CORRESPONDENCE
 FROM THATCHER

The play given by the Central Sun day School Dramatic company in the Thatcher Opera house on Saturday eve hing was well attended and much en- ioyed. The company do excellent work for an amateur troupe who have had no training.
 Wrn. Brown, the city drayman, while loading freight at the depot on Satur- day afternoon, slipped and fell between the wagon and platform, breaking his already crippled leg, right above the knee. He was taken home, and Dr. Platt was called in to set the broken limb. It proved to be serious break, and is sad affair from the fact that MT. Brown has a large family depen dent on his work.
 The Thatcher old people gathered at the Academy about ten o cloek on Sat urday morning, and found the room comfortably warmed, and seated with easy rockers. Ed. Phillips acted as master of ceremonies. Elizabeth Lay ton gave tho speech of welcome. This was followed by talks from Father Clar- idge, President Kmball Grandma Bar, ney, President Johnson and Bishop Pet ersou. Joseph Kimball recited "Saint Peter" ard the Phillips Sisters sang a duet. At twelve Q clock the door into the sewing room was opened up, and the old people escorted into dinner. The dinner consisted of chicken, turkey, beef, vegetables, fruits and pastry, and all the bounties of the season. Imme- diately after dinner the old people all went out on the lawn, where a group picture was taken of them. During the afternoon they entertained themsedvs by talks, stories and anecdotes of the past. Some sang and some talked of hard times, and all joined in the song Hard Times Come Again No More. !" All eyes were filled with tears occa- sionally, through some common memory of the past, but these were soon dis pelled by some mirthful reminiscence. So much food was left that the old peo- pie were invited to remain to supper, after which they were all given tickets to attend the theater. About forty peo- iple over sixty years old were in atten- dance, and many of them were heard to say that 1t was the most enjoyable Old Folks party ever given in Thatch- CT.

New Railroad VIII Go Ahead.

The recent decline in the price of copper will make no difference with the construction of the new Shannon-Ari- zona railroad, connecting the shannon smelter with the mines at Metcalf, says the Clifton Era. The price of copper will, in all probability, be higher by the time the railroad is completed, as it will require fully eight months to build it. The large surveying corps IS busy and it is reported that constrne- ton work will be commenced shortly after April 1.

If you should take a cold, few doses of Kenne iy's Laxative Cough Syrup will act very promptly It's laxative principle cures the cold by driving it from the system by a gentle but natural action of the bowels.

As the period Of intervention IS ending.
a decided change IN the attitude OF the
Cubans is noticed. Anti-Americanism,
which undoubtedly always existed, is
now beginning 20 show itself in various
ways. The most patent display of this
feeling was at last nights banquet TO
Gov. MagOon. The governor made
an optimistic speech in which he praised
the Cubaas and expressed confidence in
their ability to govern themselves. His
words were casually received and got only
perfuntory applause
It IS probable thar after the evacuation

serious labor difficulties. There are

they are waiting only for the departure

"CLEAN-SWEEP SAIL" MONDAY
Hecht's Annual Event Is Eagerly
Anticipated.
Each Department VIII Contribute
Prices Are Attractive.

Years ago, when the Hecht stores fnau-
gurated the custom OF a semi-annual
stock clearance and called It the clean
sweep" the hearty Endorsement OF the
people gave the event a place IN the an
nails OF Washington merchandising held
by no other occasion Of the kind in the
history Of the city.
Washingtonians Sre more OF less IA
miiar with sales OF various kinds and
for various pretexts. II Is said that no
other store at any time places It's en-
tire stock in a forced clearance at
prices which admit OF 10 profit what
ever: but IN this sale prices in nearly
every instance are substantially below
cost
As stated by member OF this we'll
known firm yesterday. these Clean
Sweep" sales are arranged. not for the
purpose OF proft-making, but IN order 70
clear out stocks prior 70 stOck-tsking,
VIXEN every effort Is made 10 have the
lines al their lowest level. And the
feature which commends them 10 the
welI-informed shopper. IS that they are
not timed for the end OF the season.
when the need for the goods has prac-
ticaIly passed, but always occur at the
height OF the season when the demand
and need are greatest.
The January Clean-Sweep Sale at the
Hecht stores VIII begin tomorrow morn
ing. and the firm states that never before
have the attractions been so great or the
underpriciag so decisive. Every depart
ment and every line has its fun share in
the clearance selling. and the price reduc-
tons viii doubtless create the biggest
kind OF a sensation
OF course. the Hecht Stores viii gladly
open an account whether purchases are
large or small, and payment can be made
in such sums and at such dates as viii
be entirely convenient That this plan
has proved immensely attractive IS shown
BY the fact that over 2a0,0lo accounts
have been opened by the house, and the
number is constantly increasing.
