"Come Back to Erin," which will be the attraction at the Bradley theater, Putnam, on Thursday, Feb. 4. with Mr. Charles E. Mack, the popular and handsome young Irish comedian and Irish piper, with an ideai company of players and an elaborate scenic pro duction, is an attraction of a kind that cannot fail to please the most conservative theatergoer. The story of the play Is of double interest from the fact of its locale be ing in America a.-? -well as In Ireland. It deals with a young Irish-American mine owner from Arizona, named Dil lon, who is paying a visit to the birth place of his parents, located on the shores of Killarney. He is made the guest of a Mrs. Burke, who was an old friend of his parents, and for their sake all the neighbors endeavor to outdo them selves in giving him a good time. On the eve of his departure he de clares his love for one of Mrs. Eurke's daughters, who, though File recipro cates his affection, refuses to go to America on account of her mothers advanced age. Shortly after his return he receives a letter from his sweetheart saying that through a brother of a friend, she had learned of a -oung Irish cavalry sergeant stationed in Arizona named Burke who had fallen Into disgrace. She imagines that it is possibly her brother, who may still be living, and renuests Dillon to enquire. With the help of Dillon, the young sergeant Is vindicated, restored to his regiment, promoted, back pay allowed, and a long leave of absence granted to visit his home. Dillon and Burke land in Ireland to gether, where the young sergeant is welcomed home by his mother, sisters and neighbors, and Dillon hippily mar ried") his sweetheart Sheila amid the good will of all the allagers.

Solvency, strength, growth, econo my, and a complete exhibit of affairs, are the factors of corporate manage ment in which the members of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company have chief concern. Takin into account the adverse conditioni that have obtained, they count them selves fortunate in certain achieve ments in 1908, which tell their own story. These are the matters ti invite spe cial consideration: Earning of the dividend returned to members in 1908, and the continuance of the same gen eral scale of distribution in 1909; a large mortality saving: marked in crease In interest earnings, in premium income, in total income, in gross as sets, in ledger assets, in new business over the amount written in the pre vious year, in the total amount of in surance in force, in surplus (due in chief to the recovery in the market value of bonds and stocks over the previous year), with a small ratio of lapsed poller?, the usual economy In all expense's, and the sale of a consid erable body of real estate, taken under foreclosure, which proJueed a small net income, and its conversion Into more productive assets. The following are the figures that denote some of the elements in the company's current growth and pros perity: (rain in premium income, $224,449.44; in total income, $269,588.97: in interest earnings, $83,007.48: in gross assets, $2.6.rV6.719.r)6; in ledger assets, $714. 3K6.r,8; in new insurance over 1907. $1,330,640.48: in total insurance in force, $3,778,792.48; In mortality sav ings. $179,797; in surplus, $1,843,371.87.

Boston Transcript. IMPORTANT CAME SLOWLY INTO PORT, TWO TUGS ACTING. AS RUDDERS American Line Steamship St. Louis, -24 Hours Behind Schedule Mishap 1,200 Miles East of Sandy Hook. New York, Feb. 1. -The American line steamer St. Louis, which lost the two lower sections of her rudder in the heavy seas twelve hundred miles from Sandy Hook, reached her dock late to day, about twenty-four hours behind her schedule. She steamed in by her twin screws,. at reduced speed, and two tugs acted as rudders for her coming up the bay. There was no excitement among the passengers after the accident. They were kept in ignorance of the mishap until Friday, when a bulletin was posted in the saloon explaining the cause of the ship's slow progress. Capt. John C. Jamison said he and his first officer were on the bridge on Thursday afternoon when they noticed something had gone wrong with the steering gear. An unusually heavy sea had been running for hours, and the big ship's rudder was often out of wa ter as she dipped and tossed. "We slowed down and by looking over the stern gunwales, as the stern would life out of the water, we were able to make out that the two lower sections of the rudder were gone," said Captain Jamison. "After the acci dent we kept a uniform speed of fif teen knots, steering with our propel lers, and except for the resulting loss of time but little inconvenience was experienced." Captain Jamison said there were storms and unusually rough weather ail the way across. The St. Louis made a circle in mid ocean to adjust her compasses just before the accident happened. It will be necessary to dr-dock the liner to repair her rudders. Permis sion' was obtained from, the govern ment authoritiesNo use the Brooklyn navy yard drydock. It is likely she will be taken there after her cargo has been unloaded. MIDDLETOWN HIGH SCHOOL Not Large Enough to Accommodate Classes. The members of the Middletown board of education have practically decided to call a special meeting of the voters of the. city school district to consider whether it is hest to erect 'un addition to the present high school building at a cost of between $25,000 and $30,000 or to refuse tuition to non resident pupils and keep the present building as it is for the sole use of city residents. The matter has been agitated for some time and has been been ma.de more acute by a communi cation from Secretary Hine of the state board inclosing a report from Prof. Judd of Yale, who examined the school last year. First of all Mr. Hine says that the school Is approved for non resident tuition purposes for the cur rent year, and secondly, that they recommend that the accommodations at the school be enlarged and that a proportionate tax for the support of the school be raised in te city. CREDITOR HAD BEEN WORRIED. Over-Sensitive About a Debtor Who Took His Time to Pay Up. "Well, thank goodness, there's one man I can meet now without feeling uncomfortable," the man said. "How's that?" asked his compan ion. "Did you owe him money and settle up?" "Just the other way around," said the first speaker. "He owed me a small sum of money for more than a year. "I met him a great deal, and ser eral times he dunned himself about the money, but he never paid. After awhile I got so I didn't like to meet him, because I felt all the time he was going to say to himself: T owe this, man money and he knows I ought to pay and still he doesn't like to remind me.' "Absolutely It got so I would go blocks out of the way to avoid him. I felt that he felt he never could men Hon spending money for anything when he was in my presence without my feeling that that money ought to have gone to pay the debt he owed me. "Maybe he didn't feel that way about It at all, but I felt that way, and now I'm glad he has paid np, so that in this detail at least I am com fortable In my mind." 8NAKE SCARED THE EMPLOYES. Poisonous Reptile Among the Archive of Portugal's Peers, Some time ago It 'was reported In the press that while workmen were searching for certain documents in the archives of the house of peers Bey era! snakes appeared from among the dust-covered volumes. The panic-stricken employes imme diately fled, and absolutely refused to return to such a dangerous occu pation. The presence of the snakes has never been accounted for. Recently, however, all the docu ments were carted to the underground archives of the ministry of the In terior. Recently it was reported in the press that while the documents were being sorted out a flat-headed snake suddenly wriggled out, biting the em ploye on the lip. It then disappeared among the piles of documents. Half an hour later the man died in terrible agony. The body turned black and was horribly swollen. Notwithstanding the government of ficials' entreaties, all the employes re fuse to descend to the archives. Busyness the Refuge of Small Souls. Extreme busyness is a symptom of deficient vitality; while a faculty for idleness implies a catholic appetite and a strong sense of personal identity. There are dead-alive, hackneyed peo ple about, who are scarcely conscious of living except in the exercise of some conventional occupation. Bring these fellows into the country or feet them aboard ship, and you will see how they pine for their desk of their study. They cannot be idle. Their nature is not generous enough, and they pass in a sort of coma those hours which are not dedicated to furi ous moiling in the gold mill. When they do not require to go to yie office, when they are not hungry and have no mind to drink, the whole breathing world is a blank, to them. This does not appear to me as being success in life.
