A new and handsomely illustrated Recipe Book free WALTER BAKER 6. CO.. Ltd. established DORCHESTER, MASS. 170O -N i Fine I'erformance of the Comedy, The rich comedy and tender pathos of "Rip Van Winkle" have rot yet lost their charm. Smiles and tears chase each other with the same unceasing procession through the play as of yore, and the In dignation .aroused by Rip's Irresponsible vagabondism7 Is as earnest as the sorrow for his mishaps Is genuine. Immortality Is certainly the part of this tender tale of folk lore, for It goes to a spot that the more Involved discussions of human affairs can not reach. It Is humanity In Us plainest. That Is why people continue to laugh and cry and feel Interested beyond the ordinary In the play. -That is why Thomas Jefferson Is doing a good work In keeping It alive for a generation that did not know his revered father. It la a worthy undertaking. And, after him, will come another comedian of taste who will hand It on, and so It will go on and on, because It contains the elements that will please as long as men and women have hearts to touch and tears to shed. Mr. Jefferson follows his father very closely, feeling that a certain amount of reverential fidelity to the example of the still well remembered master of the role Is proper, yet he gives some little touches of his own personality. Without departing seriously from any of the traditions of the play for It has grown to be traditional In some respects he holds it fresh and crisp as If offered for the first time. But In doing this he preserves the atmosphere perfectly. No effort at moderating It in any way is noticed. His conception of Rip is good and his way of rendering the part is such as gives It in its best light. His parting with his family at the end of tho second act Is especially a strong piece of acting. In drunken dignity, mortally offended by the righteous aspersions of his wife. Rip stands In the doorway and proceeds to prophesy what follows with a gravity that Is almost ludicrous, saving the scene from the effect that would fol low a wlfe'a driving her husband Into the storm under any provocation. His return to his home is almost made an effective bit of comedy. Miss Maggie Moore Is very well cast as Gretchcn. She has avoided the temptation" to make the wife of Rip, a virago, and makes her a loving, gentle helpmeet, whose patience has been sorely tried by a worthless scamp of a husband, who would land In the divorce court In about a min ute In this day. The rest of the company Is well siuated and the performance as a whole Is worthy. The Boyd theater waa well filled last night by an audience that enjoyed the show Immensely, and applauded the work of the actors with great enthusiasm. The bill will run till after Saturday night, with a matinee, on Saturday afternoon. "Are Yon Crasyf" at the Krnar. The musical farce, "Are You Crary," drew a good house Thursday night at the Krug theater. Jack- Freahman, a lawyer, has for his first client a woman, Angelina SmIUiers, who glvea him a large retainer to find her "affinity," She furnishes him with a good description of him and also his photograph. Jack disguises himself and palms himself off on her as the affinity, and the ruse works well until the real affllnity shows up. Many ludicrous situa tions are presented before she discovers the dual character of her affinity. Some good musical numbers and specialties are Introduced during the play. Frank Dam sel and Francis Parr made a hit with their burlesque opera selections, and Mar garet Gallagher did some meritorious specialty work. The Teddy Bear chorus was unique and the singing was good. The play will be repeated Friday night. REV. C. W. SAVIDGE ROBBED none and Bor7 Taken from IlltcU Inar Post In Front of Ilia Residence. Rev. Charles W. Savidge tied his horso In front of, his residence at 8:30 p. m. Thurs day on hla return from performing; a mar riage ceremony. When he caina out at 9:30 the horse and buggy were gone.

Mr. Savidge, "but the thief also stole my Bible, and I think a lot of that. I wish some of you newspaper men would get Into communication with the Lord to day and ask Him to return my property to me.

Fairfield end A. B. Hunt of the Omaha Water company returned Friday morning from a trip to the east, where they consulted with the president of the water company regarding necessary Im provements and repairs to be made to the plant. The company haa Installed four new boilers this year and two of them are Just being put into commission. Work on them was started in February. Repairs and improvements to officers' and employes' houses at Florence are being made, but so far the company has given no orders re garding the construction of a second line of main pipe from Florence to Omaha. Thla Improvement is believed by local offi cials to be one of the utmost Importance, and they hope to have authority to pro ceed with thia work. While company officials are busy talking of improvements and possible extensions the Omaha Water board Is not Idle. There will be a special meeting of the board Sat urday night at the city hall to consider the proposition for a bond issuo for a new water plant. It is not probable that final action will be taken Saturdcy, the chair man of the committee dealing with the water plant experts predicting an adjourn ment until rlext week, by which time the report of the special engineer will have reuclied Omaha. This report was prac. tlcally formulated during the visit of the experts to Omaha last month and the mat ter waa placed In the hand of M. L. Hol man of St. Louis to be put into shape for the water board. It Is expected that the report will ahow a detailed plan with an estimate of cost considerably below that fixed by the appraiser as the value of the Omaha Water company plant. On this report the board will consider the proposition for a bond issue to cover the cost. Twenty days' notice Is necessary for an election to vote on a bond proposition and there will be time enough after next Wednesday to this purpose.
