Al Cat,s FiGht with Starvation.

Cats Fight with Btnrvaft0n. s
 The fine gray cat at Schott's cigar store has recently endured an enforced fast of if teen days. It had an out-of- -the-way hiding place under building in the rear, where it occasionally took nap, and where it became mowed in by the heavy snow storm nearly three weeks ago. Nowhere could the cat be found, and it was coniectured that it had gone to be recorded as fenile angel, but on Saturday it became liberated from it's solitary confinement and immediately went into the store, but being 50 terribly emaciated it took it's former friends some time to realize that it was their pet of old By systematic feeding the animal is fast getting back to it's accus- toned piumpness, and is more of favorite than ever. It was just fifteen days from the time it disappeared to the time that 1t put in an appearance again. n.-Hdrtford COetrGnt.

 stDREAMs' '
 Willie Edouin's Sparks company played Dreams, or Fun in Photograph Gallery, D to large audience at the New Haven Opera House last evening. and better pleased au- dience would be hard to find. There is no particular plot to s'Dreams" It consists of two acts, in the first of which the principal characters gather around 'the festive board'' of John Antonio Binks, aged 70, Willie Edouin.) The old man makes a funny speech, a number of pleasant songs are sung, and after the company has departed he goes to sleep in his arm chair by the fire and dreams" The second act is the dream and also the fun in the photograph gallery. In this act there is excellent singing, dancing burlesque and riotous fun. Willie Edouin, MT. Jacques Kruger and James T. Powers were as ridiculous as they could be, and MT. Kruger's portrayal of the photographer will not soon be forgotten by those who saw it. The tenor singing of Miss Lotta Belton was remarkable, and the Nightingale song by Miss Ida Shapleigh was very pleasing. The other members of the company did their work well. Dreams" deserves the success it has had and will have. If you want to be amused go and see the Sparks company this evening
