on a plan unique in the annals OF col.

The play was Of the conventional type
Of light musical comedy with catchy
music. A feature Of the performance
was the dancing in which the Lehigh
collegians showed the excellent training
they had received under the direction of
their coach, c. l.. Downing. of Phila-
delphia. The music was by one Of the
members of the club, z. s. Colling. II,

The theater's European and American
booking representatives have been un-
usually active the past few weeks look

have made noteworthy successes and
obtaining lines on novelties now in
process of creation. The fact that the
field of offerings is continually widening
and the number Of stellar features per-
petually multiplying makes 1t more and
more difficult as the seasons roll along
to select only those which will meet
the wishes Of the Washington polite
vaudeville clientele and which square
with the elevated policy which has guided
the destinies Of Chase's from its begin
ming thirteen seasons ago.
This responsibility to the well-known
ideals and aspira tions Of the management
and to the immense regular following
of the house weighs heavily upon the
and makes the task Of book
ing for Chase's more onerous and per-
picking than for any other vaudeville
theater in America From the list OF

Water.

The extremely hot weather that has pre-
vailed the past few days, which is unusual at
this time of year. has created great de-
mand for water in the village. This is en-
HANGED because of the dry spell which we are
experiencing. The Aaueduct Company
which supplies water all through the village
finds that the demands upon the System are
so great that those residing in the higher
locations are deprived of ii for any use what
ever This is notably true at Bright1ook
patients water is most essential, and on
Boynton Hill. These places have been get
ting very little water for the past two days.
It is hoped that our people viii realize the
situation and be good enough to refrain from
wasting the water in their houses or from
using ii outside at all until relief comes by a
good soaking rain
This situation is not caused by a lack OF
water at Stiles Pond. The pipe line bring
ing the water to the village Is not of -sr1fh-
dem ands made upon it at this time, when the
drouth and hot weather make for an increas-
ed use. of water.
1t is the plan of the Aqueduct Company to
reservoir somewhere within close proximity
of the village, so that when these unusual
demands come for water there will be no
lack because water so stored will equalize
the pressure during times like this.
The pipe line from Stiles Pond is of SufH.
IL 900 Inhabitants with water reasonably
used. There is now and aIway has been q
great waste of water in st. Johnsbury, much
greater than exists in most communities Of
there would be plenty for every body, not
only for houses, but for lawns and barns as
well.

Mrs. Frank Streeter's Work.

st. Johnsbury friends of Mrs.
Frank Streeter will be interested in
the following taken from the Man
chester, n. H, Union.
The news of the resi- gnation of
Mrs. Lillian S. Streeter from the
state board of charities and correc-
ton will be received with deep regret
by friends of the dependent and I'M
fortunate, not only throughout New
Hampshire, but far beyond its bord-
ers, for her efficient, self-sacrificin
work. covering a period of nearly
two decades, isywidely known and ap-
preciated. It was in 1893 that Mrs.
Streeter conducted the first investi-
cation and prepared the first report
ever made on the charities and cor
rections of New Hampshire. The re-
suits were submitted at the first New
England conference of charities and
corrections held at Newton, Mass,
October 24-26, 1893.
In 1895 Mrs. Streeter rendered an
other signal service by appearing be-
fore the Judiciary committee of the
state Senate in behalf of a bill pro-
viding for the removal of children
from a1mshouses. At the close of the
hearing, at which Mrs. Streeter pre-
sented the facts with which she had
made herself familiar, the COM
mittee reported unanimously in fav-
or, and each member sought the op-
portunity to aff1x his signature to
the report.
When the state board Of charities
and corrections was organized in
July, 1895, Mrs. Streeter declined a
place upon it. When a paid secre-
tary of the board was appointed in
1901, Mrs. Streeter was made chair
man of the board, and has held the
position and discharged it's duties
ever since. She retires with a long
record of earnest, efficient and self
sacrificing service which will be
more and more appreciated as the
years go by. 81,

MUMMERY III THE COMMONS
"Rlack Rod" and His Antics In the
English Parliament.

'Black h0d ano F1RS ANTICS IN SnS
English Parliament.
Many an American visiting the Brit
ish house of commons has heard with
establishment the cry BLACK Rod is
coming!' and wondered what was
happening.
BLACK ROD is simply an indication
OF the persistency with which our
oversee cousins cling to a bit OF an
tique mummery. Whenever in the
house this cry is uttered the sergeant
alarms springs to his feet. closes the
Adoors leading into the lobby and turns
the key in the lock. Having thus dra
matically insured the commons against
an attack, the sergeant-at-arn1s takes
his position in front of small win
dow, where he listens to three raps on
the door. Sergeant-at-arms then po-
litely asks what is wanted and learns
that Black Rod has message to be
delivered to the speaker and the COM
mons.
Then when the door is opened an old
gentleman in black is seen to come
slowly into the chamber. On his queer
old coat are three black rows; he wears
black silk stockings and trunks; a
black coat is held under one arm, and
a short black rod. with gold button
at the end. is in his other hand.
Black Rod is most ceremonious. He
bows three times to the speaker and
delivers his message, while the mem
bers Of the commons put on their hats.
Mr.. Speaker and the commons are re-
quested to enter the house Of lords to
listen to the kings assent to an act
which has passed both houses OF par
lament
Black Rod then bows to the speaker.
walks backward step by step to the
center of the house and repeats the
salutation. At the door he pauses
again and bows even lower.
Sergeant-at-arms swings his mace on
his shoulder and follows Black Rod.
Behind comes the speaker in his OFF,
cial robes. The members on the
benches take off their hats and rise in
their places. About half dozen of
them follow the speaker into the house
of lords. The speaker raises his cock
ed hat thrice and salutes the lord chan
cellor. The message of royal assent
is read and there is further exchange
Of salutes.
The speaker returns to the house In
solemn state. and the mace is laid on
the table. The business Of the com
mons is resumed without further in
terruption from the polite old gentle
man in black.
This ceremony is. of course. surviv-
al of the middle ages. when the house
Of commons found it necessary to pro
tect itself against crown and lords.
The door closed in the face OF Black
Rod. the negotiations at the wicket
and the hats on the members heads
were signs of the jealousy with which
the commons defended their legisla tive
rights. The courtesies exchanged be-
tween Black Rod and the speaker i'm
piled the willingness of the two houses
to confer peaceably together. -Harpers
