"THE BOHEMIAN GIRL"
Well Staged Production Enjoyed by
Bio Audience

Judged by the departing comments
of the large audience, the Aborn Op-
era company's modernized presenta-
ton of "The Bohemian Girl" last night
at the Bennington opera house made
good. Misled by adverse criticism of
the North Adams papers, a crude per
Torrance was expected, but an agree
able surprise was In store, for the pro-
duction was good In every particular
There were spots which will bear
smoothing The Dance OF the Hours"
from the opera la Giaconda," given
in the last act, while effective, was a
trifle lacking, which can In a measure
be accounted for by the fact that the
dancers were too crowded. And then
II was noticed that the orchestra was
not at all sure of the leads and con-
sequently certain amount of ANNA
ton was lacking. With little more
training "The Bohemian Girl" will be
up to the Aborn standard.
The cast of principals was given
opportunity to exploit individual ey-
cellence. II was well balanced and In
capable hands.
Harry Luckstone, appearing as
Count Arnheim. although little
hoarse, deserved the applause given
him for his opening song OF scene w.
act II in which he expresses his grief
over the loss of his daughter Airline,
who was admirably portrayed by
Blanche Morrison. Miss Morrison be-
sides having clear, sweet voice, had
also pleasing personality The quar-
tet composed OF Airline, the Queen,
Hattie Bell Ladd, Thaddeus, John p
Phillips, and Devllshoof. George
Shields, we'll suited to his role, scored
in their gypsy song OF scene III, ACT
H.
The opportunities for comedy were
grasped by Devilshoof and Florentine
the Counts nephew. Augustus
Vaughan as Florentine gave a pleas
ing presentation of foppish noble
man, who could not shake hands Will

HON. DAVID FOSTER
WAS GUEST OF
CHANGERS
Spoke Here Before the County
Pomona Grange
HE URED COOPERATION
State Master C. r. Smith Of Morris
Vile Also Gave an Ad-
dress

Congressman d. ]. Foster was the
guest yesterday of Bennington county
Pomona Grange and was the princi-
pal speaker at the meeting which was
held in Odd Fellows hall.
At the morning session, sevral can
didates were initiated and the routine
work of the ORDER completed. The
afternoon session was public The at
tendance was good but probably not
quite as large at 1t would have been
had the weather been more favorable.
The ladies of the local Grange fur
nished a splendid dinner at II o'clock.
The afternoon program was in
charge of Lecturer c. E. Knapp and
was unanimously voted one of the
best. Besides the addresses by State
Master G. f. Smith and Congressman
Foster. there were musical and other
selections of interest. Music was
furnished by the Goldsmith orchestra,
Mr.. Smith in his remarks urged bet.
ter business methods for the farmers,
closer attention to the advice and re-
concentrations of the experiment sta.
lions and other experts and getting
together in marketing crops.
Congressman Foster described the
work and aims of the international in.
stitute of agriculture held recently at
Rome, Italy, to which he was one OF
the delegates. He also advised united
action in selling farm products and
especially the cutting out the profits
of middlemen. Farmers could get more
for their products and at the same
time consumers would pay less, were
the producers and consumers in clos
er touch.
At the condition now is, the farmers
are compelled to sell their principal
crops to agents of commission houses
and before the food products reach
the consumer they pass through three
or four and sometimes five hands and
each one makes a profit. II the far
mers could organize as do producers
in other lines they could sell directly
either to the consumer or to retail
merchants and this way benefit both
producer and consumer For instance
apples are now being bought at the
orchards for shipment at S125 pei
barrel. After they have been handled
by the shipper, the commission bro
ker, the wholesale jobber and the
retailer, they go to the consumer al
from $3.50 to 81 per barrel The far
mer thus gets a low price and the
consumer pays high and both are dis
satisfied.
Mr.. Fosters address was very cor
daily received and a vote Of thanks
was extended to him and to Mr.
Smith.

RUMoRED FATAL ACCIDENT
People who Picked up Edward Lewis
Thought the Man Was Dead.

There were rumors of a fatal acct
dent on upper Main street Wednes-
day night and from first appearances
there were good foundations for the
rumors. Edward Lewis, a man be-
tween As and so years of age who
lives on farm in the East Road dis
trict fell from buggy upon his head
at the terminal of the street car line
on East Main street and was picked
up apparently dead
The man was taken by some of the
people living in the vicinity to the
piazza on the rear of the house oc-
cupied by Mr.. Pierce and aphysi-
clan was summoned. Even after the
man of medicine began to investigate
Lewis showed no signs of life. He
had a cut on the forehead and when
the doctor pressed upon the head to
ascertain If there were a fracture of
the skull Lewis opened his eyes and
began to object to the proceeding in
vigorous language. 1t was evident
that Lewis was not severely injured
and as he was too intoxicated to sub
init to any attention the physician
left him to respond to another call.

REJECTED LOVER
SHOOTS HIMSELF
At MONTPELIER
Albert D. Roth Of Whitehall
Found Dead on Sidewalk
LETTERS REVEAL IDENTITY
Rash Deed Committed Following inter
view With Young Woman Who
Sent Back His Ring

Montpelier, Sept 27.--The man who
fired a bullet into his brain in front
OF the Palace moving picture house on
Main street at midnight last night was
definitely identified this morning as
Albert d. Roth of Whitehall, N. Y,
and an undertaken was sent here this
afternoon to remove the body.
Roth brought the revolver he used
with him, investigation OF local stores
failing to show that it was purchased
in this city. The girl who sent him
back his engagement ring and the
young man who was with her last
night after their interview and whom
Roth followed during the evening but
did not modest, feel relieved to think
that 1t was not double or triple
tragedy.
Local Shriners took charge OF the
body and notified the family.
While efforts were being made to To-
cate the relatives of the suicide at
Whitehall letter found on Roth's
person gave the reason for self-des-
tructon. A Montpelier young woman
played piano in his fathers picture
house in Whitehall several months ago
and while there love affair sprang up
between the two. 1t appears the girl
did not return Roth's affections and
after returning to this city she sent
back his ring, which is supposed to be
the one taken from his little finger,
which appeared to be a diamond en-.
gagement ring
Roth came to Montpelier yesterday,
SO far as can be learned, and had an
interview with the young woman In
which she Is believed to have rejected
his attentions again. Roth bought his
ticket for Burlington about IL o'clock
and evidently intended to go home
on the early morning train. How he
came TO be on Main street 20 minutes
after buying the ticket is not known,
but he evidently became respondent
as his mind worked on his unsuccess-
full love affair and prompted him to
kill himself.
The girls parents are well-to-do PEG
pie and used every effort last night
to keep the girls name out Of the
press and the contents OF the letter
found on the dead man were not given
out.

MOTHER. AND SON
COMMIT SUICIDE
BY DROWNING
Bodies Found Bound Together
In Small Lake
SON HAD BEEN ARRESTED
Serious Charge Preyed on Mind Of
Mrs. Mary Lacey-Letters
Tell Sad Story
SON HAD BEEN ARRESTED

Palmer, Mass, Sept 2S.-The bod
les Of Mrs. Mary Lacey and her son,
]. G. Lacey of Fitchburg, were found
in Lake Lashaway, in East Brookheld,
yesterday, bound together by straps
about their wrists. Grief over a
charge on which the son had been ar
rested is supposed to have led them
to suicide. Mrs. Lacey was SO years
old, and her son &c. Mrs Lacey and
her son formerly lived in North
Brookfleld, but for several years past
had made their home in >Fitchburg
where Lacey was employed as stew
ard at the exclusive Fay club. Over
six feet tall, of athletic build and en-
gaging manner, Lacey was highly re-
garded by members Of the club, and
fwhen week ago he was placed under
arrest on charge OF serious nature
his acquaintance were greatly sur
prised.
Although Mrs. Lacey was not con
cerned in the charge made against
the young man, her friends say that
she took the matter deeply to heart
and soon after his release on bonds
both disappeared from Fitchburg. II
| is believed that they went to their old
home in North Brookfield and yester
day morning went to East Brookneld
by trolley. A man living near by
heard a scream from the direction oil
the lake shore about / o'clock yester
day afternoon and 1t is supposed that
the suicide pact was carried out al
this time, as the medical examiner
declared that the bodies had been In
the water but two or three hours wher
found. They were near the edge Of
the lake in water less than two feet
deep. On the shore was Lacey'i
travelling bag, containing a bottle Of
carbolic acid and 10 letters addressed
to persons in Fitchburg and Windsor
VT.
Before entering the water the mar
had removed his coat and hat and his
mother had taken off her hat ant
jacket The right wrist of the young
man was bound to the left wrist OF hi:
mother with skate strap, while the
other hands were held less closely to
gether with string.
After the medical examiner, E. w
Norwood Of Spencer, had ordered the
removal of the bodies to the rooms
Of an undertaken in Spencer some o.
the letters we're examined for pur
poses OF Identification. In each case
the letters mentioned the approach
ing hearing on charges preferred
against the young man In Fitchburg
and said that both the mother and sol
preferred to end their lives to meet
ing publicity. One OF the letters was
addressed TO a daughter-ln-law, Mrs
Bert Lacey, in Windsor, VT, Will,
others were to members of the Fa!
club in Fitchburg.

A LOVER OF DOGS
But He Finally Admired One Dog Too
Many


Frank German, as he gave his name,
a minor attache OF "The Bohemian
Girp also appears to have an attach
ment for dogs. When he came TO
town with the company yesterday he
brought small dog which Harry Rand
recognized as the property of DR.. A.
A. Mcdonald of North Adams.
Mr.. Rand telephoned DR.. Mcdonald
and found that the dog had been miss
ing since Monday night when "The
Bohemian Girl" company was in North
Adams. The doctor came right up
while Rand kept an eye out for Cor
man and the dog. When DR.. Melon
aid arrived the services Of States At
torney Meagher and officer Richard
]. Hurley were secured.
When accosted on the street Cor
man was not in the least abashed. In
vited to go along with Hurley he
vociferously objected declaring my
friends in the company will think I'm
pinched."

Turning to the States Attorney,
German inquired who In hell are

Go to-" said Mr.. German. "You
can't flim6am me. We're in Massa-
chusetts."
"All right" said Oficer Hurley,
come along up stairs and tell the
Judge so. He isn't prejudiced."
Before Judge Holden, Mr.. German
quieted down somewhat, especially
when he became convinced that Mas
sachusetts didn't include Bennington
OF present. He still maintained that
he didn't steal the dog but that the
dog appeared TO be homeless and APP
peared to want friend and so he
adopted him with the best OF inten'
tons.
Finding he was up against II, Cor
man finally pleaded guilty and was
assessed IS and costs, which he paid
merely requesting that the story DC
kept out OF the papers.

WILL COUNT STARS
IN The HEAVENS
Astronomer Engaged in This
Enormous Task

Amsterdam, Sept. pa tremendous
task, that of counting the stars up 10
the nineteenth magnitude, has been
undertaken by the Dutch astronomer,
Professor Kapteyn, who has collected
all the material furnished by the most
recent discoveries, notably those from
the American observatories.
Stars of less size than the fourteenth
magnitude are found in millions in the
milky way, and the work of counting
them from Photographic plates can
best be described as similar to count
ing blood corpuscles under micro
scope. Professor Kapteyn places the
total as SAP 100000 stars, the average
being 10000 stars to the square de-
gree of the heaven. He has further
calculated that the total light emenat-
inging from all stars is equal to 1884
times the luminosity of the star of the
first magnitude.
According to the Dutch scientist, the
boundaries of the universe, as far rs
human science has bee nable to pene.
trate, extend to $4,000 light years.
