lover Night" Notes

cover Night" the bright, snappy and witty comedy which comes to The Mahaiwe Theatre, Great Harrington, next Wednesday, NoY. g, direct from the Shubert Theatre. Boston, has been responsible for infinitely more laughs than the average run of plays. To say that the Boston engagement of two months was highly prosperous one, is but to state the plain fact, for the Shu- bert Theatre was crowded at almost every performance. Created for laugh ing purposes only" it certainly fulfills its mission. Every scene and situation fairly bubbles over with wit and humor, and there is not the slightest coarseness or suggestiveness in the whole three acts The newlyweds, on their honey moons, whose blunders from the basis of of, the plot, are young, gushing, foolish, and sentimental. and therein lies their charm. cover Night" has been recom- .aended as d cure for the blues, and it certainly proves an exhilaratiye tonic, and for one who has the grouch, it is partic ularly recommended,

Memories of Boyhood Days.
, the Editor of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
 Did you have fun when you were 8 boy? I did, you bet. Let me tell you what my ohums and 1 used to do to amuse ourselves. There was @ regular band or league of us in the place where lived. We used to get under the wagon shed at church during the noon hour, to plan up mischief and fun. We had 8 captain, or leader, and hls word was sure to be O. K. with us. Of course, we were good boys and would not do wrong for anything. Well, on Halloween there was always something doing, and the astonishment and surprise of some of our neighbers the next morning, at changes that had taken place during the night can be imagined, If not described. Some found that their gates had been CnAuStu, pciLstps Aune IA aSLl0 tree, Ur on top of the barn. OGners would go to hitch up their wagon or carriage and find that someone had traded with them, and that Dobbin was in the COW stable, and Bossy would be in Dobbln's stall i; and the calves aud pigs had changed their abodes. Small buildings had 5 habit of tipping over at thls time of the year. l remember farmer who loaded up some potatoes and squashes, so as to make an early start to town in the morn ing, and when he got there some of the sacks contained turnips instead of pota. toes, and the squashes proved to be pumpkins. a
 When a young couple went away to get married on the sly they would be sure to receive warm welcome when they returned, for we made 1t point Io give them good serenading. We had all sorts of instruments, such as dinner horns, tin pans, old saws, ow-bells, horse tiddles, etc, to produce loud and sweet music. Sometimes we were in- Yited in and treated fine; at other places we would have to make use of our legs to escape bullets, and we sometimes got a piece of money for our trouble, mean to stop. On one occasion we had just started to serenade young couple (and they were swells, regular top-notchers) .. The groom came out aud admitted that, he was very fond ot music, but as the bride was not feeling we'll he would give us $10 it we would omit the music.
 There was lots of other fun ill those days-fishing, hunting, nuttlng in the fall, going to the cider mill and sucking the sweet substance through straws husking bees, barn ralslngs, spelling schools, singing schools, and coastlng and skating in the winter time, as well as parties, sleigh-rides and dances. 1 don't think they have as good times now. and we certainly had fine times then. wish that could do them all over again. Yours truly, ..r

Letters From the People
The Torrington "Scare"


 To the Editor of The News: The Business Men of Torrington wish to call your attention to the unnecessary fear or uncalled for scare that seems to prevail among much of the transient trade that usually think Torrington the right place to visit. The recent epidemic of typhoid naturally sprung It's sensa tion, and struck some awful blows {; but the fever is not contagious, and the people united magnlficently in the fight against infection, and has it we'll in con- trol. Hence. we make thls announce ment to assure all old friends and GUS toners, that we can safely invite you to renew your visits here without the least danger of infection. Most of our travel ing salesmen are calling on us as usual, staying over night too, spending what they think Torrington is entitled to in Torrington hotels and with Torrington merchants. But we wish to assure them all that our hotels and merchants are as healthy and hospitable as ever, and our latchstrings are open to good fellow ship and trade. To the general pnblic too, that have always found advantage and pleasure in shopping here, we ex- tend our sincere assurance and con- fldence. Respectfully,

sLAcKING cANAAN's EYE

\ Canaan is ion the map" even more conspicuously than ever, since the now famous crusade began to cruse. News papers all over the state and beyond it's borders have taken shy at us because of the peculiar conditions existing here liquor, the wholesale prosecutions, the court of inquiry, the hold-up of the license applications awaiting the results of the hearings before the grand jurors, and the speculation regarding the evidence to be probed for when the court of inquiry convenes next week.
 From the tenor of some of the news. paper accounts, it might be inferred that veritable reign of terror has superseded an era of unbridled debauch- cry in Canaan.
 One paper, referring to the wholesale summoning of witnesses before the court of inquiry, states that "the wit nesses included officers of the town and several church deacons y" And Tn the interim of suspense the conscientious and inventive journalists on the outside may yet feel constrained to picture the Sabbath School teachers, the beloved pastors, the mothers in Israel, the ladies aid societies, the Hawthorne and Gran ford Clubs, the Equal Franchise League, the grand jurors, the honorable justice court itself, and even the editor, being haled before the august tribunal and compelled to tell where they get theirs.
 So far as speculation is concerned, there's no license-it's free and unre- stricted-and may be helped along by the current loose talk regarding the pro- gram to be observed when the exercises reopen next week, to the effect that the witnesses who have already been grilled are bent on reprisals and will get back at the prosecution" by alleging poker gambling, pooling funds on the baseball games, corrupt practices with force and arms in juggling dice, tiddledy-winks and mumblety-peg, and Tipping pennies contrary to the statutes in such case made and provided; the further blood. curdling rumors that some of the church deacon witnesses are to be horn swoggled for perjury, and divers and sundry whispers of kindred sinister inn port, all calculated to add a lurid glare to the reign of riot and ribaldry rampant in the imagination of mortified journal is,n and all tending to give rich color to the logical inference that Canaan is morally rotten, spiritually stagnant, its social status submerged and it's respect ability teetotally gone to the demnition bow-wows.
 It isn't pretty picture. But neither is it a true one.

What the Other Fellows Say.

Bridgeport has elected Coroner Wilson. Let's see. Isn't he the man who caused such stir throughout the state by daring what few coroners have been known to do--to lay the blame for a a'railroad wreck on the New Haven road itself ?-Water- bury Republican.
 The navy needs 500 men, says Secre- tary Meyer. A lack of partners for all the pretty girls has been complained of wherever the ships have been in port.- Meriden Journal.
 The fellow who does his courting on the Dutch treat basis gives evidence that Nature meant him for permanent bache- lorhood. On the other hand, the girl of the period reveals her own disposition in these days. The girl who devours a $2 dinner at the expense of $2-a-day man will demand pretty nearly the same pro- portion if he gets $2o a day.-New Ha- ven Union.
 The last stages in uncovering the wreck of the Maine in Havana harbor are pro- gressing rapidly and with this work there grows the impression that there are evi- dences of an outside explosion which preceded the interior and more destruct- i've one.-Bridgeport Standard
 The defeat of the workmen's compen- sation act at the last session of the Legis- lature has been the means of making many Socialists at this election. It may teach the leaders a lesson also that cam paign promises are made to be kept. The voters have been fooled long enough Bridgeport Post.
 A Massachusetts young man has been discovered who is withont bad habits of any sort. What is his redeeming fault ? New Haven Journal-Courier.
 The purchase of revolver in a local store by negro who used the weapon to kill fellow laborer on the Farnham dam may determine whether a dealer who sells firearms without being licensed to do so, is violating the law. And it might behoove the city council to pass an ordi- nance providing for such licensing of dealers immediately.-Pittsfield Journal.
