OPERA HOUSE ATTRACTIONS.

Along the Kennebec," a New Eng land drama, now in its third success full season, will be produced at the Opera House, Thursday evening, Mo- vember II, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows. The play is moulded along the same idea as "The Old Homestead" "Shore Acres and York State Folks" and deals entire ly with country life. Plays of this nature are deservedly popular, inas- much as they are clean and whole some and leave a good taste in the mouth. They usually illustrate some good moral principle without des- cending to the oftimes morbid sen sationalism of the mel0drama or the soul-harrowing incidents of the prob lem play. Along the Kennebec" is said to have met with great favor wherever produced, anu much inter- est will be taken in the presentation of the play in this place. All special scenery is carried for the production.

MR.. HERMAN sEvENTY-F1vE.
Friends Tender Banquet to Veteran
Theatrical MANAGER.

Eugene Herman. the veteran manager of
the New Lyceum Theater celebrated his
seventy-fifth anniversary yesterday and

rical managers poured into his office

The biggest surprise of the day was in

DRAWING A CONTRAST.
Elevation of Edward and Installa.
tion of Taft.

Preaching last night in the Church of
the Covenant on the contrast between
earthly royalty and the brightness and
glory of the King of Kings" Rev. DR..
Charles Wood said that by contrast rath-
er than by similarity the inauguration of
next Thursday suggests the coronation
of Edward VII seven years ago.
The dominant note of monarchy, he
said. is splendor, where every state oc-
casion is a function and every function a
pageant. In contrast. the dominant note
of republic is simplicity, though never
poverty and meanness. However i'm
pressive an Inauguration may be, he de-
clared. there is no temptation, in a
coronation. to defy the chief parsonage of
the occasion.
DR.. Wood said that men for the most
part are SO eager to compel the world to
serve them and to get everything poss-
BILE out of all circumstances, that they
fail utterly to see that this savage and
barbaric way is doomed to failure, and
that the path of self sacrifice and service,
which Christ points out, is the only one
that leads to eternal life.

obedience he owes in conscience to the

Yet the Catholics word and the Cath

Those who assert that their Catholic

To ne Editor of The Star:

II is to be hoped that the Capital Trac-

OF the "pay-as-you-enter cars" at least
until after the inauguration. At present
they are nuisance to travellers. for the
reason that nine out Of every ten ar
riving carries a suit case or bundles Of
some kind. and they are compelled to put
them aside and possibly lose them al
together while searching for their purses
The long delays,now experienced in load
ing the cars will be further made worse
during the next week, and ! sincerely
hope the company will stop 1t at least for
the inauguration
