 Thomas Williams, portraying Magis- trate Watts, was all that could be de- sired plus his originalities- Mir. Will Hams is a thorough comedian and vivi- fled the production every time he ap- peared.
 Scott Siggins, who doubled on Colo mel Frank Raleigh and Officer O'Brien, while exceedingly capable in the for mer role, scintillated in his rendition of the latter. Further comedy was ably sustained by Emile Collins, a typ. ical French chef who pranced about in incessant indignation. Anthony DeMott, as clerk of the court, con- tributed to the features of the judi cial outfit.
 Mabel Montgomery appeared in the best role which has been assigned her since her advent in this city. The character of Betty Annesley presents occasion for the manifestation of tall ent. The exigencies permitted also the display of one or two handsome gowns.
 Frances Brandt looked the part of the charming widow to perfection, kept the gentlemen well in hand and dem onstrated some recherche toilettes.
 Jessie Pringle, as Cora, the maid had an opportunity to look pretty and wear some dainty colors, which has infrequently been accorded her during her previous admirable character con ception.
 The auditory regretted the brevity of Patty Allison's appearance, since her burton won the plaudits of her many admirers. Miss Allison handled her role skilfully and made a charming fancec for the audacious Henderson.

Perhaps many people of this city do
not know that the engine at the power
house is becoming too small to carry
the load Not that the engine is
diminishing in size but the fact is that
more people are using electric lights
and it is doubtful if the engine which
We have will be large enough to fur
niish the current demanded.
There has been a persistent cry for
day service and it occurs to us that
now would be good time to ins all
another engine to help carry the night
load and at the same time give the city
the advantage of day service
Of course the first question to be
considered is the cost but we have car
ried on an investigation and according
to the best authority we find that the
cost of an engine such as we would re-
amount represents practically all the
expense connected with the day SER

to imbibe the ideals of government, of

they are bound TO be influenced by

enthusiastic over the road there and
that at Duncan there would be a

a proposition to have the new road

tractive proposition to Mr.. Ayers.
Mr. Ayers will return to Ardmore
