AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Sousa's Band at Barre Opera House on
Thanksgiving Night.

When people have no personal knowl-
edge of anything that is much talked
of, OF is more OF less famous, they often
form an opinion by hearing or reading
the comments of those whose authority
is undoubted. There may be some who
have never heard, for instance, Sousa's
band. or seen John Philip Sousa, but
there are very few who have not heard
Of Sousa and his band, for almost every
home has either a piano or a phonograph,
on which the most popular Sousa music
is played But the chance 10 hear the
real Sousa band and see its celebrated
conductor viii be offered on Thanksgiv-
ing night, when Sousa and his band will
be az the opera house. Don't wait until
you read what the paper SAYS about il
the day after, but 90 to hear the con.
cert. and say afterwards, How that

carefully inspecting some of the com.
mendable changes brought about at Hope
and Elmwood. cemeteries. Ordinarily a
visit to the 6urying ground is thing
TO be postponed, deferred in preference
to more pressing duties and little cares.
But insofar as the board of cemetery
commissioners has devoted time and en-
ergy and funds toward beautifying
Barres largest resting places for the
dead. it is worth the effort of half
hours walk to visit Hope cemetery or
to spend a little less time in seeing
some of the things accomplished at Ella-
wood.
To say that the cemetery commission
has set a worthy example for the pub
lie spirited is casting no reflection ON the
men who are in charge of the other city
and it Is giving only just
credit to the untiring efforts of COM

But Big Football Contest Prom,
iSed to Be Close.
$4,000 PEOPLE GATHERED
Conditions Were Splendid for Game, and
Both Teams Came Onto Gridiron in
Fine Physical Condition for
the Encounter.

New Haven, Conn. Nov. %. Thirty
FIVE thousand followers OF the gaml
journeyed here to-day to see Harvard
and Yale match their football strength
and agility on the Yale field in the 33r
clash between the two universities IN
this department of college sport.
The weather was superb, Indian sum
mer conditions prevailing, with light
northerly breeze bringing just enough
keenness into the air to make playing
exhilarating. The two teams passed the
night quietly, the Yale players remain
ing at the infirmary in this city, while
Harvard stayed at New London, fifty
miles from the scene.
Discussion of the two teams as to
their relative strength and the individual
ability of the players, seemed to be the
sole theme of conversation in New
Haven. Harvard seemed to be the fav-
orite early this morning, the betting
odds being ten to nine, with plenty of
Yale money in sight Remembering that
the last two games resulted in scoreless
ties and that the Yale Princeton con
test last week was also without de.
cision, several wagers were laid in favor
of a Harvard victory in any event. 1t is
to note that no one has
scored a touchdown on Yale in eleven
years.
Since the advent of the rugby game of
football in this country, Harvard and
Yale have played 80 contests under va
rious notifications of the English game
Yale has scored % victories, Harvard
s. and there have been five scoreless
ties. Neither Harvard nor Yale has
scored a touchdown in their games since
1907. The scores in 1908 and 1909 were
IN field goals and safety.

THANKSGIVING AT PosToFFIcE
Barre Office to Be Closed as on Sun
days--The Arrangements.

Statistics show that throughout the
country little benefit accrues to patrons
by attempted delivery of mail carriers on
holiday like Thanksgiving; and rural
carriers are given the day by statute
law.
Tests have been made; and while the
postollice department does not direct
that all post offices be closed as on Sum
days, it suggests such trial be made. 1t
will be tried at the Barre postoffice on
Thursday next; and Postmaster Bisbee
would like to hear from any patrons who
feel themselves injured or Inconvenience
thereby:
Incoming mail will be sorted, and put
in postoffice boxes. Special delivery
mail will be delivered by messengers.
Ascollection will be made from the
street boxes after o'clock p. m. and
mail will be dispatched as on ordinary
days. No windows will be open in any
branch of the service.
The lobby will be open from o'clock
a. m. until 8 o'clock p. M, but an at
tempt will be made to exclude loafers
therefrom.

DAGGER MYsTERIoUsLY RETURNS
Coveted by Wealthy Americans, 1t Is
Now in Portugal.

Lisbon, Portugal, Nov. 23.-Th
famous dagger of the Dukes Of Bragan
"a, long coveted by wealthy American
collectors. has been returned to the stat,
as mysteriously as it disappeared from
the Royal Palace of Necessidadcs on ths
night of October 4, 1910, when King
n Manuel fled from his castle to fine
refuge ON British shores.
The weapon, studded with precious
stones and bearing Craftsmanship at.
tributed to Benvenuto Cellini is esti-
mated to be worth $4,000. Many for
eigners have sought to purchase it, ro-
mantle tales associated with the blade
having added historic worth to its in
trinsic value.
At the time of the revolution the Re-
publican leaders visited the deserted
palace and took possession of all the
jewels and works of art that the Royal
family had left behind. The dagger and
some other valuables failed. however, to
find their way into the hands of the new
authorities.
Some time ago the government de-
cided that all the furniture, Jewels and
other property seized at the palaces, but
which belonged to the fallen monarch
returned to them in London, and the old
inventory books Of the Bragsnza family
, are being examined to separate what be-
longs rigntfully to the royal family
from what is considered as the prop
erty of the Republic. Recently the dag
ger was secretly placed in the letter box
of the official who is conducting the in
ventory. There was nothing to Indicate

his whole band wiped out. Five of his
followers had been killed. eleven rem

Cazalla, ruthless robber and a men

dying. The new camp however, is
swarming with dead and dying suspects.
