The heir is the little baby whose arrival brings together two estranged young married people and the Hoorah being a Bonan- za mine out West. In.the béeginning of the play Joe Lacy, one of the part- ners in the Hoorah mine, has gone to New York, and through the designing influence of the girl’'s mother, has married a tender society bud, good enough and all that, but entirely un- dér her mother’s mind, and the hot- hotise training she has had, having once been wealthy. Immediately after the marriage, Joe realizés something of what he is up against, but blames thé mother-in-law—never his wife, for everything. She is shocked at his rough Western mannerisms as she styles them, his speech, lack of so- ciety, training, clothes, in fact every- thing she can find fault with she does, and through Joe’s sincere love for his young wife, mother-in-law is grad- ually getting him whipped, too. It is just after the wedding trip is over and they are ‘back in New York that Joe’'s partners, consisiing of his big brother Dave and Bud Young, from whom. he gneaked away when he got married, also several other Western friends and mine owners, comie East to pay their respects. The appear- ance of these types of wild old West in a fashionable drawjng reom, their mistakes and the scrapes they get in- to form a running fire veéin of the most laughable comedy ever injécted into a Western play. Their super-disgust with Joe and his allowing himself to become so utterly “locoed” finally drives them all to seek solace in strong drink. Joe leaves his young wife and gaes to Burope for néarly a year, and when he returns and the boys are giving ‘him a grand “spread” at the. hotel, he gets the néws of the birth of his leir and then'those raw Westerners go simply wild, and their efforts to! de somethi for the “kid" arevas ludricous as'were their former Aat- lieve that the administration‘af jus-! tice in the night .court would be bet- | ter and fairer if the office of public defender were created and held in equally high esteem with the office of prosecuting attorney. for the state.

Mr. Hata, who spoke English very well, '#aid that he had had no first hand information frém Japan, but that he was certain that this was no time for his country to wage another war.

London, July 8.—The Barl of Sel- borne, president of thé board of ag- Ticulture, in meving in the House of Lords last evening, the second read- ing of the bill which empowers the government to prohibit the slaughter of young stock so as to presérve the meat supply, expressed the eopinion that thé Germans were putting their whole shipbuilding strength irto the construction of submarines. German submarines, he said, were taking a steady toll of British ships, and as the war continued, it was probable that more submarines would be engaged in this task. It would not be the fault of the German admiralty, he continued. if they failed to deal a fatal blow at the carryingt trade which supplies Great Britain with food.

The following officers of the parole board were elected. Chairman, Col- onel Osborn; vice president, Willie O. Burr; sécretary, F. M. Salmon. The report of the directors for the year showed, among other interesting details, that of between 600 and 700 prisoners confined at Wethersfield not o single death has resulted from last | July to the present month.
