OPERA HOUSE NOTES.

An entirely revised and new, prOduc. tion of Uncle Dan or the Messenger from Jeryis Section, the beautiful New England melodrama, based on the widely read novel of that name, will be the attraction at the New Milford Opera House, Tuesday evening. Feb ruary 2d, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows Lodge.
 The life of and enduring interest in this wel-known play, made SO famous by Mrs Fiske and the late Barney McAuley, has been demonstrated in the past, but this season it comes out stronger and better than ever. The story is one that can never grow old. There is great interest and fascina. tion which clings and it has been truly said "Uncle Dan'l is a play that will live when others are forgotten. With the same scenery and cast which made such hit in New York and throughout the East, the produ -tion promises to be one of the features of the theatrical season here.

BASEBALL FANS TO
MEET TONIGHT
Paris Ready to Take Franchise if We
Fail to Make Deposit
Wednesday.

There is to be a rousing meeting
of the BASEBALL fans at Z 80 o'clock
tonight to take final action in regard
to the franchise for Winchester. The
Commercial Club of Paris held a
meeting last night and that city is
baseball wild and stands ready to
take the Winchester franchise if we
drop out or fail to make our deposit
Wednesday, when the directors of the
league meet in Richmond.
Frankfort has incorporated and
sold three-fodrths of its capital stock.
Richmond has disposed of all of its
stock and is baseball mad. Shelby
vile and Lexington are on solid
foundation and Paris and Mt. Ster-
ling are ready to take the franchises
of Winchester and Lawrenceburg the
moment they fail to make good. The
meeting tonight will be for the pur-
pose of taking fina faction and fin
ally deciding whether or not Win
chester will be in the league
AL those who have subscribed for
stock, and all those who have not yet
subscribed, but expect to, and all who
are interested in baseball are earnest
ly urged to be present at the meet
ing tonight and gre the promoters
of the baseball team the benefit of
their counsel and ac.lce. IF the re-
naming 80 per cent of the proposed
capital stock of the club an be sub
scribed between now and Z 80 o'clock
tonight Winchester will be represented
IN the league and the articles of in
corporation will be at once prepared
and delegates appointed to go to the
meeting In Richmond on Wednesday.
The promoters of the ball team have
a splendid lot of players assigned,
conditioned upon the club being or
gained. We are several hundred
dollars short of the necessary amount
and that must be raised today and
tonight. We know that most of our
merchants and business men will sub
scribe for stock to this enterprise
but are simply putting it off. No one
is asked to pay before the first of
May, but the subscription must be
made, and unless we can get the nee
esasry amount subscribed, Winches-
ter will bea dead one on the baseball
map the coming year. Let everybody
turn out and push the project along.
