 Manner.

Eight hundred people crowded Ger mania Hall, Thursday evening to wit ness the three farces produced under the auspices of German Lutheran Trinity Church. Much praise is due the directors under whose lead the cast was trained for the smooth way in which the three playlets were run off, and for the efficient manner in which the amateurs acted their parts. Herman Trisch, assisted by Hermann Leschke, were the directors. and to them as well as the committee in charge is due the complete success obtained.
 Much skill was shown by the cast in executing the comedies, especially those given in German, where the players seemed particularly at home. In the English play first honors were taken by William F. Knoll, the cen tral character.
 If anything can be judged by the applause and laughter that greeted the performances, the entertainment was one that will be long remember ed, both for the finished character of the acting and the happy selection of the cast, Those taking part were: William F. Knoll, Alexander Tiram, Herman Leschke, August Brandt. William Dalquist Alfred Weise, Miss Helen Wartmann.

 oner Walter D. Makepeace to-day rem | dereed his finding in the awful trolley accident of week ago, in which five

 The coroner says: "The gaternan, however, failed to lower the gates un- til the train was about on the car. Conductor Dillon continued to give the signal to the inotorman to advance
 up to the moment when the car was actually struck. When Engineer Beau champ saw the car, he blew his whistle and made every effort to stop his train, but could not, and the car was struck and several persons killed and others injured"
 In closing the coroner finds that the motorfnan of the car, Charles Larned, used proper care, both prior to and after the time. he saw the en- Igine approaching, and that Leo Beau champ, the engineer of the train, also used due care and compiled with the rulees of the company, and that the company itself has compiled with all the orders of the state railroad com missioners.

ADVOCATE A PARCELS POST

Among the questions considered
at the meeting in Richmond ias'
week of the Presidential Post
masters Association, was the e.
Establishment of q parcels post. Ii
is said that President Roosevelt
favors the proposition, and that
high officials in the post office de-
partment are also advocates of the
innovation.
1t is we'll known that the great
est opposition to the establishment
of the parcels post Is found among
the express companies of the
country. They would be the
heaviest losers, for the reason that
many packages now sent by ex'
press would, should the parcels
post Re established, be sent by
that method of transportation.
The Investigations of Postmaster
General Meyer have led him to the
conclusion that another . soureot
opposition is found among country
merchants, who fear that cheap
transportation will be a still great
er indueement for people in the
rural districts to deal with large
mail order firms in the cities.
The Postmaster General comes
forward with a plan which pro-
yides for the establishment OF II
parcels post applying to rural free
delivery routes only, and limit
the weight Of the pack ges t
eleven pounds or under. The rate
OF postage recommended is . cents
for the first pound and 2 cents fol-
each additional pound. This
scheme would greatly benefit the
c3untry merchant and the II er.
chart of the town or city from
which radiate rural free delivery
routes, tut it would offer no relief
to people who receive their mai
by railway routes.
The agitation of the parcels
post question indicates that it Is
live question in the public mind
and its solution will no doubt
com in the near future. In the
meanwhile D. patient public can
ONLY submit with what grace they
may to the exOrtitant charges OF
the express com panIes.
