SIGMOND OPERA HOU.SE.
Another well-known success for the Hill Stock Co.
Once again has Manager Hill of the Stock Company proven his progressive- ness by securing the last success of the late Daniel Sully, "The Golden Rule." This play was presented by Mr. Sully up to the time of his death, and met with success everywhere.
The leading character of Father John, which Mr. Sully has writton for himself, is that of a broad minded, kind hearted old priest, beloved by ev¬ eryone regardless of creed or politics. It is a type of character often found in real life, among clergymen of all creeds. A self-sacrificing man who devotes his life to the the betterment of his fellow creatures.
The story, an intensely dramatic-one, tells of a man caught in the maeltsrom of speculation, who makes way with funds not his own. Ana shows now the deserving Father John sees the good that is in the man and saves him from suicide and degredation.
Mr. Sully's original part of Father John will be played by Mr. Hill and Miss Donaldson will appe&r as his niece, Louise Stanley, the wife of the speculator. The speculator, Dick Stanley will be in the hands of Mr. McClellan, and Mr. Osborn will handle the character of Courtney Dale, the false friend, who causea most of the troubles. Mr. Moore will play the comedy jiart of Herman Hauser, the German sexton of Saint Michaels. Without doubt the play will meet with the same success locally that it did elsewhere. And if it pleases, Mgr. Hill will put on another of Mr. Sully's successes, viz: "The Game." 1?
New Automobile L^w
The  new   State officia's   who   have been appointed to carry   out the provi- aiona of the Callan automobile  law for the licensing of chauffeurs,   state  that automobile owners and drivers  gener¬ ally do not appear to have awakened to , the  fact that the law goes into   effect August  1.    Owners of machines   and ! chauffeurs   will   do well   to   acquaint! themselves with the provisions of the | new law. . More than this they   should j ¦end   for   the application  blanks   fort registry to tfae Se;:retary of  State  ati Albany. ' 1

An adv. in the Review this week, from the Sute Board of Health, is of more than usual interest, coming as it does from the State Board of Health, and announcing a "public inquiry to investigate into certain conditions af¬ fecting the public health and the en¬ forcement of the public health law m said village."
