LIBRARY NOTES

The coming ChautauQua will present
as one of it's attractions the play by
Charles Kennedy entitled ''The Ser
want in the House." Wherever this
play has been presented it has attract
ed much attention.
ALI the scenes are laid in the vicar
age occupied by the Rev. William
Smythe. The Vicar is much disturbed
by an odor which is so noticeable in
his church that the members of his
congregation refuse to attend the ser
vices and it seems that new building
Is the only remedy. He appeals to his
brother who has been living in India
for many years and has become fa-
nous as the Bishop of Benares. The
Bishop of Benares is known through
out the world for his deep piety. He
writes the Vicar that he will arrive On
a certain day. On the same day the
Vicar expects his brother-in-1aw who
Is also a Bishop-Bishop of Lancast-
shire. The Bishop of Lancastshire is
a man thoroughly imbued with world
ly ideas. He loves money and all
things material and had utterly ignor-
ed the Vicar until he became prosper
GUS. Mary the young niece of the
Vicar lives with him. Her father, the
Wears brother, was so dissipated and
irresponsible that after the mothers
death the Vicar took the little girl
into his home and learned to love her
as his own child.
On the day the Vicar is expecting
the two Bishops he employs a drain
man to examine the drains under the
vicarage. This man, Robert Smith, is
revolving in personal appearance be-
fitting his task. The Vicar recognizes
him as his outcast brother, the father
of Mary. His first thought is to con-
ceal the truth from Mary. In a short
while Mary meets the drain-man and
in her childish way tells him that she
believes in wishing and that she wishes
above all things to see her father.

ten to this and c1ings to her wish.
The play centers in the new butler
from India who is the Bishop of Be-
mares who has disguised himself as a
servant that he may understand the
situation. The beautiful spirit of the
man is at once evinced by his kind
treatment of his outcast brother and
the little girl.
The Vicar returns from early ser
vice having had no congregation. The
Bishop Of lancashire arrives He
has worked out g. scheme for the new
building. He proposes to use the name
Of the Bishop of Bsnares to raise the
money.
The drain-man comes in and an
nounces that in exaI.ining the drains
he has followed one along filled with

ed by his nobility of spirit insists on

little girl puts her arms around the
drain-man and says she knows he is
her father because OF his beautiful
spirit. The Bishop of Senares makes
himself known to his brothers and
orders the Bishop of lancashire to
leave the house.
The play is Of curse symbolic. The
impurity permeating the church and
driving the people away symbolizes the
materialism and wordliness in the
church which kills the spirituality
The Bishop of Benares typi1es the
spirit of Christ that would uplift hui

FAILED TO PROVE A
FRAUD IN TRANSFER

Wimbledon News: James Collard
must pay the Royal Elevator Cos.
judgment of $1,000 according to the
verdict rendered by Judge Coffey of
the district court at Valley City on
Tuesday.
The suit was brought by the Royal
Elevator Co. and others against James
Collard and Anton Fried. The plain
tiffs endeavored to prove that the
transfer of land by Collard to Fried,
some four years ago and some two
years ago, was made for the purpose
Of evading the farmers creditors and
that it was fraudulent. The court held
that the transfer Of land was valid.
and just, but that $1,000 which Mr..
Fried still owed Mr.. Collard on the
land, was to be paid to the Royal Ele-
vator Co. to satisfy their judgment.
This comes as a rather hard blow
to Mr.. Collard, as he has had a streak
of hard luck the past few years and
1900 is a big item with him.

London, March 24-The British air
raid on Hoboken, near Antwerp, where
the Germans are constructing sub
marines and another threatened effort
by the Germans in Flanders and heavy
fighting in the Carpathians, are the
outstanding features of the war news.
Five British airmen, starting from
Dunkirk, participated in raid on tho
submarine yards but only two reached
the mark. Two of them were obliged
to turn back owing to the weather and
the third landed in Holland because o.
engine trouble and was interned.
Works Set on Fire.
According to the admiralty i've sub
marines were damaged, and the works
set on fire. Prior to the war this
plant was known as the Cockerill
works and belonged to British COM
pany. When the Germans captured it,
workmen from Germany were brought
to build submarines and no Belgian is
allowed to enter. ~.
Preparing for Attack.
Dutch frontier dispatches say seven
German airmen attacked the British
raiders but were outfown. In the same
region it is reported the Germans are
preparing another supreme effort in
Flanders. Already there has been con-
siderable fighting along the User, the
Germans having bombarded Newport
on the Dixmude.
Battle Progressing.
A big battle is progressing between
Dukla pass and Uzsok pass in the Car
pathians. It is indicated it is likely
to continue some time. a.
The Austrians have developed a
fresh offensive in Bukowina to which
territory they some days ago sent re-
Inducements, have driven the Rus
SLAMS back toward the frontier and
have removed the immediate menace
to Czernowitz. On the other, extreme
wing of the eastern front the Ger
mans have re-occupied Mcneil. They
Nhave checked the Russian advance on
Tilsit.

should and must put forth our best en-.
beavers in the propagation, care and
growth of natures resources.

The figures shown in the estimates
for the Congregational church relat'

correct as published in the Friday
Times-Record, but the bid of the Val

not include the price of the Johnson
control. This item amounts to $488
which would bring their bid within

estimates were close all around and
the local firm can be congratulated
on getting the work at the right price.
