AMUSEMENT NOTES.

1t is evident from the class OF plays
now being given at the opera house that
we have with us dramatic company OF
more than ordinary merit. An unusual
ly strong bill was presented last night
by the Knickerbocker Stock Co. The
thrilling dramatic situations were re-
lieyed BY good comedy scenes. All of the
cast did so well that it would be hard
to offer any criticism.
Tonight an entirely different sort Of
play is offered. 1.-Two Americans
Abroad" It is intensely patriotic from
the arrival OF the American war vessel,
the Brooklyn, to the climax of the last
act where the American sailors rescue
the fair inmate OF an oriental harem.
The costumes are unusual and beauti.
full from an Eastern point OF view, es-
pecially those worn by Miss Yoder, the
leading lady. Eugene Murphy, himself,
plays the part of the American naval
officer. His dauntless patriotism and
ringing speeches never fail to bring
forth rounds OF enthusiastic applause as
referees are made to the superiority of
American institutions. On account of
the band concert the performance will
be little later in starting than usual.

BOY HIT BY AUTO.
Mother Tainted Away at the Sight of
Her Sons Danger

Bennington, Aug. I2.-CeciIe Moon, a
boy Of 0 or 10 years, was hit yesterday
afternoon by car owned by George NJ
Hawks and driven by William Cone. at
the corner OF Main and Silver STREETS.
The boy was taken to his home on
Union street by DIR. Frank j. Hurley.
The physician made an examination and
found that the boy had sustained no
fractured bones, but the extent OF his
injuries could not be fully ascertained.
Some of the spectators said that one
wheel of the car passed over the boys
body.
When the boy screamed Manager John
B. Harte of the Library theatre, who
had just opened his office for the after
noon performance, rushed from the
theatre and picked up the child Dr.
Hurley was going west over Main street
at the time of the accident and at once
took the boy into his car and carried
him home.
Mrs. Moon, the child's mother, must
have seen the accident or have recog-
nized the child when he was picked IN
from the road. She was so Frustrated
that she tainted in front of the theatre
She was at once taken into Mr.. Hawks
car and taken to her home.
The Hawks car had stopped in front
of the Adams Hardware store lust be-
fore the accident. 1t backed across Main
street in order to go over Silver and had
travelled but few feet when it struck
the boy.

PRICES FIRMER IN BOSTON.
Owing to Bullish Outside Influences
Receipts Slightly Smaller.

netclPls SilRhlAy 5HldicI.
Boston, Aug. 1.-THE local butter
cheese and egg markets, although moi
quotably higher, are firmer, owing to
bullish outside influences. The receipts
OF dairy products during the past week
or so have been slightly smaller than
they were for the same time last year,
but inasmuch as the demand has not
until recently been particularly brisk,
prices have not changed great deal.
The fear that supplies next fall and
winter win be small, owing to the for
eign wars. is the cause of the present
strength Of prices.

Burlington, Aug l2-The drought

thunderstorm yesterday morning during
which lightning struck the steeple OF
st. Joseph's church, splintering one OF
the supports of the small tower above,
then passing to the belfry proper, where
two supports and the ceiling were some
