A THEATRICAL TREAT.
Louis Mann and Clara Lipman to Be
Seen Here Oct. s in Julie Bonbon

Julie Bonbon is the name of Clara
Lipman S maiden effort at playwriting.
1t is a four-act comedy and comes here
Friday, Oct. 5, cordially endorsed by
leading critics of New York where it
enjoyed a phenomenally successful run
of nearly six months last season. The
locale of the piece is New York. Julie
Bonbon is an ultra fashionable Partisan
milliner who has established herself in
business on Fifth avenue. She makes
periodical visits to Paris in search of
new ideas for her wealthy patrons.
During one of her voyages across the
Atlantic she makes the acquaintance
of and falls in love with young man.
Each is ignorant of the other S iden-
tity. The young man proves to be
Van Brunt, good family of forbidding
social prestige. He is Mortified when
he calls upon Julie Bonbon and discov-
ers she is Sin trade His mother as
a matter of course frowns upon the
match and does all in her power to sep
arate the young man from JUNE.
Julie S father aggravates matters by
calling upon the aristocratic Mrs. Van
Brunt to see if some arrangement can
not be made by which he at least may
be benefited financially. This role of
Papa Jean Pouiol is enacted by Louis
Mann. 1t is the stellar part and the
consensus of opinion seems to be that
it is the most logically sustained and
thoroughly enjoyable Characterization
ever made by this, one of America s
foremost character actors. As an I'M
pecunious Frenchman with an all abb
sorbing and unquenchable thirst for al
cohol, Mr.. Mann is seen and heard at
his best. The part was written espe-
cially for him by his wife Miss Lip
mani as indeed was the whole play for
that matter, and the talented young
authoress is to be congratulated on
having achieved triumph which so
many older and more experienced play
wrights had tried and signally failed
to accomplish.
The production is lavish one even
for the Shubert brothers, who have an
enviable record for staging pieces with
out regard to cost. The supporting
cast is large and capable. 1t contains
upwards of 40 names. Among others
are Miss Ida Lewis, Franklin Wood
ruff, William C. Andrews, Miss Muriel
Macarthur, Miss Ada May Talbot, Miss
Cornelia Lyndes, Miss Maggie Weston,
Miss Madeline Dallas, Miss Leona
Stevens, Miss Beatrice Bertrand, Miss
Jane Fearnly, Martin G. Brown, Al

STATE GOOD ROADS MEETING.
Will Be Held in Montpelier Oct. 16 and
17-Plans Under Way.

At meeting of citizens interested in
good roads held in Montpelier Wednes
day evening it was unanimously voted
to invite Col W. H. Moore of st. Louis,
president of the National Good Roads
association, to hold a state good roads
convention in Montpelier on Tuesday
and Wednesday, October 16 and IL
next. Hon. Wellington E. Loucks, ma
tional organizer, succinctly explained
what such conventions have done at
the capitals of other states. One fea-
ture of this convention will be an ex-
hibition of scientific road building on
some street of Montpelier. The expense
of the convention will be about $500 of
which $500 goes to the national officers
and the remainder for incidental ex-
penses, hall, printing, etc.
The convention will be held in ar
mory hall or the opera house. 1t is
proposed to make the members of the
legislature accredited delegates, that
every road commissioner in the state
shall also be a delegate and that men
from every town and city in the state
who are interested in road building
shall have seats in the convention. In
the evening of the first day Colonel
Moore will give his illustrated lecture
on the highways of the world. Mr..
Loucks will establish headquarters at
Montpelier next week and will remain
at Montpelier most of the time until
the convention is held assisting the
local committees

American Express Co. Raises Rates.

The American Express company has
Just put into force its REIMBURSEMENT of
rates in conformity with the rebate
law. Under the new rule all patrons
have to pay exactly the same rate
whether they ship one pound year or
million. On packages weighing less
than 100 pounds the rate has been adj
vanced slightly but on packages weigh
ing over 100 pounds the rate remains
the same. The rate is considerably les
sened when the package travels over
two lines of road. This gives equality
to all in the express business. The com
pany has issued circular to all its Of
fees making dismissal the penalty for
an employee who makes false state
ments in regard to the weight or CLASH
fication of any package. This conforms
with the recently enacted law.
1t would seem at first sight that the
new ruling makes no difference to the
average person 1t will be noticed,
however, that the rate on packages
weighing less than 100 pounds has been
increased and packages sent by ex-
press generally weigh less than that
amount. Probably 50 per cent. of the
express business is done in weights OF
less than 100 pounds, so the company
has not had the public veal entirely at
heart The stock of the American ex-
press company is valued at about $3.50
per share and is paying 9 per cent
dividend. These facts naturally lead
one to enquire why it was necessary to
raise the rates.

as long as she was able to be about
and was one of its staunch supporters.

Death of Wells s. Frost.

Wells S. Frost, II, died suddenly of
apopleXy at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. W. II. Proctor, on High street,

room upstairs with the intention of re-
firing. Near the head of the stairs he
fell and was dead by the time help ar
rived. Mr. Frost was born in this town
Oct. 20, 1894 son of Charles G.. Frost

While still youth Mr. Frost began

FIELDING AVERAGES.
That Third Game With Bondville.

Last week our Bondville correspond
emf contributed an article with REFER
once TO the rubber game between the
Athletics and the aggregation repre-
senting the village of Bondville on the
diamond. Presumably the utterance
was from the manager or some OF ms
confreres and stated that the Athletics
rather than risk game with the above
maintained team had disbanded. The
facts of the case were that a cores
nondeuce had been held in regard 10
= game in Bondville and all that the
Bondville management would offer was
dinners for 10 men and $50 whlch
would not pay the travelling expenses
Of tbe team, so the Athletics disbanded'
Then came the article stating that the
Athletics were afraid, etc. Manager
Riley Immediately offered to reorgan-
i've the team if suitable guarantee
would be provided. He offered to give
tbe Bondville team $40 to come mere
or 70 take the same amount TO 60 10

Postoffice Fight at the Falls.

The campaign for successor to the
late Barney Cannon, ,jr, postmaster of
Bellows Falls, started briskly bright
and early Monday morning and is still
in uncertain stages of development. In
making the appointment it is probable
that Congressman Haskins will take am
pie time to learn the real desires of the
republican patrons of the office and
some think that an appointment may
be made to take effect in January when
Mr.. Cannon S present term would have
expired.
The active candidates who have petit
tions in the field are: J. H. Blakley, l..
s. Hayes and D. M. Thayer.' Each
seems to be receiving good support in
the way of signatures and if signatures
decide the matter the outcome is prob
lematical All are good men and who
ever is the lucky man Bellows Falls is
sure of having capable postmaster.
Some have expressed themselves as
favoring a caucus of all the patrons of
the office, and the man receiving the
most votes to have the office. Post
offices are still political plums and it is
quit likely that it would take at least
the united request of all candidates to
persuade Congressman Haskins to re-
sort to a caucus to decide the question,
when congressman the country over are
jealously watching the division of fed
eral patronage in their several districts.
The candidate who has been most ac
tive in republican politics and who has
the heaviest list of republican patrons
of the office on his list, not the longest
list, but the list that represents the
largest amount of postoffice business,
will probably get the appointment

BATTING AND FIELDING RECORD.
Work of the Players During the Sea
son-L. Allen Still Chief STATESMAN.

The season just closed has been a
prosperous one for the Athletics al
though many rainy Saturdays have
been encountered A total of q games
has been played of which the Athletics
have won Is, tied one and lost 10, and
secured 1854 runs to their opponents
ll6. The averages have changed some
what during the last few games. The
most noticeable is the slump of John
son, who was unable to maintain the
fast clip that he started. In another
season and with more experience he
will round into a good player, Louis
Allen leads the batters while March
leads the fielders. Davis did excellent
work with the willow during the last
few games and fattened his batting
average to 1923, Appended below are
the averages throughout the season of
every player who took part in any
game:
