THOMAS, Ont., May 27.—The City Couneil has passed a resolution memo- rializing the Dominion Government to withdraw the order deporting American employes of the Pere Marquette Railway. Petitions are being circulated and largely signed to the same effect. The Ameri- cans ordered for deportation say they have been instructed not to leave until escorted to the border. They will take the case to the Privy Council of England if necessary. — A man always has a lot more income ahead when he is tryipg to borrow than the mzn he wants to lend to him.

In the folk play 700 of the townsfolk will take part. They began drilling and rehearsing for the event months ago. The historical accuracy of costumes provided for them is vouched for by the best authorities. Sherborne’s chief claim to historic re- nown les in the fact that it was for a time the capital of the newer Wessex and the center of the one district which successfully withstood the Dane while Alfred gathered his forlorn hope in the marshes of Athelney for the fight.| which made England and all that has since come out of it possible. Three of the eleven “episodes” into which the play is divided are devoted to this pe- riod of its history. The first of these depicts the found- ing of the town by St. Ealdhelm in 705. when the inhabitants of the west had, most of themh, relapsed into heathen- dom. Tn the midst of a hunting scene the saint makes his entrance, accom- panied hy some of his disciples. Dip- ping his hand in the small stream which flows by, he asks its name, and on being told tnat in the ancient tongue it is called Seir-burn—the clear stream -—and is a holy place, he raises the standard of Christ there. “Upon this holy place, by this clear stream and on this pleasant hill,” he says, “I will build a eity and a church. From this holy place the knowledge of the true | God shall spread throughout the west- ern lands. And it shall be known throughout all ages as the place of the clear stream, and unto the end of time its children shall call it Sherborne” INTRODUCES FIGHTING BISHOP. The next episode introGuces the most famous of Sherborne’s Rishops. Walh- | stan, known as the fighting Bishop, and King Ethelwulf's best general. He it was who won the first complete victory over the Danes at the mouth of the Parret He is shown In the full armor of the period, icading a charge against the invading Danes to the ecry of “For God and Home.”, After a terrific hand- to-hand encounter they are driven back Falhstan was not the only fighting Bishop of Sherborne. Between 71 and | the piratical northern hordes. But the folk play would have to be stretched to too great a length to make room for them and their valorous deeds. The third scene presents the most famous figure assoclated with Sher- borne’s history—Alfred the Great. A procession enters bearing the dying King Ethelbald to his last resting placo at Sherborne. He is met by his brother, Ethelbert, and their mother, Queen Osburga. With them is Alfred, at this | English history, They are regular $12.50 Coats on sale for Monday at $5.95 each.

He transfers the Bishopric to Sarum and “exeunts” attended by his knights on horseback and followed by the Bishop, whom he compels to trudge after him afoot to his new billet. FIRING OF THE ABBEY. The next episode shows Roger of Caen, the chief minister of Henry I, lay- ing the foundations of the castle whose ruins supply the stage on which the folk play is performed. The episode which follows, the seventh, presents a striking contrast to those which precede it and is carried out in the Dorset dialect. It portrays a dispute between the parish- joners and the monks which starts in a controversy concerning the erection of a font in the parish church, and ends with the firing of the Abbey by the . parish priest. During the progress of this scene Robin Hood, Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, ; Little John and their retinue are intro- duced and give a morris dance. It will be danced to the original tune, too. The foundation of the almshouse, still a flourishing institution in Sherborpe, by Sir Humphry Stafford and others in the year 1437 forms the subject of the eighth episode. The ninth shows the expulsion of the monks at the dissolution of the monastery by King Henry and the sale of the abbey church. The next illustrates the refounding of the famous Sherborne school and the receipt of its charter from King Edward VI in 1550. The last of the episodes introduces one of the most heroic and tragic figures of Sir Walter Raleigh, whose association with Sherborne is ac- counted not the least of its claims to dis- tinction. It depicts his homecoming with his wife to the castle which had been granted him by Queen Elizabeth. Sir Walter makes some pretty and gallant speeches to his wife, which puts her in such good humor that she fills his pipe for him and leaves him to the enjoyment of the “Virginian weed,” which he is supposed to have first Introduced into England. Then occurs that humoruos in-| cldent with which every smoker is fa- miliar. A servant comes in,and imagin- ing his master is on fire souses him with a jug of ale. Z & WILL INTEREST VISITORS.

But as Sherborne was the capital of Wessex from 860 to 878, it is likely that he did receive his early training In letters ‘there. At all events no other West Country town can advance a better claim to that distinc- tion. As Sherborne was the center of the resistance that checked the encroach- ments of the Danes, it 1s certait that Al- fred must have often been quartered there. Brasses in the Abbey Church mark the graves of two of his brothers who preceded him on the throne—Ethelbald and Ethelbert. DEPICTS MONASTERY LIFE. Briet comment from the chorus fills up a gap of considerably over a century and introduces the fourth spisode, the date of which is 988. It graphically depicts the laxity of life into which the monas- tery at Sherborne, in common with other monasteries, had fallen at that time. The monks are wn d and feasting, Upon this scene enters Bishop ‘Wulfsy III and reads an ecclesiastical riot act to them, denouncing them as a “graceless brood of vipers,” them that “life is short and hell is near at hand” and scaring them into a peni- tential mood in :Lhkh they accept the Cor.

It strikes one that a model of the reform- atory for which the town is so famous might be more appropriate, but that is an unimportant detail. It is hoped that the American Sher- born will send a delegation to the cele- | bration. The folk play will be given on four consecutive days, beginning on June 12. Apart from that the quaint old town, houses, about will be full of interest to American visitors.
