WITH BEAUTIFUL SETTING
"The Rorlancers" Was Presented in an
Open-Air Performance.

Favored bv most attractive natural
setting, Rostand's "The Romancers" was
presented by the Frank Lea Short com
pany under the auspices of the Barre
Woman's club last evening, the lawn OF
Mrs. Isabella D. Smith Of Elm street
having been transformed into theatre
for the engagement. The fair-sized au-
dienee was much pleased with the excel
lent presentat ton of the play.
A most beautiful scene greeted the
audience when three calcium lights We're
turned on the stage, while the moon
cast its soft light upon the al fresco
performance The lawn had been cur
tanned off by a large canvas, and the
streets bordering were roped off to guard
against the noises of vehicles
The story, containing many thrills,
also pictures a sweet love tale in which
the shattered dreams Of two fair lovers
are at last settled in fitting climax.
As Sylvette Miss Kathryn Vincent, in
her charming, vet simple manner, won
the closest attentions and her acting
was one OF the worthy features of the
performance. The role of Percinet, the
poet and naturelover, was well por-
trayed by V. L. Granville. J. p. Mae
Sweeney as Bergeman and Frank How
son as Pasquin, the two fathers, were
all that the characters called for and
they had little trouble in bringing out
the humorous lines which run through
the playlet Mr.. Short himself an ac'
tor Of ability, proved an interesting
character as Straforel. He it was who
produced the fake abduction and who
finally brought the fair maiden and her
devoted lover together again. Miss Eva
Quintard supported the part of the maid.
From the onlookers' view point il was
the most picturesque piece OF stage
work yet given to a local audience. The
production was under the direction of
Russell Janney, who is the general man
ager of the company. From here the
company go to Woodstock, where they
play under the auspices of the country
club.

Putney clergyman was fined recent
ly for riding bicycle on the sidewalk
while returning home from church scrv-
ice on Sunday. In some places it is
punishment in itself to be forced to ride
in the street, so bumpy are the roads;
but, still the sidewalks ought to be re-
served for pedestrians in any town,
However, we fear there are those in
every community who do as the minister
did and vet are not called to account for
doing it. That which happened to the
minister ought to result in drawing the
lines little tighter on all violators OF
the laws and ordinances restricting the
use of sidewalks TO pedestrians and baby
carriages.

 The Missouri senator declared the bill agreed upon should be called "the conferees CapitulationT since in re- moving criminal penalties for various offenses the conferees treated with a monopoly as under a white flag sooth. ing melodies with peace on earth. good will to trusts"
 When the Clayton bill was written .t was a raging lion with a mouthful of teeth. It degenerated to a tabby cat with soft gums, a plaintve mew and an anemic purr It is a sort of executive apology to the trusts, de livered hat in hand and accompanied by assurances that no discourtesy is intended
 Reed insisted the bill is SO emas culated as to repudiate the democratic platform and the presidents wishes expressed in the trust message.
 Members of this congress compar ed with those who passed the Sher man law he added, "are lot of wet nurses as against soldiers on the field of battle with swords in hand John sherman and other republicans were that day fearless in their stand against trusts Their little fingers are srongers than our lions"
