The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1910-04-01

The celebrated Paint and Powder CIub
OF the Monumental City has consented,
after solicitation by some friends of the
NIuD OF this city, to present on April 4th
at the City Opera House for the benefit
OF the Frederick City Hospital, the play
The Belle of New York, p" which was SO
enthusiastically received the fore part of
TINS week by crowded houses at Albaugh's
Theatre in Baltimore City The dancing
and singing was depicted in a manner
credited TO professionals. Some of the
gowns worn by the girls on the stage
were the envy Of almost every woman in
the audiences. 1t is hoped that a most
enthusiastic reception and a crowded
house will reward the young men when
they give their entertainment. The plot
OF the play is as follows:
With the raising of the curtain on the
first act is shown the dining-room of
Harry Bronson's house, on Riverside
Drive, New York. Young Bronson had
come to New York for the purpose of re-
forming the city, but while there fell by
the wayslde and was living rather a high
lie. With his room filled with actresses
from the Broadway theatres, young Bron-
son learns that his father, Ichabod Bron-
son, president of the Young Mems Rescue
League, accompanied by his cohorts. was
approaching his home, timing his arrival
to reach his sons residence when that
young gentleman was to be married to
Cora Angelique. Kissie Fitzgarter, &C.
companied by her friends, arrived at this
time, and she claimed that Young Bron-
son had trifled with her affections. Young
Bronson further complicated matters by
falling in love with Fiji, his French chefs
daughter. AT the time of his fathers
arrival all three girls were trying to win
the young man, but the father nipped the
bud In the head by stating that young
Bronson would be cut off without a cent.
All his adorerS left the young man but
Fiji. Harry, however, fell in love again,
THIS time with Violet Gray, a demure Sal
vatlon Army lass, who was known in the
slums OF Chinatown as ''the Belle of New
York, and whom Ichabod Bronson had,
after dlsinheriting his son, made his
heiress.
Without money and with but few friends
young Bronson secured position as a
dispenser at a soda fountain. After vari-
Gus mishaps Bronson was discovered in
the soda fountain place by his past friends
and Violet Gray, who proposed a plan
whereby the elder Bronson might be
brought around to his sons way OF think
ing. Although the young Bronson refused
to listen to her plan, Violet Gray discov-
cred crazy German, who declared that
he was going to kill Mr.. Bronson"
Through the actions Of the German and
the plans of Violet Gray, who, working
in young BronSon's interests, tried to dis
gust the elder Bronson, a complication of
affairs ensued, and with the fainting of
Violet Gray in Harry Bronson's arms
and the confession to the father, Harry
Bronson marched off with his bride.

ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Soon to Open.

Preparations are being made for the
reopening of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal in a week or ten days. Activity
prevails all along the water way and
boat and mule teams are being got
ready and the other necessary ar
rangements made for sending the fleet
of boats to Cumberland as soon as the
canal is filled with water. The water, it
is expected, will be turned into the
levels some time this week, but the
boats will not start for Cumberland be-
fore the following week, as it usually
requires several days to fill the canal
The officials of the canal and the ship
pers expect the next season to be one OF
the busiest periods that the water way
has had for years. The prospect for a
large shipment of coal, produce, etc, is
more promising, they say, than it has
been for many years.

 There is a movement under way to have poultry and pet stock show here in Skagway some time in January. The idea seems to have met with universal favor among the owners of thorough breds and it is surprising how exten- sive is this list of owners of blue blooded chickens. There are enough of them alone to make the show suc- cess in attendance, but of course a great many outsiders will be induced to attend. Skagway will be surprised to learn there are sixteen breeds of thor oughbred chickens in the place, not counting two varieties of the bantam family. There are three varieties of duck, three of geese and three of igeons.-Alaskan.
 That the ore of the Valdez district goes down and increases in richness with depth is assured if the Cliff mine may be taken as a standard by which to judge other properties of this vicinity, practically all of which are identical in character with that of the now famous property. The shaft now being sunk on this property has reached a depth of more than 70 feet and the vein in the bottom of the shaft has widened to more than three feet. Not only has the ore widened, but the ore carries values far in excess of those found on the surface, running in places to thou sands of dollars per ton, and to this fact is due the steadily increasing amounts of the weekly cleanups.- Prospector.
