RICHARD GOLDEN
In The Poor Devil Makes Hit at the
Auditorium.

A small audience greeted Richard
Golden and his most excellent company
of PLAYERS at the auditorium last
evening. The actors, not at all dis
couraged by the empty seats, put
such life and intelligence into their
work that from the start to the finish
there was not an uninteresting line or
gesture. One more success has been
added to the long list of attractions
that have visited Manager Fox's play
house under the management of the
Shuberts.
The Poor Devil is a new play by the
authors of Erminie, and its very in
genious comedy is based on the anus
ing. but pathetic error of Daniel Hake,
inventor, that to save his daughter, he
has sold himself to the devil-like
Faust. Richard Golden as Daniel Hake
is irresistible, and almost as natural in
his stage manner as ever Joe Jeffer-
son was. OF the supporting company
it is hardly possible to choose the
best as every part was appropriately
cast and acted in thoroughly capable
stvle. At the close of the second act
Mr.. Golden was compelled to speak
a few words to the appreciative audi.
ence. which he did with good taste. If
he comes to Brattleboro next season
he will be sure of full house, and
here S hoping he'll come.

coNsTITuTIoNALITy DOUBTED
Boston & Maine to Test Law Giving
Telephone Companies Equal Privileges.

Among the several acts of the legis.
lature of 1906, the constitutionality OF
which are questioned, is Act No. 124,
which provides that railroad compa'
nies, except street railroad companies,
doing business in this state shall
grant equal privileges to all telephone
companies in the state, having not
less than 500 telephone connections,
for installing telephone instruments
in the railroad stations. Not long ago
the Peoples Telephone company OF
Orleans county, having about 1000
subscribers, applied to the Boston q
Maine Railroad company for the priv
ilege of installing an instrument in
the station at Barton Landing. The
request was refused.
The railroad company claims that 1t
has an exclusive contract with the
New England Telephone & Telegraph
company, made before the passage OF
the act, and that the act impairs the
obligation of that contract. The rail-
road company further claims that the
act requires it to devote its property
to another use than that required in
its charter and is therefore unconstitu-
tiOnal.

Mrs. Tyler was born in Putney Aug.
90, 1917, and lived in that town until
1888 when her parents moved to Brat
tleboro which had since been her home
with the exception Of two years after
her marriage when she lived in New
fame. She was educated in the pub
lie schools here and at private
school in Hudson, n. Y, being obliged
to make the trip from here to Hudson
and return by stage. She was married
to Royal Tyler April 30, ls4O, and the
couple celebrated their golden we'd
ding anniversary in 1890. Mr.. Tyler
was for many years clerk of Wind
ham county and judge of the probate
court of the Marlboro district. He
died Oct. 27, 1896. Mrs. Tyler is sur.
vived by one daughter, Mrs. G. w.

Up to the beginning of her last i'll
ness Mrs. Tyler kept her mental fac
ulties to remarkable extent for a
woman of her years Her mind was
alert and she kept in touch with cur
rent events by wide reading of maya
zines and newspapers. Her reliable
memory enabled her to keep in mind
many interesting incidents in connee'

century ago and she enjoyed telling
stories of these times to her friends.

her cheerful disposition gave her op.

MARY MANNERING.
She Will Appear Here After All in
Glorious Betsy June IA.

No attraction presented in Brattle'
boro this season has provoked so much
comment as the coming of Mary Man
nering in her new play, Glorious Bet
sy. to the auditorium Friday, June IA
Miss Mannering was booked to appear
here early in the season but was
obliged to cancel her engagement on
account of illness. This new play has
for its central figure that radiant belle
of Yesterday, Betsy Patterson, whose
beauty and ambition made for her one
of the most remarkable careers ever
attained by an American woman. From
the position of a Baltimore belle,
whose wit, pride and rather daring
independence made her the admirlng
comment of all fashionable society in
America. she sprang suddenly into in
ternational notice by her marriage
with Jerome Bonaparte, the brother
of Napoleon, just at the time when
he was proclaimed emperor of the
French.
In writing Glorious Betsy its author
does not 90 into the darker side of
Betsy's life, but deals with those days
when her name was the toast OF ev-
cry gathering of note from Baltimore
to New Orleans. 1t takes us back to
the old Sweet Springs of Virginia,
when that resort was the gathering
place for the best in wealth and cul-
ture and beauty of which America
could boast 1t is at the springs that
Betsy frsts meets Catain Bonaparte
who. weary of the endless round of
entertainment and adulation he had
received as the guest of the American
nation. has Travelled to this out of the
wav resort incognito and for whatever
romantic adventures might appeal to
a youth of nineteen, full of high spir-
its and away from restraint, Jerome
becomes infatuated with the reignlng
belle, Betsy Patterson, and manages
to have himself employed during her
stay there to give her lessons IN
French. Betsy becomes intensely in
terested in her tutor, but her pride
and ambition fights against acknowl-
edging that she could love a man IN
such an inferior position.
She coquettes with him, however, as
she does with half dozen Others. Bet
sy leaves the Springs ignorant OF Je'
rome's true personality, deeply Of
Tended with him because of his re-
fusal to accompany her party to Bal
timore, where great preparations are
being made for the reception OF zap
tain Bonaparte 1t is here at an elap-
crate fete given in his honor that
Betsy first discovers that her tutor
and the much talked of brother OF
Napoleon are one. Previous to TINS
discovery, her pride overcome by the
ardent wooing of her supposed tutor,
Betsy has confessed her love for him:
They are betrothed and the rest OF
the play deals with the efforts OF Ma
poleon s agents to prevent their mar
riage. their fruitless voyage to France,
where Napoleon refused to allow Bet
sy to land and the final happy triumph
Of the lovers.

boat, to carry a line across the river
at point about 100 feet above the
lower falls at Wilder, in order to
swing a cable across the stream. For
some unknown reason the boat
swerved around, and was caught IN
the rapids. The boat was capslzed,
throwing the occupants into the
swiftly flowing stream. The men wore
heavy clothing and shoes and after
struggling for a few, minutes in the
cold water two of them sank. inc
Italian showed rare presence OF mlnu
and great endurance and was able TO
swim to shore. Removing his outer
clothing he plunged again into the
stream in an effort to rescue his com
panions but was unable to find them:
The bravery of the Italian aroused
great admiration. O'Meara was
