Robert Toombs Explains How Accident Occurred.

Bjobert Toombs was down from his home north of Gifford Tuesday and explained how the accident that resulted in the terrible injury to his daughter occurred. The Toombs children were alone at the home and they had taken the idiotgun down to play with. The injured girl, whose age was 11 years, took the shells from the gun and the little t>y ear-old brother put them back in. She did not know it and a-little later held the muzzle of the gun up to the side of her face and asked the brother to pull the trigger, so that she could hear it click. He did so and the guh was discharged’. The shot grazed her face, inflicting the injuries heretofore reported. Her recovery now seems assurred and it is expected when she has sufficiently recovered an effort will be made to perform a dermatology operation and do all that is possible to restore the facial attractions of the unfortunate girl. Her little brother, although only 6 years of aye, is able to appreciate the terrible suffering his sister has to undergo and is very sorry for it all. He can really not be much blamed, for the children were all playing with the gun. It seems that the responsibility rests with the parent who left it iwhete the children could get hold of it.

Several parties have chronicled terrible (hunting accidents during the past, few days, and a word of warning should be said to all hunters. Never leave a loaded gun or revolver where children can get at them; never leave the ammunition where the gun is, and issue to the children the most positive instructions that neither are ever to be touched. These precuatiois will not save all the accidents, but if the grown people will do ttielr full part, then the children will be very much safer. Fire arms in the hands of those who know how to use them are dangeorus enough and in the hands of youths constitute so grave a danger that every parent should exercise every precaution against the children getting hold of them. .

OPERETTA DELIGHTED. LARGE AUDIENCES

High School Scored Splendid Success in Presentation, of “The Merry Milkmaids.” Praise, loud and long, has greeted both the performers and instructors of the operetta, “The Merry Milkmaids,” which was presented by students of the Rensselaer high school on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week. Everyone agrees that it was really a remarkably good performance, one that would have been a credit to a college. We are very proud that we have boys ana girls in our high school capable of such good work. The chorus work was smooth and well balanced and rendered with much charm and naturalness 'by the young singers. Their ease and enthusiasm communicated itself to the audience, who easily followed the rural love story which forms the basis of the play. The enunciation of the young people, whether in chorus or solo work, was excellent, a very commendable accomplishment in amateur performers. At the rising pt the curtain the audience was greeted by a chorus of milkmaids, laderi with bucket and stool, wlho, “up with the early morning,” were on their way to the milking. The distant chorus of farmer boys “haiil the smiling morn” and soon after appear singing to the maids, “forth to the fields we’re marching.” From then until the final “Hail to the Bride,” the scene was one of constantly changing beautiful pictures accompanied by most delightful music. The part of Dorothy, the coquettish milkmaid, was admirably executed by Marjorie Lough qdge, whose duet and trio work was as delightful as her solos. The Queen .of the Milkmaids has an exceedingly difficult part, but they were easily surmounted by the beautiful, flutelike soprano voice of Dura Halleck. The ease with which this young singer did her work has received unbounded praise. Farmer Jim and his friend, Farmer Joe, were sung by Paul Miller and Emil Hanley and well done it was, too. Especial praise is‘due to Farmer Jim’s beautiful solo in .the second act. v , ' “Judge” Honan was one of the best features of the operetta, and every inch of Edward Honan’s six feet was put into his part with most gratifying results. The part of the “Commodore,” a fraud who disguises himself as a beggar, to obtain money without work, was- splendidly done by George Padgitt. His powerful voice and his ease on the stage were a. delight to all.The German doctor, who proves the good angel, although he has to disguise himself as a peddler to outwit the wiley “Commodore”, was very well done by Elvyn Allman. His dialect work was very fine and his songs revealed a sweet tenor voice that delighted his hearers. Mother Monica, the Indian fortune teller, was impersonated by Ruth Wood and was considered one of the best features of the evening. Her tich alto voice formed a pleasing contrast to the many soprano voices. Juanita, sung by Anna Leonard, revealed a powerful high soprano voice, new to many in Rensselaer, but none the-less highly appreciated.

Wllda Littlefield, as Buth, changed the audience with the natural manner in which she sung her solo. Her voice easily lent itself to the rollicking melody of her song. Edward Rose, as leader of the Jolly Gentlemen of Leisure, gave the audience the pleasure of hearing another excellent voice new to Rensselaer. He was ably assisted by his accompanying chorus, Howard York, Dwight Curnick, Worth McCarthy, Paul Healy, Carl Eigdsbach, Laban Wilcox, Cecil Lee and Harry English. The chorus of milkmaids consisted of Edna Price, Catherine Watson, Emily Thompson, Anna Leonard, Orabelle King. Doris Morlan, Wllda Littlefield, Lucille Luers, Luella Robinson, Edith Sawln and Lucy Harris. lone Zimmerman as'pianist was an ,invaluable aid to the success of one of the most delightful and clever entertainments ever presented by the Rensselaer schools. The receipts for the presentation, while grtaifyihg, did not come up to the hopes of those in charge, owing, perhaps? to many conflicting interests occurring this week. All expenses will be met and a goodly sum left toward the Victrola we so much desire, but not enough to purchase the kind , of machine we wish to own.
