Peter Pan Coming.
"Every man with the heart of bow il
Peter Pam" This sentence explains the
remarkable popularity OF J. M. Barrie's
great play, Peter Pan, which Charles
Frohman will present at Chandler Music
hall Thursday evening, Dec. 26.
Peter Pan has marked an epoch in the
drama among English-speaking peoples.
The popular love for it seems to increase
rather than to diminish. For five years
it has been prime favorite with theatre
goers in London and the English pro-
vlnces, and in America it is now in its
third year Of recordbreaking favor.
1t was thought that Mr.. Barrie had
reached the high-water mark of his popu-
larity with American play-goers in the
success of his ''Little Minister" But
Peter Pan far outstrips ''The Little Min
ister." A positively new note has been
struck by Mr.. Barrie in Peter Pan, whim-
steal and fanciful this author always
is. 1t is not too much to say that no
man except Mr.. Barrie could write Peter
Pan. 1t really seems that he has discov-
cred something new under the sum-
No one has ever seen play like Peter
Pan. 1t is in class entirely by itself.
Its atmosphere is one of gentle, whole
some optimism, its message one of the
blithest given to man. There is a stimu-
lus for the mind and FLIP for the blood
in every line and in every action in it.
To miss it is nothing short of misfor-
tune.
Charles Frohman from the time that he
received from Mr.. Barrie the manuscript
of Peter Pan saw its beauty and POSSIBLE
titles and has given to it most sympathe-
tic interest in presenting it on the stage.
Mr.. Frehman and Mr.. Barrie have been
most unusually rewarded, the manager
for his courage in staging Peter Pan and
Mr.. Barrie in writing it. Mr.. Frohman
will give local theatre-goers as careful
production of Peter Pan as those at the
Empire theatre, New York, or the Duke
of York's theatre, London.

Emery--Wood,

!
Alonzo Emery of Bethel and Miss Mer-
tie Wood, only daughter of the late Will
liam S. Wood, were united in marriage
last Thursday morning at the home of the
bride on Park street, Rev. Fraser Metzger
OF Bethany church being the officiating
clergyman.
Mr.. and Mrs. Emery left on the 20
express for Springfield, Mass, the bride
wearing handsome going-away gown of
dark blue broadcloth with hat to match.
The wedding trip continued to New York
and on to Washington, D. c., in which
city they will spend the winter, as the
groom has position at the House Of Rep
resentatives that keeps him at the capital
while Congress is in session.
In June they will return to Randolph
and occupy the house on Highland
avenue recently purchased by Mr.. Emery
of Prof. N. J. WhitehiIl.
The groom has been prominent citi-
zen of Bethel, taking an active interest in
town and state politics, and of late years
has been much at Washington in the dis
charge of official duties. The bride is of
that New England womanhood, honored
for the sterling qualities of character, and
is justly held in the highest esteem by all
who know her.
Thanksgiving Service.
None of the eighteen hundred or so cit
liens of this village forgot to partake of
as bountiful Thanksgiving dinner as linn
tied or unlimited circumstances would
permit, while about fifty of them remem-
bered that part of the proclamation which
referred TO as sembling themselves togeth-
er to render praise and thanksgiving to
Z he Of oil oil for 81
ings of the year and the fruits of the
harvest. However, since it would have
required only ten righteous men to save
the city of Sodonn, perhaps we may hope
that congregation of fifty will, in the
sight of Heaven, preserve us from the un-
gracious appearance of snatching our
bones without grateful lick to the hand
that feeds us.
The service was held in st. Johns
church at 0:30 last Thursday morning.
and the rector, Rev. E. n. Weber,
preached a sermon that commanded atten-
tion and was heard with unfeigned inter
est by everyone present. He spoke first
of the plenty this land enjoys in COMPARE
son with the horrors of famine being
suffered even now in other countries that
are burdened by armies and nayies to be
maintained on war footing. Our crop
reports West and East, North and South,
tell of bigger yields of grain than last
year, more bales of cotton, more food
stuffs of all kinds, bigger herds of cattle
and larger fiocks of sheep on hills ana
plains. This we have while others are
perishing from hunger. forced to devour
horse flesh and reduced sometimes to
picking over straw for a fresh blade of
grass that may yield drop of nourish-
ment.
But though country may have all ma
terial comforts, it may yet be in infinitely
worse condition than the nation scourged
by war and famine When people have
wandered out of the way of uprightness,
when they have gone after strange gods
and made to themselves golden images,
when men worthy of Office are few and
hard to find for the multitude of knaves
and tricksters; then war and famine that
destroy the body are less to be dreaded
than the fearful vices which kill the soul.

HARVARD TO RETAIN SPORT
UNDER SOME RESTRICTIONS

BOSTON, March 1.-THE long pend

be permitted 10 engage further in inter
collegiate sports was disposed Of last
night when the board of overseers OF
the college. accepting the recommenda-
tiOns Of a majority Of a special com

form.
This means that football and other
games will be continued at Harvard,
as the corporation of the university has
already accepted the report or the sub
committee.
The majority report reviewed athletic
conditions at the university. but the
committee thought, and the board OF
overseers agreed, that the number Of
