County Court News.

Judge Alfred A. Hall of st. Albans came
to Brattleboro Tuesday morning to hold a
session OF chancery court. As soon as he
had listened to the petition of r. G. Ba-
con for an injunction against the Connec-
ticut River Power company and made the
order in the matter Judge Hall suggested
that the court was ready for business. The
session was held in the county clerks of
flee with Miss G. Sadie Smith as official
stenographer. The case of George H.
Thomas VS., Lucy II. Butterfeld ct ais. oc-
cupied the attention of the court from the
opening till late Wednesday when the court
visited the land which figures in the case
Haskins & Schwenk appeared for the ora
tor and Chase & Daley for the defendants.
The case arises over the sale of the de-
PENDANTS farm to the orator and the cut
ting of lumber near a certain line. The
suit has been brought to determine where
the line is between the farm sold by the
defendant and certain timber land adjon-
ing. The cases on the law docket of Wind
ham county court of Lucy Fl. Butterfield
VS.. Thomas K. Stockwell for trespass, there
being two, were included in the chancery
case as the facts were brought out in the
chancery case.
In the case of Axel w. Larson VS.. San
ford A. Daniels, administrator, the de-
murrer was not sustained but upon agree
ment of counsel the case will go to the
supreme court on points of law raised in
the demurrer. A pro forma decree was
entered in the case of Adeline O. Andrews
ct al. VS.. Ava l.. Canedy, the demurrer
being sustained. This is Dover case
which arises over the transfer of a piece
of property and the orator states in her
bill that such transfer was secured through
much fine speech and many silken
yarns" The will of Hannah W. Towns of
Rockingham was established. The will
has been allowed in the Westminster pro-
bate district.

No Use to Initiate Your Chest.

Psychologists have shown that the blood
in the lungs will absorb oxygen at com
paratively fixed rate, determined by the
demands of the body, and that this rate
cannot be increased by increasing the
amount of oxygen present in the air, or
even of the amount of air in the lungs. If
you want to purify your blood" it is of
little value to initiate your chest pouter-
pigeon fashion. The blood in your lungs
takes up Just as much oxygen as your
muscles call for, and no more Exercise
your legs instead of your diaphragm and
chest. Even the inhalation of pure oxygen
in diseases of the lungs has yielded disap-
pointing results and is gravely questioned
as to its theoretical basis-Dr. Woods
Hutchinson, in the Outing Magazine for
November. ......

in hunting knows, begins Monday morn

safe to say scores if not hundreds of deer

last night the local town clerk had issued
344 resident and 5 nonresident licenses.

Prof. Francisco Ferrer convicted of in

an appeal to King Alfonso had failed.
The execution has produced profound
impression all over Europe especially in

in protest, and in other cities there were
ominous mutterings. Loud threats are
made that Alfonso has sealed his own
fate. Ferrer was a man of high standing

he feels he owes to the Jews out
side of the metropolis impel him
to display his talent to wider
circle and delight audiences in the
interior. who might otherwise
never have an opportunity to see
good acting in the Yiddish.
Mr.. Boris Thomashefsky and his
estimable helpmate consider it
their mission to enlighten the peo-
pie on the great achievements
made by the Yiddish theatrical
profession. so that not only the
Jew who speaks Yiddish, not only
our co-religionists unacquainted
with that language. but all Ameri-
cans may see that the highest de-
grecs of clever and artistic por-
traiture are today depicted on
the Yiddish stage.
Certainly these expectations were
more than realized at the three
performances given last week at
the Broadway.

players, held the crowded audi

of their realism.
1t is hardly necessary to make
eulogy on the superb work OF
the principals, as both have en-
joyed the height of fame in their
profession for many years. Mr..
Boris Thomashefslly is one of the
pioneers of the American 1iddish
stage. There are one or two resi-
dents of Denver who remember his

attempts some Twenty-Five years

For The first time in the hi&t0:y

proves that the Queen City of the
Plains has become an important
Jewish center. At the same time
we must allow considerable credit
to Mr.. Boris Thomashefsky for
his daring and enterprise i'll max

of the early American actors, we
see an almost perfect parallel. The
great luminaries of the American
stage had no college education.
They were obscure transformers,
who had hard time making both
ends meet. By dint of native tai
ent and hard labor they rose to
the heights.
The plays presented by Mr..
Thomashefsky clearly illustrated
the versatility of this star. In
'"The Lost Paradise" Il drama by
the welLknOwn playwright, Leon
Kobrin, ii problem play is present
ed, dealing with certain type OF
Jewish life in New York, which is
happily not very frequent. Mr..
Thomashefsky takes the role Of
the husband. commercial travel
er, whose wife, of merry tenn
permanent and full of the joy of
living, is lured away from her
home by her love of theatres and
balls. through the Vaccinations of
a handsome scOundrel. The men,
tai torture of the loving husband
and affectionate father as he dis
covers his wife's perfidy is graph
ically and artistically portrayed.
The terrific storm that RACES in
the unfortunate mans brain. his
futile attempts to drown the eX-
cruciating agony is most wildly
expressed in Mr.. Thomashefsky
Interpretation of this character.
The second play was 1.-The 1.-The
Devil of Ference Molnar in Yid-
dish translation. One is accus-
toned to associate Yiddish plays
with Jewish characters. Here was
a theme of cosmopolitan interest.
The excellent rendition of this al
legorical drama by the Thomashef-
sky troupe showed the perfect
adaptability of the Yiddish
Language for the exposition of
all the fine subtleties in the
ingenious dialogues that take
place in this play. The clear
and beautiful enunciation of
the vernacular by the we'll
trained company gave a most
agreeable and musical sound to a
tongue enormously thought harsh
by some who do not affect to
speak it.
The last play was the most pow
erful of the three. 1t was a reve-
lation to American theatregoers
accustomed to the inevitable hap
py ending or at least to have some
comedy injected into an otherwise
sombre setting. "Shma IsrOel"
was written by Ossip DimOff, a
Russian: not Jew, by the way,
but a man evidently familiar with
the psychology of Jewish life in
that accursed land. The impress
sion the play makes on the specta-
tor is indescrbable. Awful, terri
Bile. horrifying, are but mild terms.
It begins with tragedy, continues
with tears and ends in lamenta
tions. You cry from the sound of
the gong until the curtain falls on
the last act. Space forbids an
elaborate analysis of this drama.
A brief argument will suffice:
The scene opens in the home of
Jew. which has just been
wrecked in pogrom. Through the
windows one may look out on the

DR.. /. B. HAYS KILLED.
He Evidently Stepped From End of
Train at Night.

Maria, Texas, Jan. A body was
found on the tracks of the Southern
Pacific east of here at Rosenfield
Switch yesterday morning by the sec,
ton crew. From the effects it showed
to be DR.. l. B. Hays. He had a round
trip ticket from New York to San
Francisco and was evidently on his
return. Indications are he put on his
overcoat, took his grip and went out
of the sleeper AS it was night, he
doubtless thought he was entering an
other coach. The body was brought
in here last night and embalmed. By
advice by wire of George Gilbert,
chief of police, Northampton, Mass,
the body will be shipped tonight to
Florence, Mass.
