The Choir Singer"

"The Choir Singer" booked for Chand-
Ter Music hall Friday evening, Sept. 8,
tells the story OF young Virginia girl
OF aristoeratic ancestors who is forced
through the scheming OF New York
stock broker TO abandon her ancestral
home and go out into the world to earn
her living as public singer. This task
is made the easier for Alice Leighton,
the heroine, by the fact that she is the
possessor OF highly cultivated voice
hich has gained for her at her home the
sobriquet OF "The Virginian Nightin-
gale"
An interesting complication in the
heart story, which is conferred in the
heroine and the young parson OF the old
church in which Alice has for many years
led the choir, is most naturally brought
about through the jealousy of the par
sons elderly sister who, a spinster her
self, does not propose to allow any
other woman to take her place at the head
OF her brothers household. On her en-
forced departure from Virginia for New
York, Alice is led to believe that the
young curate has only been amusing
himself at her expense and IL is with a
heavy heart that she takes up the battle
OF life for which by her early training she
has been so little prepared.
In most ingenious and yet perfectly
natural way the author, Carroll Fleming,
who gave to the stage isis Hopkins" and
other successful plays OF the so-called
"rursln sort, brings his Virginia charac-
tiers to the metropolis, whereby in con-
trast with New York types, their hum
orous qualities are brought prominently
forward. A number Of convulsingly
funny situations thus logically ensue so
that those who like a large portion of
laughter combined with their dramatic
feasts are certain of having what they
want. The introduction Of the musical
numbers which is deity done is an espec-
tally pleasing feature to lovers of good
vocal selections, artistically rendered.

Ben Carpenter under Bonds.

Ben Carpenter, aged % years and son of
Albert Carpenter, was brought before
Justice III. W. Vail last Thursday morn
ing on the charge of having shot in the
pasture two cows-one belonging to d..
T. Dyer and the other to Joseph Silva.
1t developed at the hearing that Mr..
Dyer had eleven cows July 10 at his farm
on Thayer brook, where several men in
Guiding Carpenter were haying for him
in his absence. Part of the field, in
which the men were at work, was planted
to potatoes, one strip belonging to Albert
Carpenter, and that day, July 10, one Of
Overs cows and one of Silva's broke
through the fence into the Carpenter po-
tatoes. Ben Carpenter logged the in
truders out and resumed haying with an
angry threat to kill, shoot or "fix" the
cows.
At 6 D. m. the men left the hay field,
and all the cows were accounted for the
night of the 18th. After that night two
were missing, and on the 10th Mr.. Dyer
caused search of the pasture to be made
but the lost animals were not found.
The next day, Ben Carpenter went by an
unusual route from the barn to spring
after a pail of water and, returning, told
the other help that he had found one Of
the cows killed, though witnesses for the
state claimed that he could not have seen
the COW.
That night second search was insti-
tuted for the other missing creature
which Mr.. Silva discovered the next
morning in underbrush in Dyer's woods
and told Carpenter. The latter then took
some of the men with him and walked
straight to the carcass.
Both cows had been shot through the
heart with 1920 rifle ball and were the
same two that Carpenter had driven out
of the potatoes. Before being arrested,
he admitted to Mr.. Dyer that he went
back to the hay field the night OF the 18th
and saw one COW near the place where it
was afterwards found dead.
II was also ascertained that his father
had a rifle of about the size required for
the 5000 balls.
The young man was arrested on the
charge of maliciously killing the cows,
for which the penalty is not more than
five years in states prison or no more
than $500 fine, or both. AS result OF
the hearing, he was bound over to
county court in the sum of 5000, which
was furnished.
States Attorney Wilson prosecuted for
the state. and John j. wilson OF Bethel
was attorney for the respondent, who en-
tered deni al of the charges.

Death Of Mrs. Mary Blood.

Mrs. Mary j. (Banister) Blood entered
into rest Friday morning at the age Of rs
years, II months and days. During
the summer she had suffered recurring at
tacks OF the heart trouble which at last
proved fatal, but with Characteristic ener-
gy had refused to yield to weakness and
kept about until the last half day OF her
life. Then she consented to remain
quietly in bed, but the next morning
started to rise as usual and soon after ex-
pired.
Mrs. Blood was born in Tunbridge,
Sept. IS, 1928, and married first Norman
Greene Of East Randolph, who died six
weeks after the birth OF their son, Nor
man c. Greene OF this village. Bravely
she took up the burden Of life and cared
for her child, to reap in later years the
reward Of faithful ministrations from a
devoted son.
For her second husband, she married
Joel Blood Of Mortified and three chill
dren were born to them, two Of whom
died in infancy. OF this union survive a
son, William F. Blood of Randolph, and
a stepdaughter, Mrs. Z. ID. Barton Of
Montpelier, whose filial solicitude was a
source OF great comfort to the twice
widowed mother.
For nearly % years Mrs. Blood had
made her home with her son, n. c.
Greene, from whose house the funeral
was held at O'Clock Sunday afternoon,
Rev. Fraser Metzger OF Bethany church
officiating. The bearers were E. ID. Bar
ton and F. II. Tracy of Montpelier, A. B.
Hayward Of East Randolph and W. p.
Flint OF Randolph. Interment was in
Southview cemetery.
Those attending the funeral from away
were Mr.. and Mrs. E. ID. Barton, Mr.. and
Mrs. F. II. Tracy and two daughters,
Mrs. Henry lawson and Miss Mildred
Tracy of Montpelier; Mr.. and Mrs. A. B.
Hayward, Mr.. and Mrs. William Hay
ward Of East Randolph; Mr.. and Mrs. c.
c. Ordway of Tunbridge, Mrs. Roxana
Jones of Chelsea and Mrs. Ellen johnson
of Northfield.

A Robust Old Law.

Mrs. A. c. Lamb of Granville has
brought to the Herald Office a tattered
copy of the old New England Farmers
Almanac, published "for the year of the
Christian era, 1880, being the second
after bissextile, or leap year, and the
fifty-fourth of American independence. q"
SIT is" says the title page, gifted to the
latitude and longitude of the town of
Windsor, VT, but will serve without sem
sible variation for all the adjacent states. "
Besides the usual astronomical calcula-
tions and advice to farmers the little book
gives sample of the famous Connecticut
Blue Laws of which it seems pity that
the one quoted below was ever allowed to
lapse into innocuous desuetude:-
"For asmuch as it is observed that
many abuse are crept in and committed
by frequent taking Of tobacco
SIT is ordered by the authority of this
court that no person under the age OF Fl
years, nor any other that hath not al
ready accustomed himself to the use
thereof, shall take any tobacco until he
hath brought a certificate under the hands
of some who are approved for knowledge
and skill in physic, that it is useful for
him and also that he hath received a
license from the court for the same. And
for the regulating of those who, either by
their former taking it have, to their own
apprehensions, made it necessary to them,
or upon due advice are persuaded to the
use thereof
"It is ordered that no man within this
colony, after publication hereof, shall
take any tobacco publicly in the street,
highways, or any barn yards, or upon
training days, in any open places, under
penalty OF sixpence for each offense
against this order in any of the particu-
lars thereof, to be paid without gainsay
ing, upon conviction by the testimony of
one witness, that is without just excep-
ton, before any one magistrate. And
the constables in the several towns are
required to make presentment to each
particular court of such as they do un-
derstand and can convict to be trans
gressors Of this order"
Such a stiff-backed statute as this
makes the present feeble crusade against
promiscuous "expectorating" look more
spineless than ever.

MINERS FINED
FOR STRIKING

Linton, Ind, Aug. 1O.-Three dol
lars was deducted from the pay check
today of each of the 800 miners of
the Summit Coal company, making
a total fine of SIS for each man who
took part in a recent strike contrary
to the provision in the contract with
the state miners organization. The
strike lasted eight days and each
miner was assessed 81 a day, or a
total of S2,4OO, which goes into the
Golfers of the coal company. This is
the first time the contract was ever
enforced against striking miners.
The Summit mine was closed when
the men demanded the discharge of
the mine boss and the company re
fused to comply, all the miners walk
ed out. The agreement between the
miners and the operators provides
for : forfeiture in the way of a fine
for the parties who stop the mine in
case of labor trouble without first
the grievance to the reg
ular board of arbitration. The min
ers Jailed to observe this part of the
Q agreement and the coal company in
sisted on the 81 a day penalty, de
Quoting it from the pay checks.

DOWN IN WASHINGTON

Washington, Aug. 10.-What prac-
tically will be war fleet, although
composed of ancient hulks and de
relicts, will gather on Bois Blanc
Island in Lake Huron tomorrow for
a program of naval maneuvers and
activities to occupy one week. The
squadron will hardly be menace to
the peace of the world and is not
likely to give rise to war talk in Can
ada, since the ships mount no heavy
guns In all other respects, however,
the activities INDUCED in by the At
lantic fleet will be emulated.
Four sovereign states will be rep
resented in this remarkable fleet
gathered for the education of their
naval militia. Illinois will be repre-
sented by the Dorothea. Michigan by
the Yantic, Minnesota by the Gopher
and Ohio by the Hawk and the Essex
In addition, the ancient United States
gunboat Wolverine will be in attend
ance and Commander Henry Morrell
Will use 1t as flagship and direct
the maneuyers from its deck.
Although an existing treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain prohibits the presence of
warships on the great lakes, other
than those engaged in the revenue
cutter service, there Is a growing SEN
timent for trained naval force on
the shores of the unsalted seas. With
great waterway between the Allan
tic and the lakes such as is now pro-
jected, warships could easily ravish
the inland states If Uncle Sam and
John Bull should ever go to war.
While such a possibility is extremely
remote. the development of thor
oughly trained naval militia is be-
ing encouraged in every way possible
by the navy department.
The flagship Wolverine, which
heads the training fleet, was built in
1913. Upon her ancient decks are
mounted six siX-pounders, two one
Founders and a little Gatling gun.
No twelve-inch engines of destruc-
tion frown from her turrets, since she
has no turret 1t is from this yes
sci that the movements of the re
doubtable squadron will be super
vised.
Next in point of seniority comes
the Yantic, on which the Michigan
freshwater sailors will learn to de
fend their country. She was built
in 1864, at the Philadelphia yards.
and in teh records of the navy is set
down as unfit for service. The Yam
tic will do little toward keeping the
awake at night, since she hasn't
single gun. The Gopher, the proud
