house adjoining that institution with
four bullets IN his body.
1t was case Of suicide. No one

with an iron bar while fighting with

suit of that injury.

HENS THAT CAN'T STRAY
New Jersey Genius Triumphs Over
Inherited Evils in the Biddy
Family.

Charles Spencer of Newton, N
j., had been troubled by his neigh.
bors' chickens scratching in his gar.
den, so he set to work to "devise" a
hen that could not scratch or wander
away from its own yard.
After Encouragement he claims to
have produced a number OF hens
with one leg shorter than the other
by the crossing OF Plymouth Rock
and bantams.
These hens, he asserts, have a
right leg six inches long and left
leg but four inches. They are UNI
able to wander any distance from the
coop owing to their inability to take
steps of the same length. Instead
they walk around in circle.

very popular years ago and still a
favorite on the professional and am
ateur stage, was given by local sing
ore OF Music h0ll puesday and We'd
nesday evenings for the pleasure OF
two large audiences. 1t has been in
preparation for some weeks and the
result of many rehearsals was an I'M
usually smooth and finished perform
ances. While "Olivette" is the most
pretentious musical piece ever at
tempted in Woodstock, it may also
be said that it was the best amateur
productions ever given here. The
score had no difficulties for the sing
ers of the leading roles, the solos and
duets all being delightfully."- rendered,
and for a background there was a
well-drilled and prettily costumed
chorus.
Miss Roma Carpenter made a
graceful and charming "Olivette, " in
voice and natural dramatic ability
having all the part required, and she
was enthusiastically applauded in
the more familiar numbers, the sob
bling song, and "The Torpedo and
the Whale" AS the Countess, "

representative of royalty and though
she was troubled with cold Tues
day evening sang with much strength
and sweetness, her duet with Oil
vette being one of the gems of the
opera.

teur, was as entertaining as ever in
the part of Capt DeMerimac, and
Harry P Wayman of Dartmouth, as
Marvejol, proved to be one of the
best comedians seen on the local
stage in long time, contributing a
great deal to the humor of the piece,
G. Henry Hathaway, another Dart
mouth singer with an excellent tenor
voice. was heard here for the
first time with much pleasure. Roger

in a somewhat exacting part, and
others who assisted in the success of
the opera were Mrs. Mary NJ.

Christie Buchanan.
A. NJ. Leonard of Claremont, n.
H., directed the orchestra, which fur
nished an excellent accompaniment.
Mrs. George w. Merrill, who has
done a great deal Of work in the
preparation of the piece, was at the
piano.

and very well acted The curtain
