The soule-sOwle Families in Vermont

Researches in the state OF New York
and several western states has convinced
me that there were several branches of
these families planted In Vermont very
carly. | do not include those families
settled in the towns of Dandy, Fairfield
and Alburg; these are accounted for,
Before the long disputed boundary be.
tween New York and Vermont was es.
tablished there were families who
claimed residence in New York who
found themselves in Vermont; hence
suppose many of the Soules were set
tied in some OF the towns not far from
the border. In the census returns for
1850 were found several families OF
Soules whose births were in Vermont;
so some OF the younger members re-
moved 10 the state of New York, later.
Much inquiry has failed to locate the
homes of these early families of Soules
in Vermont; but there were whole nests
Of them there.
Here is family known something
about There were three brothers who
married three sisters Aaron, John, and
Ninal Soules, married Elizabeth, Polly,
and Priscilla Delano. These were prob
ably the sons of a John Soule. They
were associated with Woodstock. VT,
and some were married there and died
there or near there They were con
neeted with the Colyin family. Timothy
Colvin having married one OF the Soule
women and had large fsmily-of whom

Soule were residents Of Ohio. and raised
families there. They probably had
brothers and sisters in the state Of Yer.

MAY SUPPRESS
NORDICA WILL
Husband Wants the Previous Testament,
Which Was Filed in New
Jersey, Executed.

New York, Nov. 27.--George w. Young
has filed objections to the probate of the
SO called second will of his wife, Lillian
Nordica Young, the singer, on the ground
that if she signed the document she was
not of sound mind and that the instru-
ment was obtained by undue influence.
He did not name anyone by whom such
influence was exerted.
Mr.. Young contends the New York
surrogate court has no jurisdiction be-
cause Madame Nordiea was resident OF
New Jersey. The real and valid last
will and testament OF Madame Nordica,
he says, has been filed by him as execu-
tor in Monmouth county, n. j.
This will was executed on July 3, 1910,
and the one offered for probate here
was executed Jan. IA, 1914, on Thurs
day Island, while Madame Nordica was
on her last concert tour. The husband
asks that the probate proceedings be dis.
missed and that a jury trial upon the
objections be held.
In the will filed here Madame Nordica
left the bulk of her property to three
sisters. Ii is stated in the will that she
estimates that 100000 in cash advanced
to her husband is full, or more than full,
share to which he is entitled.

When the Republicans of Massachu-
sets cast about another year for can
didate for governor, perhaps they can
find no better man to make a good run
than Grafton D. Cushing, the present
lieutenant goyernor-elect, who ran way
ahead of his party colleagues and even
surpassed the vote of Governor Walsh,
a Democrat, who was reelected as chief
executive by a plurality of 1875. When
such a vote-getter is available, it would
be foolish to try any more doubtful ex-

Governor Fletcher would have made a
foolish move to appoint any person ex-
cert II. G.. Barber of Brattleboro for at
tcrney general to succeed Rufus +.
Brown in the interval following the ex-
piration of the latter's term and up TO
the beginning of the new term made nee
ccssary by the change in the dates of
the administrative and legislative ma
chinery of the state government. The
interval is TO be merely a month. To
have appointed another would have been
srbversive of the will of the people Of
Vermont, who had elected Mr.. Barber
to the office, the term of Office 10 begin
on Jan. !, 1914. and Governor Fletcher
hardly has the desire and temerity to
thwart the will OF the people whom he is
serving by naming some other person.
Therefore, there is no need of the spe-
cial commentator that is being given
Governor Fletcher in some instances.

From the standpoint of economy in
administration, the merging OF the two
customs collection districts in Vermont
is fine move and moreover, it is not
calculated to affect seriously the eff
cheney of the service. The collections in
Vermont are not so enormous as to de-
mand separate offices, and since the en-
aetment of the present tariff the receipts
have been greatly lessened in each port
of entry. Without doubt the work can
lie satisfactorily administered from
single office located at such fairly CEN
trail position in respect TO the Canadian
boundary as is St. Adams. At the same
time considerable saving in money will
be brought about inasmuch as the emolu-
ments of the two positions at Newport
and Burlington were large.

From far-off Oakland, Cal comes the
report that three American citizens have
been executed as spies in Austria. If
the government tried to run down all
these rumors it would have its hands
more than full, and the result would
have little effect toward reducing the
work of irresponsibiles who send out
these wild stories, perhaps with the de-
hberate intention to poison the minds
of American people against a particular
nation. Such utterly unsupported ru-
mors as that coming out of Oakland de-
serve the lack of attention they receive.

A Striking Miracle Play

"Piiate's Daughter" the miracle play by
Francis L. Kennel, Roman Catholic priest.
was produced last night at the Chestnut Street
Opera House. one of the unique features of
the production is that there are no male char
actars in it.
Apart from the spectacular aspects of the
play, it has Il strong religious appeal-the ap-

to gueh out of the stone prison wall where the
Christian held; a dead child is

tunate stricken mad at the time of the
cruciixion.
Violet de Bcarri takes the part of Claudia
Pilates daughter. in the first act and the role
of later years when the girl has grown to
womanhood, is assumed by Constance MolI-
neauN, who displayed consummate skill. Miss

of sincerity, especially in her eIoquently de-
livered prayers.

Margaret Anglin in Notable Revival

Margaret Anglin is of the really COM
paratvely few great living actresses. one
speaks of great living actresses'-the majority
OF great actresses, of course being dead. The
same Is inevitably true of great, very great,
playwrights
However, Miss Angn is very much alive-so
much that her husband figures in automo-
bile arrests while she, herself, revives play
written by one of the most brilliant men OF
the century, to whom lying in a grave
in Montmartre, has full and deserved
recognition for surprising wit and genius.
Lady windermere's Fam" in which Miss
Anglln appeared last night at the Broad Street
Theatre. is a play OF admirable technique, an
evenings dramatic menu in which every course
is served with tartar sauce. There has never
been n more seductive, a more subtle, more
delightfully."- worldly Mrs Erlynne than the one
presented by Miss Anglin. Miss Anglin makes
that brilliant woman, OF dubious character
really winning. On the stage this type usually
isn't In Wilde's play this woman, tragical in
her life, becomes mother desirous of protect
ing her child. Mrs. Erlynne is perhaps the
most appealing character in the Wilde plays
AS such, Miss Anglin played the part with an
intellectual understanding, artistic restraint
which Wilde himself would have admired.
If Lady Windermere's Fam Is already an
anachronism far upper Fifth avenue or
Rittenhouse Square concerned, its satire
social and human frailty is quite as apropos
as when Wilde wrote it. AS play it is far
superior to the Eugene Walter and Gus Thomas
productions as they attempt to DEAL seriously
or otherwise, with social and other problems.
Miss Anglin's cast Is admirable. Ruth Holt
Boucicault is scintillant Duchess of Berwick.
Florence Carpenter, Lady Windermere,
nsinuatingly captivating While Sidney Green
street played Lord Lorton incomparably, there
have been much better Lord Windermeres than
that enacted by Leonard Wiley. the heralded
Australian star. Mr.. Wiley bit too in
tense-too intense. you know. Altogether Miss
Anglins revival is notable. 1t is perhaps one
of the best If not the best, presentation OF
Oscar Wilde's deectable play.

The main criticism of the play, which has

at half-past and finished at haf-past 10, with
two 15-nnute intermlssions.
Bruce McRae who is a living duplicate in

nounced as a comedy in which Mrs Fisks
finds ample opportunity for the display Of this
particular phase of her genius. Lady Betty,
