"Details come to Brattleboro about
an exceedingly sporty fox hunt that
took place in Guilford Tuesday. The
objects of the chase were two tame
foxes that had been kept in captivity
since early in the spring. The first fox
was released in the morning but was 50
tame that the hunters had to SNOWFALL
it in order to get it out of the yard.
After il had run few rods it, was
killed by the unerring aim of one MIN
rod and the whole gathering then adj
iourned for dinner. The second fox,
which was released in the afternoon was
even tanner than the first and would not
run in spite of the snowballing to
which it was subjected However, the
hunters managed to kill it also, and
doubtless were well satisfied with their
day work.

Nine. Modjeska as Lady Macbeth.

The farewell appearance of Madame
/ Modieska at the auditorium last even
! ing was a dramatic event of Importance
to Brattleboro and was appreciated as
evidenced by the large audience in at
tendance. The play selected by the
majority of those who purchased sub
scribers' tickets was Macbeth, The
company was a large one of uniformly
good actors; the parts were well as
, signed and well balanced.
To Madame Modieska as Lady Mae
beth no more fitting praise can be given
than to say that she was perfectly
adapted to the role as a woman and
thoroughly in sympathy with the spirit
of the author and the character as an
actress; in short she was herself at
her best. If it is true that this great
actress will not appear again after this
season before American audiences, it is
truly pity, for judging by last night S
performance, she might yet have many
years in which to delight American au-
diences. She was well supported by
Charles d. Herman as Macbeth, who
though less famous than the star, was
scarcely less skillful in his rendition of
a difficult part. The balance of the east
was all good, particularly Frederic
Montague as Macduf who portrayed
the emotions pertaining to vengeance
in masterful manner. The wounded
sergeant and the three witches and the
drunken porter were very clever in
their respective parts. Mr.. Levers as
Banquo and Mr.. Hoyt as King Duncan
were not quite up to the rest of the east.
The scenery was good for a travelling
company and was handled with as lit
tie distraction as possible considering
the almost innumerable changes. The
audience were deeply interested in the
development of the play as evidenced
rather by its silence at intense points
than by the customary applause. Man
ager Fox has reason to be deeply graft |
fed at the success of this performance |

HEAVY GALE ON RIVER.
Sailing Vessels of All Kinds Feel Eff
fects Of the Blow.

Potomac rlvermen have a saying that
after an unusually high tide lookout for a
westerly blow The saying seems to be
true. for the high tides of Thursday and
Friday were followed yesterday by the
heaviest westerly blow of the season. The
force of the gale was sufficient to cause
quite heavy sea on the river, particularly
at the forks of the channel, and the small
vessels that We're out In it We're tossed
about like big ships are in a gale on the
Atlantic. The blow Is reported to have
been quite heavy on the bay. but as yet
no reports of vessels in trouble have been
received here.
When the gale first started yesterday it
broke the lines that held the schooner j.
G. Cunningham to the oyster wharf foot
OF 11th street southwest and sent her and
the schooners William F. Villas and Col.
]. Graham, which Were moored alongside
and outside the Cunningham, adrift with
her. Some trouble was had in working the
vessels back to the wharf, but no damage
was done them.
AS the bugeye Goldie c., Capt Curley,
was endeavoring to make her way into the
berth on the west side of the oyster wharf
in the height of the gale yesterday, in or
der to unload cargo of oysters, the wind
caught her, and blowing her against the
bugeye Kirby, broke the stern boat davits
of the latter vessel, but did no other
damage.
The little sIoop Glorana one of the local
fleet of pleasure boats which has been lying
at anchor in the stream off the foot of
10th street southeast was sent adrift by
the force of the gale her anchor dragging.
AS she was going down the harbor two
boys went out to her on small boat, and
brought her into the wharf foot of Sth
street. where she now lives. The little craft
was unframed, and will be returned to her
anchorage when the gale becomes less vio-
lent.

AID FOR FRIENDLEss
PROTECTION OF CoLoRED WON
EN- THEME OF LECTURE.

Protection of Colored Women as cara
ried- on by the New York and the Phila-
delphia associations organized for that pur-
pose, was the subject of lecture delivered
last night before the Civic Club by Miss
Elizabeth NJ. Rhodes of New York
Miss Rhodes explained to the club. which
is made up of the leading colored men NJ
the city. how the officers of the committees
are cooperating in assisting negro women
to honest occupations.
zone OF the greatest sources of the sup
ply Of houseworkers, she said lis the
negro. AS a result of Investigations ex
tending from Richmond to the north 1t has
been found that women are being brought
north under conditions which make 1t i'm
possible for many of them to secure honest
places. These associations have been
formed with the following aims: To pre-
vent friendless negro women from being
sent north by irresponsible agencies.
TO place matronS at the southern ports
who Will advise, direct and counsel with
these women before they leave, and will
direct them to friendly visitors who have
already been placed al the docks in the
northern cities.
ITO urge separate steerage accommoda-
tons for men and women, and to provide
for the employment of stewardesses on all
ships. To provide respectable lodging
houses. A house has been opened by the
association at ia South 18th street, Phila-
delpha, and in New York the association
Is cooperating with such homes as the
White Rose Mission, the Young Womens
Christian Association, etc. To estab ish
training schools for those willing to learn.
The Young Women's Christian Association
of Brooklyn has equipped and opened such
a school, and Philadelphia has one at Ger
mantown.
Work to Be Extended
This year an effort will be made TO ex-
tend the work of these associations to the
cities of Washington, Baltimore and Rich
mond. Legislation is much needed IN the
Southern states to prevent negro women
from being sent out by employment agen-
cies to disorderly places in northern cities.
Last year representative from one of the
cooperating southern institutions called on
one or two agencies in Richmond and init
mated that girls We're wanted for such
houses. The agents offered to find any
number without asking any further ques-
tons. only stating that the fee was larger
for such places. Only an interstate system
of protection can meet an interstate Sys-
tenn which employs such methods. The
work is supported by contributions to these
associations
