GRAND THEATER HAS
 "2OTH CENTURY MAIDS''

The "Twentieth Century Maids," with Jim Barton heading the cast, fresh from a tour which included an engagement of three months in New ark during the anniversary celebra- tion is announced as the attra ction at the Grand theater, Hartford, this week. commencing with the matinee performance today. The advent of this company is one that has become an annual event, which is looked forward to by the regular patrons of burlesque, and this season, because of the trc- mendOus favor with which Newark received the organization, it's appear ance here is one that will appeal to the general theatergOing public. The program that is to be presented here will be the same as was offered during the long run in Newark. It com prises a One-act opening burlesQue. During the action of the first part, there has been interpOlated a series of French dances of the day, which are performed by Jules LaBarbe and Airline Dondaire, who are said to be the forem ost of French pantomim- ists. The company and production comes to this city without a change having been made in the cast since it's Newark enga cement. Jim Barton will be supported by many well-knoWn fa- vOrites, among whom are John Barry, Arthur Young, Drena Mack, Nellie O'Connor, Jim Howell. Mike Orbin, Airline Donaire, Jules LaBarbe and the beauty chorus of more than a score of girls, all of whom can sing and dance In addition there is male chorus of picked voices.

 Her grim contempt quieted me as nothing else cOjSI, even though I had suspicion that she was not quite as assured as she appeared.
 l brought a rocking chair into my room, the room which I had given Lillian for hers while she was with US, and we sat there, silent for the most part, each making a pretense of reading, each covertly watching the clock. The old house was very still. Down the hall in her own room Katie vas asleep. She had gone up to her room long before.
 The very air was heavy with fore boding. Just as it seemed that I could not bear inaction any longer we heard a smothered shriek from katie's room, then the sound of her tumbling out of bed, the snapping on of her light, a low groan, and then her feet running rapidly down the hail.
 Lillian sprang to our door, flung 1t open, and met the girl at the threshold. Katie's eyes were wide With fright, and her face blanched with terror. It seemed an effort for her to stand. I pushed a chair toward her, and she sank into it, wringing her hands together, her face working Ccnvulsively with terror
 'Oh somebody dead. Who dead ?' she asked wildly. You no dead, Missis Graham. You no dead, Missis Underwood. But somebody dead, know. Me, Katie, the spirits coon in night and tell me. Who dead?
 She sprang to her feet rocking her. self in the throes of her superstitious old world emotion. Then she leaned forward and grasped my hand.
 "Where Mister Graham? He not como home yet?"
 She must have read my answer in my face, for she dropped my hand, and covered her face
 Den Mister Graham he dead" she moaned. "Oh, poor Mister Graham I nevaire, nevaire see him again.

 Two of my own lost stories have been found by reader friends. The story of the little boys who lived in the packing cases is Freddy and Car rots." The story of the two girls in the closet is probably "The Avenger," by Thomas DeQuincey.
 Also I have received several lost notices to insert Here are two of them:

"UNDER COVER" OPENS
 THE WEEK AT FOX'S

under COver' the great drama which scored such an unprecedented success at the Cort theater, New York, has been chosen by the Famous Play- CTS Film company, as an ideal vehicle for the first appearance of Hazel Dawn and Owen Moore as co-stars in it's productions. This remarkable drama will be the attraction at Fox's today and tomorrow. If you were young woman, born into the smartest set in New York society, if your younger sister had committed a crime, if in order to save her, you were forced to become a secret agent of the United States Customs to aid in the detection of a man who had smuggled a $2OO,O00 necklace into this country-if you fell in love with the smuggler you were compelled to pursue, if it became a choice between your sister and the man you loved, what would you do? This is one Of the absorbing questions that is thrAl- llng1y and dramatically answered in this elaborate picturization Of under Cover.' The stirring elements of this celebrated drama have been woven Into phOtoplay of excitement, mys- tery, surrpise, love and laughter, that is yet not without it's tear. As an added attraction for these two days the Triangle Plays will present Bessie Love and DeWolf Hopper in Strand ed.' This is heart interest story of an actor of the old school. who falls in love with the little acrobat of the troupe, girl scarcely out of her teens. How he labors to make her happy and finally sacrifices her life so that she may marry the man of her choice makes this photoplay, with a theme that is out of the or dinary. The Keystone comedy "Pill of Peril'' featuring Charles Murray and the Paramount Newspaper of the screen "The Photograph" will be the other offering on the program.

Obs. BACCALAUREATE'
Splendid Address to Graduates BY
Rev. Alexander McFerran.

Annual Baccalaureate services for
the graduating class of the Oskaloosa
high school were held Sunday morn
ing, May 9th, 1916, in the Christian
church. The weather was ideal, being
OF just about the right temperature
for comfort, and the seating capacity
OF the church was taxed to its limit.
Sunday school rooms, balcony and al
Coves were filed to overlooking, as
well as the down stairs, and there
we're some who did not get seats, and
still others VINO were turned away.
The church was beautifully deCorat-
ed for the occasion with white lilies
and carnations, and green foliage,
while the class colors, maroon and
black, marked the seats which were
reserved for the class.
They were ushered in, in a body,
after the church had filed with the
audience, and twas a pretty sight, to
see those young ladies and the young
men take their places, to listen to
the message which the Rev. Meier.
ran gave 10 them in his address. The
class members were attended by their
instructors, the principal and the su
perintendant of schools.
Rev. Alexander McF'crran of the
First Presbyterian church delivered
the sermon and it was one of the mic
est addresses of the kind which has
ever been heard in the city. He tool
for his text the words of Jesus whcr
he said, in Mathew Sal, And whose
ever shall COMPEL thee to 90 mile
80 with him twain" Using THE Sec
Ond Mile" as the basis of the discus
sion Mr. McFerran discussed at length
the possibilities of the man or woman
who goes the first mile but who stops
with that, and lets the second mile
go. If the work which lies before yor
requires the second mile, go that mile
and just because Won had planned tt
have the work finished with the
end of the first mile is M
reasonable excuse for the end of thu
Journey when only the first mile ha'
been trodden.
Taking this as basis for the dis
cussion the Rev. Mr.. McFerrai
brought out many ideas for the lives
! of those graduates, and which, If ap
piled, will aid them wonderfully II
their life's work.
The High School Orchestra furnish
ed music for the occasion, and dc
lighted the assembly with its eXcellen
! ! cndition.

A PECULIAR ATTACK
Pressure On Nerve Center MAI es
Clarence Holmes Very Ill.

Clarence Holmes, who lives at 322
North G street, was out in the yard
yesterday about noon, and began feel
ing sick. He made his way to the
house and lay down on the davenport.
The feeling of sickness kept getting
worse and he called to his mother and
sister who went to him. They saw
that he was very i'll, and rapidly get
ting worse, and medical attention was
rushed to him.
The trouble seemed to be of spinal
origin and after pressure was removed
from a nerve center in the spine he
began to get better, and was soon all
right again. Had the pressure not
been removed the result would have
been fatal, for he was sinking rapidly
when medical attention reached him.
Mr.. Holmes is about his work as US,
tai this morning, and feeling fine. The
attack went as quickly as it came,
leaving him perfectly well.
