Youthful Dramatists.

The drama, New Hampshire Gold, y
the scene of which is laid among the
mountains of our neighboring state,
from which the piece takes its title,
was given by the students of the
Academy Grammar school, grades
VIII and TX, in Grange Hall, Fri
day evening of last week. The young
actors, from twelve TO seventeen
years of age, had been rehearsing for
the preceding seven weeks, under
the instruction of Miss Edna Corn
forth, one of their teachers, and John
Mcllwrath, one of Skowhegan's
amateur dramatists None of them
had previously taken part in an
entertainment of a theatrical nature,
but lack OF experience was nowhere
apparent in the portrayal of their
several roles. The audience was of
course thoroughly friendly one, but
had they been disposed to De critical
they would have seen very little
reason for it. Hearty and frequent
applause demonstrated the extent to
which they were enjoying the pro-
ductlon. Music for the evening was
furnished by the SkoWhegan High
School orchestra, Lindsay Nutting
leader. The affair was literally
patronized and the net proceeds were
not far from SO

We have heard of a Piseataquis
County citizen who said he was op-
posed TO MIR. Haines because he Mr..
Haines favors license. Il must be
admitted, however, that the liquor
men are pretty good judges of who
they want TO administer the law and
in this connection it is an interesting
fact that the ward in one of our cities
where the liquor squad does the most
of its work is opposed to Mr.. Haines,
which does not indicate that he is in
favor of license.

GOVERNOR HUGHES MESSAGE
New YOrk's Executive Aims Death
Blow at Race Tracks.
Urges Legislature to Make Betting
Within the Enclosure Felony Pun-
ishable Only by Imprisonment.

Albany, n Yin his annual mes
sage to the Legislature, transmitted,
Governor Hughes recommends:
First-That it be made a felony to
gamble inside of race track as well
as on the outside, and that offenders
be punished by Imprisonment, with
no alternative of fines.
Second THAT the scope of the
Public Service Commission be en-
larged so as to include the regulation
and supervision of all telephone and
telegraph companies after October /
next
Third-That the banking laws be
revised SO as to require an adequate
reserve fund on the part of trust
companies and along the lines of the
recent recommendations of the Hep
burn Banking Commission
Fourth-That no changes should
be made In the reform insurance laws
unless they are clearly shown to be
needed to conserve the interests of
the policy holders
Fifth-That the debt limit Of New
York City should be enlarged by ex-
GLIDING all bonds issued for purposes
which produce revenues in excess of
their maintenance charges. This he
urges to enable the city to get funds
for the construction of imperatively
needed additional subways.
Sixth-That a simplified election
ballot should be provided, without
the party column, and the names Of
candidates to appear but once under
the names of the offices to which they
aspire.
Seventh-That the need for pri-
mary elections reform be recognized
by making provision for an official
primary ballot.
He also makes number of minor
recommendations as follows:

To prevent other States from
sending tuberculous cattle into New
York.
To abolish the Quarantine Commits
sioners and vest the Health Officer of
the Port with all their duties and au-
thority.
To reduce the number of Port War
dens from nine to five.
To readjust the salaries of Su-
preme Court Justices and do away
with allowances in lieu of expenses.
To make adequate preparation for

anniversaries of the discoveries of
Lake Champlain and the Hudson
River.

Girls French Dress.

The French, or Ions WASTED, dress
is always becoming to the younger
girls, and is SO pretty and graceful
that it is a very general favorite.
This one can be made adapted to
party and dancing school wear or to
everyday use as one material or an
other is chosen and as one trimming
or another is used. As illustrated
the frock is dressy one made with
short sleeves and the material is fine
white lawn with trimming of em-
broidery, but in the back view IT Is
shown made from bright red yelling
with frills of ribbon and becomes a
very much more durable, everyday
garment. For the more dressy frocks
white is always charming, and the
younger children wear washable ma
terials at all seasons, but for the
slightly older girls cashmere or veil
ing in such colors as pale blue and
pink are much to be commended with
the trimming of ribbon and the yoke
Of some pretty lingerie material or a
simple lace or embroidered net. For
everyday wear dark colored CASH
