The Thinning Ranks.
(Rutland Herald.)

[hutIanu HefaIu.)
The thinning of the ranks of those
who went south III 1861 has been par
ticularIy noticeable within the year
past and one realizes that taps must
soon sound for the last survivor. The
announcement that but % men of the
$50 who enlisted in Company f of the
18th Vermont regiment are living to-
day brings heart throb to every
Vermonter who has been told of the
hardships of that command.

The encouragement which the new
school law gives to trained teachers is
shown by the fact that OF the class of

der the provisions of the law as it now
stands normal school education brings
direct returns in increased salaries.

eeThe# Hal1owe,en Party,'s a musical comedy in condensed form with nine people in the cast held the head line spot and proved a most enJoy- able number. The troupe is com posed of six girls pretty of face and form. and three boys who tended to the comedy end of the production in a manner that kept the laughs com ing at lively clip from the open ing chorus to the final curtain.

AInuSeLnentS
POLI,S

There Is real all-feature bill at IPoIt's, the last half of the week. At the opening performances yesterday, the big audiences seemed delighted with the program which brought here a galaxy of most entertaining fea- lures.
 The Six Song Birds. in the headline position, won immediate favor. A very dainty song revue, is present- ed by six boys and girls, all of whom are possessors of exceptional quail ities that are heard to good advantage in solos and blend most harmoniously in the ensemble pumbers. The songs are well selected and the offering proved a rare musical treat.
 By far the best bit of eccentric dancing ever seen here is that pre- sented by the male member of the team of Stuart & Donahue.l The skit is 9 tumble of nonsensicality that is Iaughable and serves to introduce happily a real dancing sensation. Sev- eraI encores showed that the audience was nightly pleased with this un- usual offering.
 Edna LubY Company scored a big hit in the comedy play1etss 'sThe Crucial Moment The sketch holds dramatic Interest that is developed to Ea most ludiorolIs and surprising cli- max. A motion picture prologue to the playlet was an interesting novelty.
 Fields Brothers, who have been seen here in ninstrelsy, were very good in their dancing and singing numbers, and Bowers and Saunders, two Winsome misses, won favor with a weH-selected song repertoire. Soretti and. Antoinette, in a European aero battle novelty that furnished laughs and thrills, completed the vaudeville bill in a pleasing way.
 The feature picture is ffve-part fi1Inization of Israel Zangwi1I's "Chi1- dren of the Ghetto featuring Will ton Lackaye and big cast. The pie ture is most interesting. is superbly presented and is a real feature of the program.
