"The Servant in the Housev

No other play of modern years has won international fame so quickly or so swiftly raised it's author to an en- viabIe position in the foremost ranks of living playwrights as Charles Ram Kennedy's famous drama, The Ser yant in the House." which will be seen at the Jefferson theatre next Friday and Saturday, produced in Washington year ago last March. It had become the subject of newspaper comment all over the country before the end of Its first week. It was put on in New York the following week, and created veri- table sensation on blase Broadway. The day after the opening in New York the newspapers were full of the re- markable new drama which, as some of the critics expressed it, presented Christ on the stage. As a result of the furor created by extensive newspaper and magazine discussion, "The Servant in the House" settled down to rec ord breaking run that lasted through the spring and summer notwithstand ing the intense heat that prevailed on Broadway.
 The play has moved across the con- tinent to San Francisco and repeated the New York triumph on the Pacific coast. From San Francisco 1t moved into Chicago where it played to capac-
 
 of people were turned away at the box office during the last week in Chicago, notwithstanding the fact that two ex tra matinees were put in to accommo uate the overflow. The engagement in Chicago was cut short to permit the Henry Miller associated players to re- turn to the Savor theatre in New York for second run that lasted until the end of the year.
 The play will be presented here by the Henry Miller associated players.

Clyde Fitch,s Comedy "GirI.,

Girls written by Clyde Fitch and de- scirbed by conservative dramatic, review CTS as the best comedy of his career will be presented at the Shubert theatre No vember 2S-29. skt,sl s s
 This comedy prior to its production in America was played in Berlin, where it ran for two years. On its production at Daly's theatre, New York, it was so well received that it stayed at the famous playhouse all through the summer months, making run of 225 consecutive nights.
 Girls has been most generally de- scrbed as a delightful comedy. Certainly its clever author could not have selected more fortuitous or inspiring title for his play The word Is no sooner men, toned than a mental picture filled with youth, beauty. vivacity and cleverness stirs the imagination-just simple nat '' -i i'nassnming girlshness that sparkles with the radiance of it's own glow of l,es ineas and charms, is what is said 10 be found in Mir Fitch's work.
 Girls tells the story of three young women who go to New York to earn their living and with the avowed inten- ton of having nothing to do with the op- posite sex.

School Board Wins.

In the case of the School Board of
Worcester County against the Board of
County Commissioners of Worcester
County to compel the levy of sufficient
sum of money to pay the increase in
public school teachers salaries as pro
vided in an Act of the General Assembly
of 1908. the Court directs that the man.
damus against the County Commission
ers to compel them to levy for the pur-
poses Of the Act must lie-that is, must
be complied with to the letter.
The action in controversy provides in
creased pay for public school teachers
according to length of service. About
four years ago the Legislature enacted
law making it obligatory to pay at
least $500 year to every white teacher
making yearly average of 10 pupils.
This made no difference between those
holding first grade and those holding
second grade certificates, and conse-
quently there was no incentive to teach
ers to advance themselves to first
grade. BY the enactment of the Leg
islature of 1905 law was passed pro-
viding for an increase in the salaries of
all white teachers holding first grade
certificates and who have taught for a
period Of three to eight years, the in
crease being graded according to time
of service. A small increase was also
provided for those holding second grade
certificates.
It was contended by the County
Commissioners that they were not COM
PEELED TO levy for the specific purpose Of
paying an increase in teachers salaries.
therefore they appropriated last year
for school purposes $4,000. deeming
that amount sufficient.
As the increase in salaries will amount
to about 5000 year. and money will
nave to be provided to pay the amounts
due on increase for 1908 and 1909, as
well as for the present year. the County
Commissioners will have to levy about
$43, 900 this year for school purposes.
To do this the tax-rate will have TO be
increased 20 cents on the 500. The tax
rate for 1909 was 80 cents. II will
have to be increased to Sl.O0 this year
to provide enough money to run the
schools, pay other county expenses and
pay the money owing for the increase
in teachers salaries.
I'VE learn this morning that the case
is not definitely settled, but has been
sent back to the Worcester Circuit
Court for a new trial on other grounds
than the Constitutionality Of the Act.

No Vote On Direct Primaries
This Fall.

We believe il has been stated in the
public press that under the provisions
of the new State Primary law, the
voters of certain counties, viz Wicom-
leo, Worcester. Somerset, Washington
and Howard, will determine at the cleo
ton to be held this fall. their preference
for or against primaries by direct vote
for candidates for county offices.
Some of our lawyers do not so construe
the provision in the new Primary law
on this subject. They call attention to
the fact that Section 100 A of the new
law has an express ''proviso" or stipu-
lation that the provisions of the new
law requiring the selection Of candidates
BY direct vote shall not apply to the
nomination of candidates for county Of
fees in the above counties, but that
such candidates shall h. selected by a
County Contention, and also further ex-
pressly provides that "di the .drst Pri-
marB election held under me pr0risiOn Of
the foregoing 'pr0ris0' " in each of said
counties, the official ballots of the re-
spective political parties shall contain
squares in which the voters may BY
cross mark indicate their preference for
or against direct primaries for county
offices.
The first election held under the PRO
viso" clause of the new law. which
clause expressly provides for a County
Convention must be held in 1911. In

| Successful Entertainment.

1.-THE Kings Carnival" which was
presented Monday and Tuesday even
ings in Mason's Opera House by local
talent, was decided success. and great
ly enjoyed by all who attended. The
entertainment was given under the d.
rection Of Miss Caroline b. Mann, who
drilled the children and trained the
choruses with great skill.
The part Of queen was taken by Miss
Mildred Aydelotte. and Mr.. William T.
Duffy impersonated the king. The court
Jester was Mr.. Luther Davis.
"The Kings Carnival" has a spectac-
ular setting, the opening scene showing
the king and queen seated on their
thrones, surrounded by their court la
dies, their courtiers and the kings
minstrels.
The first part of the program was
taken up by "The Kings Minstrels, |"
with Mr.. A. Fred Hartman, interlocu-
tor. and the following young ladies and
gentlemen as minstrels Misses Mar
garet Straughn, Julia Purnell and Eva
Townsend, and Messrs. George Vincent,

the program were, The Tots Recep-
ton. College Boys" Buds, solo

Mrs. Ellen Townsend died at the
home of her niece, Mrs. Clayton J..
Purnell, last Friday afternoon. Mrs.
Townsend was eighty-six years of age.
and her death was due to general debil-
ity and old age. The deceased was the
widow of the late Levin Townsend. of
Snow Hill. She was also a sister Of
the late Joseph Ennis, Mrs. Lemuel
Purnell. and Mrs. Edward Hubbell.
Funeral services. conducted by Rev. G.
w. Prettyman, pastor Of Whatcoat NJ.

day afternoon at two o'clock. Inter-
ment was made in the NJ. Il. Cemetery.
The action of the State Road Com
mission in declaring that ii proposed to
enforce the law prohibiting the opera
ton of steam thrashing machines over
improved State roads has made num-
Der of farmers wonder how the machines
would reach their farms. The law APP
plies to machines having rough-edge-
wheels, which tear up the roads. An
arrangement has been devised by which
the rough edges of the wheels can be
made smooth. This is being used on
machines in many States. Machines
with smooth wheels and having tires at
least four inches wide may be operated
on the roads.
An innovation in church work in this
State will be the Summer Conference
which is to be held at Pen Mar, July
Is to % under the auspices of the Mary
land Christian Endeavor Union. This
Conference will be an entirely new fea-
ture in the religious work Of Maryland
and the many Christian Endeavor Socie-
ties in this county are interested in
having representatives attend these
sessions. The County Union is making
special effort to get out a large crowd
for all the other Unions are working to
the same end, and the officers of this
county want good representation. For
many years church workers have
thought the beautiful mountains of the
Western part of the State would be a
delightful place for summer meeting
but this is the first time it has been at
tempted.
Senator Martin, of Virginia, has
secured favorable report on his bill to
repay to Maryland and Virginia the
money advanced by those two Common
wealths for the erection of public build
ings in Washington. This was done in
the early history of the Government.
when the nations treasury was empty.
Under the Martin bill Maryland is to
get S72, 600. while Virginia is to get
$3.50, 900. In the first case the Mary
land General Assembly made its appro-
priation in the year 1871, and Virginia
its appropriation in 1889. 1t is asserted
by those who oppose the repayment Of
the money advanced by the two States
that 1t was done as sort of compensa-
ton for the seat of Government having
been located where it was. 1t is posi-
BILE that the Martin bill will get through
the Senate at this session. but its adj
vocates in the House have doubts about
their ability to pass it before next win

E. R. W00LLEY BUYS MINE.
OId-Time Producer of Big Cotton
wood Is Taken Over,

The old Carbonate mine, in Big Cot
tonwood district according TO advices
from the east has been taken over by
Ernest r. WoolIey president and gem
eral manager Of the Utah Ore Sampling
company. The mine was one of the ho-
nanza producers of the early days, in
which work was abandoned with the
downfall of silver and on account of wa
ter in the workings and difficulties Of
transportation.
Little has been known of the mine or
it's owners for some years, the latest rec
ord being that it passed into the hands
of Philadelphia capitalists. Report Is that
Woolley. who has been in the east the
last two weeks. has taken over the entire
capital stock OF the company, paying cash
for II.
With the knowledge which later devel-
opments in other properties have given
of the formation of the Big Cottonwood
section, and with the application of mod
ern methods to its development and opsr.
alton, there is little doubt that the Car
Donate mine will again be made an i'm.
portant producer. The property is on
