irish atmosphere and. full of Irish
heart-interest. Everyone knows the
great success with which Irish plays

they are meeting with great approval
upon the screen. But no plays can be
successful unless their characters are
chosen with the greatest of care The
two chosen for the leading roles in
The Marriage of Molly o. are a cou-
pie of mighty popular Triangle stars.
Excellent as their characterizations
We're of the French types which they
depicted in the play of the Partisan un-

duction of the Henry Blossom Victor
Herbert comic opera success, with
Miss Ruth WEIGH and recognized cast,
comes to the Opera House Thursday,
Oct 5th from it's long run at the Cort
Theatre, N. Y. The offering comes
with the unqualified approval of
metropolitan press and public as being
the best musical presentation of the

always be depended upon for complete
enjoyment, while Mr.. Blossoms book
and lyrics have never yet failed in
their mission. The story of the opera
relates the fiirtations of Princess
Patrice di Montaldo. an Irish girl who
has married an Italian nobleman. By
her friends she is called Pat, for short.
At house party on Long Island she is
brought in contact with Anthony
Schmalz, an elderly millionaire, who is
about to marry Grace Holbrook. Grace
is not in love with Schmalz, but his
money will bring relief to the depleted
treasury of her uncle, with whom she
lives The husband Of the princess
has drifted from his ardent love- max
ing of earlier days, and to teach him a
much needed lesson as well as break
off the engagement existing between
Grace and Schmalz, she induces Bob
barrow, a sort of adventurer, to lend
his help. The two plot to this end and
much amusement result from theirs ef-
forts. The prince is made wiMlE
Jealous while Schmalz is planning an
elopement with the princess. Everys
thing ends happily, however. as it
should in all comic operas, and each
and every couple are peacefully re-
united at the end of the play. Among
the twenty numbers in Victor Her
bert's score, are such popular songs as
Allies" Make Him Guess" sIfd Like
to be a GUTTER, but Find 1t Hard ~

of Courts Charles w. Jones:
Aroostook County Case
Motion for a new trial is overruled
in the Aroostoolk county case of Mel
bourne c. Smith ct al. VS.. the Bangor
& Aroostook Railroad Co. in a rescript
drawn by Chief Justice Savage:
Aroostook County Melbourne c.
Smith ct al. VS.. Bangor & Aroostook
r. r. Co.
Rescript by Savage, c. ].
1. 1t is the duty of a common
carrier to use reasonable care and dill
igence in the transportation of freight
given to it to carry.
2. What is reasonable diligence by
a railroad company in the transporta-
ton of freight depends upon circum-
stances, and one of the circumstances
in transportation is the perishable
character of the freight, or otherwise. r.
3. When a railroad company accepts
perishable property. such as potatoes.
to be shipped over the line at a season
of the year, when in the course of
nature severely cold weather is to be
apprehended, it is bound to use great
diligence in forwarding the property.
4. A shipper. even Of perishable
goods, cannot require his freight to be
started until the arrival Of a freight
train.
5. But when there were accidents
and delays, avoidable or not, and when
the freight, has lost its regular sched-
ule, and. being perishable, is in immi-
nent danger of being lost, reasonable
care may require carrier to do special
service, and expedite the carriage,
without waiting for regular train.
G. When carrier permitted car
of potatoes to stand upon a siding, in
freezing wea1her, from 80 to 40 hours,
without apparent necessity, or appar-
ent reason, except the waiting for the
arrival OF a regularly scheduled freight
train which might take 1t along, the
Jury was warranted in finding that it
was guilty OF Negligence.
