age practically banished, Shawnee
town today turned its attention
toward seeking relief for the hun
dreds of refugees camped in tents
behind the town or scattered anon g
their country friends in the hills.
Provisions have been running short
since the town was cut off from the
outside world and the situation to.
day became grave.
Expected relief from the state and
other sources had not arrived de-
spite repeated appeals. When Capt.
w X. Naylor. representing the U.
S. relief work, and ]. C. Wallen-
meyer, state deputy Inspector of
weights and measures. arrived this
morning on the relief steamer Isa-
bell and learned of the threatened
famine conditions. they Immediately
headed upstream for supplies.
Mayor Enshaw and Capt. Lang,
representing Gov. Dunno, had al
ready gone up stream on a similar
mission. They had started for Mt.
Vernon. ILL.,, to see If they could
not induce the city to come to the
aid of the stricken people of Shaw
neetown. Word was received here
that the government expected to
send extra rations from Louisville,
but none of the supplies have been
seen.
Three militia companies here are
nearly out of provisions and for two
days have been short on rations
Hundreds Of people on the hills and
behind the town cannot help the
refugees. Six hundred refugees
housed in tents because of theil
homes being flooded. are runnins
short of supplies.
Unless provisions are received to.
night or tomorrow, many refugees
will suffer. extremely. Their plight
was made worse today by the con.
tinuous showers of rain. The can,
yass coverings were made totally in.

Weather Conditions Here and The re.
During the past week the weather in
this locality has been mild, some days
rainy and cool, others being warm and
balmy. Saturday and Sunday last were
particularly fair and warm. For the
month of January the temperature has
been high and wet. Dandelons, pansies
and violets have been blooming in more
or less protected outdoor places, Blue
birds have been fitting about, grasshop-
were found on Prof. H. D. Beachley's
lawn, and the black and tan colored
woody worm is still to be seen travelling
about. The prophet of the middle west
who predicted very stormy, cold and
blzzardous month has another guess
coming.
But after all several inches of snow
fell in this locality Wednesday, much of
it melting as it touched the ground.
Very pleasant weather must also pre-
vail elsewhere in the country according
to reports in Baltimore papers. Under
the heading "Winter In New England, "
we read the following:
West Upton. Mass, Jan. 25.-Pussy
willows are ready to pick here, and buds
have been found on rose bushes.
Augusta, Maine. because boys have
been swimming la birthday suits in the
Kennebeck, Chief of Police Fletcher has
ordered them to wear tights "even if it
is winter"
Bangor, Maine.-Eben Truesdale today
snapped buffalo robe for an ice cream
freezer.
Walpole, Mass. The annual picnic OF
the Bethany Church Sunday School, gen.
orally held in May; was held today. Boat
races and outdoor games were on the
program.

hope that the School Commissioners will

for he has more than he can do properly

justice to all, but an assistant is much

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week of February Sd. the distinguish
ed Metropolitan actor, Edmund Breeze,
is announced by Messrs Werba and LUIS
cher in an elaborate production of the
new comedy drama, entitled
THE MASTER MIND"
assisted by splendid company.
The story concerns the vicissitudes OF
an adventurer, an individual who conceals
his identity by assuming the position of
valet to rich young man about town.
The success of many of his schemes leads
to his title of 1.-THE Master Mind" Dis
covery of his true name would lead to
imprisonment or an asylum, and he is
clever enough to make such discovery al
most impossible, though for ways that
are dark and tricks that are mean he
is peculiar.
In the title role Mr.. Breese has part
of great responsibilities and stronger in
dramatic interest and individuality than
his really wonderful creations in ''The
Lion and the Mouse" 1.-The Third De-
gree" etc., in which he achieved envia-
BILE distinction and won Metropolitan ia
vor.
The play is in four absorbing acts, is
really comedy drama with fascinating
detective work interspersing the story OF
romance and the intrigues of desperate
trickster whose scene of action is in the
very midst of his purSuers.
The play is superbly staged and mount
ed, proving in every way notable pro-
duction.

Upton MAY
MAKE FARCE
OF THE RACE
Will Send Over 75-Footer No
Matter What Americans
May Decide On.

NEW YORK. March 22.-In yacht
ing circles there was gossip today that
the reconsideration which the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club has asked the New
York Yacht Club to make of its re-
fusal to accept Sir Thomas Lipton's
challenge for the Americas cup, will
place the New York club in an en-
barrassing corner It is rumored that
Sir Thomas will eliminate any condi-
tion that the defending boat not ex-
coed % feet in length, but challenging
with a 15 -footer he will enter a race,
if it is possible to obtain one, against
any challenger from so to 90 feet in
length, as provided in the deed of gift
OF the Americas. cup. Yachtsmen ex-
pressed the opinion that il this prop
osition was made the New York club
would be forced To accept the chal-
lenge and if a 90-foot boat was used
as the defender the race would be so
much of a farce that American
yaehtsmen would be held up to ridi-
Guile.
1t was reported today that the New
York club might reply to the Royal
Ulster Club as early as Monday next,
although the regular meeting of the
club is not scheduled until Thursday.

race, and especially by a new man,

ferent He has beaten them all be-
fore in Europe, and they expect to see
their idols fall before him. But it
hurts when rider like me, who is
practically unheard-of in Europe,
trims them.
THE Paris papers devoted lot of
space to me and my ability before my
first start, and the Parisians believed
that l was even faster than Kramer.
When I met with defeat in my first
race, l was met with cries of derision.
