=. Story of Western Life PRETTY Told.

q. story OF Western Lite Prettily Told.
AT the Odeon, Saturday, matinee and
right, there are some very good actors
concerned in the telling of an Indian
story, which goes by the title of
"As Told in the Hills" The play
leans to the western drama, and is
commendable in many ways. For one
thing it's characters are human. For
another thing, it's Indians are not car
features of the people of that race, but
are educated and intelligent, and hold
heir own with the other people in the
play, forming in fact, it's principle
characters. Dorothy Grey has an agree
able voice and plays the role of the
Indian girl "Pamnena," with fine intel
igence; her makeup was clever. The
other characters are fully up to the
standard, the stage settings are very
effective

CHILDREN on TRACK.

Engineer York, OF the local train
on the Amboy division of the Staten
Island Rapid Transit railroad that is
due at the local depot here at 3
o'clock, was forced to blow his whis-
tie twice yesterday afternoon for sev-
eral school children that were coln-
ing down from school along the
tracks toward Amboy avenue. Com
plants have been made from time to
time and the children have been
warned not to do,it and unless some
one takes some action serious acct
dent will be the result sooner or Int
er. AS this is the nearest way from
the school to the depot and the lower
part of the town, it is used more than
Amboy avenue. Just at that point
where the children start to walk on
the track is quite a grade. The least
misstep and one should fall, the en-
gineer would not have time to bring
his locomotive to stop and they
would be ground to pieces under the
train,

For FIRE DRILL.

The NEWS correspondent is in re-
ceipt Of the following from a citizen
of the borough:
Roosevelt, N. j., Mar. 26, 1907.
Dear Sir
l should like the attention of the
borough authorities to be drawn to
the lack of discipline in our schools
particularly in the matter of fire
drills. No privislon is made by the
board to have the children properly
drilled in case of fire. The recent
fires in New York and elsewhere
seem to me to augment the exped-
iency of some action to be taken by
the school authorities. The Board
of Education should investigate the
matter and as speedily as possible
adopt measures to have the children
trained in case of fire.
Yours respectfully,
A MOTHER.
