ASHES ON THE STREETS.
People, who have occasion to drive
about our streets a good deal com-
plain that a good many, householders
carelessly strew ashes on the- road-
way, much to the inconvenience of
teamsters. When a . well -loaded sleigh
strikes one of these ash heaps it) is
often difficult to move it. A little
thought on this subject would no
doubt result in another line of action.
LENTEN PASTORAL.
Bishop Williams has issued his
.Lenten pastoral to the people of the
Diocese of Huron, and makes a strong
appeal to all for°close observation of
the
season. Men, he rots o
out, o , a ro
prone in these ese days to •measure them-
selvesnot by Christ, but by the cur-
rent standards of personal, social and.
business morality, and think that
they have done all they were expect-
ed to do when they have achieved
equality with their neighbors. His
lordship urges the need of retrospect
and repentance.

Richelieu Presented Success*
fully by a tdocal Company..
Richelieu, the play put on in the
town hall by a local Company, under
the auspices of the Citizens' band on
Thursday and. Friday of last week,
was an unqualified success. On both
occasions the hall was well filled
with an appreciative audience, The
play was 'a very heavy one fur ama-
teurs to attempt and the fact that
theresult was so satisfactory re-
flects great credit upcn the abilities
and the perseverance of the members
of the company.
Mr. F. 3, Howard, as Richeneu, in-
terprc'ted'-that± •cha'racte,r with. rare
skill, showing not only his natural
ability as an actor,but a deep and
intelligent studyof ther
role, as
he
depicted the sternness, the softness,
the: keen far-sightedness and the noble
patriotism of that many-sided char-
acter with sympathy and power. The
audience, the greater number, of whom
were more or less familiar with the
personality of Mr. Howard, ,forgot
hint entirely and only saw the aged
Cardinal, growing weak in body
but still strong and •vigorous in mind,
keen and resourceful, undismayed by
the knowledge that he was surround-
ed by foes, conspired against by those
whom he had trusted and repudiated
by his weak and fickle sovereign. It
was a dramatic moment and showed
Mr, Howard at his best, - when the
king's messenger; who bad come to.
summon his ward to the palace, was
defied by Richelieu and he drew around
the shrinking girl the magic circle of
Holy Chureh, daring the 'wily Count
de Baradas,to cross it.
The acting of Miss Stella Copp, as
Marion De Lorma, spy to Richelieu
1 was very graceful and her stage
'presence was extremely pleasing.
1 Mr, A. Conliff, as De Reringhen,: was.
a graceful and polished courtier.
! Mr. Edgar East, as an offiicer. and
1 spy ' in Richelieu's service ; Mr. T. .
Mackenzie as a stalwart Captain of
the Guard., and Mr: W. Jeaeson as
Secretary of State, are all worthy of
mention for the excellent rendering of
their parts.
Wilbur and Fred. Ford, as let and
2nd pages of Richelieu, won much
praise from the audience for their
clever and natural acting, especially
the fernier, whose part as Francois
s
was Considerable. His g
boyish race
Y
was much admired, and , his natural'
talent had some play on two orthree
occasions as, for instance, in .the last
The pa'r't of the King Was well sus-
tained by Mr. R. A. Downs, as was
also the role of the Duke of Orleans
by Mr. Bert Frernlin, `
The • realistic .acting of Arr. J. B.i
I•Ioover, as the Count dd-Baradas,
and something of a villan and .a plot-
ter;' was: much admired, and kept .the
•interest oI the audience throughout.
Dr. F, A, Axon,, as Adrian de Mau -
prat,. an officer in the French army,
and lover of Julie de Morteniar, ward
of Richelieu, who had carne under the
disfavor of Richelieu and had - been
forgiven or allowed - to go upon •"sus-
pended sentence," as it• were; •. was
particularly strong. 'When summoned
to appear before Richelieu, who had
just discovered, by the way, that
his ward loved .him, he talked with
the reckless ;defience of . a man - to
whom life. no ,longer bolds out any ,
hope. Ile was:. severely scored - by
Richelieu • and . sentenced to death ;
was sent to. . the tapestry room where
he should -"meet itis executioner,"
but where Julie - had been sent only a
few moments before. The scene :was
strongly dramatic. when the lovers re-
filmed, and 'kneeling at the feet of
Richelieu -receivedhis a blessing.
7`lie.part 'of Julie, an •extrernely dif-
ficult one,: and one calling. for r
1; g. eat
dramatic., power, was very well sus-
tained by Miss Deverell.
Mr. J. H..Kerr; had a rather dtlfi-
ctilt role in the portrayal: , .. of .the.
'character of Joseph,• -a Capuchin; and
a confident of Richelieu; . It was diffi-
cult in that he was • upon the. stage
so- great a. part. of the 'time with
comparatively 'few lines to speak.
Mr. Kerr interpreted the character of
the .meek and pious priest in a sing-
ularly clever manner, however, which
was much -appreciated. -
In. Interpreting Richelieu
Mr, E. J. Howard is seen at .
his best.
scene when: the king is becoming
aware of the plotting . and counter-
plotting of his .courtiers and suppos-
ed friends; ,Francois enters and pre=
sents Richelieu the, document which
he had,tfelled in the Met place to se-
cure, and• whioh• it iplicates both De
Baradas and the -.Duke of Orleans in ;e
piot against the life of Richelieu, arid
also of the king.- -•The make-up of the different. charac-
ters was exceedingly good, . The play
lostsomething by the lack of scenery
'and stage -setting, but ..this deficiency
was over collie as- far as possible by
the re -arrangement of tele -' furniture:
'Much- 1 thecredit -
o or the success
f e e
of the play should bo given- to Mr E. •
.,J. Howard, to when tireless - efforts .
is nodoubt clue, to a. large extent,
the high standard: of excellence to
which the company has . •attained.
Much,.credit is .also . due each metober.
of the company for their painstaking
application to the work in hand. .As
a whole they are to becongratulated"
on • the possession of so much talent,
and no less upon their perseverance in
the cultivation of that talent, • " The
play :was; all right,
One of our. Hotel -keepers said to me that
Tinto Hotels would be enough for Clanton; • . -
presuinablg his ower andl another.''
T. Cooper in moving for License Reduction,
By, a, unanimous vote
the towno
council Un
Monde nig-ht imposed a fee
of fifteen dollars on vendors of cigar-
ettes. The resoliitioii was introduced
by Messrs.. Cooper and Paisley.
Without opposition the clerk was al•,
so instructed to prepare a bylaw re -
clueing the number of hotels. A sub-
sequent motion that the number be
reduced byone hung fire fora time
but eventually went through without
any recorded opposition.. Bothe, mo-
tions were fathered by Messrs: Coop-
er and Paisley who are outspoken
champions of Temperance and Moral
Reform....
In speaking to the. motion Council-
lor Cooper said that.. a majority of
62 the citizens bad declared in favor
of license reduction and 'majorities
should rule. Towns all over the
.Province are cutting on licenses end
the majority of our Citizens say, ' we
should take similar action. "In dis-
cussing the matter," added Mr. Coop-
er, "one of our hotel -keepers said to
inc that two betels was enough for
Clinton, presumably meaning his own
and another.", --
The following• resolution means, in
short, that the town constables are
to take an active part in suppresshig
the illegal sale df liquor and that
in doing so they ere to have the cor-
dial support of the council:
l:saisley-41eacom-That, whereas it
has tome to the knowledge of ':.this
Council that certain bylaws of the
town and sections of the Ontario and
Dominion Acta have not received the
attehtion of our Constables that the
bylaws require and their importance;
deemeds, we hereby call the atten-
tion of the constables to the fact,
that unless the provisions of these
are strictly and Impartially enforced,'
that this council will consider their
immediate dismissal. 4
