his wounds by the usual bunch of

back to Andover on the special train
and with the members of three bands
helped to make up a small audience.

manner he fell from one of the windows
in the lumber shed, alighting on his
head and shoulders on the cement walk.
When he was picked up blood was flow
ing from his nose and ears. Doctors
Peabody were summoned and took the
case in charge. The patient was taken
to the home of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Hit, aud while he is still in
a serious condition there has beer such
marked improvement in the past
couple of days that hopes are enter

recovery.
The Mer, hant of Venice, up-to- date
as rendered by the students of Webster
high school at the opera house Friday
night was a complete success in every
sense of the word. A large audience
assembled, to which the presenta
ton gave unusual satisfaction. The cast
was strong and each member showed by
their efforts a splendid conception of the
part assigned them, and the perfect
manner of rendition showed an amount
of careful, painstaking study which
reflects credit alike Oh the actors and
their instructors. The scenic effects
were good and individual make up per
feet. The Imperial orchestra outdid
themselves in their musical selections
for the evening. We have heard none
but the most favorable comment on the
entertainment. Prof. Helberg, princi
pal of the high school, requests us Oh
behalf of himself and the school to thank
the citizens generally for the kindly
interest taken as demonstrated by theil
presence, and especially the orchestra
for the elegant music rendered on the
occasion.

Washington, Feb. 3.-George M. Wallace, of New Haven, who was the democratic candidate for member of congress from the Second district last election, is in Washington, and was seen to-day at the Willard MT. Wal lace said that he came to this city purely on a pleasure trip. My visit has no political significance whatever" he said. T am tired out, and ran down for few days simply to get away from things. l am not particu- larly interested in any legislation now before congress, nor can l tell you any thing about the political situation in Connecticut. I am, however, looking forward to being a candidate for con gress again this fall on the democratic ticket"

HITCHCOCK TO GET DELAY
Trial of Comic Opera Star Means Loss
 of S60, 900 to Manager.

New York, Feb t.-It is probable that the trial of Raymond w Hitch cock, the comic opera star, n serious charges preferred against him by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, may be postponal until the latter part of this month. It had been taken for granted that the Hitchcock case would be called Immediately after the completion of the Thaw trial.
 In an application for more time, John F. Mcintyre, counsel for the Savage theatrical interests, said that to with draw the actor from the stage at the present time would mean a loss of s60000 or more to his manager and work great hardship to the members of his company.
 District Attorney Jerome. when ask cd what he thought of the application for delay replied In some cases m innocent third party may suffer mora by delay or failure 10 secure delay than the defendant who is to be tried, In this case, Mr. Savage Is the innocent third party, and, as I understand 1t, he would suffer a material financial loss if the case was tried immediately. The innocent members of the Hitchcock company would also suffer. Under those circu instances I am inclined to believe that an application for reas- onable delay should be considered fa- vorably."

L0ST-33O DEP0SITORS
Owners of $7O0,0O0 of Knickerbocker
 Accounts Cannot be Found.

New York, Feb. Notwithstanding the efforts of post office department au- thorities and a force of sixty canvas sers employed by the reorganization committee. three hundred and tlil ty depositors of the suspended Knickcr- booker Trust company, with deposits aggregating from s7O0,0Oo, cannot be found. The assents of these missing depositors arc needed to make cffe tive the plan for reorganization of the insti- tuition.
 Some of the missing deposltors gave incorrect addresses, either purp)sely or accidentally when they opened their accounts. some gave no addresses at all and others have moved so many times since they first began dealing with the company that all traco ot their present whereabouts have been lost.
 In speaking of them today Herbert Satterlee, counsel for the r.oreaniza- ton committee, said; We have uis- covered vacant lots. stao'es, stone yards and other enterprises at fmc of the addresses on the company's books. It Is difficult to say what vil become of this money if the owners are not found"

WOMEN MAY NOW SMOKE
Mayor Mcclellan Vctocs Ordinance
 Passed by Aldermen.

New York, Feb S.-The ordinance recently passed by the board of alder men forbidding women from smoking in public places was vetoed to-day by Mayor Mcclellan. The mayor holds that the aldermen have no power to make such law. The ordinance was designed to make proprietors of ho- tels, restaurants and other places lia- ble to fines for permitting their women guests to smoke. Mayor Mcclellan says in his veto;
 "I know of no provision of law which gives the board of aldermen the power to enact an ordinance of this kind. While the conduct of individu- als or of the owners of private prop erty can be regulated by legislation, to a certain extent, for the protection of the public morals, health or safety, l do not believe that this general power which is technically known as the po- lice power of government, can be in- voked to sustain an ordinance of this kind"

 Counsel for the railroad asked the court to pass the matter until a ruling could be had in the case against the Great Northern railroad now pending before the supreme court of the Unit ed States In that case,' ,'they said 1t was contended that the passage of the Hepburn act repealed the Elkins law under which the indictment had been found, and therefore granted immuni- ty to the defendants.

BOARDS TO ORGANIZE
Kelly or Maxwell Will be President of
 Police Commission.

The police commissioners and the fire commissioners will meet tonight for the first time this fiscal year and Will organize for lLe next twelve months There will be but one new member to the fire board, Thomas c. Bracken of ls9 Atwater street, who succeeds John Il. Pearce, the president of the board for the past year. Who will be presi- dent of the fire board is a question, as there have been democratic presidents under republican administrations and vice versa. Of the present board, Jo- seph s. Cunningham and Charles L. Well have both been presidents and Thomas N Gierdlng and Joseph Kegel- meyer have each declined to serve in the past. There is a possibility that one of the former presidents will be chosen Tor the coming year.
 l.. M. Ullman and Daniel Kelly are the only veteran members of the police board remaining. Commissioner Smith was appointed to fill the vacancy caus- ed by the death of s. s. Thompson, Commissioners Dean and Maxwell were appointed by Mayor Martin to succeed Joseph Kelly and Manning and Con- missioner Fertman was appointed by MT. Martin to fill the vacancy caused by the removal of Commissioner Sulli- van. Should there be a tie in voting between the republicans and democrats on the board, Mayor Martin will dis solve it in favor of the latter It is generally believed that Mir. Kelly or MT. Maxwell will be president of the board.

THE "JocKER- IN SAVANNAH.

A special meeting of the city coun- ell of Savannah was held last Friday for the purpose of dealing with the l ouor situation in that town. An ordin ance was considered giving the may or the power to regulate the "locker" clubs in Savannah through the police court. The mayor has asked for the power to revoke the city licenses to every club that is convicted of vio- lat,ne the prohibition law, and to make 1t impossible to organize club under a new name In the same local ity after the license of the club has been revoked He would also have 2 committee of council to pass upon the applications for locker" club fl censes before they are granted. What the mayor desires is the full enforce ment of the prohibition law. He would not only have the rights of the clubs fully defined by ordinance, but he would have the number of clubs that shall be permitted to operate in the city limited The mayor would also drive out the blind tigers.
 We assume that the mayor will he given the authority he desires, Savan- nah being a very law abiding com munity. But It is as certain as any thing can be that prohibition will not prohibit in Savannah. A community that is we'll equipped with locker" clubs can hardly be regarded as a community wholly devoted to the pro hibition cause. We do not believe that in a town situated as Savannah Is it gill be possible to enforce any stringent regulations for the sale of intoxicating beverages The inten- tions of the mayor appear to be en- tirely good, and we have no doubt that he will be fully sustained in the exercise of his official duties by the members of his council, but it is not within human nature to expect that a people who have been accustomed to the use of spirituous liquors can he wholly reformed on the instant by leg islative action Charleston News and Courier

BABY GIRL CRIED
 AND SCRATCHED
All the Time Torturing Eczema Covered Her Body-CouId Not Sleep Doctor Said Sores Would
 Last for Years--Skin Now Clear.
CURED IN THREE MONTHS
 BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

T take grent pleasure in telling you what q great help it was for me to use Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for my baby niece. She was suffering from that terrible torture, eczema. It. was all over her body but the worst was on her face and hands. Her hands were 60 bad that she could not hold anything. She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. I had her under the doc tors care for year and half and he seemed to do her no good. l took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was siI years old. But if I had de pended on the doctor my baby would have lost her mind and died from the want of aid.
 "I used all the remedies that every body told me about and tortured the child almost to death. Then I saw in the paper how Cuticura was the thing for irritating skin. 1 bathed her with warm water and Cuticura Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured in three months. Now her skin is as clear and smooth as it could be. shall recommend the use of Cuticura wherever see the skin in bad condition. Alice L. Dowell, 4769 Easton Ave, St. Louis. Mo, May and 20, 1907"
