Stoned Out Os The Villoge —Because she lived alene with her baby son and took no one into her eonfidence, Jane Croft was looked upon by the people ¢ Silver Grook as a thing unclean and indecent. The ‘‘Sage Hen’’, they called her: drove her, with sticks and stones, from the village, WHO SINS MOST —THE WOMAN WHO ERRS OR THOSE V' HO STONE HER? If you admire a woman’s lone fight against narrow minds and sharp tongues then come and see ‘The Sag= Hen”’. ; Like A Tigress She Fights When Her Loved Ones Are Atrtacked. Deep down in every woman’s soul is her feeling fer her hi»ua, her honor, her child. Be she an outcast, with the stigma of an "‘unclean thing’’ to her name this un- quenchable spark of glorious motherhood is alert to burst in flame. In the breast of “*The Sage Hen”’ was the throbbing heart of the Eternal Mother, Bat thoy knew ro* what they dil when they stoned 'her, for she was the whitiest, gamest and cleanest among them. Gladys Brockwell as "‘The Sage Hen’’ is a heroie, tragic figure who will elutch your heart and make it beat like 1 speedometer. The play rises to heights of unsurpassed emotion. It grips. It sways. It holds you spel ound. It is like a swelling symphony of heart-pulling music, whose unforgetable melu.y is MOTHER-LOVE. ' ‘ It is the greatest Compliment to All Mothers.

P OCAL “Voters’’ in the Tribune of yesterday presents Mr. D. D 2 Leon of this town as a prospective candidate for the country in the com'ng elegrions wlinch are now . understood to be fxed for May 11 and | 12th. It is undoabtediy gratifying to | find the electorate dzveloping some inter- | est in their pclitical affuirs and the cam- | paign promises to bea lively one with ' nowninees eropp:ay up bore and there all along. So far as Christiansted Town is concérned there is no doubt that Dr. Canegata should and will be returned, in al; probability unopposad. Despite the fact that the doctor is a professional man always very busy, he has readily and conscientiously given his time to the duties imposed on him by the electorate and without any flattery it may be said of him that he has discha:ged those duties, often unpleasant ones, creditably. In the present campaign, we are, there- fore, not considering Dr. Canegata so much since his re-election is a warranted and foregone conclusion. The country districis leave some field for review and consideration. Mr. Jessen who had not had any political earcer pricy to his now cxpiring term, has displayeda bearing that has won the admiratior of his cen- ctituents and there is no talk but to put bim back as a good man who deserves further chance. We haye not heard n ueh in regard (o the others; Mr. Bergis L nderstood to be opposing Mr. Neithropb, .nd Mr. Jackson Mr. Coulter. It is uodersieo ]l th:t those geutlemen 2re rot interested in lunning again. However, there is time in which the caundidates elect may give the public some eniizghiten- ment as rogards their platforas. The Graduating Exevreises of the Chri:- tians'ed Commercial Night School of which Mr W. Ethelbzrt Messer is Pan- cinal were held last night in the Junior High School Buiiding of this town. The occasion cpened with an inter-stin: and compiete account of the work of the class by Mr, Megser who thereafter called up- on Cecii Fhaire to read bis messuge of welcome which was written in shorthand upon a blackboard. This accompiished, the Assistant School Direcior d:livered -1 appropiiate address and proceeded to distribute the diplomas. Messrs. Geo. Jackson and Thos. Ash then spoke some words of encouragement to the class, congratulating them upon their atizin- ments and urging the members to persevere in their studies. Mr. Me.- ser now expressed his thanks (o those present, his remarks being written in short hand upon a black bcard and read by Oliver Hall. Eleven members received their diplomas.” We desire to congratulate the teacher and pupils in their commendable work, also the Assistant School Uirector who L s backed it up. 1 lireof rain was me surel at the Fort this morning, OFFICIAL NOTES.
