A Words Birthday.

It is curious to see how new word extends our vocabulary. For instance, the discovery of photography has lsa to 234 words being added to the laa- guage. Dr. Murray fixes March ii, 1889, as the birthday of the word pho tography." It was on that day that Sir John Herschel used it in paper which he read before the Royal so- ciety. The new word took root in France. ard two or three months later when Argo made his report to the chamber of deputies concerning the pension of NJ. Daguerre he quoted photographic" as a generally accepted word

Attractive Store Fronts.

Since the invention of plate glass the outside appearance of shops and stores has been greatly improved. The first impression is important. Many persons are attracted to store by the tasteful arrangement of the show windows. Plate glass is now so cheap that it is in keneral use, and the merchant who ules to draw trade with the old fash lQped small pane windows, as some ghu do, is losing an opportunity. Next H Eood newspaper advertising, tasty show window brings business. There's nothing like putting on good front.

Douuias Jerrold's Wit.

Douglas Jerrold was on one occasion debating with a friend the respective merits of two contemporaries. The ar gument had been long, and, thinking to conclude it by compromise, the friend remarked:
 "Well, after all they both row in the same boat"
 But not with the same skulls" re- joined Jerrold.

UNDER THE GASLIGHT
Grand Production By the Waler- vile Thespian Club Last Night.

Several strangers who happened
 to be in Waterville last evening and
 who wondered how they would pass
 their time, followed the crowd to
 Goodwill hall. They paid their ad-
 mission like the others, but found that standing room only was their portion. They did not know just
 what they were going to see, but
 when they read on the programme that it was an amateur production of
 Under the GasHght," they were
 tempted to leave, as they had wit
 messed and suffered through many
 amateur productions in their own
 homes When the first scene opened,
 however, and they noted at the be-
 ginning the beautiful stage effects and then drank in the splendid elo- cution and stage work of the young ladies and gentlemen comprising the cast, they had no inclination to quit the hall, and they marveled at the acting of the young Watervile peo- pie and were loudest in applauding their work. They were outspoken in their commandation and argued with themselves that on more than one occasion lad they seen profess sional companies who could learn a few points from the cast that pre- sented the production last night. Weeks of careful and diligent work under the professional supervision of Jean Ingraham had worked wonders, and those wonders were lavishly dis f1.ib to bo 1oc night. Nothing better has ever been seen on the amateur stage in that village or in any other town or city. Everything was as smooth as clock work and the young ladies and gen. tlemen enacted their various roles just as if they rad been accustomed to histrionics all their lives. It would not be fair to mention one more than another. Suffice it to say they all did remarkably we'll. MT Ingraham himself, Thomas !. McMahon, William H. Davies, Louis E.. Tebeaudeaux, M. J. Devinea James A. Delaney, Fred J. Lachance. Robert Smithwich, the Misses Maud and Margaret Delaney and Miss Agnes Seery, completed cast of characters that drew from this old drama all its worth and embellished it in many ways
 The costumes of the play were good. The audience was entertained every moment, for between the acts the following we'll known entertain CTS appeared in various specialties: May E. Daly, Irene Keefe, Mrs M. c. Keefe, William J. Shannahan, w. Connors, Tennis La Valley, John Reed Boles and Charles Connors. he last four are known as the Union Square quartette. Their work was specially good. All who appeared in specialties had to respond to en- cores. The musical direction of the play was under the supervision of Catherine Carroll Bergen.
 The play will be presented again this evening and no doubt will be greeted with a full house on account of the excellence of the production.

MUST BE NO STRIKING.
Deadwood in National Guard Must
 Be Got Rid Of,

In an order issued yesterday from the adjutant generals office, an- nouncing that the order for the an- nual inspection of the state militia will probably be issued at an early date, appears the following sugges- tion as to getting rid of the deadwood in the Connecticut National Guard:
 It is noted that at past inspections, the question has been asked com pany commanders, by the Inspectors, as to how many men would report in case of trouble, and the reply given by some company commanders has been, 80 per cent, 85 per cent, 90 per cent, etc. This office does not under stand why such a reply Is given to this question. If 10 per cent, 15 per cent or 20 per cent of the men are not available when wanted, then their discharge should be immediate ly applied for. The equipping and training of a militiaman is somewhat expensive, and no money should be spent upon man who would not be available when needed. If company commanders have the interests of the service at heart, and it is presumed that they have, they will see that nc man is kept in the service who has no intention of being present when his service is required. It should nc be necessary to call attention to this subject; but the answer given by company commanders to inspecting officers prompts the reference. In many cases, undoubtedly, the answer, has been given under a misapprehen- sion, or misunderstanding yet, it does not seem possible that this is so, but to remedy it, company commanders are directed to make immediate and constant investigations, so that, all times, they will be able to say 100 per cent; that every man in their will respond for duty at duty's call, whatever the occasion may be.

 plain Is On Once More

Burlington. Vt., Novs 15.-The long standing dispute as to the right or seining and net fishing in Misqui bay at the northern extremity of Lake Champlain will soon become the occasion of conference between a vermont commission and Canadian off1cials and if not then disposed of may be referred to the federal govern ment. The commission recently ap- pointed by Governor Fletcher in the proctor to meet the Canadian officials In an endeavor to stop the fishing, is made up of N. w. Fiske of Isle La Motte, F. L. Fish of Vergennes and Il. G Thomas of Stowe. A similar commission from New York state, consisting of Fish and Game Commis- sloner James Whipple, Senator H. W Knapp and Ashman Mills of New fork, have been in Burlington this week to talk the matter over with the vermont commissioners. It is SUD- posed that some mutual suggestions were drawn up to submit to the Can ad1an authorities.

No Official Statement.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov 15.-In de- ference to the wishes of the patient himself, his parents and the attend ing physicians, no official statement was obtainable to-day regarding the condition of Harold s. Vanderbilt, Harvard student and son of William K. Vanderbilt of New York, who is ill with typhoid fever at the Still man infirmary. It was learned, how ever, that MT Vanderbilt's condition was satisfactory to the physicians who are attending him. It was stated to-day that no more informa- tion regarding the progress of the disease would be given out unless there should be serious change for the worse, a contingency unlocked for by the doctors.
