The prosaic side of life will be for
gotten, and childhood's dreams will
be lived over again by witnessing the
coming production of "The Wishing
Ring. The musical extravaganza
will be presented at the Opera House
May 10 and 20, under the auspices of
the Congregational aid society.
'eThe Wishing Ring" is really won
derful play and many of the features
are so novel and delightful that it has
fairly taken its audiences by storm.
In many ways the production suggests
the "Bluebird ''of Masterlinck, in which
Tyltyl and Metyl are the children who
fare forth in search for happiness,
as represented by the Bluebird. In
two acts and five scenes the audience
is shown the wanderings of little Jean
and Allan in the land of Fairies. All
the familiar persons of that realm are
portrayed by genuine modern drama
tization ~sas. Y :
The dancing of the Nymphs, Roses,
and snowdrops, with their filmy, flow
ing costumes in varigated lights, is
the quintesence of grace and charm.
But the comedy work, stage bust
ness and dancing, delightful as they
appear, are only Incidental to clever
story wei told. Prices SO and 75c.

As we walked toward the Biltmore
several people noticed 1t and glanced
over their shoulders. one man
watched 1t go by with an expression
of longing tenderness.
At the top OF the stairs in the
foyer of the Biltmore a bell boy saw
us approach. His eyes became fixed
on the bottle, and as we walked past
him his eyes followed, until finally
he lost his balance and nearly fell
over. Then he resumed his accus-
toned position.
After being overlooked by one traf-
&c patrolman and two policemen we
went along 43d Street toward Broad

observing types OF New Workers.
Bellboys had hitherto won first
honors. but now the taxi drivers came
into the race. They turned from their
cars without exception and marvelled

Next we went into the Commodore
and walked through the lobby as
though looking for some one. A dig

OF the forbidden contalner. hastily
adjusted his eyeglasses and stared.
Bellhops glanced casually at it, but
without much interest.

FAVOR PUBLICATION OF THE
STACKER LIST.

That the members Of the MIXERS
burg Post, American Legion, are in
favor of publishing the list Of slack
ers, is indicated in the following let
ter, which is reproduced:
Millersburg, KY, June 2.
Editor THE NEWS:
we, the members of the Millers-
burg Post, American Legion, wish to
state that we are in favor of the pub
Hcation of the Stacker list. We an
preciate the fact that the names Of
a few men who don't belong with
the goats will be on that list, but
now is the time for the innocent to
be cleared of any such charge, AMI
for the past the time when all
slackers should be convicted.
I'VE believe that any man whose
name appears on that list, and who
doesn't belong can clear himself In
the eyes Of the public through the
press. And isn't this a better time
to clear him of such a charge than
forty years from now would be?
I'VE don't know how you are on
this subject, but we know how we
stand, and the Legion is behind us
one hundred per cent. strong.

CLAYSvILLE VISITED BY DISAS.
TR0US ERE.

The coIored suburb Of Claysville.
near Paris, was visited Tuesday at
teTnoon by conflagration which des-
troyed ten homes and other property,
entaiiing loss Of about $4,000.
The blaze originated at the home
OF Louis johnson, where a coal oil
stove exploded, setting. IRE to the
place. The flames spread rapidly.
All the houses in the vicinity being
of frame construction, readily fell
a prey to the fire, which ragged for
several hours, until about nine homes
had been laid waste. Four of the
houses burned belonged to James
Macon, colored, proprietor of a pool
room on Main street. One of the
houses was said to have been valued
at $1,000.
The total property loss was esti-
mated in the vicinity of $4,000,
with insurance covering probably
one-fourth of that amount. The fire
started at about three o'clock, and
had gained considerable Roadway
before the arrival of the IRE depart
ment. The iremen were greatly
Handicapped in their work by the
lack OF water, which was available
only from few small cisterns. Most
of the furniture and personal effects
of the occupants were saved from the
flames.
