How About this
Bonus Business?

Now comes q man from Wisconsin
with a proposition to the citizens OF
Watertown to establish business
college in this city if the citizens Will
subscribe for one hundred scholar
ships in his college at $50 each, which
would mean bonus to the institution
of $4,000 cash.
Now, the Saturday News wants TO
60 on record as being progressive i'll
every line of business but there are
always two sides to every proposition
First--Watcrtowp has given bonus
TO Il number Of institutions to start
business in Watertown. What becam"
of them; are there any of them III
business in this city at the present
time? Think it over.
Second-This proposed business col
lege may be all right and it may have
q number of branches, but what does
1t do with It's branches after tbs mana
ger has SKINNED the cream off.
Thirds the new proposed business
college willing to make a permanent
investment in WATERFOWL? What
guarantee would our people have that
1t would not sell out or shut down as
soon as the $4,000 had been taken into
camp?
Watertown has had considerable ex-
perience ia the business college line
and at one time there were two col
leges here. There was not field here
for two and one of them died a natural
death and the other one was sold to
Mr.. Vath, the present proprietor of the
Watertown Commercial College, who
has worked hard for the past two years
to get this institution on It's feet and
just as he is commencing to see a
silvery lining in the clouds along
comes a promoter who wants to start
another college.
Mr.. Vath says that If the citizens OF
4 Waterfowl will give him the same
4 kind OF a bonus that the other college
man asks for he will so him one beS
ter and erect fine, modern CONNER
cial college building which will be a
credit to the city and county.

R
 A. c. Delamater, who brides him. self upon being producer of clean plays, was asked in a recent interview how the idea occurred to him to dram atize .Freckles.'' He replied, t'that he had asked his twelve year old niece which was the best book in her Sunday school library; she unhesitat- ingly replied FFeckIes' Then he asked her to tell what the story was about. as it apparently had made 9 deep impression upon her, and she gave such a vivid and interesting synopsis, that he became interested and bought a copy of the book at the first opportunity, and after reading it carefully, believed that t'FreckEes'' 1, the plucky waif who guards the Linn berlost timber leases, and dreams of Angels, is a, character destined to live forever in American fictiou,r and. be- come one of the best loved heroes that has ever appeared in story or upon the stage. That his judgment was right is proven by the fact that s'Freckles' has sold half a million copies as a book and been greeted by crowded houses wherever the play has been presented. It comes here next week to the Park Theatre.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS
LYRIC THEATRE

The great ship scene, in teBrewster's S Millions" as staged by the Eleanor Cleveland company, at the Lyric thea tre this week, is exciting comments of emphatic praise, and is winning for that production a vast deal of sue cess With the elaborate and especi- ally effective storm which accom- panies 1t, the scene is really one of traordinary beauty and great real ism, and at every performance, the curtain goes down on the scene to the plause. Never, in the local history of the presen tation of this play, has duced, and it is really we'll worth the price of adm iSsion to witness this one scene alone.
 The presentation of the play by Miss markedly good, and the big audiences which are attending each successive performance are universal in their praise of the splendid work done by the members of the company, and es- pecially of the principals. The cast engaged in this production is the larg- est ever placed upon the Lyric stage, over thirty people being employed, but the stage accommodations are so ample that there is plenty of room for everyone, and there is never any
 ''Brewsters Millions as a whole is one of the most effective of all the Cleveland presentations, and the sue cess which is attending 1t is wholly
 aerited. There has been big sale of seats for all the remainder of the week and the enga cement promises to be the banner one of the season.
 t'The Three of Us'' which is to be the offering for next week, was writ ten by Rachel Crothers. and from the very first performance by Carlotte Nelson, who made of the play one of the biggest successes she had ever known, it leaped into popularity, which was responsible for an extended run in New York, and thereafter in all the big cities of the country. The play has been open to stock but a very short time, and it's presentation ny the Eleanor Cleveland company will be extremely enjoyable for all the pa find in it vehicle worthy of the best efforts from this talented company.
 tsThe Three Of Us'' is a comedy of the highest class, and is filled with cleverly written passages, which keep an audience in the very best of hu- nor. It is a play which deserves to be witnessed by everyone who desires tells a. story which is full of bright, pungent wit, sparkling in every line, and refreshing in it's cleyerness- The Three of Us'' vii surely be reign ing hit next week, for it will give Miss Cleveland and her chief associates of the best sort while it will be given a stage presentation entirely in keep ing with it's high class as 8 play.
 There has already been a heavy de- mand for seats for s@Tf1e Three of Us and the public apparently realizes that in this comedy. they will see the Cleve. land company at its best. Better get in line at once, and secure your seats among the first, in order that you may obtain Just what you want.

The sextette from Melody in F, and many other numbers that have been rehearsed by the band. or the last concert rendered by the band nothing but praise can be heard. Mr. John Carroll of the Lyric Stock said:
 "It is certainly strange matter to me that your Bridgeport people do not know what 8 grand band aorganiHa-
 ton you have. have never passed
 such an enjoyable, pleasant evening
 since have been in your city, and
 in asking you to play Lalereia Borg1a'
 next Sunday night I do so knowing that your band members can do it full
 justice. To sit in the theatre and
 listen to the strains of that perfect feelings that nothing but music can arouse. certainly shall be there every time there is a concert, and I want to say that if every. man, woman
 and child were to study music there
 would be some wonderful revelations. Scientific ear and vocal training should
 be compulsory in every. school, begin
 ing with the kindergarten and extend would sing or play and everyone would
 be well and happy. Correct music is a panacea for all i1ls.''

 ability as his rendering of Mende1s-

Washington, Oct. 24-Infantile par alysis has appeared among the Eslzi- mos of Alaska for the first time on record, and the public health service is taking measures to stamp out the disease.
 Reports have been made to Sur geon General Blue of five cases and one death at St MichaeHs and ten cases and two deaths at Una1akleet forty-five miles away. Three cases have been reported in Sitka.
 After the recent investigations of Prof. Rosenau of Harvard, Surgeon General Blue ordered the public health service officers in Alaska to investigate the probability of the dis ease being carried by stable flies.
