There will be shorter terms of school this year than m-ivl, not only in Greenfield and in the townships of this county, but all over the state Some persons verv maliciously tried to throw the tilame onto the local authorities when the cause of it is in the decrea.-ed Stata school levy. Formerly it was $ I 77 on the $ 100, but last year it was reduced about a fourh to .$1.37 aud th it largely in

ference. Some local lbvies had also been reduced some. The railroads, it will be remembered also paid in an extra large amount of taxes last year which they had been holding back a few years.

East Lynne as presented by the Frost & Fans-hawe Co at the Opera House was a complete artistic success. The play has been teen many times in Greenfield but it was never produced in such an excellent style as last night. Every member of the company is an artist and every part was well-played. The performance de served a much larger house thau was pre sented. Tonight "The Country Postmaster" will be presented. This play is a loaring farce comedy and will no doubt draw a full house.

THE COUNTRY POSTMASTER

A Humorous PJay at The Opera House. Bloomiugtou World. The Couutry Postmaster was presented by Frost & Fanshawe last night. It is a laughable production, abounding in light comedy.

Miss Mable Frost, as "Cash" was the delight of the audience. She is a charming actress, and her songs and da,nces are new and pleasing.

CONJURER'S TALE OF WOE.

Confederate Produced a Handful of Change Instead of a Marked Dollar. Carl Hertz, the illusionist, was talking of some of the accidents that sometimes j.'oil the art of the conjuror. "It was in Nashville," he said, "that I experienced a roul knock down blow. I was performing the well known trick of passing a marked coin into the center of an uncut orange at least that's what a good many people thought I was doing. I used a silver dollar, and emphasized the trick by passing the coin into the pocket of some boy whom I had enticed on to the stage. "I will openly confess that, the boy had to be a confederate, and that the marked dollar had its fellow in one previously prepared by me. One night, as I was entering the theater, I looked around for a likely youth to aid me in my double dealing. I picked a boy and promised to pass him in if he would follow my instructions. 'I am a conjurer,' I said. 'I want you to put this dollar in your right hand trousers pocket. I'll get you a seat in the front row. When I ask for somebody to come on the stage, you must come. Then I will ask you to produce the dollar.' "The boy promised everything, and, after making arrangements for him at the door, I left him. When I was ready for the dollar trick, I saw my young confederate sitting open mouthed in the front row. I had prevailed upon another member of the audience to lend me a dollar marked exactly as was that I had given to the boy. "I passed that borrowed dollar into the orange, cut the fruit open, and out dropped the coin. Then I went on: 'And now, ladies and gentlemen, I will perform a still more difficult feat. I have passed that dollar into an orange. Now I will ask some member of the audience to step on the stage, and, without going anywhere near him, I will pass the same dollar, marked, as you have seen.iiito his right hand trousers pocket.' "True to his bargain, the boy stepped to the stage. I stepped opposite him and asked: 'Now, sir, have you ever se8u me before?' 'No, sir,' was the answer. 'I have here a dollar,' I continued. 'I am going to pass it into your right hand trousers pocket. One—two—three —go!' "I made the proper magician's pass and smiled confidently upon my audience. 'Now,' I said to my assistant, 'put your hand into your right hand trousers pocket and give me the dollar.' "The boy looked a bit sheepish, but he dived his fist down. Then, to my unutterable horror, h,e produced a handful of silver and said: 'I've only got 90 cents of it left, sir. "I went out in a hurry and took a drink."—New York.Times.
