Charles F., Underhill appears at the Town hall, Newtown, Monday evening, December 10, in "The Rivals" Prof Bliss Perry says of MT Underhill: Williams College, Williamsburg, Mass. MT Underhill has read "The Rivals" and "A Midsummer Nights Dream" in the Thompson Course, at Williams College, and has won deservedly high praise for the fine quality of his work. His rendering of these plays is distin- guished by an intelligent, sympathetic appreciation of the text, by delicate sense of the limits to which the reader is obliged to restrict himself, and by 8 most skillful use of all the legitimate resources of his art. He has an ad- mirable voice, with a manner that commands at once the respect of an audiences: and his interpretation of classic English comedy is so unstrained and graceful, so free from all turbu- lence and exaggeration, that it is 8 very great pleasure to listen to him. Bliss Perry, Professor of Elocution and English.
 This letter was written while Prof Perry was at Williams college. He

MORE RULINGS ON RATE LAW
Intcrstatc Commission knocks Out
Extension of Tickets for Sick
ness of Purchaser.

The Interstate Commerce commission has
handed down decision that the railroads
can. no longer extend the limit of tickets
because of sickness The practice of the
railroads has been to extend the lIhit of
ticket provided the purchaser made
sufficient showing that he was unable to
continue his travels within the required
time, but this has been changed The
commission held that perhaps this should
he done in cases of emergency, but that
90 per cent of the cases were not bona fide
and were simply subterfuge to get an
extension on cheap rate ticket when the
purchaser was not entitled to it.
The Interstate Commerce commission has
ruled that the railroads may continue to
make excursion rates on the certificate
plan for designated societies. Another
ruling is given that party rates. hereto
fore made by the railroads for organized
parties one way, such as theatrical par
ties and such organizations, must now
apply to the public alike. The supreme
court, under the old law, decided against
this stand, but what IL will do under the
new law will have to be determined

WOMEN RUN AT WRONG TIME
One who Loses Purse FIees from
Man Who Finds IL for
Her.

II the owner OF a small black leathern
belt purse will call on Chief of Police
Donahue she may receive the receptacle by
proving ownership
Among the many strange and curious
things Chief Donahue is called upon to
straighten out was one which came to his
attention Saturday morning by an old man
bent with a rheumatic afliction. The
caller, who would not give his name for
public print, said he was walking behind
two young women at Sixteenth and Harvey
streets. He noticed one of them dropped
the purse, which he picked up and then
fastened on to overtake the women, which
he did toward Farnam street. As he neared
the women he called to them, but evidently
mistaking the old mans motive, the women
broke into a run and kept on at lively
clip, turning neither to the right nor to
the left nor stopping to consider what
manner of man had accosted them. The
old man told the chief that some women
are strange CRITTERS"
Chief Donahue has the purse. which con-
tanned four 25-cent pieces The chief said
