The story is anything but intricate,
but it affords vehicle for an unusually
large number of clever songs and jokes
and much amusing horse play Mr..
Daley as the ubiquitous and resource
full Scoops maintained a fusillade of
witty sayings during his presence on the
stage-in fact they came so fast that
many of them went rightS by the audi
ence. His song, The Simple Life, was
very clever although making its ap-
peal to an audience nearer Broadway
than the one that heard it Monday
evening. Toby Lyons, the old baseball
player and umpire, as Bunny, the emu
lator of Gazabo. the dime novel buc
cancer, shared honors with Mr.. Daley
Gazabo, the Buccaneer. which he sang
with the assistance of the male chorus,
was one of the hits of the evening.
Kate Condor did not appear in the part
of Dolores but her understudy was a
good singer and her rendition of the
Mexican Serenade was one of the best

as Dolly did well both in singing and
acting. Her sweet soprano was heard
to particular advantage in the song In
a Hammock. Charles H. Bowers made
a good Captain Seabrooke and contrib
uted a pleasing number in A Sailor s
Sweetheart Theodore Friebus in the
mart of the rebellion promoter with the
long name and Carrie Graham as Betty,
the ships mascot, were both all right.
Mention should also be made of the
numbers, Think 1t Must Be Love by
Bunny, Betty and Scoops and Moon
Dear by Bunny and Betty. The chorus
sang well and looked well, the costumes
were pretty and the stage setting appro-

The slate went through without either of
the names being rubbed off; James Loren
Martin of Brattleboro for United States dis.
trict court judge and Alexander Dunnett of
st. Johnsbury for United States district at
torney. 1t had been a foregone conclusion
for long time that Martin would step from
the position of district attorney to district
judge. The introduction of names of such
other men as Frank Plumley of Mortified,
A. A. Hall of st. Adams and e. G. Mower
of Burlington was purely gratujtous and
complimentary. 1t gave friends of the men
toned ones opportunity to groom their can
didates for future events, while 1T also
served to remove the cut-and-dried aspect Of
the thing. With his long legal practice and
his acquaintance with the district attorney
ship, the new judge will enter upon his
duties with the benefit of experience.-B

To the ordinary observer it would appear
that Brattleboro has been pretty well taken

there are others whose selection for the
judgeship would suit the people of Yer.
mont just as well, and who would fill the
office with credit to themselves and the

The appointment is most fitting one.
For years Mr.. Martin has been recognized as
one of the leading lawyers of the Vermont
bar. His successful experience as district
attorney makes the coming appointment in
the nature of a deserved promotion. That
he will fill the honored position with credit
no one can doubt who knows the man. The
