THE SHEPHERD
Of THE HILLS
PLAY, NEW TO THIS CITY GIVEN
AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE
THIS COMING SATURDAY.

Harold Bell Wright's novel, "The
Shepherd Of the Hills', dramitized un-
der the same name, was presented at
the Grand Opera House last evening
for the first time in Philadelphia be-
fore an audience that filed the large
auditorium. The story has been con
verted into play form by Mr.. Wright
and Fishery W. Reynolds.
It is pastoral play, as the name
would imply, but it different from
other dramas of the sort. A proud old
New Englander, Grant Matthews by
name, but called more frequently "Old
Mat,' journeyed westward, primarily
for the novelty that a wild and simple
life affords and secondariIy for the i'm
provement of his health. His prouder
son. Young Mat who is known more
formally as Grant Matthews, Jr., fol-
lows him for similar reasons. The
young man falls in love with Ollie
Stewart, fnancee of "sammy" Lane,
and wooes her, but with no success.
After complicated circumstances ad-
just themselves Sammy wine the girl
The tragedy is in the death Of Matt
hews Jr., who is killed while on hunt
ing EXPEDITION.
There are quarrels and physical en-
counters, disagreements and reconcile
ations in true Western fashion, and
here and there are other thrills. The
moral of the play is "contentment,' >
and it is amply illustrated.
The acting Of each part was entirely
creditable. and every bit of the liberal
applause was well deserved. Mrs.
Grant Matthews, Aunt Molly, is play
ed BY Maud Norton Curtis. Don Mer-
rifeld and John Thorn as the Matt
hews, ST., and Jr., respectively, full
filed every expectation, while ''Pete, >
child of nature, was impersonated by
Ella Malmrose. The role Of Sammy"
Lane was filled with artistry by Mar
garet Langhorne. The play should at
tract large and appreciative audiences
for it is one of exceptional charm and
appeal. At Grand Opera House Sat

There is a movement on foot by some
of the leading ladies of the land to
lnduef women to change their mode
of dress, and such thing will be hail
ed with delight by all Thoughtful peo.
pie. 1t seems to be the rule of today
for women to dress in such manner
as to cause the people to stare at them
when going down the street, and with
no thought for their health and com.
fort. The pace is generally set by
women, who are seeking most of their
time, to study out something outlanlish
i'll order to create comment. and once
started it spreads like wildfre until all
who want to be up to the latest style
think they must follow suit. When the
people Of our land come to realize that
it is character and not style that counts
for the most, outlandish dressing will
be the exception and not the rule.

Forks and possibly in other cities Of
tho state.
Section 8 is held to be unconstita
tionsl 1t exempts posts, lodges, chap
ters, councils, Communicates, consis-
tories and like organizations. This
act will affect all of the lodges and kin
dred organizations, such as militia
company armories, etc. in the state.
In brief, any property in North Dakota
not used exclusively for religious, cenl-
etery, educational or charitable pur-
poses, must pay tax. This will prob
ably take in chautauqua associations
and kindred organizations.
The opinion did not deal with sec
ton 10 exempting fair associations,
but there seems to be no good reasons
tc believe that they are exempt under
the constitution.
Attorney General Miller also fur
nished an opinion to the tax commits

TO INVESTIGATE ELECTRICITY
DANGERS.

Experts in the United States bureau
Of standards are now making plans
for an investigation of the dangers to
life and property from electricity pro-
vided for in the amendment to the APP
preparation bill of the last congress
introduced by former Representative
James NJ. Cox, now governor Of Ohio.
, This investigation will be started dur
ing the coming summer and the work
will be conducted by DR.. E. b. Rosa
and his assistants of the bureau OF
standards, under the direction OF DR..
S. w. Stratton.
This study of methods of safeguard
ing life is looked forward to by cleo
, trical men to produce results in the
line of human conservation more inn
portant than any other work of the
government to lessen industrial acci-
dents, except perhaps the investiga-
tons to make less hazardous the work
of men engaged in mining and the In
terstate commerce commissions rail-
way safety Investigations.
With the rapid increase in the use
OF electricity as a force of production
and transportation and for purposes OF
lighting and heating there has been a
marked increase during late years in
the number of lives lost and persons
injured by electric shock. While reli-
able figures are not available, it shown
throughout the country each week in
electrical accidents. and IT is also
known that the number of accidents
could be greatly lessened If safety
measures now in use in some places
could be standardized and generally
adopted.
