Opera House Manager Had Unique
Idea for the Direction Of lmpor-
tant Stage "Property."

Our Chinese friends would be inter-
ested to learn Of the way foreign dev-
lis" control dragons.
In one of the operas produced at the
Metropolitan Opera house in New
York the inside Of the dragon, which is
made Of canvas and papier-mache, con-
sists Of two small boys who are sup
posed to guide the beasts movements
in accordance with the music. They
are rarely equal to doing that correct
ly, even after rehearsal. A recent per-
formance is stated to have been given
without single stage rehearsal, since
no time could be found for the prepas
ration Of the opera. It was, therefore,
more than ever necessary to have the
occupants Of the dragons inside kept
up to their business. The stage mana
ger decided to install a telephone in
the beast. It connected with the opera
house switchboard. On one end was
the stage manager, and at the other
were two receivers strapped to the
heads of the two boys, who received
from moment to moment directions as
to what they should do. The dragon
under the circumstances covered him.

WASHINGTON, April 10 Should

threaten paralysis of transporta-
ton the federal government would

high administration officials. Tho
strike is not regarded as having
reached that stage however and gov
ernment officers are of the opinion
that the authorized leaders of tht
unions will be able to control the
strike if the repidly spreading strike
resulted in a show down between the
union officials and those leading the
strike. Officials declared that this
was as good a time as any for the
test of strength. President Wilson IS
being kept advised as to developments

ABANDONED
CHILD FOUND
AT ST. J, HOUSE
Chambermaid at Hotel Find
a Healthy Boy that Was
Deserted by Parents

Deserted by his supposed parents
after being alone in a room at the
st. Johnsbury House for nearly "a
hours, fine looking boy about two
and one-half years old was found by
the chambermaid about o'clock Sat
urday morning, who says his name is
Billy Foss.
NJ. G.. Garfield, ovclseer Of the
poor, was at once notified and he
with Sheriff Wolthen and the police
are trying to find the boys parents,
but as yet have run down no clue
Early Thursday evening a man and
his wife came to the hotel with the
boy and registered as "J. +. Martin,
wifi and baby, Cambridge, VT Early
Friday morning the day clerk saw the
man leave the hotel, but it never
occurred to him that he had left for
good. Sometime Friday the woman
left the hotel. The little fellow cried
pretty hard Friday afternoon and
evening, but no one entered the room
as they supposed that the mother was
there. When the chambermaid enter
ed the room Saturday morning the
boy was lying on the bed. He was not
only dressed but had his outside
wraps on as if the parents had plan
ned to take him away with them and
then suddenly decided to abandon
him.
In the room with the child was a
new pair Of child's rubbers and pair
OF new rubber boots for the boy,
evidently very recently purchased.
The man also left worn-out pair Of
lumberman's boots and some old
leather mittens.
Dr. r. 4. Farmer WAS called TO the
hotel and pronounced the child in

little fellow He estimated that he
was about two and one-half years,

Because of the tremendous crush
passengers at times were allowed 10
board the boats without paying.
During the rush hours no teams OF
automobiles were allowed 10 go on
the boats. The space was filed with
sulging humanity.
The city's milk supply is reported
not yet to have been effected by the
strike There was noticeable de-
crease in the size of New York after
noon newspapers. One announced The
strike of railroad men had not ac
centuated the supply of newspaper
that part Of the paper had been
dropped. Several editions were Of
only four pages.
An embargo on express matter was
ordered as the railroad strike gained
ground further tying up freight and
crippling passenger service. Reports
were current passenger embargo
might be imposed.
The express embargo was made Ell
fective to all but New England and
New York state points, Syracuse and
Buffalo excepted. Thus far the strike
has not affected parcel post or other
mail matter. New York city today
found itself facing not only the treat
! Of fuel and food famine but an ac-
tual shortage Of workers. Many
thousands of men and women who
daily commute from New Jersey were
unable to run the strike blockade.

NEWPORT
WOMAN'S
CLUB MEET
Mrs E. J. Foster Speaks
On the Old and
New Songs

The program for Wednesdays
meeting Of the Woman's Club was 4
most excellent and enjoyable one pre-
pared by Mrs. J. f. Foster, secretary
Of the club, who was the hostess for
the day, taking the place Of Ms.
John Morrill,, who is i'll.
Her subject was Old Songs and
New and Their Origin, and gave as
we'll as possible in so brief time a
resume of the several fields of song,
including American Indian, Opera,
Opera, Folk-songs, Hymnology, Pat
riotic and Popular Songs.
Since the days of the creation Of
man song has been the natural eX-
preston of deep emotion, of extreme
JOY o. triumph The songs OF the
Old Testament express praise, re-
ioicing in victory in battle, sorrow
and rcmorse. aFfie songs of the an
clients were either religious or idola-
trous in character"
In the history of hymnology des-
cribed at considerable length We
quote some of the doubts and
fears Of the Puritan conscience re-
garding the propliety of singing n
church. Whether one alone should
sing while others joined only in spirit
uniting in an audible amen at the
end; whether women as well as men,
or only men should sing; whether the
unconcvlted should Join in the psalm
tunes; whether it were lawful to
sing psalms to tunes devised by man;
and whether it was proper to learn
new tunes that were uninsplred. The
Rev John Cotton argued that "ail
should sing with liberty for ono 70
sing a psalm written by himself while
kc church should respond amen If
Akny tune werGNntroduced within 80
upon Sc to-feGTCl 4 decision as to its
fitness, and after it was put to vote. y
Brief descriptions were also read
Of the lives Of some of the most wide
ly known hymn writer's. Brief outlines
were also given of The authors of
many of the PATRIOTS and popular
songs, as well as the best known war
songs of our Civil War and the world
war. Many interesting facts were
brought out of the fortunes and mis-
fortunes of the writer's of songs.
The subdivisions Of Mrs. Foster :
paper were read by several different
members o the club and Mrs. New
lands "girls' chorus sang at inter
walls several hymns, and songs, and as
closing number in lighter vein, Aunt
Sophronia at tie Opera.
