A SYNOPSIS OF THE PLAY
Harry McGinnis of Ladoga has’ broken into the ranks of playwrights and citizens of the enterprising metropolis of Clark Town■fihip have fond hopes .that Ladoga will soon become known as a second Hoosier Athens. Mr. McGinnis is the author of a Sicilian drama which he will enter in a contest inaugurated some time ago by the manager of the Majestic Theater at Indianapolis. In the hope of developing some new Hoosier playwrights the manager of this theater has promised to stag during the closing week of the present season some of the best plays submitted before the first of April. The authors of the produetions used are to have their offerings staged at the management's expense and are to receive a certain per cent of the receipts. Following the Majestic’s production of these bills the • are to again become the property of the authors, who are privileged to sell them wherever they receive the best
proposition.
Mr. McGinnis’ offering Is a love story with promising possibilities and his friends believe It will stand a good chance of earrying off honors in the contest. There Is an abundance of local coloring and the plot is developed in a skillful and logical manner that gives evidence of considerable knowledge of the technique
of the drama.
The scene opens in England, Herimonle, an English actress, falls in love with a Sicilian of wealth and social position and the two are married. The w’ife has a very dear dear friend in Africa who becomes ill during the honeymoon and with short deliberation she decides that her duty is with him and departs for Africa. During her absence her husband joins Baltoid, a wrecker in Sicily, and falls in love with Maddnlena Stratoris. His suit apparently prospers until she refuses to marry him. He then succeeds in kidnapping Maddalena and carriers her to Bnltoid’s retreat, but her father follows. The wreckers mark a liner for their' preyt. but It happens to be the ship carrying Hermonie, Maurice’s wife, home from Africa. The wreckers are repulsed and the unfaithful husband is fatally Injured. Before he passes away Madalena carries his body to a cliff and casts it into the’sea, where his career terminates. The wife is on the verge of discovering her husband’s relations with Maddalena, when Gasper, a faithful friend of the dead man’s, incriminates himself in an attempt to save the honor of the latter and spend the remainder of his days as a servant of Maddalena.

landscape.
Possibly the Run is too pessimistic for we note, on the othefc hand, that the World is convinced that Mr. Bryan can not carry New York: If that is so, it must follow that some Republicans can win in that State. However, the situation is threatening for the Republicans, and that is enough to know at the present time.

It shows that there are 20,517 pure bred ani-

Farmers living south of Greencastle are planning a large game preserve. The plan is to get all the land owners of a certain district to agree not to hunt on their land for three years. Neither will they allow anyone else to hunt on the land. They also agree to keep a close watch and report any violations of the game laws to the game wardens. The district chosen lies south of Greencastle and includes about 6,000 acres. It is from the Cemetery Road to the east to the Warren Township line. From north and south it is from the Fox Ridge, Mt. Meridian Road to the National Road.

Pedagogues of Greencastle Township Give Banquet to Visitors From Warren and .Marion at Joint Institute Saturday. There was a very interesting Joint institute of Greencastle, Warren and Monroe Townships held in the roms of the County Superintendent Saturday. An excellent program had been prepared and was given in the morning. At noon the teachers from Warren and Monroe Townships become the guests of the teachers of Greencastle Township at dinner at the Palace Restaurant, where a dainty and much enjoyed meal was served. After dinner a different form of program was taken up, being rather for pleasure than in the direct line of study, though instructive withal. Rev. Flynn of Putnamville gave a talk as did Dr. J. S. Hoagland of Greencastle. There were declamations also by Miss Tompkins and Mr. Reeves. The day was a most enjoyable one for all, hosts and guests.
