Quaint Comedy Of Present Day New
York Coming Oct. II.

Messrs Lee and J. J. Shubert will
present Rachel Crowthers comedy, 80
East, at the Auditorium Friday eve
ming, Oct H.
80 East is a springtime love story of
New York of the present time. Miss
Crothers' comedy is in three acts and
narrates the story of young girl from
the west who comes to New York to
make her fortune. She takes up quar-
tiers at a fashionable boarding house.
SO East, where only the Chest people,
resort There are very many quaint
and unusual characters in the comedy,
who make it their business to talk of
their past grandeur. As Penelope is
young and pretty many uneharitable
comments are made of her being alone.
Napoleon Gibbs, who is impersonated
by Sydney Blackmer, resides at 80 East
and has "taken a shine to Penelope.
Mrs. DeMailly is the aristocratic
hostess of this boarding house Pene-
lope has not paid her back rent and is
faced with "A notice to leave Napoleon
hears of this and he and Penelope wan
der to Central Park where they have a
| picnic in one of the summer houses.
Penelope confides to Napoleon that in
| desperation she is now in the chorus.
The young people have been seen to-
| gether by one of the boarding house
| gossips with the result that considerable
trouble ensues. However, Mrs. De-
| Maillv turns out better sort than one
might suspect Penelope is saved from
the director of the theatre where she
is employed and all ends happily.

Work Hard and PLAY Hard.

Regular daily relaxation and partic-
ularly relaxation through enthusiastic
hobby riding has the advantage of pro-
noting emotional control, an indis-
pensable factor in the winning of sue
cess. To work hard, to play ardently,
to live decent, hygienic life in gener-
al, sums up pretty comprehensively
the secret of business success. Fol-
lowing this plan, men of only average
ability can and do advance by rapid
stages, while without its aid more bril-
liant men falter and fail.

the Flood on October in Brattleboro;
but as accurately as we can from the
facts which have come to hand, and
from the opinions of men in whom we
have confidence, we think the total loss
will not be far from 100000.
John Henkel and five men in his en-
ploy who were at work in his shop
with no thought of immediate danger
from the flood found themselves
suddenly surrounded by the swell
ing flood and cut off from all hope
of escape except by the assistance of
others. Their cries for help brought
many of their neighbors to the rescue,
and by dint of much hard labor and no
little exposure of life, they were saved.
The heroism displayed by George
Prouty, young man of this village,
is worthy of especial mention. With a
rope, to the end of which was attached
small key, he made his way through
the flood to point from which he sue
ceeded in floating the cask within
reach of the men, by whom it was Sc
cured to the building. BY clinging to
the rope the imperilled workmen then
successfully waded to the shore, though
at least three of them would in all
probability have never reached it alive
but for the exertions of young Prouty,
who seeing their exhausted condition
waded to their assistance and literally
dragged them ashore.
Owing to the disastrous effects of
the recent flood all plans of the pro-
