entertainments.


The elaborate production of the aquatic
spectacle, ga Dark Secret" drew very large
audiences at the New Haven Opera House
yesterday afternoon and evening. Manager
Wall has been particular to have this popu-
lar success put upon the stage in true metro
politan fashion, and the result is that it is
attracting overlooking houses. The play is
an interesting one and is very well enacted,
but the great interest centers in the scenes
representing the Thames river during the Hen
ley regatta. In this scene about ], 200 square
feet of the stage was flooded with water, q
large tank with glass front being used.
On this sheet of water all kinds of pleasure
craft were seen. Nothing approaching this
scene was ever exhibited in this city and it
called round after round Of applause. The
fourth act representing the old church at
Henley by moonlight, which fairly rivaled
the regatta scene, was awarded triple en-
coure and the audience were not satisfied
until both Miss Carey and Mr.. Hosmer
were called before the curtain. The
singing by the Lyric quartette was very fine,
and was one of the many excellent features
of thoroughly satisfactory performance.
The play will be presented every evening
this week, and there will be q special NATL
nee on Saturday afternoon.
ON THE FRONTIER.
Hardie and Won Leer anda fine support
ing company in that well known melo-
dramatic spectacle, tOn the Frontier" will
be the attraction at BunnelPs Grand Opera
House Thursday, Friday and Saturday OF
this week, also giving matinees Friday and
Saturday. There are Fifty people in the pro-
duction, including a genuine Indian brass
band, which will make novel street parade
daily and on Thursday evening. Dan Col
Inns can be seen in the museum hall.
THE GREAT WHALE.
The embalmed whale, which created &c
| much interest and establishment in New
York, Boston and other towns, arrived here
last evening and will be on exhibition al
Belle Dock for the next ten days. He weighs
| rs tons and measures 65 feet from his nos,
i to his fukes. Wherever he has been crowdI
have locked to see what monsters live in tn,
Tsea, and can hardly realize that his might,
| jaws ever belonged to an animal, and on,
/ too that lives on the smallest of marine in
scots. A lecturer, well known in New Yorl
for his "oily tongue" gives rapid and en-
tertaining lecture on the whale in perticula
I and the whole family In general.

aged.
BRIDeEPoRT, Sept. 26.-vice President
and General Manager Stevenson of the Hous-
atomic is out with statement, denying re-
port published in some of the State papers
to the effect that the road is being misman-
aged, is bankrupt, and that the repair shops
at Fall Village shut down for want of funds
to continue work. Mr.. Stevenson says the
road has put on during the past summer and
paid for six new express engines, two new
mogul engines, six new passenger coaches
and two new drawing room cars; has made
the Wilson's Point improvements of about
10000, kept all old rolling stock in first
GLASS shape, Is building new iron bridges at
New Milford and Ashley Falls and has in
bank to-day between 5000, 600 and $500, 900
cash. During last month the operating ex-
penses paid out were So, 900, and the books
show a balance net profit of $40, 900 on the
month. AS to the mortgage of William
q. Barnum, Mr.. Stevenson says instead of
the road owing Barnum, Barnum owes the
road for freighting done in years past, when
he controlled the road, which the company
proposes to collect. The employees, who are
reported to have been dissatisfied, will re-
turn to work October 1, and the road never
was in better or more prosperous condition
than to-day.

A BrakemaRs Startling Experience.
Brakeman George Lotus of Portsea street,
this city, had startling experience yester-
day. As his train, freight train, from
New York due here at 9:55 a. m, was cross
ing the Spite bridge over the West Haven
meadows, the high wind, which was pre-
vailing, lifted the roof of the car off ON
which he stood, and hurled 1t to the mead
ows below. As the roof fell LOTUS erasped
telegraph wire and hung to it safely and
passed himself along, hand over hand on the
wire to the telegraph pole, down which he
descended to the meadows. The accident
was noticed by Conductor Gallagher, who
Immediately stopped the train and picked up
the brakeman.
The damaged car was brought to the Long
wharf freight yard for repairs.
The Coal Fields and the New Eng-
land Road.
A corps of engineers now employed in Or
ange county, N. Y, locating new railroad
from the Pennsylvania coal fields that will
connect with the Erie and with the Lehigh
and Hudson river roads, and another corps
at work on this side of the Hudson on a
line to connect the new coal field road with a
new bridge over the Hudson connecting with
the New York Central and with the New
England road, would seem to indicate big
ger future for the latter. The proposed new
bridge will cross the Hudson at the High
lands, from Fort Clinton to Anthony's
Nose-a single span 5000 feet long 1876 feet
high and 175 feet understanding the
Brooklyn bridge and costing ten millions
The Highland Bridge company has under
taken the work and General Serrell, its pres
ident says there is ample capital behind the
enterprise and that the bridge will be com
pleted within the next two years.

DISPOSAL OF THE SURPLUS.

General Harrison Speaks Again on the
Proper Use of the Revenue-An Illus-
sraGion.
IHDIANAFoLIs, Sept. 26.-Several Ohio and
Indiana delegations, among them number
of Tippecanoe veterans, paid their respects to
General Harrison to-day. Before beginning
his speech General Harrison read an interest
ing campaign letter of 1910 signed by fifteen
Democrats of Orange, N. j., giving their rea-
sons for leaving the Democratic party.
DISPOSAL OF THE SURPLUS
General Harrison then began his speech on
the disposal of the surplus revenue He said:
''There is a very proper use think that can
be made of more than twenty millions OF it.
During the civil war our custom receipts and
our receipts from internal taxes, which at last
had brought under tribute almost every pur-
suit in life were inadequate to the drain up
on QUO treasury caused by the civil war. Our
Congress, exercising one of the powers of the
constitution, levied a tax upon the States.
Ohio paid her part; Indiana paid hers and so
did the other loyal Stales. The southern
States were in rebellion and did not pay
theirs Now we have come to a time when
the government has surplus money and the
proposition was made in Congress to return
this tax to the States that had paid it. ZAP
plause.
An ILLUSTRATION.
II anyone asks, why pay this taxi this IL
lustration will be q sufficient answer. Sup
pose i've men are associated in business cor
porations. The corporations suffer loss and
its capital Is impaired. An assessment be-
comes necessary and three members pay
their assessments, while two do not. The
corporation Ia again prosperous and there is
surplus of money in the treasury. What
shall DO done with it, Manifestly justice re-
quires that the two delinquents should pay
mp or there should be returned to the other
three the assessment levied upon them.
[Great cheering.
A bill providing for the payment of the
tax was Killed in the House of Representa-
| tives not by voting it down but by flibus-
tering, majority Of the House being in favor
of its passage. Those who defeated
the bill by those revolutionary tactics were
largely from the States that had not paid the
tax. Cheers I mention these facts to show
that $50, 900, 600 of the surplus now lying IN
| the banks where il draws no interest might
very righteously be used SO as to greatly
l tighten the real burdens of taxation now rest
ing on the people, burdens that the people
know to be taxes without any argument from
our statesmen. Applause and laughter.)
The usual handwriting followed the ad
dress. Chairman Houston, of the Repubi
can State committee, announced that Mr.
Blaine would arrive in Indiana after making
his Michigan canvass.
