SHOW WAS FINE.

Mabel Thorne and her company
opened three nights engagement at
the Electric theater here last night.
Their opening bill was 1.-TWO Mar
ried Men," a three-act comedy, and
so we'll was the play presented that
nothing can be heard on the streets to-
day but loud words of praise for the
company and also the play. Every
member in this company is an artist
and certainly handle their parts well.
The company is as equally balanced
as the companies are that are playing
to much larger houses. The work of
Miss Mabel Thorne and Billy Howard
in the leading roles were especially
good. Cudley Anderson in the role of
the Star Liar cannot be surpassed.
Mr.. McCord as Wigson handled his
part as a well experienced actor and
produced numerous rounds of laugh
ter, as did also Miss Lee as Mrs. John
Brown. Miss Pearl McCord as Mrs.
Frank Fuller handled her part nicely
and with her gorgeous gowns and her
attractive appearance won her way to
the hearts of the audience from the
very beginning. The gowns worn by
Miss Thorne and Miss McCord are
among the most gorgeous ever seen in
this city, and it is said by great
many people on the streets this morn
ing that this is the best company that
ever played in Conway, and it is safe
to say that they will have packed
houses for the balance of their en-
gagement in our city. The play for
tonight is a four-act comedy drama
entitled "The Tigers Den,' and every
one in Conway should see it. So come
out and prove to the show people that
the people of Conway appreciate good
plays presented by good company.

RURAL CARRIER At BENNING
POST OFFICE PLANS TO IMPROVE
MAIL SERVICE.
Supt. Haycock's Report With Ref
erence to Complaints Made by
the Citizens Association.

Following the complaint Of the Benning
Citizens Association as to poor postal
service at Benning, d. c., w. II. Hay
cock, superintendent Of delivery of the
city post office, has made an extensive
report to First Assistant Postmaster
General Grandfeld, in which he states
that with the elimination of the rural
delivery service for Benning from station
H, at Anacostia, and its transfer to the
Benning station the chief cause Of COM
plant will be removed and an excellent
service provided.
Mr.. Haycock states he ascertained that
there is no delay in the delivery of mail
at Benning due to the fact that the letter
carriers are unable to cover their entire
routes within eight hours, as represented
by the Benning association; that the pres
ent hours of collection, dispatch and ar
rival of mail meet all the needs of the
community; that patrons on the rural
route also have the benefit of "a general
delivery service in the Benning station,
and that those who formerly had city de-
livery service were not really entitled ito
it under the law. as their community was
truly rural, and as such properly within
the rural delivery service. The rural car
rier heretofore stationed at Anacostia
will be transferred to the Benning station
if Mr. Haycock's suggestion is adopted.
and all mail to and from Benning will
hereafter pass through station G, In this
city. instead Of partly through that sta
tion and partly through the Anacostia
station. +
Mr.. Haycock states that the restoration
of the 500 am. dispatch from Benning
which averaged fifty-three pieces day.
did not justify the payment of the. large
sum that would be necessary for it's con-
duct; that the morning dispatch now got
mail in the city in time for delivery the
same day, while the evening dispatch got
the mail here in time for its dispatch to
all points.

The people in Siberia buy their milk

for drink of milk cry for bite OF

say BE careful not to spill the milk" !"

Broken milk is better than spilled MIX.

to save the pieces. A quart OF frozen
milk on stick is very formidable

pans. though. OF course. when warm
spring weather comes Rans or pals must
be used, as the milk begins to melt.

President Eliot in his Washington
speech on the Both of March, said that
the rapid and successful growth of Har-

years had been due to the work of groups.
He added, also. that he had been a MEM
ber of each group and was able to carry
the wisdom Of one group to another, but
he desired TO testify that ii had been the
work of groups OF men from first to

way improvements and cnlargements Of
governmental work could be wrought out
in all lands.
Therefore, let your interest in good
municipal government be an active inter-

From Figaro
The progress of human sensibility is
amazing: we give soldiers better food and
lighter achievements and less work &c
every one. The regime in prisons is
milder; charity is ever increasing. and
our children have less to do and longer
holidays.
