aEight BeIIs.n

Nothing that comes to the opera house
this season can claim a more extensive
following Of those who like stage en-
ltertainment that gives them plenty Of
reason to laugh than Eight Bells"
which will be here Tuesday, November
End. Often as this combination Of farce
comedy, gymnastics and general jollity
has been seen, each passing season wit
nesses changes for the better in it's
mirth provoking scenes, and Of course
this concession 20 the pubic's appetite
for novelty has not been neglected in the
present instance. The Byrne Brothers
have lots Of funny business in addition
20 what il perennial of the old special
ties, and those who can't find laughter
in the grand and lofty tumbling, the
odd encounters and the thousand and
one circumstances crowdng through
Eight Bells could not find Il in the
dictionary. Eight Bells" in it's reju-
yenated state Is one Of the funniest
works Of it's class and il thoroughly en-
ioyahle. The play Is certainly inclusive
enough in the variety Of amusement il
offers in the course Of an evening. II
is in reality burlesque, pantomime
anu 7@HtAAtutdA piNAbAtfhH al IL tttN.
All the former successes in the way Of
trick effects are retained and many new
things are added.
II still presents the great revolving
ship, the trick wagon, the hustlng octo-
pus. the weird tricks and doors and
chairs and a dozen other novelties. The
cast is well adapted to carrying on the
fun Of the piece The Bros. Byrne play
the parts Of students and servants and
have All manner OF escapades, each
succeeding the other in rapid order and
each one more comical than the one pre-
eedng It, and so it goes through the
three very amusing acts Of the piece.
Mr.. John F. Byrne the eldest Of the
brothers, Is the inventor and patentee
Of all the stage mechanism used in the
presentation Of this amusing comedy
and it is said to be the most novel and
intricate used BY any road company
The Bros Byrne stand at the head Of
their profession in this peculiar line Of
work and bring strong company Of
speciality people with them, most Of
them we'll known in their particular line
Of business.

DREADFUL DISEASE is

aMy six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play
ing with children who had 1t, although
we did not know 1t. By scratching she
caused large sores which were irritating.
Her body was a complete sore but It was
worse on her arms and back. We en-
ployed a physician who left medicine
but IL did not help her and tried sew
eraI remedies but without avail. See
ing the Cuticura Remedies advertised,

her hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap
and anointed her body with Cuticura

the itching and In a short time the dis

Cabot Cemeteries Improved Under L. c.
Fishers Care.
Much credit is due our town cemetery
trustee, L. c. Fisher, for the interest
he has manifested and the marked i'm
proyoment he has made in the last rest
ing places Of the dead. Mr. Fisher has
raised BY subscription $500, which he has
expended for these improvements, $3.50,
being donated outside the state. At the
upper village some unsightly fence has
been removed, shade trees trimmed, 100
monuments and headstones cleaned and
righted up, and a fine driveway built,
leading from the main road around the
western and southern sides into the cen-
ter Of the cemetery. which has been en-
larped by the addition Of 100 lots. A
$3.50 fountain has been given by ~ w.
Paige Of New Jersey, former Cabot
boy, and a check for 800 to be deposited
for care OF the same is heartily appre
ciated and shows the endearnent one
has for his old home town This fonn-

are placed in the cemetery, to which a

ling the lots. At Lower Cabot can also
be seen new iron gate, which is much
more convenient and adds beauty TO the
entrance. Headstones have been cleaned
and other improvements made about the

Story Absolutely Untrue, as Far as
Newport News Company
Is Concerned.
FIVE FIRMS ARE MENTIONED
Dispatch From Washington Says That
Great Shipbuildino Plants on At
lantic Coast Are Considering Plan
for Consolidation-Refe to
"GentIemen's Agreement"

General Manager w. A. Post. of the
Newport News Shipbuild ng and Dry
Dock Company. last night gave to The
Daily Press an absolute denial of IA
report sent out from Washington 10
the effect that the local company Is
contemplating a consolidation with
three other great shipbuiIding plants
on the Atlantic coast. Mr.. Post,
in the absence of President Circuit,
who is IN Europe, speaks as the rep
resentative of the New York office
and his denial of the report is with
out reservation.
He said: 1T is simply a manutac-
tured story. have heard nothing
whatever about st, and am prepared
to say that as far as the Newport News
company is concerned. the report is
absolutely untrue. | have just return
ed from New York. and while Mr.. Or
cult is in Europe, speak Tor the
New York office as well as for my
own
The Washington Story.
The report referred TO was sent out
from Washington last night b. the
Central News Bureau, and it was as
follows:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June Is or
some weeks Official Washington has
been hearing rllmors of a movement TO
consolidate the ship building interests
Of the Atlantic Coast into singie
trust. A high Official is authority fGr
the statement that tentative plan Tor
such a consolidation has been dlawn
up. and has been given consideration
bv four of the FIVE ship building conf
paH.es on this coast?
That these concerns are operating
under what might be termed a gen
tlemen's agreement" is well known
to the navy department. There Is
convincing evidence of this fact Last
year when the department advertised
for bids for the construction OF ten
torpedo boats, the five firms on the
Atlantic Coast divided the Work
among them. Each company submit
ted bids for two vessels and no more.
The department accepted the bids and
the work was awarded practically
without competition
Last Saturay the department open
ed bids for the construction of five an-
ditional torpedo boat destroyers. the
same combination OF iNe HlhiS IN
each fer one vessel. There is no couot
that the department Will award the
contracts Just as the bids were made
The significance of this coincidence
was lost lB-on the department. 1t was
deemed impossible that five nrms
could twice so DIVE de their bids as
to secure for each the same amount
of work.
Without going into the matter. the
department officials took ii for gram
ed that the various companies con-
suited with each other before max
eng their bids and agreed to divide
the work
The FIVE firms which are in the
supposed ''gentlemen's agreement,
are: The Newport News Shipbuiiding
and Dry Deck Company; The Fore
River Co, the Cramps. the Bath
Iron Works and the New York Ship
building Company of Camden.
In a few days the department VIII
ask for BIDS for two sl0,000.0o0 bat

Denial to Be Expected.

While the positive denial from Mr..
Post will be reassuring to the local
public. the denial will not be half so
surprising as the report itself. The
Newport News company's independ-
ence always has been the boast OF
the company and the city. The COM
pany always mas kept free from com
binaticns and agreements, and every
enc familiar with the situation knows
that this reference to a gentlemen 5
agreement existing at this time is
ridiculous.
