De VONDE HAS
Them GOING
PATRONS OF THE GRAND LOUD
IN PRAISE OF FINE WORK
LAST NIGHT.

II the reception accorded to the
Chester De vonde Stock Company at
the Grand last night be any criterion,
then 1t may be said that this popular
aggregation OF players has Captured
the town" Not since the Grand has
been built have Fairmont theater.goers
! enjoyed a treat in the line of repe..
/ toire comparable to the first presen.
tation ut the local playhouse last night
by this admirable company. Fairmont
audiences are critical. They are quite
capable Of discriminating between the
good, the bad. and the mediocre in
the fine OF theatrical performances.
Any one who attended the Grand Inst
night--that is to say. any one who
knows anything about the quality OF
the audiences that gather therc-must
have reached the conclusion that. for
the first time, stock company, play
ing repertoire, is capable OF enter
tanning EairmOnt people In manner
that leaves nothing to be desired.
This is not intended as flattery, nor
is il: It Is merely n tribute to first
class company OF actors and actresses
that deserve unusual commentator
for most excellent work.
While tho Chester Dc Vondc Stock
Company has geographically, played
""aIl round" Fairmont, this is thel;'
FIRST cppearance In this city, and there
IRE not few OF our people who hope
that this will not be their last. JudS-

them welcome last night, 1t will not.

Women Who Wear Wen.

1t Is astonishing how great change a
few years OF married lie often mako In
tho appearance and disposition OF many
women. Tho freshness, the charm, the
hrilllanco vanish like tho bloom from d
peach which IS rudely handled. The
matTon is only q dim shadow, faint echo
OF tho charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
tho shock to tho system through tho
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with

SCHOOLS IN PORTO RICO,
Some Peculiar Conditions and Diff
 entities.

Caste feeling, with the fact that it is considered beneath the dignity of an illustrado to carry a bundle or even his books, has made industrial and agricultural training difficult. but the more necessary. Some parents object to thir children grubbing in the dirt and working with tools like peons. Nevertheless school gardens have become popular The children have individual gardens which they plant as they choose, and sell the pro- ducts if they like. In the rural school districts the little truck patch is regarded as offering valuable les sons to parents.
 The agricultural school at Rio Pie dras is carried on with reference to the needs of the island. There is A nursery of young orange. pineapple, and banana plants. Experiments with fertilizers are practiced For ex- ample. there will be twelve rows of sugar cane, three without fertilizers and three each with different sorts ol fertilizers. How to bud an orange tree is a subject given to the prac- tice children. after they have had the necessary instruction. The products of the gardens are sold for the better of the school In the ap- ricultural school at Bayamon the girls have an ornamental flower garden of great beauty, for which they had to carry water a long distance to irri- gate it-"-FrOm letter to the Even- ing Post.

Danbury. Nov. l6.-The tearing away of the White street bridge has brought to light a situation which several of the property owners along White street declare is unlawful. The point in question is the fact that now that the old bridge is down it discIoses the existence Of a stone wall on the east side of the river which extends fifteen feet into the water. thus cut- ting of that much Of the rivers nat ural bed.
 This wall is used as the foundation for a eObbler's shop which has stood upon that spot for years It is th, contention of Charles McAIIfzter and others on the west side of the river that this wall in cutting OT so much Of the river bed acts ss a dam during the freshets and causes the water tc set back. filling their cellars. Mr Me AiIister points out that only during the Past twelve years has he been troubled wi1h water and though he could never before find the cause he feels that the discovery of the rositfou Of the wall is the natural s0Irffon

A conference is to be held in De- cember between the executive con- mittee of the National Guard asso- citation and the first division of the army general staff. By reason of the joint maneuvers between the army and the National Guard, the increased appropriation for the Guard and cooperation in rifle prac- tice, the army and the Guard have been drawn very closely together within the past few years. At the coming conference a number of i'm portant subjects will be taken up, including the question of the con forming of the militia to the organ izatiOn of the army. Following the conference meeting of the Nation al Guard association will be held in Boston in January to be followed by q meeting Ot tho national board for the promotion of rifle practice in in the same month.

SAMPLES RAPID GROWTH.

Seattle is gaining in population at
 the rate of five thousand a month This fact has been indisputably es- tablished by statistics gathered by Ole Hanson, real estate dealer in the New York block, who has accumul-
 ated figures to prove his statement
 beyond the shadow of a doubt. Many claims have been made for
 the advancement of Seattle from the
 point of monthly gain in population,
 but heretofore all assertions have
 been based upon statistics gathered
 from official census reports, which cannot at all times be credited when it comes to accuracy. Hanson's statement is based upon actual totals obtained from eight months arrivals by steamboat, train and other means of travel. to which have been added the records of births. From :his total has been substracted the actual number of persons who have left the city and those who died in the eight months. This method gives the. exact number re- in the city.
 According to figures obtained from the officials at the King street sta- tion. 474,370 persons arrived in Seattle from January l. 1907, to August 30, 1907. By boat 571,sS7 persons landed in the city. The records of the health office show that 1.S45 children were born during that time. This gives a grand total of 1,0f7. .9O2 persons to be added to the population of the city.
 The departures by train during the eight months amounted to 43O.- PAS and those ty boat were 1927. This gives a total of 1.0Os.s7s to be deducted from the arrivals, leaving a balance of 3s,Oz3 persons that have remained in the city during the eight months This does not take into account the children who ar rived and departed by train and boat As the remainder of those re- maining is SO great. 1t can safely be assumed that at least 5 per cent can be added to the total of the re mainder-
 4 summary of these figures gives an average of more than five thou sand persons a month who have re- nzFned in the city and helped to well the population of greater Tines

South Wales depends more on tn

South Wales depends more on the
 coal trade than on any other line of
 business, and he present great de-
 mand for this commodity giyCs a
 healthy tone to it's business in gen eral. The coal shipped from the Welsh ports, foreign and coastwise, in the first six months of the year, reached the great total of 14,S23,- 530 tons, being an increase of l. 005,14 tons in excess of the figures for the corresponding period of
 1906, the previous best half year in tHe history of the trade in this dis lrICt. An increase of nearly per cent shows the lively condition of the market, and as yet there are no signs of abatement in the demand. I he value of large coal is nearly 61 cents per ton more than at the be- ginning of Jannary. In the early part of February as much as $4.SG per ton was paid, while $4.9S per ton is now being asked for forward shipment. Small coals are now about 12 cents above January prices. In June all miners working in the coal fields received an increase in their wages of 114 per cent. This and a fairly steady work seems to be we'll appreciated by them.

READY WHEN NEEDED.
Circular Issued to the Comnany Con-
 manders of the c. N. G.

The following circular has bee nis-
 sued by Adjutant General George NJ. Cole to the company commanders of
 tic Connecticut national guard:
 STATE OF CONNECTICUT The Adjutant Generals Office, Hartford, November 13, 1907. Circular No 1.
 The order for the inspection of the
 organized militia of this state will, in all probability, be issued of all
 early date.
 The attention of company com- manders. and others, is directed TO
 the importance of having their uni
 forms. arms and field equipment, ill.,
 cluding field ranges and cooking uten-
 sils, in perfect order.
 It was expected that the olive
 drab uniform would be issued ill
 time for this inspection, as arrange
 ments have been made for it's issue
 but at the present moment, it seems yet received at the arsenal The
 inspection. therefore, will be in the khaki uniform.
 It is noted that at past inspections, the question has been asked company commanders. ny the inspectors, as to how many men would report iit case of trouble. and the reply given ny some company commanders has been. eighty per cent. eighty-five per cent. ninety per cent. etc. This office does not understand why such reply is given to this question. If ten per cent. fifteen per cent. or twenty per cent of the men are not available when wanted then their
 discharge should be immediately ap- piled for. The equipping and train-- ing of a militiaman is somewhat ex- pensive. and no money should he spent upon q man who would not bc available when needed. If company commanders have the interest of the service at heart. and it is presumed that they have. they will see that no man is kept in the service who has no intention of being present when 1 his service Is required. It should l not be necessary to call attention to 1 this subject. but the answer given l by company commanders to inspect ! ing officers prompts the reference. 1 Tn many eases. undoubtedly. the ! answer has been given under a mis- 1 Or misunderstanding. ] ' ct. it does not seem possible that this 1 is so: but tO remedy it. company com- l manders are directed to make imme- ] diate and constant investigatiOnS.
