SQUAD
CANNOT SCARE
:. This ARTIST

One of the most sensational pro-
grams of vaudeville ever given in this
city is promised at the Bijou theater
commencing next Monday evening,
when Hugard & Company open for a
limited engagement. Hugard is her
aided as "Australia's greatest magi.
eian," and. according to his advance
notices, he and his assistants are as
full of new and novel tricks as the
proyerbial dog is of fleas.
1t is difficult to imagine man fac
ing firing squad and giving the
command fire" after a select com
milton which is supplied by the men
behind the guns The loads are
marked and the men shoot and the
bullets almost pierce the heart of HUI
gard. However, whether the heart is
one of stone or whatever it is, the bull
lets drop to the floor and he is unin-
jured An examination of the bullets
then finds them to be warm, while
the same is true of the shells in the
rifles. Some folk may think there is
trick in this and possibly there is.
Hugard is noncommital on that point.
However, it is done, and it is some
thing sensational and brand new to
Honolulu. .@ -.
A musical program that is also
new and novel will be rendered by
this company and the bill should be
one OF the best ever brought to this
city. Reserved seats are now on sale
at the Biiou box office. ..".~..

.GRANDMAPENS
A BURNING LOVE

Ralph Kellard, male star in Her
Mothers Secret" is hero as we'll as
a star, provided the stories that come
to Honolulu relatiyerto this handsome
young chap, who is now entertaining
at the Hawaii theater, are in a small
percentage true. Kellard confesses
that he has been the recipient of
some three hundred written proposals
of marriage. He tells this story on
himself: ~ .... a 49,
1t happened in Hartford, Conn. Just
as Kellard was leaving the theater,
having closed an engagement, he was
handed a special delivery letter that
was the mama of all the three hun
dred and several of which he boasts.
He admits that only lack OF time de-
tanned him from making the acquaint-
ance of the divinity who could pen
such an epistle.
A short time later Kellard, this time
in Springfield. Mass, met a young
lady from Hartford and asked if she
knew the author OF the letter men,
toned in the preceding paragraph.
She "opined" she did. Pressed for fur
ther information she stated that the
lady OF the letter was upwards of 20
years of age. Richard laughed and the
young lady blushed when told that
the Adonis Of tie movies had received
a burning loveIstter from the 7C-year-
old grandma o. the young lady her

Booming New England.

The booming New England" plans ought to have their effect this summer in bringing new people to this section of the country. Some real advertising has been done, and the mere fact that widely circulated newspapers have commented on the booming has given a considerable degree of other notice to the states hereabouts. There will be few people going abroad this summer and the bare fact that New England, making no special efforts, didn't do quite as we'll last summer as she OK. pected may be all the more reason for expecting a good season this year. The people who went to other sections last year may all the more desire to view New England this year. There is more money in hand to be spent in 1916 than there was in 1915. The San Francisco exposition is no longer on earth. It seems likely to he q fine season with New England resorts; and they can unquestionably deliver the goods if the people come. Norwich Record

LAKEvILLE'S GOOD WORK
President Kane's Story of His Assoeia-
 tion's Doings.

As an object lesson in achievement. for the consideration of other "snnM towns" we commend the follow ing narrative, written by President Viii liam Kane, of the Lhkeville BusineeH Mems Association, for the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce \ Bulletin for May:
 I've have been working and work ing hard for improvements in Lhkc- vile, such as free express delivery md improvements at our railroad stat Sun, and l would say here that the railroad company always met us in a friendly way and carried out all the improve ments and even more than we asked.
 Backed up by our association, Lake vile has spent more than three thuus- and dollars (S3, 900. 00) for cement side walks, which is n very great improve ment. In order to get very bad piece of road i'll our town improved we Ocn- tributed two hundred and fifty dolsars t$25O.OO) and the improvement was made to the satisfaction of all.
 Last summer we started publicity campaign and after making our plans
 
 plan it would cost us uuite an amount. We raised and spent about seven bum dred dollars tS700. 0o;l this was all con- tributed by our townspeople.
 We also took up the work of having our streets oiled and this cost us ninU hundred dollars ($9OO. DO, this rnousy was raised through the efforts oR our association and all bills paid by them
 Our town never has had a public sewage system and SO the matter was brought to our attention by some Of Car people and we were asked to see wbnt we could do to have one installed. The president appointed Ii committee of 1.-Two from the members oi our association to investigate the matter When this committee went tu work they found that before they could present it to itse fire district for the voters 10 considur. they would have to find the cost This could not be done without employing an engineer to make the survey nud give Us an estimate Hs to the cCat. Then came the money question again and so we went to work and raised tho sum of nine hundred dollars (S90o. oo) to pay for the engineer services, plnns and specifications.
 "The cost of the system is TOw figured at S45, ,oo0.00. This we thought too much for the fire district to assume so we went to work to raise some of tho amount by asking some of our largest property owners to contribute. Lu bhis way we raised nine thousand dolinrs tS9, 0O0.00) and the State school for Feeble Minded Children gave fiftean thousand dollars tS15, 0o.) Sa finally when we presented the matter to the fire district for action, it wns unanimously voted to have the sewage system installed. This cost lots of hard work besides the money bua we feel sure it will be worth more than it cost to our town.
 The Lakeville Business Men {, As. sociation have given much thought to the matter of our highways the through their efforts to have them put in shnpo. some of the worst pieces Ot road in town have been improved to the delight not only of our own people hat also 60 those living in surrounding towns.

COWS POISONED
Paris Green Fed to Aliens Herd, With
 Fatal Results.

From the herd of COWS belonging to James Allen, of Ashley Falls. five are already dead and three others critically sick as a result of poisoning. A horse belonging to MT. Allen refused to eat its oats, Thursday morning, and ex- animation showed that paris green had been sprinkled in them.
 MT Allen first noticed that mum Der of his cows acted Queerly last Thursday and soon Dtcame violently sick, suffering intense agony. Four ot them died that night and another a short time later.
 Dr. Corwin. the Canaan veterinary. was summoned, who treated the re. maining sick COWS and held post mortem examinations on the dead ones, in which he found poison of an arseni cal character, which may, on chemical analysis, prove to be paris green. The poison is in the hands of chemists whC will subject it to test to ascertain def. nitely it's nature
 The case bears every evidence of malicious poisoning by some person o1 persons actuated by motives of enmity, revenge, spite or pure devilishness, and the state police of Massachusetts are working on the case.
 The fact that pound package of paris green is missing from its accus' toned place in the barn, and the pres ence of that poison ill the horses feed, gives rise to the suspicion that some body we'll acquainted with the prem ises, had entered the barn, appropri ated the poison and administered it tc the stock. It is not known that Mir Allen has all enemy-at least al enemy of such vindictiveness and un scrupulousness as revealed in this cowardly performance, and it is to bt hoped the guilty party will be run tC earth and justly punished.

DR. JOHN BEEBE PRESIDENT
South Berkshire University Club Meet,
 Eat and See Pictures.

Dr. J ohn B. Beehc, of Great Darv :rc- ton, was elected president of the South Berkshire University Club. at the an. nual meeting and banquet Friday eve- ming. held at the Miller House, Great Burlington.
 The annual affair was well attended, as usual delightful, as usual; the sup per served by Landlord Crofut was ex- celent, as usual. and Q delegation of Canaan members were present, as usual 50 there was nothing lacking to make the occasion a complete success Pres. jdent s. B. Buck presided during the supper, and the Clubs choir sang vari- ous college songs. After the supper the party repaired to Walker Hall, where Mr. James Barnes, the distin- guished traveller, explorer and author, and director of the museum of natural history, of New York, gave au intensely interesting and instructive lecture, illustrated with moving pictures of wild animal life ill America.
 The pictures were taken by MT. Barnes and two companions, on trip across the continent of Africa in 19l3- II. They were equipped with mov- ing picture cameras constructed specially for the expedition. and the plctlres were made under difficulties, many of them at extreme persona! risk. They show every animal ever seen in a zoo or circus menagCrle. and q whole lot of species never dreamed of by the imaginative designers of the most tiamboyant circus posters, from the whangdo, @ to the fillilloo bird. TT e were immense herds of elephants, zebras, gIraffes, gaze Hes, antelope, rhinoceros, hippopotami, Cor potamusses, if you're fussy about gralnmar;) bab- oons by the acre, ostriches, snakes as big around as a saw.log and as long as a freight train, crocodiles of mOnstrOus proportions, birds of many species and sizes, and innumerable other species of wild life.
 They showed the lion ill his native lair, aud portrayed the thrilling details of lion hunt by party of native hunters which stirred the spectators to high pitch of excitement from the moment the black hunters, armed only with spears, surrounded the king of beasts until they had despatchei him after he had savagely charged upon them. It was a rare and edifying picture show. and even Walter Prichard Eaton applauded it.
