DREAM WARNS OF DANGER.
New Jersey Woman Finds Her Aged
Parents Near Death.

In obedience to the call of her per-
ents, whom she saw reckoning to her
while she dreamed, Mrs. May Allen of
BIB Kenney street, Newark, n j., ac-
companied by her husband, Charles J.
Allen, called at the home of the old
folks-Ar. and Mrs. Donald Dorley-
at 2SS East One Hundred and Forty
eighth street, New York
She had dreamed that her father,
aged eighty, and mother, seventy-nine.
were sinking in a marsh and calling
to her for help.
The Aliens received no response
when they rang the bell at the Dorley
apartment. The janitor, Gustav Law
son, tried in vain to open the door.
Policeman Hough was summoned, and
the three men together broke in.
In the dining room, seated opposite
one another, with their heads resting
on the table, We're DOrley and his
wife. Ono Of the cocks on the kitchen

Gentlemen. you have been eating a
turkey stuffed with sage, now you VIII

Everybody laughed, and the man i'm
mediately became known as a famous
wag and the mot is highly esteemed

BELLOWS FALLS.
OPENING OF BARBER PARK.
Unprecedented Crowd Present and
Amusements Exceeded Expectations.

The opening of the park on Me-
mortal day was an attraction that
drew an unexpectedly large crowd, and
the arrangements both for transporta-
ton and entertainment at the park
were overrun early in the forenoon.
The new caterer, A. L. Young, had not
prepared for so large a number, and
early in the afternoon his supplies of
nearly all kinds were exhausted At
no opening in former years has there
been so great a rush Country people
from the farms 20 miles back from
Saxtons River began arriving there
early in the morning and, leaving their
teams at the local stables, came to the
park by the electrics and spent the
entire day. The vicinity of the stables
IN the village of Saxtons River and
many of the main streets had the ap-
pearance of a circus being held in
that locality from the. number of
teams distributed throughout the vii
lage after the livery stables were fill
ed. Many of these remained until the.
last car returned from the park at
night, and the expressions of many of
those attending was that they had had
one of the greatest days of their lives.
All of the arrangements at the park
for the pleasure of the day entirely
aqualled the expectations, including
the new electric merry go-round, the
different baseball games, the military
band organ, the Carleton Comedy com
pany in the theatre afternoon and
evening, the dancing in the pavilion at
all hours when the theatre was not in
progress. As an outing place, there
are few if any places of that class in
New England that are making as great
a success as is being made at Barber
park under the present management of
the Bellows Falls and Saxtons River
electric railway.

BURN DINNERS, NOT BUILD
INGS," SAYS GERMAN
SuFFRAGETTE.

"a burned dinner is of far
more value than a burned villa
for convincing Englishmen that
something is wrong" writes
Frau Duerrin, a prominent suf-
fragist of Nuremberg, Germany,
IN a letter advising the British
militants to adopt a household
boycott The letter was made
public by the Women's Social
and Political Union Of England.
The household boycott means
refusal by women to perform
household duties" Frau Duer-
rim explained. You EngIishwo-
men should drop militancy and
adopt this plan. / would even
neglect the children and make
the men dress them.
Let the men get their own
meals, look after the children
and attend to their own clothes,
, and in few days they would
be glad to assume only half the
authority in the household and
give the women half authority
. in politics"

Two Noted Stars Show That the
Life of the Actress Is Not
All a Bed of Roses.

NEW YORK, June There are
other things more to be desired in life
than the career of a theatrical star.
however great the stars magnitude.
The stage is not a bed of roses, you
awe struck maidens must know.
The conclusion is announced almost
simultaneously by two of the greatest
stars, Ethel Barrymore. majestic Eth
Ell Barrymore. and FRITZ Scheff, pi-
quaint little singer.
Miss Barrymore will forsake the
sock and buskin. Miss SCheff rails at
the theatrical world.
"A mothers work and a home is
greater" said Miss Barrymore, to-
day.
Freedom from gossip and I'M
friendly tongues is better" said Miss
Scheff, to-day.
Baby Wins Over Stage.
The mother instinct has steeled the
heart of Miss Barrymore, most be-
loved actress, against her profession.
To-day she said she may appear on
the stage in New York hereafter, but
never will she again take a road tour.
The decision was announced as she
sat by the side of her baby daughter
Ethel, who is Ill from diphtheria in
the Minturn Hospital Miss Barry
more watches night and day over the
child.
"A person never thinks of the stage
in moment like this" she said, pat
ting the hand of the tiny sufferer.
Now, / know that l can never be
away from my home for a single
night
Possibly this means that l will
give up the stage as a career. Ger
tainly it means that l shall never go

on tour again. l will appear in New
York, and then only provided there Is
any manager who will present me
realizing the conditions. / love the
stage. but / love my children more,
and l want to be with them when
night comes, as any other mother
would. | can't do this on the road,
and so the tours must go. l shall not
play even as far away as Philadel-
phia."
Feels Moment Coming.
Miss Barrymore in private life IS
Mrs. Russell Griswold Colt, the most
devoted of mothers.
This moment of decision / felt was
coming" she said. Il knew that some
day l would have to choose between
the stage and my home. Now, the
moment is here, and I gladly say that
there is not the slightest hesitation"
Miss Barrymore's voice did not car
~ the slightest hint that the sacrifice
she is making is great. However. II
is estimated that her actual loss, be
cause Of her refusal TO again go on
tour. will be about $4,000 a year.
The receipts from some of her tours
have amounted to as much as $780,
600 and $780, 600 her own profits, ap-
proximately a fourth OF this, being
500 600 during a successful season
In New York the profits OF a star
rarely net over $4,000.
There will be another home tie for
the great actress this summer.
Another baby is expected IN the
Colt home. Now. there is a son and a
daughter, Samuel and Ethel
Miss FRITZ SChiff, long suffering,
has called a halt on her critics. To-
dav she declared that she has been
for years the victim of misrepresen-
tation and of false report, which held
her everything from a vixen to a
wealthy ninCompOop.
How these reports ever started is
beyond me to answer" she said.
4 am not unreasonable and impos-
sible to manage.
Il am not temperamental beyond
self-cOntrOl
Il am not Jealous Of associates.
y am not irresponsible and un-
trustworthy.
Il am not a wealthy snob. nor am
I inConsiderate of my associates.
The truth is that | am a simple
little woman, with homely instincts.
AS long as these reports were con-
fined TO the profession there was not
great cause to worry But they have
reached the playgoing public. and I
have to suffer. Now I will defend
myself"

mind with emphasis.
