Joy few days rest from business

"PETER PAN" PROVES MOST
SUCCESSFUL.
REVIVAL OF AMATEUR PRopUc-
TIoN DRAWS TWO ENTHu-
SIASTIc AUDIENCES.
Parts Well Filled And A Fine Sum
Will Be Turned Into The Church
EnnA


Perhaps the most successful and
carefully planned amateur theatrical
entertainment ever seen at Chebeague
was given last Friday and Saturday
evenings, when Peter Pan" was pre-
sented by cast Of young summer Wis
itors. The company was practically
the same as gave the playette last
season, but this years production was
much improved by the addition of sew
eral dances and the accompaniment of
the songs, Miss Alice Perkins playing
the piano, Lightly Soiled and Curly,
executed a pleasing heel and toe
dance, Hook did the hornpipe and
Peter added the shadow-dance.
Great credit is due to Mr..
Walter Rogers Of Dorchester. who had
the coaching Of the cast in charge, and
to Mr.. Ralph Raymond Of New York,
who assisted in arranging the we'll
executed stage effects.
The principal roles were admirably
held, Peter Pan and Wendy showing
much improvement in their acting.
However, all the parts were we'll taken
and to every member of the company
is due much credit for the success of
the playette. The younger members
of the audience seemed especially in
terested in Hook, the ferrocious pirate
chief and his band of wicked followers.
Lieutenant Since was extremely clever
in his gestures and carriage.
Much amusement was also afforded by
the antics of Mana, the canine nurse.
and the extremely natural acting of lit
tie Michael.
The singing of several solos be.
tween the acts by Miss Isabel West
and Mrs. Ralph Raymond of New
York, made the intermissions pleas.
ant, while Mr.. A. G. Robbins assist
ed between the scenes with several
phonograph selections. The affair
proved most successful financially. the
hall being crowded both evenings.
Several large parties from one of the
neighboring islands were present at
the final production.
The committee in charge of the en-
tertainment are very grateful to Mr..
Charles Hamilton for the use OF Hill
Crest Hall: to Mr.. Alfred E. Hamil-
ton. Mr.. Lincoln Hamilton and Mr..
Weber, who kindly loaned furniture.
and to their many friends through
whose aid the affair was made a grand
success.

JOHN WOR11 KERN

The democratic nominee for vice-pres-
ident is comparatively a new man in
national politics, although, prominent
in Indiana, his home state That he is
honored and respected, by those who
know him best is evidenced by the fact
that the people of Indianapolis, his home,
are preparing grand reception for him
on his return from the Denver conven-
ton. Vice-President Fairbanks will de-
liver the address of welcome. 49,.
Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter, re-
publican. the man who placed Fair
banks in nomination at Chicago, in
speaking of Mr.. Kern said:
tJohn w. Kern will not be a load for
Bryan. He will help carry the load. In
1904 he ran ahead of Parker in Indiana,
while the republican candidate for gov
ernor ran 5000 votes behind President
Roosevelt. believe that Kern is 5000
or 10, 900 stronger than his ticket. He's
just the finest fellow know. 1t is
gratifying to see man like Kern with
out money nominated for this Office, be.
cause of his ability and not because of
his money"
Such words as these from q neighbor
and political opponent will have far
more weight with the American people
than all the venom the Hearst news
papers can crowd into their columns.

HOW OUR NATIONAL BUDGET IS

record for voting public money, and
the executive and the administrative
authorities are dutifully certain to
score II new world record in spending
the unprecedented total. This annual
chapter in budgets reads large in every

NEW PASTOR CALLED
Rev. E. L. Wismer, of North Branford, to Come to 
 Davenport.
IN YALE SENIOR CLASS
Several Years of Work in Ministry by Newly-Selected Min
 ister.

At meeting of the members of Davenport Congregational church last night, it was voted to extend a call to Ernest Lionel Wismer, for the past two years pastor of the Congregation al church In North Branford to be- come pastor of the church to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation this spring of the Rev. Jason Noble Pierce. Mir. Wlsmer, who was the candidate selected by the committee which had charge of picking a suita- ble candidate, is a member of the senior class in the Academic depart ment at Yale this year and has his de- gree of bachelor of Divinity from the Bangor theological seminary in Ban gor, Maine. He is a native of Toron- to, Canada, and has been in minister ial work for several years in the west. Like the Rev. MT. Pierce, the former pastor of the church, Rev. Mir Wis mer is called to Davenport church at the conclusion of his academic course at Yale, after having charge of a suburban church for a couple of years during his course in college.
 The formal notification to the new pastor will be sent in few days and the committee feel confident that he will accept the call. It Is likely that he will be asked to take up his new duties here as soon as possible. The pulpit of the church has been oecu- pied for several weeks past by the Rev. Dr. l. C. Meserve, former pas- tor who is here on a visit and who will leave here on June 20 for Europe. That will leave him but one more Sunday to otfciate.
 The church of which Rev. MT. Wis mer has had charge in North Bran- ford Is the one which was destroyed by a fire few months ago. The building was one of the oldest in this vicinity and was considered an hls- toric landmark Energetic efforts have been made for rebuilding and a l fund about sufficient for that purpose 1 has already been raised. Mir. Wis., mers efforts have contributed great deal to the success of the church and | to the recovery from the serious blow the fire gave to the organization
 The candidate presented was ac. cepted by the church last night unan. imously.
