STORY OF THE PIED PIPER.

Musical Spectacle to Be Presented for
Womans Club Under Direction Of Miss
Elsa Eager.
"The Pied Piper of Hameln," to be
given in the Auditorium Nov. Z, and
8 under the auspices of the Brattleboro
Woman's club with Miss Elsa Eager as
director, is founded on Browning's poem.
The opening scene represents market
place in Hamelin on a festival day. The
people in holiday attire are shopping at
the booths or gathered in groups, the
children dancing and playing. Suddenly,
from every direction rats appear, drv-
ing the children from their play with
screams of fright The women take ref
uge i'm shops and houses while the men
after, a time succeed in driving the rats
away. Then the people reappear, and in
joy at being rid of the rats several
couples enter into a Dutch dance, which
is greatly enjoyed by all.
A wedding party of Hanovarian peas
ants appears at this time and into the
midst of the jolly throng the rats again
appear The bridegroom carries his
bride to safety and in the confusion the
mayor and councilmen appear marching
in ermine robes The citizens boot and
jeer and threaten violence unless they
rid the town of the pest. Driven to des-
peration, the officials are about to give
up, when far in the distance sounds
wonderful music.
Soon the musician appears playing up
on peculiar pipe, while the excited
people crowd around to see who he Is.
He. offers to rid the town of rats If the
mayor and council will give him 1000
guilders giving ample proof of his pow
err. After being assured by the mayor
that he will pay him 1000 guiders, the
ia1 n nj Nxri mi ip
while by ones and twos the rats appear
and. swarm the street. The Piper starts
toward the River Weser and upon reach
ing the bank wades into the stream, still
playing, while the rats follow and are
drowned, the populace meanwhile cheer
ing and congratulating themselves.
In the second act there is general re-
joicing. The mayor thinking the Piper
is drowned with the rats, takes all the
glory, but soon the scene changes, the
Pied Piper appearing to demand his
thousand guilders. The mayor and coun-
cilmen, filed with CONSERVATION, try to
treat the matter as a joke but finally
the mayor offers him so guilders The
Piper more strongly demands his just
dues or, as he says, II will pipe to a
different fashion, This so enrages the
mayor that he defies the Piper Ito blow
your old pipe until you bust"
The Piper then steps into the market
place and plays another tune and the
children gather and listen while he tells
of the beautiful land of love-" whittier
he will lead them. Merrily piping he
leads them up one street and down
another while the people call to them to
return, but to no avail Finally, when
they reach the mountain, a door opens
and they disappear inside, save one. He
being lame, was so far behind the others
that when he reaches the mountain the
door is closed and he returns to the
village weeping.
The curtain then rises on a tableau
showing the Piper and the children in
side the mountain contented and happy,
dancing. singing and playing games.

The Auditorium improvements

Those who have attended the last few
performances in the Auditorium have
had an opportunity to see the results
of the expenditure of the greater part
of the appropriation of $500 made in
a special town meeting. Steel ceilings
have been put on and have been paint
ed white. The handsome painting rep
resenting Drama on the sounding
board, has given way to a less effective
decoration in old gold and bronze The
wainscoting is painted light cream
and has a gold border and the walls
are painted in old rose. The doors are
stained to represent mahogany, and the
boxes and proscenium arch are decorat
ed in light cream and gold. The old
germ laden carpet has been removed
and the floor given a reddish shade of
paint, with red carpetng in the aisles.
The curtain, which represented a Span
ish scene. has been repainted and now
shows the edge of a field, woods sep
arated from a meadow by a small brook,
across which extends a rustic bridge.
The theatre is clean and wholesome but
there is less unanimity of sentiment as
to the effectiveness of the decorations.

JOSEPH GoODRIDoE.
Phineas Goodrich of Bratteboro-De-
signed Howe Sewing Machine.

News has been received of the death,
in Oakland. Calf, of Joseph Goodrldge,
80, brother of the late Phineas Goodrich
of Brattleboro. He was a native of
Westminster and went to California in
1919. He spelled his surname differently
from that of the Brattleboro family. At
the time of the earthquake in San Fran
cisco Mr.. Goodridge was living in that
city and his house was one of the first
to be destroyed. Since then he had lived
in Oakland. At one time he was con-
nected with the San Francisco mint.
Miss Katherine Goodrich of this town,
Miss Nellie Goodrich of Brooklne, Mass,
and William b. Goodrich of New Haven,
Conn, are children of his brother, Phin-
cas-, who died Aug. 1. 1895. Three nieces,
Mrs. Mary Il. Martin and Miss Susie and
Miss Lucy Goodrich, live in Newtonville,
Mass He also leaves a wife and daugh-
ter
He was the oldest member of the Cali
fornia Society of Pioneers. His death
was sudden at the home of his son-in-
law and daughter, DIR. and Mrs Gilbert
Grayam. When young man he made a
model of the first steam yacht ever de-
signed, and always had kept this model.
Later he designed the original model of
the Howe sewing machine. He was a
personal friend of Daniel Webster and
the two often went hunting together.
In 1S49 Mr. Goodridge Joined the pion-
GERS in the gold rush to California. He
amassed a fortune and then returned
East, but the lure of California was SO
strong that he soon returned there.
Mr. Goodridge was active and alert and
never lost his interest in affairs of the
day. He was custodian of the quarters,
in San Fra ncisco, of the California So
ciety of Pioneers up to the time of his
death. He was an authority on the his
tory of California.

A Republican Creed.

A Connecticut man, who has voted
the Republican ticket for 40 years, has
prepared a creed which is printed in
full in the New York Tribune 1t would
be an effective campaign document if
it were to be printed and circulated
among the thinking voters of the
country. Two articles of his creed merit
special attention. He says: 81 believe
that Taft has given an efficient, econ
omcal, safe and sane administration.
Illustrations of this may be seen in the
fact that many millions of dollars have
been yearly saved by placing the af-
fairs of the departments on scientific
business basis: by making the post office
department sef-supporting. by prosecu-
ton of trusts and the enforcement of
the interstate. commerce law, and by
brilliant foreign policy, looking toward
perpetual peaceful relations with all
nations" And in regard to the Pres
ident himself, he says: Il believe-and
this belief is based on a personal ac-
quaintance of nearly ~ years-that Taft
is man of splendid ability and attain
ments, of the highest character and of
spotless integrity that in all his Of
fetal conduct he is guided by motives
of the purest patriotism. and discharges
every duty with an eye single to the
public welfare; that he is not actuated
by an undue ambition, and that 50 keen
is his sense of honor that he would not
do wrong act to secure his reelection
nor fail to do the right thing because it
would bring defeat No one can deny
the facts as they are stated in the
second article quoted. Keep them in
mind, for they are good reasons for the
re- election of the President.

LOCAL OVERFLOW.

The following concerning the former
star centre of the Brattleboro Athletics
basketball team is from a recent issue
of the Troy IN. V Times: Jimmy
Davey, one of the stars of Troy's bas-
ketball team last season, is probably out
of athletics for good, according to let
ter received from him by his brother,
William Davey of North Troy. His
right arm was broken about month ago
in "a railway collision and he has just
been discharged from ST. Marys hos
pital in Wausau, Wis. The doctors have
told him that his arm will probably be
stiff for years, and this precludes any
possibility of him indulgng in athletics
for some time to come. Davey was
travelling with the Wausau baseball
team of the Illinois Wisconsin league at
the time of the accident, and although
five passengers We're killed, Davey was
the worst hurt of the baseball players.
The team finished fourth in the league
race
The October number of Electricity,
issued by the Brattleboro division of
the Twin State Gas & Electric COM
pany, says: "Our lines through Main
street and Canal street have been en-
trely rebuilt and weak poles at various
points about the town have been re-
placed by new ones. The line between
Brattleboro and Hinsdale has been thor
oughly overhauled, about 100 new poles
being used to replace old poles and to
strengthen the line around corners. 1t
has been necessary to shut off the cur
rent sometimes during all of this re-
construction and we beg your indulg-
ence, if be have been obliged to incon-
venience you. Since the beginning of
1912 we have secured about 80 additional
customers in our Hinsdale territory.
This additional load and the increasing
load of our older customers has been
met by the addition of a second high
tension transit former connected to the
line near DR., Gray's on the Brattleboro
road The addition of this transformer
doubles the capacity of this line and
provides for future business"
