Grand Opera House Tonight

The Columbia Stock Company will
open their weeks engagement by
presenting the great play, THE Wo-
man of Mystery" one of the best of
high class comedy dramas, picked
out of a list of forty different plays.
1t is a well written play, perfect
blending of pathos and comedy,
high class, very dressy and beautiful
play, depicting as it does the love OF
a mother for her son, and showing
the wonderful power of that love
and the sacrifices that the mother is
willing to make for the happiness of
her son.
The star role is in the hands of
Miss Stella May. The play was
written for Miss May some years ago,
and fits her amazingly well, besides
giving her an opportunity to wear
some elegant gowns. The comedy is
in the hands of Mr.. Kralce, who will
no doubt be remembered from his
good work here last year.
The Columbia Stock Company is
the only company presenting this
great play on the Eastern Shore this
season.
The Columbia Stock Company Is.
as you well know, a good Show. SO
let's give them good big house to-
night, just to show that We are, glad
to have them with us again, and also
to prove that Cambridge knows a
good thing when they know it's good

Kent County Must Pay

Chestertown, Md, Oct. 21.-An
important decision was given in the
Circuit Court for Kent county last
night in the trial of the case of John
Gale Usilton versus the County Com
missioners for work done under the
direction of the road engineer. This
was test case in which over S.
600 was involved.
In the last year of Engineer
Gibbs term of Office he issued orders
for work exceeding the 20 per cent.
levied. Suit was brought on one OF
these orders and the court decided
that the county was liable for this
debt. For six years the salary of
! the engineer was paid out of the road
fund, which the law said should be
expended in roads and bridges. The
court held that inasmuch as the en-
gineer was State officer his salary
should not be paid out of the road
fund.
w. w. Beck and S. S. Beck repre-
sented the plaintiff, while John D.
Uric appeared for the county.

Big ConAagration
This Afternoon
Cambridge Auditorium, Strauss, Eiseman &
Co.'S Shirt Factory, MarveI's Boarding
House and Deans Stables Completely
Destroyed

Cambridge was visited this after
noon by the second large conflagra-
ton in two days. The one last night
destroyed property valued at $1O,-
900 to $4,000; the one this after
noon has destroyed property worth
from $4,000 to $4,000. The build
ings destroyed include the Cam
bridge Auditorium, the fine, large,
brick shirt factory of the Strauss,
Eiseman & Co., the large boarding
house of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Mar
vel, and the livery, feed and eX-
change stables of William L. Dean.
The fire was discovered at twenty
minutes after three O'Clock, having
started somewhere in the front por-
ton of the Auditorium. The Column
bia Stock Company was opening an
engagement of one week in the
building tonight, and fire had been
started in the furnace for the pur-
pose of heating the building, and it
is believed that the fire started from
this. On account of the building be-
ing very inf1ammable it burned rap
idly, while being hedged in close to
other buildings, the firemen had diff
ficulty in getting access to it. The
flames just fairly leaped from one
end of the building to the other, and
in a few moments it was a seething
mass of flames. The flames leaped
from it to the Strauss, Eiseman fac
tory, and while the Fire Company
kept streams of water running on the
buildings, it was simply impossible
to prevent that building from catch
ing, there being only about 12-foot
alley between them. After the shirt
factory caught fire, the flames leaped
to the Marvel House, which adjoin
ed it, and it was soon doomed; in
the meantime, the stables of Mr..
Dean had caught.
The efforts of the firemen were
then directed toward keeping other
buildings, C. ]. Hnry's tailor shop,
Meekins Bros store, and all of the
buildings on Poplar street, from
catching, and in this they were sue
cessful. At about quarter to five
O'Clock it was believed that the fire
was under control.

LIE FEVER MEMBER OF
BOARD OF EDUCATION
Former Principal of The Cambridge
High School Appointed to Della
ware State Board of Education by
Governor Miller. =! ~,

Governor Charles r. Miller has APP
pointed Charles H. LeFevre, Esq. of
Smyrna, to succeed Henry Ridgely,
Esq, of Dover, as a member of the
State Board of Education. The ap-
pointment meets with the hearty ap-
prevail of the public, as Mr.. LeFevre
is unusually well qualified to serve
as a member of Delaware's State
Educational Board, having had con-
siderable experience in educational
matters.
Mr.. LeFevre graduated from
Franklin and Marshall College in
1893 with the degree of Bachelor of
Arts, and in 1896 he received the
Master of Arts degree upon the COM
pletion of special course in mental
and moral philosophy. He served as
principal of the public schools at
Hyndman, Pa; Smyrna, Del; Flem-
ington, N. j.; Salisbury, Md, and
Cambridge, Md, and is therefore
very we'll versed in the school laws
of the four States as well as being
familiar with educational work in
general. He was admitted to the law
corps Of Delaware in April, 1905,and
since then has practiced his law pro-
fession in Dover. During his term
as Prothonotary of Kent county, he
was appointed Clerk of the Supreme
Court by Governor Preston Lea.
