc start the work
early so that nothing would interfere
with having the property in proper
shape before another school term
opened.

HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT AFTERMATH
Program Last Wednesday Evening Aftermath
SplendidIy Rendered and Fine Address.


SpIeudidy Rendered and Fine Address.
The closing exercises of Commence
ment Week which took place at the
Smyrna Opera House last Wednesday
evening was one of the most effective
that has been given in a number of
years, for outside of a splendid pro-
gram, itwas the first time the cap and
gown figured in our High School Com
mencement Exercises. Long before
the curtain rose, every available seat
in the Opera House was taken and
many who could not get standing room
were forced to turn away. On the
stage which was beautifully decorated
with field dasies, asparagus ferns and
large American flag, there sat besides
the class of eleven graduates in cap
and gown, the Board of Directors of
the Smyrna Public Schools, Principal
Burdette and the speaker of the even
ing, Hon. Henry g. Conrad. Watkins
Orchestra of five pieces discoursed
some of their brightest music. The
program opened with an invocation by
the Rev. G.. Valerie Gilreath of st.
Peters Church after which Miss F.
Edna Dick, gave the salutatory. Her
subject was "Helen Keller" and what
she had to say was interesting and to
the point. Miss Dick stood second in
her class and received high credit for
the work she accomplished in the High
| School. After another selection by
Watkins Orchestra Miss Ida Reed
gave the valedictory and the subject of
her essay was ''The Value of Time"
which was full of excellent thoughts
and finely executed. Miss Reed, who
stood first in her class, received the
highest honor. The manner in which
she made the best of her opportunities
by close study and meritorious work,
was highly gratifying not only to her
friends but to everybody who likes to
see merit have its reward. Mr.. Walter
o. Hoffecker sang baritone solo "Out
on the Deep" after which Hon. Henry
G. Conrad gave the address of the
evening. The latter without any
attempt at oratory or flights ofrhetoric,
gave plain and practical talk on "The
Growth of Education" and illustrated
his points with facts taken from the
lives of our own Delaware boys who
had risen to prominence in their chosen
professions. It was an address we'll
calculated to leave deep and lasting
impression on the Graduating Glass of
1905. After another selection by the
orchestra Principal Burdette, who was
also attired in cap and gown, directed
the class to arise and with impressive
ceremonies awarded the diplomas on
behalf of the Smyrna Public Schools.
Rev. Albert Chandler of Smyrna
Circuit pronounced the benediction.
The graduates were as follows:-Ida
Reed, Fannie Edna Dick, Lewis CARL
Price, Mildred Amelia Start, Davis
Hankins Bell, Jemima Elizabeth Short,
Emily Davis Middleton, Henrietta
Jones, James Dirickson Cummins,
Gussie Kennard Chandler, John Har-
rIson Gearhart.

ANOTHER JAIL DELIVERY AT GEORGETOWN
Fifteen Prisoners Escaped From the Old Pen
at Georgetown, Thursday Afternoon.

rHteeu rrlsouers LsCdpeo from Tue UId Pen
at Georgetown, Thursday Afternoon.
Fifteen prisoners, IL colored and
four white, escaped from the George
town Jail at o'clock Thursday after
noon. They we're locked in an up
stairs room, and cut hole in the CELL
ing; thereby effecting an entrance to
the third story room. They then went
down the front stairs to the second
floor of the sheriff's residence, and
made their escape from second story
window to porch and out of the back
yard. Sheriff Lynch and wife were
away and the escape was not known
until they were out of town. Among
those who escaped were: James Brown,
alias "Slim Jim" for burglary; James
Morris, white, serving a four years
sentence for attempting felonious
assault; Roy Thompson, a young
white man, sentenced for highway rob-
berry; Dulaney Maddox, who is serving
life sentence for killing Joseph Polk
at Bridgeville, and Jacob Lofand, col
ored, who is serving a life sentence
for killing his sweetheart near Milford
about two years ago. Seven prisoners
refused to go. A posse was formed as
soon as the escape was found out and
started in pursuit of the fugitives, but
as the latter had good start on the
posse, it is doubtful they will be cap
tured. They left together and said
they would not be retaken.
