the board is fully willing to take the re.
sponsbilty OF Mr.. iilditch's retention
| because they know that he has forgotten
more about road building than Mr..
Crosby's boy inspector ever knew. For
the correctness of the above statement
refer inquirers to the following we'll
known gentleman: Abel D. Wilson, Eli
Tucker, Elisha Johnson, A. Haviland
Hull, Nathan Grafton and DR.. F. P.
Smithson, who were daily witnesses of
the work as it progressed. On further
examination it will be found that the
estimated cost of this mile of road was
$4,616,92. while the actual cost was
S., 335.29 thus overrunning the estimate
$71S,37.
Because of his criticism of Mr.. Hill
ditch when we started to improve the
Fallston road the County Commissioners
went to Mr.. Crosby and requested him
to select foreman, and he did so, the
person selected being personal friend.
What followed in this mile of road? The
estimate was Sc. 400 per mile, while the
actual cost was SO ,422 Crosby tigures)
thus exceeding the estimate So, O22. Mr..
Crosby speaks of all quarrying, crushing
and delivering of stone having been done
and not under his supervision; we con-
slider that this was fortunate, for had it
been otherwise the result might have
been as in the case of moving earth on
the Forest Hill road under his orders,
which was atterward moved again,
making twofold waste of money.
Il heartily agree with the action OF the
Deer Creek Farmers Club and hope that
they and all other taxpayers of this coun-
ty will join in asking for some relief. We
do not want ANYTHING unreasonable, we
need and want State aid for road build
ing, but when we advance the bulk of the
money we think we should at least be
joint partners in the transaction. Unless
some changes are made in the law we
will simply be compelled to reject the
money, which every county needs badly.
WHY not let the counties have the say of
how much grading shall be done on each
road they desire TO improve and whether
or not an old. solid stone road shall be
torn up to lay new one? We also feel
that the State should bear one-half of
the actual cost of improving a road
snder this law"

Card to the Public.

In response to a widely expressed senti-
ment, the undersigned sometime since organ
lied and incorporated The Peoples Mutual
Fire Insurance Company of Hartford County,
for the sole purpose of furnishing its patrons
reliable home insurance at Il minimum cost
The need for its organization at this time is
emphasized by the fact that the Hartford In
surance Company is substantially reducing
individual risks. thus increasing the demand
for home protection.
To organize a mutual company is difficult
problem, because $ 90, 600 assets full mutual
premium or premium notes. is required at
the beginning of business, and it is not posi-
bic to write over 81 100000 of new business
on a single day.
We recommend that owners of property
allow us to write their insurance to take eff
feet thirty days after our published announce
ment that the same will be binding. This is
the regular method of organizing mutual
companies. An equivalent amount of exist
ing Insurance can then be cancelled and the
premium rebated, costing the insured only
the difference between the full and short term
insurance at the time and annually saving
thereafter an average OF from 20 to 90 per
cent. on stock insurance.
1t is with you to say whether or not you
will make the organization effective, and all
public spirited citizens are hereby urged to
render assistance to this end.
Respectfully,
EDWARD H. HALL.

Several weeks ago we reported that
while Mr. F. II. Iglehart was weighing
two fat steers at Mr.. w. Boyd Bells
scales, on December /, one of which was
very wild escaped and had successfully
eluded capture. He was chased and shot
from time to time for twenty-five days,
but was as hard to bring down as Boer
in South Africa. After fruitless hunt
all Christmas day Mr. Iglehart reached
home at night to learn that few
moments before the steer had returned
to his starting point and had been sue
cessfully brought to the ground by Mr..
Bells trusty rife. 1t may seem strange
when we state that he had wandered
during nearly the whole month Of Decem
Der without perceptible loss of flesh, but
this is easily explained when we recall
how the hunters instinct among these
thrifty farmers prompts them to leave il
their fields portion of the corn crop fo1
the support of the wild teasts of thei
forests. Mr.. Bell is plainly entitled tc
the brush, but who wants to buy thu
hide?

the, addition of corps of choristers and

clared her remuneration of boys clothes for

musical construction, voiced in the mu-
sic of Giacamo Puccini's tragic japanese
opera, Madam Butterfly" This will be
the first libretto of grand opera introduce
ing modern American characters in its
dramatis personae. The initial perform
ance will be given October 10. To offer
specially the one opera for eight perform
ances each week throughout an entire sea-
calls for three complete sets of princi-
pals. The role of Madam Butterfly is a
most eXacting one, and no singer, however
heroic in vocal power, can endure the
strain of more than three performances a
week-none of them successive.
The prima donnas to be heard in the title
role of the opera as given by Mr.. Savage's
company are: The Hungarian singer, Frau.
Eliza SZamoSy, whose success in the role at
the Royal Opera, Budapest. prompted Puc-
cini to declare her IAN ideal Butterfly"
Adelaide Norwood-Brandt, who created
originally the title role in the American
production of Tosca, in Puccinfs opera of
that name, and, who has also sung the
role of Mimi in the composers opera, La

"Cvmbeline.v

For the first time since her great
success made in this city in Hall Gaines
"The Christian" Viola Allen will be seen
in new role in Washington. On
Monday evening, October 1, at the
National Theater, Miss Allen will make
her bow as Imogen in "Cymbeline." The
character is one that is better known to
the Shakespearean student than to the the
atergoer, and, while the beauty and
strength of the character are universally
acknowledged, it calls for such a versatile
ity of talent and such a subtle charm of
manner that few actresses of recent years
have undertaken the role. Miss Allen and
her company will arrive in this city on
Monday and will at once begin daily re-
hearsals with scenery and supernumera-
ries under the direction of Frank Vernon,
the well-known producer of many great
English productions, in order to assure an
opening performance that will be free from
the delays and mishaps usual on such oc-

After a week of serious drama, the Be-
lasco, for the first time in the history of
the Shubert management, will offer week
of extraordinary vaudeville, starting with
a matinee tomorrow afternoon and including
a matinee every day during the engagement.
At first 1t seemed rather strange that this
newly reconstructed and beautiful play
house should lend itself to vaudeville when
the promise of so many independent attrac-
lions had been announced Nevertheless,
circumstances cropped up whereby 1t was
found essentially necessary to postpone the
visit of a booking made, and, determined
that the public-or at least that part which
might be called the patrons of the Belasco
Theater-should not be disappointed in any
way, the Messrs. Shubert have consum-
mated a deal with William Morris, the
vaudeville booking agent, to furnish bill
that is expected to be one of the biggest
entertainments ever offered In Washington.
With this purpose Mr.. Morris has enlisted
the cooperation of the Great Lafayette,
who will appear in his latest and greatest

Columbia Theater.

1.-THE Heir to the Hoorah' will be present.
ed at the Columbia Theater tomorrow night
for the first time in Washington. The new
piece is an American comedy in four acts,
by Paul Armstrong, who had previously
written a farce called 1.-The Super
stit!ons of Sue and a melodrama which
found some favor in the west under the
title of st Anne"
1.-THE Heir to the Hoorah," however, is
neither farce nor melodrama, though it
combines some of the qualities of each as
they are understood in American nomencla-
ture. 1t is a western play and all four acts
take place in interior scenes. The hero Of
the piece is Joe Lacy, miner and typical
rough diamond one Of the trio of chums
who have seen hard days in their quest for
gold, and who have finally been enriched by

Academy of Music.

1.-THE Girl Raff1es," with Cecil Spooner as
Raff1es, is the attraction at the Academy
this week. This Coincidence during the
past five years has entertained a legion
of admirers at her own theater in New
York, and is now making her first visit to
others of the larger cities. Miss Spooner
is described as occupying the same place
on the contemporary stage that Lolita once
held.
Miss Spooner was so highly pleased with
the character Of Raffles that she decided to
make it the vehicle for a seasons starring
even though this compelled her to bid fare
well for while to her home theater and
New York friends.
The role Miss Spooner assumes requires
the gifts of the Coincidence, the emotional
artistic and the character impersonator.
She enacts several different parts during
the development of the play, and will in

law.
Joe has done the handsome thing by the
girl when he married her, and Mrs. Joe
being well established in this worlds goods
through her marriage settlements, the
mother-in-law takes Joe in hand and sets
about nagging him into a separation from
his wife. His crudities of manner and of
speech afford the old lady abundant ma
terial for her purpose. After Joe and his
wife have parted an heir to the Hoorah
mine is born, and through the baby the
couple are brought together again.
There are two subsidiary love stories
which furnish amusement along high COM
edy and low comedy lines. One Is an af-
fair between Van Rensselaer, Kelly, a
Harvard man who has gone broke and
who seeks to better his fortunes as fore
man in the Hoorah mine, and Mrs. Kate
Brandon. breezy western widow. who. as
the owner of the Katydid mine. has an album
dance of money and a disposition to share
1t with Kelly.
The other little love story has to do with
Bud Young, a crude westerner, partner of
Joe Lacy in the Hoorah, who has been
strung along by Joe and Dave Lacy
about certain maiden aunt, Madge Casey,
until, as he says, before he sees Madge,
whenever he has a nightmare the maiden
aunt is It" When, however. Miss Casey.
svelte youthful and beautiful arrives
fresh from Vassar, things are different,
and she completes her revenge for the un-
fortunate Buds misjudgment by eventually
marrying him.
The late Mr.. LaShelle, according to New
York opinion exercises more than his usual
accurate taste and judgment in casting the
new comedy. He took Guy Bates Post,
who will be remembered for his exquisite
bit of work as Steve in THE Virginian,' -
from that comedy, to create the leading
role of Joe Lacy. Miss Janet Beecher plays
Geraldine, the wife, and other principals
Helene Lackeye, Frank Monroe, Gertrude
Dalton, Louis Morrell and Ralph Dean.

LONDON MUSICAL SEASON.
What Mr.. Otto Torney Simon Says
About It.

Mr.. Otto Simon, In speaking of the past
musical season in London, says: The latter
part of the season, in June and July, at
the Covent Garden Opera House is given to
the French and Italian schools. Occasion
ally one hears an isolated opera of the
German school. fike Beethoven's great
'Fidelio,' but the ring of Wagner is over
and the German singers have returned to
their own country. Interest in the opera
in London still centers largely In the indi-
yidual singer. One hears of Puccini as the
man of the day. True, his La Boheme'
and Mime. Butterfly have been this year
on the high wave of popularity, but a no.
ticeable fact is that when Melba and Caruso
are in the cast the house will be sold out.
With singers not SO well known, and yet
forming cast of excellence, the audience
would be lamentably small. The modern
Italian opera dazzles with its daring and
elaborate orchestration. but contrast its
sincerity of purpose and text with the
operas of Gluck. who lived $50 years ago.
or the 'Fidelio' Of Beethoven. written the
