GUY BATES POST
 COMING IN MARCH
Extraordinary Play "The Masquerader" at Jeffer-
 son for Three Days

Tremendous interest attaches to the coming to the Jefferson of Guy Bates Post. the great American actor, on March S. 9 and 10, in "The Masque- rader." the greatest dramatic bueeess of his extraordinary career Post has triumphed in this medium in the prin- cipal eastern and western cities for the tralia
 The Masquerader' originally ap- peared in book form and was written by Katherine Cecil Thurston It was one of the most attractive novels O. its period and achieved wide popularity John Hunter Booth made the dramati- zation and he has maintained in the adaptation the same element of sus- pense which did so much to make the book successful.
 The story concerns John Chilcote of distinguished family, rich, a member of parliament and a leader of his fam fly. Unfortunately he is an addict of morphine and begrudges the time he must give to his affairs, particularly when the craving for the drug conner upon him. One night. in a London fog he meets his double. John Loder, who by trick of fate. bears such a strik- ing resemblance that they might have been twins. In Loder the drug addiei sees way to free himself from the world and he plans to change places with him.
 Post plays the dual role a most ex- traordinary ohe, as may be imagined. with tremendous power and subtlety bringing to his interpretations all the shades of his many sided art. The pro- queer Richard Kalton Fully, has pro- vided Post with notable supporting company, including Alice John, Clar. enoe Handyside. Audrey Anderson, Reginald Darlington and others.

RECENT DEATHS
MRS. KATHERINE c. MOORE

Mrs. Katherine c. Moore, who died
at Worcester, Mass, on April 4, was
born in Waterford, October 25, 1852,
being a daughter of the late Hiram
and Susan Hill. Her early life was
spent on the great farm and at the
"Hill Tavern" where in those days the
stage coach lines started in all dircc-
tons as there were no railroad con-
nection to the mountains and outly-
| ing districts. She was educated in the
public schools Of st. Johnsbuly and
graduated from our Academy in the
class of 1867.
She was married August 10, 1870,
to John A. Moore, one of st. Johns
oury's leading business men who for
many years conducted a clothing
store. Eight children were born to
them: John H., now of Pasadena,
Cal, Lillias Ida, Il most beautiful
young lady who died in 1889, Samuel
A., Marion F., wife of DR.. w. B.
Fitch, Hartwell d., all of st. Johns
bury, Andrew B. Of Pittsburg, DR..
Frederick O., and Joseph H. Moore
Of St. Johnsbuly.
In the fall of 1896, the family NOV
ed to North Carolina for MI. Moorc's
health, returning TO st. Johnsbury in
May, 1898, few months after his
death. Since that time Mrs. Moore
has made her home with her sons.
Upon a holiday visit to Worcester,
Mass, to her sister, Miss Ida M. Hill,
she contracted a hard cold. Owing
to previous illness she was unable
to rally from it, pneumonia develop
ing, and she died on Easter Sunday.
Her whole life was one of real low
ing motherhood. She was. devoted to
her family, their cares, their sorrows
and their joys. She was toiler and
lived busy life, but she was never
too busy to stop and cheer one with
tender smiles and loving words. Un-
selfish and true in all her virtues, she
leaves a beautiful and sacred MEM
ory. Those she met loved her; those
she loved worshipped her.
Where'er He sees a smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for faint and vice,
He bears it to that World of Light
To dwell in Paradise.
And ever near as though unseen,
The dear Immortal Spirits tread,
For all the boundless Universe
Is Lifc-Thcre is no dead.
