(Special c

Special Cores. of Farmer) Monroe, July 21--The School board by voting to close the Walkers Farm school next term, the same as lower Stepney on account of the very small attendance of pupils residing in Mon roe. Standing close to the Newtown line, this has been in the past, under school, scholars coming here from that town, last term nearly a dozen attend ing to three Monroe residents The latter will be sent to the East Village school. The Newtown children will have to be provided for by that town, several. decades. is probably a cause to make the Newtown officials say things and do things too. as one of our off cials thinks the case will go to law. Mayor Rice of New Haven, who still maintains his summer residence at East Village and occupied by him and family. gets back to the land at the week end over Sunday and oftener. The old style farm house. modernly fitted up, is about the cosiest in Mon roe and the genial Mayor thinks he is resting some when he is domiciled there, to "bide a wee" or longer. Monroe Center will progress little if the proposed new arrangement is carried out by the telephone company. Better and enlarged service is prom
 
 shall Beach's general store is to have a telephone pay station on account of increasing business. This will also re- lieve his numerous house calls. Also, where desired. desk telephones will re- place the wall apparatus. There is also to be charge to call from Bridgeport and this won't suit some.
 Edward G. Wheeler. brother of AL bert Wheeler. arrived here Tuesday from Alabama to pass the summer. Although Mr. Wheeler is almost an Octogenarian, he has made the long journey in safety and good health. He is the eldest of the six remaining Wheeler children.
 Town Clerk Stiles M Clarke has great recuperative powers. Although taken down again with his old ail- ment during the late hot spell and under the doctors care, he comes up and out smiling this week iand is get ting into form again.
 This has been a record summer for eleventh hour people hereabouts get ting in their crops without the least bit of rain interfering.
 H. J. Lord will in a few days have men to work grading and laying out the grounds adjacent to his new resi- dence, including the construction of drivewayS and walks.
 Mrs. A. W. French, IT,, and two children are passing the summer at the country home of her parents in Huntingdon county. Pennsylvania.
 Work on repairs to the Center school house is to be commenced in a few days. A new floor is to be laid and some improvements made.
 The wit of the Stove Club rises to remark that he don't think the "Hoss- trahan" ballot will make a good run this fall.

New York, July 21.-When Prin- cess Lwon Parlaghy returns to New York six weeks hence she is going to have seventeen servants instead of an even dozen, which she took away with her to Paris. She is, also going to pay $3,5OO a month for her rooms in a New York hotel. To help pass away her time the princess will paint a portrait of President Taft and give it to charity. For a year past the princess has been busy paint ing men of prominence in this coun- try, but she refuses to accept money for her work. Emperor William has seven life esize paintings of himself, done by the princess, and her only pay has been decorations and medals and letters of thanks.

THE COLUMBIA.
..Honey-Boy Ministries. >.

George Evans and his ever-popular
Honey Boy minstrels opened their an
nuaI engagement at the Columbia last
evening to an audience which showed its
appreciation by the almost constant ap-
plause which greeted the numbers.
The entertainment opened with the old
fashioned minstrel first part, only with
specially painted scenery and costumes.
The frst pair to arrive on the scene were
sam Lee and Clarence Marks. who con-
triouted a song apiece and the usual run
OF end-man jokes all Of which took very
well, however, for if there is any one
thing that the public does not seem to
tire of it is the old-fashioned minsrels
and their business. The rest Of the pro-
gramme is changed every year. but the
minstrel. first part, with the interlocutor,
end-men. and their jokes, seems destined
10 remain for some time to come.
The appearance Of John King and Earl
Benham was greeted with applause, and
their songs. THE Hat Ny Father Wore"
and Down Where the Watermelon
Grows" were both encored several times.
But the first big burst OF appreciation
Of the audience was on the entrance OF
Honey Boy Evans, the star OF the out
fit That he had lost none Of his popu-
larity here was evident from his recep-
ton, and that he had lost none of his
ability TO make the audience laugh with
him, as welh as at him, was apparent
from the condition of the audience after
he had once got started with his mon
ologue. His description Of day spent
in Hagerstown and the local hits that
he introduced throughout his talk must
be heard to be appreciated.
The remainder of the olio consisted Of
acts by Earl Benham. John King. and
a large and well-trained dancing chorus,
Alexander and Scott, and a most novel
marching and drill number entitled Ma
Mia. One of the novelties OF this act
was the accompaniment Of the swords
Of the supposed eombatants 10 the airs
Of Dixie" and Yankee Doodle" played
by the orchestra.
The second half Of the bin was a play

THE NEW NATIONAL.
William II. Crane in Father and
the Boys"

William Ii. Crane in 'Father and
the Boys"
At the National Theater last night a
large audience greeted William H. Crane
upon his second appearance in this city IN
! George AIDES successful comedy, Father
and the Boys" the opening night being
benefit for the Children's Hospital the
/ friends of the institution turning out IN
force.
The comedy is entirely suited TO the
! attachments of Mr.. Crane himself and
the company with which he is surrounded
being the story of a staid and steady old
business man and his two rather wild
sons. in which at first the young men are
inclined to deprecate the old gentleman's
close attention 10 business and quietness
of living, expressing the conviction that
he was miles behind the procession. The
father grows tired of their talk and re-
solves to teach them a salutary lesson.
so he plunges into the whirl of things
and in a short time exceeded their ut
most hopes as an up-to-date liver. II is
case of turning the tables and the
whole thing constitutes a comedy fun
Of laughable and complicated incidents.
The inevitable love affairs, of course.
run through it, and everything turns out
happily, the boys marrying in the end
about the very girls which their father
had picked out for them.
The capabilities of Mr.. Crane as a
comedian and his position in regard TO
the American stage are too wei defined
to require much dilation thereon at the
present time. The only requisite in his
case is TO find a congenial vehicle. and
this must surely be the case at present.
judging by the success which has at
tended his appearance in 1t, in a general
sense, and the evident enjoyment derived
from it by the audience last night in a
specific sense.
The support afforded Mr.. Crane is uni
formly good. notably Louis Massen. as
Maj. ellsworth, and Margaret Dale. as
Bessie> Brayton. while Forrest Orr and
Sidney Blair were effective as the two
sons. The remaining characters were
capably portrayed by Percy Brooke. John
P. Drawn, Scott Daley. Arthur Holman.
John May, Edward Donnelly, Vivian Mar
tin Elsa Payne, Mildred Beverly. Mar
garet Marshall, and Adele Clarke.

DINING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
Strenuous struggle for Food on For

An American railroad man gives the fol-
lowing account Of his experience in a
table d'hote dining car in Europe some
two years ago:
Dinner" he says. in Harper's Weekly.
was served table d'hote by two walters
in blue cutaway coats covered with large
brass buttons, and whether because of
the presence of an unusual number of
diners or for some other reason (although
am under the impression the conditions
were normaD. no greater confusion can
be imagined than that which followed
the efforts of these two men to serve
dinner to thirty-three or thirty-four per-
sons.
The two walters ran headlong from
one end Of the car 70 the other. passen-
gers shouting orders TO them. and at
times attempting 10 detaln them by
ciutching their coat tails. The courses,
while in some cases palatable, were often
cold and always served on cold plates,
and because Of the haste necessary under
the circumstances and the motion of the
car upon its rigid wheels were served
both on the plates and on the tablecloth.
The bread-the long French roll-was
served I'm sealed paper cases, 10 insure a
measure Of cleanliness, but that served

The same thick-hpped cups In which the
portage was served were later introduced
as the demi-tasses with which this ex-
traordnary meal closed. while the warm
champagne afforded the waiter an oppor-
tunity Of giving us a partial bath and
receiving our benedictions at the same
time. Enough of the wine. however. was
served TO partially nj three OF the heavy
tumblers which were provided, bat 1t was
