The popular comedy drama, "Fogg's
Perry," is the attraction for tlie re
mainder of the week at the Jacques,
opening-the engagement with a special
matinee this afternoon. Show-goers
will "not need special endorsement of
the play, as it has been before the
American public for thirty-eight years
and always won approval. It was
In this play that Minnie Madden Fiske
and Lizzie Evans first made their fame
as stars, and Miss Evans is still win
ning laurels with her original creation
of Chip in the principal role. l'aco
has been kept with the progress of
years, of course, and new and timely
features have been added iv briuji it

The Hanlons make their annual visit
to Waterbury on Saturday evenin?.
presenting their splendid production of
"Superba" at Poll's. Without new j
features each season "Superba," of '

In order to keep it ever new and at- j
tractive the Hanlons extrcise their ;
marvelous ingenuity unceasingly. !
This season, it is claimed, they have
Invented some novel and startling me
chanical surprises which are as amus
ing as they are mystifying, and there
are some' new specialties likewise
' which will command favor. The most I
conspicuous of these, perhaps, is
Charles Galletti's wonderful troupe of
monkey actors which made such a big
sensation at the Paris exposition, and 1
which, it is said, do almost everything :
only talk. This is a thoroughly amus- j
ing feature, as well as one ol prolouna
interest. The sale of seats opens to

"BROTHER OFFICERS."
' The Empire Theater Stock company.
Which gave such a splended perform
ance of "Lord and Lady Algy" two
weeks ago at Poll's, will play a return
engagement there on Monday evening,
presenting "Brother Officers." The
play, which concerns life in the Brit
ish army, is from the pen of Captain
Leo Trevor, an officer in that army,
and had a remarkably successful run
' at the Empire theater last season. Cap
tain Trevor was with his regiment in
South Africa when the play was first
produced in New York. It is his first
play and has served to put him on the
list of those English dramatists whose
works are waited for by the importu
nate managers, always cn the lookout
for novelties of value. The cast pre

A DARK ADVENTURE.
.1 Vol
Midnight Wanderings of a Man
Who Had No Matches.
a
V.'as Sober aa a. Judge, Vet Hla
Friends In sinuate That He Moat
. Have Beam Under the Influ
ence of Vile Llqoon,
Mr. Norton, an exemplary Chicago
bachelor, tells the story plaintively
with an apologetic air. He sa3-s he
doesn't expect anyone 4o believe him,
only it is rough on a man of his age,
who has always led a blameless life, to
have every one ask him what brand he
drank when he completes his tale and
waits for sympathy. ,
For years he has boarded at the home
of Mrs. Sanford. So popular did her es
tablishment become that she finally
moved into a double house to gain more
room. Doors had not yet been cut
through connecting- the houses and the
roomers assigned to the second house
went in a different, entrance. Mr. Nor
ton in the shuilie got the front room in
the second house and Mr. and Mrs. Rus
sell the third room, the rest being- ten
ant less. The Russells were away on a
visit when Mrs. Sanford moved her
boarding house, so the first night Mr.
Norton was to be all alone in his glory.
When he came home to dinner the
landlady gave him a doorkey and hoped
the arrangement suited him. Mr. Nor
ton went out directly to play whist with
some old friends and did not get back
till midnight.
He got upstairs in the lonely house
all right and pulled out his matchbox,
which never in his life is allowed to go
unfilled. Every match was gone, and
he remembered he had dropped it on
the flocr at the card table and probably
spilled the contents. It was pitch dark
and raining- hard outside. With his
umbrella still tightiv clasped tinder his
arm Mr. Norton began feeling alorg
the walls for a chance matchbox. He j
found the mantel and knocked over sev- j
eral mysterious things that crashed, j
Ke found pins and tacks and everything- :
but matches, for a strange room is hard j
to feel at home in when it is midnight ;
blackness. Still feeling his way Mr. I
Norton moved out into the hall until j
he cilculated he was opposite the door
CURTAIN FELL OX HIS HEAD,
of the Eussells' room, evidently open,
for beyond he could see a faint light
such as comes at night from an uncur
tained window.
"Russell!" he called, to make sure,
"anybody in this room?"
There was no answer and he
stepped in to pursue his hunt fot
matches and fell down the back stairs-
This acrobatic performance left him
rather dazed. There were no broken
bones, though the umbrella still un
der his arm came out slightly bat
tered. Painfully he clambered up
again to the second floor and tried
to get his bearings. He shuffled slow
ly along till he found the end of the I
hall, where he knew the bathroom
was located. The window shade was
down and he jerked it to let it up.
With a crash the whole thing came
to pieces and landed on his head.
There was a flash of lightning at the
same time, however, by the light of
which the bewildered man saw on
the wall before him a big match
safe bulging with- matcnes. This so
cheered him that he did not mind
n little thing like a curtain roller on
his aching cranium.
He almost dared to walk rapidly
back to his room and eagerly struck
a match.. It refuse.- to light. Ha
struck another feverishly. It followed
suit. He struck six in a bunch and
nothing happened. Then it dawned
on him.
They were burned matches!
Mr. Norton was speechless. He laid
down his umbrella, which he had cher
ished ihrongh all the vicissitudes oi
the adventure, climbed out of his
clothes as, best he could and crept
into bed, mad, disgusted, tired and
headachy.
In the morning when he woke up
he saw there was a matchbox within
arm's reach, fully a foot long accord
ing to him brimful of fresh matches.
Also there were matches in a china
dish on the dresser and a whole box
ful in the Tiathroom.
. Still, says the Chicago Daily News,
he doesn't see why his iriends take
the disturbing attitude so general
whenever he relates the story.

Years ago in California a traveler was 1
on a stage coach that a pair of bandits ,
went through. The 14 passeng-ers were I
all made to get out and stand in a row,
with their hands high over their heails. i
One burly ruffian stood guard over ;
them with a double-barreled shotgun, :
while the other engaged in the pleasing ,
task of relieving them of their valu
ables and spare cash. This particular
traveler was nearest the man with the
shotgun. ! I
While the ceremonies were in i
progress his nose began to itch, and j
instinctively he started to lower one
hand to scratch it. '"Hands up there!" j
"I'LL. SCRATCH IT TOR YOU.-
came the stern order, and his hand
went automatically back into place.
But that itching redoubled and again
he essayed the relieving scratch. "Say,
what's the matter with you, anyhow?"
demanded the highwayman. "Are you
wishing to become a lead mine?" "My
nose itches so I can't stand it any long
er," tearfully explained the sufferer,
"I simply have got to scratch it." "Xo,
you hain't," ungrammatically correct
ed the knight of the road, "cause I'll
do it for you." And with that he pro
ceeded to scratch the offending nasal
ora-an with the muzzle of his shotgun.
FROM A DOCTOR'S NOTEBOOK
In Hamburg the rate of mortality
from cancer rose from 71.63 per 10O,
OOO persons in 1S72 to 97. S2 in 1S2S.
Careful inquiries made in Poly
nesian islands, in New Guinea and
Yest 'Africa indicate that , typhoid
fever does not occur in those regions,
but seems to be a by-product of civ
ilization. In his new book, "The Care of the
Child in Health." Dr. Nathan Oppen
heim warns mothers against feeding
children with "pungent and aromatic
spices, preserved, pickled and desic
cated- articles."
Dr. James Barr expresses his opin
ion in the Lancet that antipyrin,
phenacetin, and acetanilid do a great
j deal of mischief in typhoid fever, and
ore wholly unnecessary for any ether
disease.
Dr. Roux has an article in a Lyons
medical paper in which he recom
mends as a simple but effective cure
for a cold in the head pouring cologne
on a handkerchief and sunffing up
the fumes two cr three minutes re
peatedly as soon as the first symp
toms are noted.
Dr. William MacCrepor writes in
the Lancet that for years he
never saw a case of cancer on a Poly
nesian island or in New Guinea among
the natives, except in case of one
man who had for seven years lived
practically a European life, eating
tinned Australian meat daily.
An important urgical operation,
the amputation ot both feet and the
trepanning of her skull, was per
formed on Miss Cora Friend, at a hos
pital in Oakland Cal. She had been
Btruck by a railroad train. To ren
der her insensible to pain, cocaine
was injected directly into the spinal
canal. She was conscious during the
entire operation, and gave directions
to the surgeons for her comfort.

PRETTY BEAR STORY
Wounded Beast Is Adopted by ,."
Crowd of Children.
Unexpected Complications Caused ly
Brain's Change of Autumn Ways '
A Hunt vith a Rather Re
markable Ending, "
According to a New York Sun corre
spondent residing at East Eddington,
Me., old hunters, old women and vener
able tradition, which is more aged than
either, assert that when the bears get
ready to go into winter quarters they
pass their last week of wakefulness un
der the oak trees, eating the fallen
acorns. These are full of tannic acid,
which puckers up the interial organs
of the bears so that they shall not feel
the pangs ot hunger during their pro
tracted naps in hollow trees and under
windfalls. Having reduced their stom
achs to less than, half the normal size,
the bears -swallow large quantities of
indigestible spruce gum to take up the
gastric juices, and then turn in for a
good long sleep.
This year the bears have introduced!
a new feature into the programme.
They took the acorns all right, but
when it came time to begin their sleep,
the apples were so ripe and juicy in the
orchards that appetite got the better of
habit, and for the past two weeks the
orchards have been suffering from
more dangerous foes than the small
boys. The bears have cheated the cider
mills of half their output this fall.
In spite of every expedient that
could be adopted to scare the animals
away, thej' have broken down limbs of
trees and wrought great damage, in
vading the villages where no bears had'
been seen for half a century, and keep
ing many women at home from harvest
suppers and sociables that only a
death in the family would otherwise
have hindered them from attending.
Partly to get bear meat for winter
consumption, but chiefly to save the i
apples from destruction, the farmers
organized a hunt during the last warm
epell. Everybody who owned a gun
was invited. The men formed a line
more than half a mile long and swept
the town from the Bradley line to Clif
ton. A mile to the east, of Sunk Haze
meadows they scared up two bears, one
of which was brought down before it
had gone, a mile. The other kept on.
to the base of Black Cap mountain, go
ing up on the north side and keeping
among the bushes until it stood out on
the bare top.
The men who ere hemming the anii

mal in on three sides began to fire when
they were half a mile away. As the
shots began 'to hit the ledges near by
the animal showed signs of uneasiness,
facing its pursuers and threatening to
charge. Then a shot would come zip
ping against a rock, causing the bear
to turn and attempt to descend .the
steep front of the cliff.
The teacher of the Clewleyville
school had taken her pupils out that
day for a picnic in the woods, mixing
pleasure with some lessons in nature
study. They had made beautiful
wreaths of autumn leaves which they
had bound about th eir heads and waists
and were sitting down for luncheon
when the bear, driven to take the risk
by the approach of the hunters, started
to pick its way down the quartz facsiof
Black Cap. The ledges were steep most
of the way, and in places they were very
slippery, so that no animal except a
bird could" gain so much as a toe hold.
By the time the bear had gained the
shelf, where a raven's nest had been
built for many years, the hunters were
on top of the hill and pouring a dan
gerous shower of fhot upon the crea
ture's head. It was too much for bear
nature to endure, so the animal got
rattled at the very time when it should
have kept its head and came tumbling
down the last part o the cliff, landing
not two rods away from the party of
school children. Several bones had been
broken- in the fall, though the beast
was still able to put. up a good fight.
As soon as the usual amount of scream
ing had been done the young folks
gathered around the injured animal
end began to t-ipress their pity in
words of endearment.
When the farmers came around the
hill to kill the bear they were met by
children, who 'stood in, front of the
rifles and- protested against such a
cruel' act. The pleadings of the young
people prevailed, end the bear was
patched up and taken to a warm barn,
whore it will spend the winter as the
guest of all the children in the village.

Politico and Sectarianism.
Jones, a Methodist, of Gentryville,
Mo., a few years ago bet a two-months-old
calf against a colt owned
by Smith, a Baptist, of the same town,
that the prophet, Jonah was a Meth
odist. The bet was finally decided in
favor of Smith, on the ground that
Jonah was immersed. - The same two
men made another curious wager be
fore the election. If Dockery received
a majority of 50,000 or less , Smith
agreed to become a member of the
Methodist church for one' year; ; if
Dockery'a majority ran anywhere
from 50,0-00 to 70,W)0, Jones was to be
come a Baptist for one year. If the
majority was over 70,000 an bets were
to be off. In the contract they agreed
not only' to attend the ofher church
in 'case the bet was lost but -to' : go
through all the ceremonies necessary
to join. Jones agreed, on becoming-'a
Baptist, to be immersed, and Smith
agreed to be sprinkled when the bap
tismal rite was performed. ' -
