QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER
The Great Rural Play Coming
Here.

The fame of the New England play
"Quincy Adams Sawyer" has spread
all over the country and everywhere
theatre-going people are on the qui
vive to see it. 1t is booked to play an
engagement here Thursday, Sept Il,
at the Opera House and crowded
house will doubtless show its ap-
proval of the wholesome story of
New England life. The charm of the
book is felt in the play All the prin-
cipal characters that were in the book
are in the play, moving about among
he most naturally realistic scenes
ever put on the American stage. One
critic saiG of the play: ''lt is as
sweetly natural as the breath Of the
fields, the good folks who move in its
scenes are real, and their honest
humor and everyday views of life are
cheerful while throughout the clever
chain of events runs the golden thread
of a unique love story"
The play is built distinctly on COM
edv lines and there is almost con-
tinuous laugh from beginning to end, !,
the sweet, dignifed love scenes be-
tween Quincy Adam Sawyer and the
blind girl, alone commanding that
respectful silence which proves that
the author who penned the tender,
sentimental touches. and the actors
who portray them, compel that invol-
untary sympathy which is the highest
tribute to genius and art.

A LETTER FROM ENGLAND
Rev. w. T. Walker Writes Inter-
estingly of His Travels
There.
Northampton, England, Aug. 20.
Dear Messrg. Crawford:

Northampton, Eng gIand, Aug. ~.
Dear Messrs. Crawford:
At last I write as per your request
to tell you little of our travels. We
were delighted on reaching New York
to find. our friend Elmore Y. Hutchison
and his cousin Archie waiting to get
on board the 'Cedric'' with us. We
had delightful passage absolutely
free from that horrible monster, sea-
sickness. We are hoping for as good
things on our return journey.
So far as weather is concerned this
is a very unfortunate season for visi-
tors. English people complain that
they have had no summer, and Of
course they are not likely to get much
now. 1t has been very wet and cold.
l have been very glad to note some
striking improvements here, especially
in travelling facilities. The horse
seems to be at a discount in these
days of electric cars and motor buses.
The latest thing in London is the
electro-line. By the way the Tube
railway in London is a gem. Those
of US who remember the old under
ground railway cannot help marking
the contrast.
Politically Great Britain is feeling
her way to some mighty changes.
The great measure of this session Of
Parliament is a land measure which
provides for the utilizing of waste
land, etc., and is known as the Land
Bill. Next session is expected to wit
ness the passage of great Temper
ance Bill, and the following session a
great Educational Bill. Disestablish-
ment of the church is not lost sight Of,
but the great issue Of the future is
likely to be the House Of Lords. The
people seem determined that they will
not be governed by the privileged
classes, but by their OWE direct repre-
sentatives. But enough Of this.
| have just returned from a summer
school" at Cambridge, held under the
auspices of the National Free Church
Council. 1t is the first of the kind
and has been a splendid success.
Some of the most famous scholars of
the day were present as lecturers in
Guiding Prof. Rogers Of Drew Semi
nary, Prof. Deismann of Heidelberg,
Prof. Gawie of Glasgow and Prof.
Peake of Manchester. 1t was indeed
great privilege to sit under these men.
[ am afraid [ have already written
at too great a length.
We shall reach Mineral Point (D.V.)
about the end of September. We are
having a delightful time.
With very kind regards and best
wishes to friends of Mineral Point and
vicinity, [ am
Yours as ever, W. T. WALKER.

State Regulation of Parties.

The Madisonian: Twenty years ago
political parties made their own rules
and changed them whenever they saw
fit. Now we have iron clad rules
dealing with the minutest things in
voluntary political ass ociations. The
enforcement of these rules costs the
state approximately d hundred thou
sand dollars every two years. Are
the benefits commensurate with the
expenditure? Have we gotten better
and more competent public officials?
No one will pretend we have. Then
why stick to these expensive rules?

was evidenced by deposltors. Slight
runs occurred at some OF the larger

of funds are on hand quickly dis
PEELED fears of loss. The doors OF
the Safe Deposit & Trust Company
