RI-nnY ROGERS AT STRAND

When the debutantes of Park Avenue society rub elbows with the senizens of Broadway's stage sparks are sure 10 fly and hearts are sure io break in one or both of the rival lamps.
 That is the working formula of Arthur Trains notable novel "Illu- lion" and it is also the recipe for ?aramount's all-talking perturbation f the Train opus which co-features Iharles (Buddy) Rogers and Nancy tarroll and which IS at the Strand today and Wednesday.
 The story is fast-moving through sut. Each characterization is clear cut, vivid. The musical interludes which form logical intermissions for he fast and snappy dialog, are eX- teptionally pleasing to the ear.
 ! On Thursday the Strand will offer Dorothy Mackaill in The Great bivide,' an all talking and singing Sitaphone production. The vaude- lille show will present as the fea- nre attraction O'Bri"n's Troubadors, Eleven talented syncopators and ate stars of radio station VEAL.

(By Herald Reviewer)
 Familiarity with that period of history when the power of Napo- leon III was broken by the Bis marckian hosts from Prussia IS helpful to a lucid understanding of The Channel Road" a three act drama which had it's first presenta- ton at Parsons theater, Hartford, last evening. The plot of the play is constructed on events that trans pire while the Prussian military oc- cupy Normandy in France, await ing the payment of separations amounting to five billion francs i'm posed by the Iron Chancellor. The story was suggested by de Maupas- sants "Boule de Suife."
 A group of French refugees from the occupied territory ostensibly bound for Dieppe on business but actually in flight with their world ly goods, and in possession of pa pers guaranteeing them safe pass age through the occupied territory puts up at an inn in which Prus- sian lieutenant and his aides are quartered. The members of the party are separated socially by q gulf so wide that two of the women cannot be reconciled to the presence of a third, whose professional avo- cation is frankly described on her safe conduct papers. The lieuten- ant noting her identification. de- cideS to enjoy an interlude from the vicissitudes of military life. But the woman. a loyal daughter of France and hating Prussians re- fuses to become his plaything The overnight stop at the inn runs into several days, the Prussian officer being determined to have his way.
 If you like the plot, the acting is certain to please. It is smoothly and effectively done. Anne Forrest scores a new triumph in the role of he French woman. Her sangfroii of gaining livelihood are startlingly realistic If the program was not explicit in revealing her name. it would not be difficult to believe that Ethel Barrymore was on the stage
 Siegfried Rumann is as polished an actor as has been seen in these parts in many months. His DOT trayal of Lieutenant Engel is a rev. elation of consummate skill. His work delighted last nights audience II, C. Johnsrud. Edith Van Clevc Selden Bennett and Peggy Conway were excellent in character roles which called for no little skill in acting. William Young was i'm. pressive as a bitter and disillusionet young soldier who has been wound. cd at Sedan. The authors gave him a strong, quiet part to play and he 1 does it well. The ironic reference to the burning of Jeanne D'Arc pu, 1 in his lines in the third act is dra matic construction of high degree. During the action of the drama much of the conversation is carried on in German but this does not de, tract from the interest.
 i Messrs. Woollcott and Kaufman have written a fine story. Upon whether it i5 too fine for the rank and file of theatcrgoers will decid- it's success as a box office attrac. 1 ton.
 The Channel Road" will be re. peated tonight and tomorrow nigh with matinee tomorrow.

HOUSTON IS CANDIDATE
FOR REELECTION
Announcement Follows Statement
BY Ridgely; Indicates Contest

Congressman Robert G. Houston
stated this week that he has tossed
his hat in the ring and is a candi-
dte once again for the Republican
nomination to the House of Repre-
sentatives from this State.
This statement followed on the
heels of an announcement by Chas.
du Pont Ridgely, of Camden, that he
is a candidate for the Republican
Congressional nomination, is the
first definite inkling Of possible
contest at the next G. o. P. State
convention, preceding the election
of November, 1880.
"I am a candidate for the nomina-
ton of Congressman" Mr.. Houston
declared Tuesday. II have already
announced my candidacy among
friends"
Should Congressman Houston be
successful in his efforts to gain the
nomination, he will seek his fourth
term in Congress. He was elected
last year at the Republican landslide
for his third term.
With Both Congressman Houston
and Mr.. Ridgely in the field as Con-
gressional candidates, there will be
considerable interest as to the allot-
ment of offices to the various coun-
ties at the convention. It is already
evident that Kent county and Sus-
sex county will make claims for the
Congressional nomination.

Former State Senator Announces He

Charles du Pont Ridgely, of Cam

can nomination for Congressman.
"I am a candidate for the Repub-
lican Congressional nomination -
stated Mr.. Ridgely, "and have been
a candidate since the last Repubn-
can State Convention.
Mr.. Ridgely is former State Sen
ator having represented his district
in the Senate for four years during
which time he attracted much pub
lie notice due to his far seeing atti-
tude on several important measures
before that body.
Mr.. Ridgely was a candidate for
the Congressional nomination dur
ing the last campaign but when he
learned that it was the desire of
some of the Republican leaders to
give Congressman Houston another
term in the lower house at Wash
ington, Mr.. Ridgely, even though he
had the support of almost all of the
delegates from Kent county, with
drew from the race and made a
speech supporting Mr.. Houston on
the floor of the convention.
Mr.. Ridgely believes that present
indications point towards him again
having the support of practically ev-

live STOCK PERISHES
IN A MIDNIGHT FIRE
Horses, Mules And Cows Burned
To Death At Hollis Farm Early
Wednesday Morning.

Fire, of unknown origin, destroy
ed the large barns on the farm of
William Hollis, just west of Milford
on the Harrington road, early We'd
nesday morning. The blaze was one
of the most destructive to occur in
the vicinity of Milford in recent
years. The fire was discovered by
one Of the Orkin boys about 1:40
O'Clock, and when the Carlisle Fire
Company arrived on the scene the
barn and machine sheds were prac-
tically burned to the ground. Seven
horses and mules and about 18
head of cows were burned to death.
A few heifers and a bull were the
only live stock saved from the fire.
A large quantity of hay was con-
sumed by the flames as were about
five hundred bushels of wheat and
1900 bushels of fine corn on the cob.
A Buick automobile, wagons, large
tractor and other farming imple-
ments were also burned. The flames
spread to nearby straw stack and
this was burned to the ground. The
buildings were among the most
modern in this vicinity and the live
stock was of fine quality. No cause
for the fire has been advanced. Mr..
Hollis was not at home at the time
the fire was discovered, but at nine
o'clock, Tuesday evening, every
thing was alright about the barns,
and there was no sign of fire.

PRESBYTERIANS HAVE
SOTH ANNIVERSARY
First Even OF Series On Celebration
Was Delightful Supper.

The first event of the series in the
celebration of the eightieth anniver-
sary of the First Presbyterian church
occurred last week, Thursday. 1t
