lightful Coincidence. Miss Marie Tempest.

Miss Tempes- in Penelope" appear to
agree with wonderful unanimity that the
dainty artist could not have found a
better vehicle than this comedy had it
been written to order for her. for it
affords her every possible opportunity
and with exceeding cleverness she is said
to take advantage Of them all
Her role in Penelope" is particularly
well suited to her. After having been mar
ried to a doctor husband whom she adores,
for five years, Penelope suddenly dis
covers that her liege lord has found an
affinity. Heartbroken. she appeals to
her family, for the only remedy she her
self sees is instant divorce. But her wise
old father, a professor of mathematics.
disagrees with her and tells her that If
she really wants her husband back she
will follow his advice and against her
viii she does it. The advice consisted
Of throwing the other two continually
together It all works out exactly as the
professor said it would and the doctor
husband does come back on Bonded knees

Washington needs a great big romping

that idea has been worked out so that

crowd flows in from 7:30 until 11:S0
The holiday spirit seems to have been
caught and imprisoned right there in that
big playground. The crowd on the 'rou-

fun enough for those who come simply to

TREASURER WELLS RETIRES.

As provided by law, County Treas
urer John Finney Wells closed his &C
counts and retired from Office on
April 80, the close OF the county's
fiscal year, and Mr.. William !. Shana-
han with his deputy, Mr.. David II.
Silver, and special deputy William
Anderson, at once took charge of the
Office.
Preparatory to this step Account
ant John S. Holt made an expert
examination of the books and sui
mitted his report to the County
Commissioners on Monday, when it
was formally accepted.
After a thorough analysis of the
various accounts Mr.. Holt said, "The
books show that there should be i'll
the hands of Treasurer Wells the
sum of $5,77L32 and two checks
aggregating $25790. " These
amounts were then turned over to
Treasurer Shanahan who reccipted
for the same.
Mr.. llolt's report concluded as
follows: lal Il would especially call
your attention to the Adjusted Tax
Sales Report, showing Trust Fund
held by the Treasurer, a feature, as
far as can ascertain upon research,
peculiar to this administration. To- |
found the books correct, systcmat-
cally arranged, displaying very in
telligent and satisfying methods, aud
efficiently conducted by those who
had them in charge"
(a) Few will fail to express salts
faction that when property has been
purchased by the county at tax sale
and afterwards sold at a profit the
Treasurer books have been kept so
as to show definitely the whole
transaction, including the proper
beneficiary to receive this surplus.
(b) The conclusions of MIR. Holt,
who in his critical Judgment is like
the lrishman's tree, so straight that
it leans little, will satisfy the most
exacting as to the condition of the
treasury, and will he most agreeable
to the many friends of the late ad-
ministration.
During the eight years of MIR.
Wells tenure of office the utmost
courtesy has been extended to the
over G,00o taxpayers of the county
and the number of clerical mistakes
made in individual accounts has
been extremely small and promptly
corrected when discovered.
1t is needless to say that these re-
suits were reached largely through
the faithfulness OF the clerical staff of
the office and the vigilance of the
Treasurer's counsel, Mr.. l.. IL.

is a trying one and the Board de.
serves the thanks OF the community
for all it has done.
The new Board goes in with an
excellent opportunity to make a
record. In these days when every
thing is on the Jump and civic pride
is at high water mark the town
authorities have golden oppor-
tunity by arousing the proper spirit
among householders, by pressing
upon the town bailifF the value Of
continual vigilance about attending
to little things, byrequiring that the
streets shall not be continually block
ed by private users, or Uttered with
waste by careless pedestrians, or
blocked at times by noisy loafers,
and by requiring the regular removal
Of garbage and waste, much can be
done towards adding to the comfort,
pleasure and charm Of living here
with no additional cost 1t should
be remembered by all chronic
grumblers that the resources of the
Board are limited and their fixed ex-
penses heavy, so that expensive i'm
provements are not practicable; but
a laborer on the street with cart,
shovel and few small stones, with
similar watchiul treatment OF side
walks can double the comfort OF
residents with little or no additional
cost. A more vigilant eye on a
certain set who almost conhscate the
sidewalks in the heart OF the town,
their only reward for such use being
noisy il not questionable language,
should be steadily but firmly exercis-
ed. We do not sympathize with
chronic knockers, we do not believe
in turning out officials to make
places tor others, we do not and will
not support unreasonable demands
on authorities which cannot be met
but we do and ever will advocate as
much thrift and continued diligence
in the public service as is ordinarily
shown in private enterprise.
No one Of the larger subjects which
will demand the Boards attention
exceeds in Importance that of provid-
ing sewer system. If a fairly good
means Of getting rid Of waste water
does not follow the introduction of
a water supply, typhoid and other
cpidemics are sure to follow, and it
is only by grace that such an in
vason of this town has not already
taken place.
But the residents of the community
should ever remember that on them
more than on local authorities rests
the responsibility Of making and
maintaining the most attractive
residential town in the state, and
that there is no better time than
May day to join the helpers and no
better time to keep warmed up to the
task than the 3Gt days which follow
