A Good Scheme.

The Royal Neighbors are talking
of establishing a rest room during the
Street FAIR. 1t is most certainly
needed, as any one who has seen the
tired mothers with small children
standing on the street or sitting on
court house lawn can testify, and
seems to have been entirely over
looked by managers OF former fairs.
II this progressive society takes the
matter up it will be a C They
will fun ish the absolutely free,
and any one may use it to rest and
refresh themselves. The W. e. T..
U. are also talking of furnishing a
rest room, and with the crowd that
will surely be here it will also be
needed. Then if the merchants
around the square would erect rest
booths in front Of their stores, the
rest question for all the weary ones
would be solved. Versailles really
i should have a rest room all the time
for the benefit Of the country custom
ers, it would pay big dividends.

this play in New York 1t was gener-

created little less than q profound

been no play presented In New

it for intense virility and finely
wrought dramatic workmanship.
