LOTTERY or LOVE.


 This excellent comedy will be presented at Proctor's this afternoon and evening for the last timo here. It is an admirable play, finely rendered. It compares favorably with any of the many pieces which Mir. Augustin Daly has produced.
 UNDER THE LASH.
 This sensational play will be the attrac- ton at the Grand Opera House this after- noon and evening. It will undoubtedly be seen by large houses.
 RIoE's coRsAIn.
 Rice's elaborate production of the Coisair will be seen at the Hyperion this afternoon and evening. It is one of the most artistic pieces Edward E. Rice has presented. For richness and artistic combination of colors with delightful effects, tho harsm scene in the third act has hardly been equalled among the recent great triumphs of scenic art, while all the other scenes are pictur- esque and captivating. The host of pretty girls are second to none of the other attrac- tive features.
 LA ToscA.
 Fanny Davenport has never made greater hit than in her superb presentation of La Toeca. She has made of this powerful play of Sardous most decided sensation. Her appearance at the Hyperion tomorrow even- ing only will undoubtedly be greeted by . large audience, for the sale of seats thus far has been very large. The piece will be pre- sented with elaborate stage settings, a good company, and Miss Davenport's costumes will be, as they always have been, . wonder and fascination for feminine eyes. JULIA MARLowE.
 The appearance of this talented young actress at Proctor's on the last half of the week will be welcomed by hosts of her ad- mirsrs In this city. She will present three of Shakespsare's plays, appearing in some of her most captivating roles. ONE OF THE BRAvEsT.
 The attraction at the Grand for the last half of the week will be the stirring mslo- drama, One of ths Bravest. aq

 Waterbury scientists are now grappling with problem that has thus far successfully defed . satisfastory solution. The problem is to account for the transformation of the roots of tree into pure resin. A few days ago workmsn on the Naugatuok railroad who are filling in for the now station at Nauga- tuck were loading gravel train just north low the surface of the sand bank h which they were digging they discovered what was apparently the roots of an old tree. The at- tention of the workmen was attracted by the brittle character of the roots, which were broken In the shoveling. Collecting several specimens they brought them to Supsrin- tendent George W. Beach. The roots mains, although In . very himsy condition. One can imagine the appearances of the spsoi- mems by supposing the fbrous substanos composing the original roots to have been re- moved from the encasing bark and the cavi- ties thus formed to have been filled with pure resin. The nature of the bark leads to the belief that the trAnaformsd roots be- longed to pine trse, and tho belief is strengthened by tho fact that pine trss still discovery wss made.

Court of Common Pleas-Oivil side
 Judge Deming.
 Judge Deming yesterday heard the case of James Hurley vs. Mrs. Mary Humiston of Willow street for $500, which amount MT. Hurley says ia owed him for household ser- vices. He had, he alleges, verbal contract with Mrs. Humiston to work for $50 month. He set forth that he washed dishes and did other domestic work about the house. He sarcastically said that Mrs. Hum- iston occasionally made him present. Last Christmas he received gold filled watch which was bought in Q pawnshop for $32. At another time Mir. Hurley said he received a $7 overcoat and $10 suit. Mrs. Humis- ton, who is an esteemed resident of the city, was represented by ex-Judge York, who set up as the defence that Mrs., Humiston had loaned Hurley money with which to buy lot, and he asked for a set-off. Lawyer E. P. Arvine appeared for MT. Hurley. CIty Court = Criminal Side - Judge
