and Mrs. Grant Bronson when their
daughter, Miss Tula Bronson, enter
tanned eighteen young ladies OF the
community in a most charming man
ner. The ladies met supposedly to
sew and plan work in which the So
ciety is interested and the unique
way in which Miss Bronson brought
about the object of this gathering re-
fiected much credit upon the hostess.
About $50 the guests were request
ed to put their work aside and for a
time games formei the fascinating
feature OF entertainment
After the serving of home made
candy, cream and cake, each guest
was presented with a telegram mes
sage from Dan Cupid" sealed with
a small golden heart. This message
gave the information that the solu-
ton to the secret, for which every
one was anxiously waiting, would be
found hidden within the favors.
These favors were dainty boxes of
confectionery and concealed in their
midst were the names Of Miss Bron-
son and George Wright This modest
and pleasing way of announcing to
her friends her engagement gave
most delightful climax to the entire
affair.
After heartiest wishes and con-
gratulatiOns to the hostess the guests
left for their homes, unanimously

CAMBRIDGE WON
New Workers Defeated Berkshire
League Champs by Score Of 7 to o

The Bennington baseball team
went TO Cambridge yesterday and

season that it could collect a team
strong enough to do" the Berkshire
league champs and yesterday il made
good on the claim

box and six of the Albany state
league team in the lineup the Cam
bridge fans had the satisfaction of
seeing a whitewash score put on the
team that has so easily defeated
their team in three previous contests.
Wolfgang held Bennington to two
hits which were made by Prindle
and Carolan. Harrington, who pitch
ed for Bennington. was in poor form
and said so before he went into the
game. The Bennington boxman was
hit for IL safe swats but the Cam
bridge team was unable to score I'M
til the last half of the sixth inning.
Then there was balloon ascension
and Cambridge scored three runs on
one hit.

1.-THE BOHEMIAN GIRL"
Popular English Version at the Opera
House Tonight.

OF all the musical productions
presented within the last few years,
none have attracted more widespread
attention or received warmer praise
than has the Aborn Opera company's
modernized revival of 1.-The Bohem-
ian Girl" in English, which will be
the attraction at the Bennington
opera house tonight Many of the
changes incorporated into this YER
sion were suggested by the book used
at the time of the music festival at
Paris, during the French Second EN-
|pire. An especially elaborate pro-
|duction to which the Marquis de
Saint Georges added, was made for
this occasion, and so successful did
liz become that it won for its cele-
|brated composer such coveted honors
las Commander Of the Order of Carlos
IN. from the Regent of Spain and was
made Chevalier of the Legion of
Honor by Napoleon Ill. To a sur
|prising extent, it is said, Edward p
Temple, formerly of the N. Y. Hip
|podrome, has succeeded in realizing
|hll of the suggestions contained in
the Partisan version.
While unusual efforts have been
made to amplify the scenic environ
|ment, assurance is given that the
|musicianly requirements of the opera
have not been sighted in the small
|est degree. To the selection of the
hast the Messrs. Aborn have given
their personal attention and every
member is fitted both artistically and
to the roles given in their
bare.

Lord Rosebery. master phrasemak-
er, has credit for phrase which he
never originated When he addressed
the editors OF the empire at the White
City in June 5, 1900. he was reported
In many newspapers to have said that
Europe was rafting into barbarism.g" =
A capital phrase. The word rafting
suggests bayonets, guns, and military
accoutrements; ''harbarism" stands
for the mad competition in ornaments.
What Lord Rosebery said was that
Europe was "relapsing into barbar-
ism," which is equally true but less
picturesque. In the official report Of
the Imperial Press Conference. how
ever, the phrase used is "relapsing in
to milItarism." which is obviously In
correct. as there was never so much
militarisn in the history of Europe. as
there is at the present time. While
Lord Rosebery said "relapsing Into
barbarism," rafting. has got such
start in the popular press that we

At a time when Death Valley was
as little known to the prospector as 1t
still is to the public there was a man
named Bennett who was OF party OF
immigrants, making their way west

struggled In advance Of his com

western bars of Death Valley. Ben

the foothills Of the Panamint noun

Here he found a spring OF good water
and camped. as best he could. to re-
cuperate. He was not a prospector
but was attracted by the metallic
quality of groupings that were In
great quantity about the spring and
protruded in a mammoth ledge near
by.
When Bennett, after great hard
ships and wandering, finally made
his way out to settlements In the far

ore; and later obtaining gun that
lacked sight, Bennett took the gun
and the ore to blacksmith shop and
had a sight fashioned out of this met

his friends afterward searched for
