One of the many attractions at the Breed theater last evening was the big picture entitled A Pair of White Gloves, and this interesting story of thieving in high life was portrayed in @ very capable manner, the various characters being peculiarly suited to the parts assigned to them, and the costuming, with the wealth of tropical surroundings in the background make it a picture of great beauty. Much of the spirited action takes place in the swell cafes of Paris and not the slight- est detail is overlooked. The big west- ern picture, Children of the Plains, met with instantaneous favor, and the entire picture from the first en- trance of the pioneer wagon to the last roundup of the cavalry, when it eaptures the Indian abductors, was closely followed. Many other fine pictures were stown, among them being The Bur- lar’s Mistake, The Wooden Indian, he Chaperons, and The Rubes and the Bunco Men. Mr. Delaney sang with much feel- ing the pathetic New England song, Yown Our Way, winning flattering ap- plause, as did Madame Morelle with her fine concert song, The Return, by Harrison Millard. At the Roderick. Desplte the nain, good sized audienc- e were the rule at the Roderick to witness the change of pictures and songs. The Miner's Wife was a film that attracted especial attention, be- ing full of thhilling climaxes. Dr. Hercules’ Power was a most funny pieture, winning rounds of applause. ‘here are several fine pictures besides these two. i Miss Heffernan is singing Stop Mak- ing Faces at Me in her usual charm- ing manner, while the beautiful song, With You in Eternity, was rendered by Mr. Dudley with faultless expres- sfon and in excellent -voice, and he was obliged to respond to the well- merited encore, PLAYGROUNDS POPULAR. East and Northwest Sections of New Britain Need Baseball Field. The playground at the East street school, New Britain, this summer, will be managed by the Sunshine soctety. The Burritt school playground will be conducted by the clvic department of the Woman's club. Two lots for baseball are needed, one near the East street school and | one near the Polish school, as it is felt that the playground which Mayor Landers so generously donated is a trifle too far away from both of these points, There is a large yard adjoining the Northern school. It is possible that the Commonwealth club may establish & playground there to take the place of the one which last year it conduct- od at the Rockwell school, but which will not be avallable thjs summer ow- ing to the building operations that will in progress there, Judge Not. A story is told In despatches from an Indiana town of a woman who sent her lover to jail 20 vears ago for stealing her ring. It develops that the ring has been found where the young woman lost it, and the twain, cherishing deepest resentment these 20 years, now have become reconciled. One oannot but think of the heart- burnings and travail of.soul caused by the impulsive act of the woman; of what might have been had she not vielded to the passionate impulse to punish a suspect, Twenty years have been virtually wasted for them both. They might have entered into a happy married state and become the parents of a family, Judgment hag fallen heavily on them because the biblical injunction to “Judge not that ye be not judged” was ignored. The woman misjudged, and created immeasurable unhappi- ness, not alone for the man, but for herself, in consequence. It is a hu- man trait to cry “Jaccuse” when we feel ourselves to have been wronged. Greater temperance should be exer- cised in such contingencies. Holding to a stubborn idea and refusing expla- nations has caused endless grief in this worldagWe should be less ready to condemn without a hearing.—Pitts- burg Post. Cause of Misery. Here is an observation from Car- lyle: “All misery is faculty misdirect- ed—strength that has not yet found its way.” This is undoubtedly true. All suffering and failure can be traced back to one getting out of the true rath. It may not sometimes be one’s -ult. Ignorance or environment may fotervene and lead us astray. But all wrogress consists in one finding the true way of one's strength; to see that the faculty is rightly directed. Finding this path is the end of kriowledge and civilization. This means doing the right thing physical- 1y, mentally, morally; obeying God's Jaw, that's it; that's all there is to it. That is what keeps the strength and faculty intact and makes life worth living. The perfectest mortal is the one whose facuity is rightly di- rected and whose strength has found its way. It is that that makes the true, manly, useful, happy life; that makes the life last longer a keeps it sweet and wholesome while’ it lasts, =Ohio State Journal Motor Cycle Letter Carriers.

In a sawmill on a portion of the battlefield at Spotsylvania Courthouse, Va. a few dayvs ago the saw came in contact with a solid cannon shot, which had been fired into a large pine tree, evidently on the day of the bat- tle, May 12, 1864.
