Fifty Years in Business.

Several hundred present and former
employees of Mr.. C. |. Hood on May -
celebrated the 50th anniversary of the
beginning of Mr.. Hoods business life
IN Lowell. On the 18th of May, 1861, a
boy of less than fifteen, known as
Charlie Hood, arrived in Lowell from
his home in Chelsea, Vermont, to make
his own way in the world. His early
training had been in his fathers drug
store In country town, and in a few
days he was learning more about the
business in Lowell pharmacy. After
five years here he was for five years
IN Metcalf's drug store in Boston, then
returned to Lowell to go into business
for himself. Always a thorough, pain
taking pharmacist, he soon turned his
attention to proprietary medicines, and
produced several that have made his
name known around the world. The
celebration was arranged entirely with
out Mr.. Hoods knowledge. He was
presented beautiful silver loving cup
and an address signed by all his en-
ployees, expressing appreciation of his
kindly treatment, his excellent leader
ship, and their best wishes for his
future. The whole affair testified to
the high esteem in which Mr.. Hood is
held by those who know him best.

Considerable interest is being aroused
in the preparations for the forthcoming
Elizabcthan dramatic revival Of Peele's
cold Wives Tale, by the English De-
partment at Middlebury College, under
the immediate direction of Prof. Frank
w. Cady, who obtained the degree Of
b. Lift. from Oxford University in
1908, where he witnessed the presenta-
ton Of Peele's The Arraignment of
Paris, D." by group Of competent actors.
1t is the first time that facilities for so
accurate reproduction has been avail
able in Vermont The temporary
theater constructed for last years
Roman Drama is still standing. and its
large stage has made possible the work
ing out of as accurate a reproduction as
is possible of the stage of one of the
theaters of Elizabeth's time A por-
ton of the stage has been enclosed. so
that there is the narrower front stage
of the sixteenth century, without foot
lights, but with seats for the spectators
upon the stage. 1t is also possible to
use the device of the double curtain so
often and skillfully used by the Eliza
bethan play-wrights for fastening the
action of play. The first and larger
curtain may remain open while new
scene is being prepared behind the
second and smaller one
1t is remarkable how we'll THE Old
Wives Tale" is fitted for production
upon such a stage. Yet on further
consideration, one is not surprised. for
this is the sort of stage that Peele was
used to. There is no scenery. except
few set pieces, and no extensive
shifting of the scene, yet the spectator
has no difficulty in following the story.
So well does the play suit this form of
stage that the imagination of the spec
tator is stimulated to a full realization
of the situations of the play, without
the aid of the elaborate scenery to
which modern theater-goer is accus-
toned. In this reproduction of Eliza
bethan conditions lies the academic
interest of the work attempted in the
presentation of the play. Its human
interest is in the play itself, a play
of fairy-land containing much true old
English comedy, some clever satire and
keen wit, all in an atmosphere OF fairy
change and transformation.

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.

Laueanun at Van Ness House.
Mrs. Peter J. IL nelly Of this village
attempted suicide Sunday evening at
the Van Ness house The unfortunate
woman went to Burlington Saturday
and regis tered at the Van Ness house
and appeared at meal time with the
other guests. There was nothing in
her appearance to Indicate that she
contemplated suicide. She was well
dressed as was her young son, who was
with her. She was observed during the
evening writing several letters which
were later found in her hand bag. A
two ounce bottle of laudanum nearly
drained on a stand by Mrs. Donnelly's
bed told the whole story. In one of the
letters she gave directions for her burial
in Cornwall and also made provisions
for the disposition of certain 500.
At midnight the boy came down to
the office and told the clerk at the desk
that his mother was awful sick and
somebody should go to her. Manager
E. 2. Woodbury. and Clerk Timothy P.
O'Brien went to the woman's room
and found Mrs. Donnelly on the bed
fully dressed, and in a condition ap-
preaching lethargy. She was conscious.
though, and was able to recognize the
people in the room. That she needed
medical help was apparent and DR..
Sabn was called.
Col Woodbury. asked Mrs. Donnelly
what she did it for, and the woman
replied she was tired of living. When
DR.. Sabin arrived he prescribed the
proper antidote, mustard and water.
Mrs. Donnelly refused to take this and
a hypodermic to produce nausea was
given. This had the desired effect and
emptied the woman's stomach. At
o'clock she was taken to the hospital,
where by considerable effort she was
kept awake.
When Mrs. Donnelly's condition was
ascertained her husband was i'm
mediately notified and he started for
Burlington on the morning sleeper.
Mr.. Donnelly said he knew of no reason
why his wife should end her life They
have three children, the Oldest. being
about Is years of age and has been en-
poyed in Burlington Of late. The con-
dition of Mrs. Donnelly at last reports
is that she is entirely out Of danger and
will be all right again in few days.
1t is said that she has acted rather
strangely at times of late and possibly
during one of these spells attempted to
take her life. Mrs Donnely is well
known in this vicinity and Cornwall
where she was botn.

was IL n Wise move on the part
of the council to reduce the police
force at this timer This is a ques-
ton that naturally will find expo
nents Oh either side. II is some.
thing that requires considerable
thought aud consideration. The
city dads were spurred TO take the
action they did from a view point
of economy and retrenchment, aud
were influenced TO some extent by
complaints OF some of our citizens
against the number on the force.
This spirit OF economy Is admirable
but Is Il false economy in this
instancel Some say yes, some say
no. On which side the prepond-
erance OF sentiment rests is hard TO
determine. OF course Il was done
rather as an experiment, and II Il
proves a failure the force will re-
sumo normal proportions once more.
But while the experiment is being
tried will serious consequences
arisep Will robbers become more
bold aud hoodlumism gain a foot
holdl II is true that a number OF
the business men petitioned for the
retention OF the two night police
one TO look after the business hous.
es and the other the residence dis
trict, presumably. II is also true
that during the time the two night
police have been serving, with the
exception OF the so-called Hindu
riot, the serenity OF the city Ia the
way OF robberies, murders, hold-ups,
rowdyisms, etc, has been practic-
ally undisturbed, We doubt ii
there is a more orderly OF peaceful
city in the Northwest than ST Johns
has been under the regime OF
the four police officers, Many
arrests have been made for various
causes. but the records fail to show
that even one was made falsely or
without due cause. Conilagrations
have been extinguished at their in
cipiency through the vigilance OF
the night police and suspicious
characters kept under surveillance.
II is said that the night police have
been spending too much time to-
gether, that they did not cover as
much territory as they should have !
done. II this was true the matter |
should have been reported TO the |
Chief OF Police, IL was his duty TO |
see that they took care OF as much |
territory as two men could reason
ably be expected to do. Both Mr.
Dunbar and Mr.. Etheredge are men
who seemed at least To attend 10
their own business, and personally
both are good fellows. Al best II

macy is more eiicacious than force
and a show OF authority. No po-
liceman can please everybody
Different people have different ideas
as TO how certain things should be
accomplished, and each believes his
individual views to be most correct
Whether the council was wise in
their action remains To be seen. We
have no desire TO either censure or
their action, because we
do not know what would be wisest
to do under the circumstances, all
points considered. But we do be-
Iieve they were only actuated by a
desire to do the very best they
