other countries, which is prevalent
among the Japanese, was another
point. These conditions are doubtless

less easily than any others, and their
literal translations of sentences are
utterly meaningless. ;'.'

PENN1LESS, HE SUICIDES
Vnable to Answer Call of Dying Moth
er In Italy Young Man Takes Life.
Waterbury, Dee. 16. Because his
mother in far off Italy lay dangerous
ly ill as the result of Injuries and had
appealed to him through his sisters to
return to her bedside at once, Fran
cesco Bastone. aged twenty-four years,
penniless and without work or the
means to answer the summons, en
deavored to take his 'life early this
morning. The attempt was made in
the Hotel Heinle on Bank street, by
l. ! inhaling illuminating gas. Bastone

failed him. He lies at the point of
has been able to see more good theatri
cal offerings than for a number of
years and there has been nothing to
compel them to attend those which are
not good. '
This has been particularly trim of
the Shubert theater, the Hyperion. New
Haven has been fortunate enough to
secure such plays as "The Grand Army
'Man," "Anna Kttrenina," "Solomy
Jane," Diverceoons," "Girl of the
Golden 'West," "Rose of the
Hancho" and the vpry fair mu
sical plays, "Mr. Hcgscnhelmer
and "The Tattooed Man." If some
of these have been running In New
York houses for some time at least
they come' here with their original
companies and New Haven car, have
the satisfaction of knowing that they
were being given here as, a form of
entertainment and not for the purpose
of "trying thpm out on the logs."
The first of the season at this house
started off with some very poor pro
ductions, but This list seems to have
exhausted as the great majority of the
reeen pieces have been good and a
number of them exceptionally so. In
many instances it is to be regretted
that a greater number of people were
not abl to see them.
In connectl m with the legitimate
productions' here there is one fad that
has been developed among the audi
ences almost to the stage of a mania
namely, the desire for curtain speeches.
Almost without an exception where the
audience has been a large one It has
given repeated curtain calls until th
star has responded, and the part of
this that is, very nearly amusing is
that the audience Is perfectly satisfied
if it is greeted with the three words
"I thank you'' from the favored actor
or actress.
The small audiences that have at
tended he pf'ay at the Hyperion thea
ter would .se'ehi to indicate that the
Diiblic is extremely fond of vaudeWsfe1
as there have been large ai,,3Wfces at
nearly all the performances at. Poll's
while at certain tlms': tickets are at a
bremittrrtr-w"t? speak. An easy ex
planation of this, of course, lies In the
fact that the vaudeville offered In the
theater is good. A number of the
most elaborate and costly acts, which
only a few years ago were practically
confined . to the vaudeville
houses In the large cities of
the country, have bjn seen
In New Haft en at Poll's theater. Those
who remember the days of New Ha
ven's vaudeville, only so far hack as
the time of the "Four Cohans," will
appreciate how the great improvement
has gone to Increase the popularity
of this form of diversion in New Ha
ven. To those who care for stock produc
tions Mr. Toll has established in his
other house, "The Bijou," a most
excellent company, when the Cost of
sea seats are considered.
Hugh Town, l);c. 13. George Allen
of Bradford, England, who was one of
the three survivors of the schooner
Thomas W. Lawson, which capsized in
Broad Sound, Sciily Inlands, Friday
night, died to-day.
Captain Dow oi the Lawson told a
terrible story to-day of his experience
after being 'ashed from the vessel.
When he found that his ship was driv
ing upon the roeUs and nothing mora
could be done, ho distributed life belts
and ordered the men to .save them
selves if they could. He advised them
to 'climb into the. riggin. which they
did, but the vessel soon broke up. He,
himself, had two hours of awful sus
pense while struggling In the boiling
sea before he was thrown on the rocks,
to which he was found clinging late in
the afternoon; then another two hours
of scrambling and crawling before he
reached a place of safety, where he
found Engineer Rowe. All day long
the two men crouched under the rocks
with-. heavy seas breaking over them

EXrpNSES AT OXFORD.
The Possibility of Their Reduc
tion. An Interesting discussion has been
running in the columns of the London
Times, to which "Some Oxford tutors"
have contributed, as to the feasibility
of reducing expenses at Oxford, so as
to make the road to learning more ca
pacious and less rough for the sons of
artisans and others, who, having much
to learn, are ex hypothesl anxious to
learn- No fear is felt that the advent
of poor men In large numbers would
contaminate students of a richer class,
or In the end lower the intellectual
standards of the university. A notable
occurrence In this connection was the
conference of the workers' education
al association recently held In Oxford,
which gathered from ail parts of the
country some 500 sons of artisans, who
were struck by the. fact that Oxford
semed asleep half the year, and were
also led to admire and even envy its
roominess, "How you must bo able to
think in these big rooms!" exclaimed
these city-bred workers. "We have on
ly been here for a week, and we feel
ourselves bigger men." It Is held by
the tutors above mentioned, however,
that Oxford is no moro a finishing
school for labor than it is for capital
or for fashion It is a finishing school
for learning, and must maintain its
old traditions of culture. At the same
time the feeling is growing that living
expenses should be so reduced as to
ma Ice pract icable "resident ial" or "col
legiate" education for a larger num
ber of aspiring young men. The present
educational bidder, unfortunately,
transmit? to Oxford a-preponderarijii
of rich students, who have set ..it;) an
artificial standard of livi-i" vith which
many people are couten'. and which it
is therefore difficult to lower. It is felt
bv Oxford men themselves that no
economies In Oxford living will come
fret jdgltation from within. Pressure

i If they could -afford it- Oxford. is hot a
