June 7-Mose (local.)
The average theatre goer has seen
a world of tragedies and drama Of
the lurid type of the characterization
al, and probably no two persons would
hold the same opinion of their ques-
tionable influence. There is rarely a
dissenting voice on the merit of a good
and wholesome comedy, and to laugh
is to be good-to be satisfied and then,
remember. A play in which there Is
judicious blending Of pathos and
hnumor interviewer and no matter
how generous the opportunity may be
for the development of character,
there must be an embodiment Of grace
and naturalness. One might site as
an instance the character of Granmum
as portrayed by May Robson in her
new play, A Night Out, in which she
will appear at the Fargo operahouse
this evening.

Tale of a Royal Relic.

Mrs. Andrew Lang, writing in Black woods, tells of a Frenchman in whose chateau was a window on which Hen " " had once scratched the inscrip- ton: "Dieu garde de nal ma mic. Ce Il de septembre. 1589.-Henry." The inscription, when M Eudel first saw it, was in two lines of big clumsy letters Two years later, being again in the neighborhood, he revisited the chateau when he was astonished to find that the inscription was now in three lines, with the letters much more nearly uni form. After some effort, he got hold of the secret. For forty years the in scription on the window had been the guides pride and pleasure till in one fatal moment of inattention on his part an Englishnan had cut the pane of glass out of its setting and walked away with it in his pocket.
 The poor guide hurried to tell his master what had befalien him. The owner of the chateau assured him that the accident was of no consequence and could soon be put right And so it was! 4 piece of glass of the same tone as the other panes was procured and fastened lightly in it's place The guide received orders to turn his back so as to allow visitors to read the in- scription-or, if they wished, to steal it.
 But it was necessary for the man to perceive in the nick of time what was going on and only consent to shut his eyes on the receipt of a handsome tip

NEW THEORY ON MEASLES

 Period of Infection.

Dr. John F. Anderson, who is di- rector of the hygienic laboratory, said, is entirely different from the dis Public Health and Marine Hospital Service in Washington gave the Cutter lecture before the Harvard Medical School. His subject was Some Recent Advances in Our Knowledge of Certain Infectious Dis cases" The most important thing learned about measles, he said, was the period of infection. This diease IS not infectious during the earliest peril of of convalescence. It is infectious from about eighteen hours before eruption begins to eighteen hours after eruption After these thirty six hours it is not transferred to others by means of the scales. Typhus, he ease known as typhoid fever, and was not we'll known by the medical frater- nity until within d few years, through the researches of Dr. Brill of the Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York. He an- nounced it few years ago as new infectious disease and he gave the results of his observation on several hundred cases.

drastic action. The Portuguese of New London and Stonington had ar ranged for a religious Holy Ghost celebration, according to Portuguese custom which was to include a pa- rade in which drum corps and Portuguese society from Stonington were to participate. Dr. Black put the kibosh on that parade as the small pox cases were in Portu- guese families and there was a fear that the disease might be brought to New London. Dr. Black was of the opinion. however, that the parade might be held week hence provided there was no further trace of the dis ease in Stoningbon and on this point he would satisfy himself by personal examination. The doctors ukase was taken gracefully as his efforts for the good health of the city are known to be from what he believes to be san itary motives.

Justin B, Holman. of Old SaybrooE. member of the state board of chart-
 ties. visited the New London aims
 house the present week and was un- stinted in the praise of the condi- tons that existed there In 90 far as went the care of the Inmates and the general conduct of the institution. He said the location was all too valuable To be devoted to the present purposes and wondered why the citizens did not get together and make different ar judgements for the care of the poor. He said that 1t would be much better for the inmates and the taxpayers were the almshouse located elsewhere and surrounded by land that could be utilized for farming purposes Then Puch of the inmates as were able could do some work which they would probably prefer to a life of almost Continuous likeness, with such a farm vegetables sufficient to supply the in- stitution could be raised and the run ming expenses of the institution ma 'eerially reduced. MT Holman said that he knew of no similar institution in the state where the Inmates fared bet ter than in New London. He said he made an unexpected visitation, ar irving while the noon meal was being prepared and was pleased to find con- ditions so favorable. The 'smeal in course of preparation was good enough for anybody, he said, and everything connected with the in stitution was cleanliness personif1ed. He also referred to the extra dinners on stated occasions furnished through the thoughtfulness of the late Sebas- tan D. Lawrence, and also for the provision of a new almshouse, He hoped for the good of all concerned that when this building was erected 1t would be in a location that would carry with it several acres of land that could be worked to advantage and then New London would have a town farm superior to any in the state.
 All that MT Holman suggested has been given consideration by the powers that be. and were, many times, but that was all Ii is not so very long ago that site for the town farm was practically selected but for some reason unknown to those on the outer circle the proposition seems to have been dropped Perhaps this little re- hinder will result in taking the mat ter up again for further consideration and perhaps with satisfying results,

For the first time in many years the civil war veterans will march in the parade on Memorial day the length of State street. After the pres entation of a flag to Perkins post, G, A. R., by the Daughters of Veterans. the old soldiers will enter carriages and ride to the cemeteries as has been the custom of late years. While many of the veterans feel thoroughly able to walk the entire distance. the great majority of them are unable to keep step with the band and the walk wonld be a hardship. On the coming Memorial day the parade will be much more attractive than usual by the presence of several hundred blue Jackets and band from the United States ship Dakota, which will arrive in port May 20, by order of the sec retary of the navy upon request of the local veterans. Besides there will be several companies Of the New Lon don Artillery district with the Eleventh band from Port Wright, the
 local military commands, the United
 Spanish War Veterans, the Sons of
 Veterans and the New London survi- lYofs of the civil war. Of course, there will be that attractive platoon of pos lice at the head of tho parade and there will aso be q band from the local organization composed of local mu-
 slciahs from elsewhere to fill the con- | tract requirement. of number of pieces in the band.

 Well, I'll tell you; I was in bed at quarter past twelve and I woke up at about four o'clock this morning. l could not sleep longer, so I got up and walked about town to see how the city work was progressing. There are many things to look out for and If can only get some of the business off my mind in the early morning I have time to attend to other matters of importance before I get to bed again. l repeat the operation nearly every day that I am in New London and when l am away, and it is usually on business directly or indirectly for the city, l feel as if there was some thing that l had left undone. The day IS hardly long enough for me to do a days work that is satisfying to my self. Sure l would sleep more if l could, but when you cannot, what's the use of idl1ng your time in bed. It is better to be up and doing. You know when we used to deliver and sell the old Chronicle we used to get up early in the morning, so that trick is nothing new to me, but you have evil dently changed in that respect.

 laid in the city of uniform material. This work Is going on in the five wards of the city by as many con- tractors. Mayor Mahan has a habit of visiting and inspecting this work when at least expected, though the city has an inspector on every job to see that the work is done according to specifications.
 Mayor Mahan frequently leaves his home at four o'clock in the morning and visits every part of the city where this work is in progress and usually completes his tour of inspection be-

AYRSHIRES GOOD DAIRY COWS
Almost Ideal Anima! for Consumer on
Account of Uniform Compost
ton Of Her Milk.

The AyrsIires are distinguished
more as good average dairy cows than
for heavy production either Of milk
or butterfat. In both these regards
they occupy a position midway be-
tween Jerseys or Guernseys and Hol-
stems. An average herd of Ayrshires
would probably produce more milk and
butterfat than an average herd of 9th
er dairy breeds, but selected herd Of
Ayrshires would fall much behind the
production Of a selected herd Of the
other breeds. For advanced registry,
an Ayrshire cow must produce 5000
pounds of milk and 214 pounds of but
terfat as a two-year-old. The require
ments gradually increase until the cow
is five years old, when she must pro
duce $500 pounds of milk and 322
pounds Of butterfat. The milk tests
terfat and about 1919 per cent. total
solids. From the standpoint Of the
milk consumer the Ayrshire is almost
ideal, because Of the uniform compo-
sition of the milk, but the heavy flow
which many producers want for profit
able production is lacking.
Twenty-four head of Ayrshire COWS
owned by different experiment sta
tons in America produced an aver
agile of 6,532 pounds of milk per year
and an average test of 1856 per cent. Of
butterfat, or 252 pounds per year. The
test of the milk II COWS gave an av-
erage Of 1898 per cent. total solids.
In this the fat represented 500 per
cent. of the total solids, as compared

fix that beside proving a most profit
