HARRIGAN's GREAT HIT.

Ned Harrigan is making big money out
of his ne " theater. He has a field Of amuse-
ment all to himself. The phases of life on
the east side are full of interest. Harrigan
has studied them, and portrays them in his
plays. He is histrionic Meissonnier. He
draws to the life, aud not a shade or line is
omitted. Sometimes in his plays there is a
momentary lull, time when the audience.
or part of it, is not altogether interested.
But after the play is over run your mind
back over what you have seen; there was
nothing in it irrelevant or superhuous
saw Mr. Harrigan in his dressing room
the other evening just before the curtain
arose. Down a passageway we went,
through an improvised door Of waterproof
material, up some stairs to the stage, and
down more stairs to the greenroom There
all is clean and neat. A large room. with
sink running along one side and tables on
another, partitioned off at one eud from Mr..
Harr1gan's little room. Other rooms for
the ladies Of the company are near by.
Harrlgan sat on bench facing a mirror,
which rested on long and broad shelf
against the wall. On this shelf reposed all
tho paraphernalia of the actors trade, the
time-honored rabbits foot, cosmetics, etc.
HarriRan was about half made up as /
entered, and he presented a comIcal app
pearance as he grasped me by the hand
and asked me TO be seated. A touch
here, a touch there, a little pen
CLING on this side, little rouge on that
slight adjustment of the hair, and, presto!

place his son among the 400" Around
were ''supesn rehearsinR their parts, some
turning somersaults, some going through
dance, some adjusting their dress and faces,
and some lolling around waiting for the
summons from the stage above, and even
while | was talking 10 the genial actor the
shrill summons came, and there was a hur-
ried scamper away. Mr.. Harrigan leisurely
surveyed himself In the glass, then slowly
accompanied me upstairs on 70 the stage,
where left him. In another moment

who rejoice in al English connection or ac~

AS London isn't tolerabie until spring, the
season there isn't fairly under way until it
is about over here, and by making quick
connections it ia possible to enjoy the greater
part of both. Thus the exigencles Of Lon

NEW YORK, May 2.-The other night
newspaper man here in New York happened
upon a piece of news-not at all Of a start
ling nature. but still a good piece OF news.
No one else could get it. He went to one OF
the papers, briefly outlined his facts and
asked: How much can l have for this
storyG 1t will be about a column"
Fifty dollars, If you sell it to no other
paper" said the night editor.
IAN right" said the reporter, you can
have it exclusively in New York if you let
me market it by telegraph"
"Ot COURSE said the night editor.
Then the young man went to work. He
wrote a column for the New York paper
and a slightly shorter story to telegraph.
This he offered to one great paper each in
Boston, Providence, Chicago, Buffalo and
perhaps two dozen other Cities stipulating
IN each case, special rates for an exclus-
ive" Then be sent out his telegram, the
same matter 20 all papers. When his bills
were oil honored he had made several
hundred dollars out Of that evenings work.
Smart young man you say Not bit Of
it. He was the biggest fool have heard of
in some time. For IN order to pocket that
haul he had to "beat his own paper" and
such treachery never pays in the long run.
He would have been wiser If he had turned
in the story to his own paper and pocketed
only his regular salary at the end of the
week.
The value of a really exclusive piece of
news is always very considerable. OF
course many newspaper men often learn
things which would make valuable stories
but which considerations of honor forbid
them to use. / have had this experience
pretty frequently and can testify that it is
rather exasperating. In one case friend,
fully aware that l was a newspaper man,
told me most lovely sensational story.
THAT would be worth four columns and
a special rate to me- said.
He gasped and fairly turned rale as he
said: But you won't use it, will youi"
OF course l never did; but l long wished
he hadn't told me the story.

LITTLE ELSIE LESLIE AT HOME.

saw a photograph the other day OF
which there are only twelve copies in ex-
istence. 1t was picture of Edwin Booth
and Elsie Leslie, the child actress. The
former is seated in a chair and Elsie is
standing by the side of il, one arm over the
back, the other hand clasped in that of Ed
win Booth. Six of these photographs were
retained by Mr.. Booth and six were given
to Mrs. Lyde, the mother of little Elsie.
Mrs. Lyde also has possession of the mega
tive. never saw finer portrait Of the
famous tragedian.
In her home Elsie Leslie is a charming
girl, with large, trustful blue eyes and a
sweet expression on her face. i saw her
one afternoon last week romping with her
pet dog, whose name, Toxins Tudor Lyde
Is altogether out Of proportion to his size
But, though small, he is full of mischief
Over and over be rolled, while his little
mistress tried to take from him small rub
Der ball which was held fast between his
teeth. She got it at last. Miss Leslie is
like any other child. She plays with her
dolls, her games and paints a little. She
also composes short stories and keeps little
diary.
Mrs. Lyde never allows Elsie 20 see any
press notices of her acting. She is retaining
them until her daughter is old enough to
appreciate them. Elsie always arrives at
the theater an hour before the curtain rises
and walks around experimenting things.
She loves the stage and is ambitious to con-
tinue upon it, She says, in her unassuming
way. that she means to be great actress
some day.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Board of Trade Criticized by "On,
 Who Knows"

The Board of Trade Criticized by "One
 Who Knows"
 To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT
 have carefully watched the actions of the Waterbury board of trade and I must say that it's policy seems to be a selfish one. When the board was or ganized pretty pictures of prosperity were drawn. We were told that it's main object was to build up the town by assisting worthy enterprises and by encouraging outside capitalists to invest their money here. After two years or more of existence, what has the board to show? Very little that can be seen without glass.
 Just why the organization has failed to accomplish all that was expected of it, I can not explain. It is said that it is influenced by selfish motives and in- stead of encouraging outside manu- lecturers to come here actually turns a cold shoulder to calls for assistance. As proof of this l am told that a small piece of land upon which u build | would have caused Waterville manu- | featuring concern to move to this city. A helping hand was not offered and the opportunity to add to the city's indus | tries was lost.
 There seems to be desire on the part Of many Waterbury capitalists to freeze
 
 in striking contrast to Bridgeport and many other cities, whose prosperity is greater than our own. Mind, I do not say that the manufacturers who are already with us, and who have made Waterbury what it is, should be neglect ed. Not at all. They should be en- couraged to add to their works for they are the rock upon which the city stands. But others should be encouraged also to I fn is f.NR. oil
 Most of our manufactures run to brass. Iron workers should be induced to locate here, or shoe factories, or hat factories. The more diversified manu- featuring city's industries are the better. Then if one branch fails there will not be general collapse. Where would Waterbury be to-day had not the French copper syndicate been broken two years ago? It is fact not generally known that many of the man. ufacturers of this city were shaking in their boots at that critical time, and Waterbury was nearer to hard times than people realized. Happily that is a thing of the past, but the lesson it taught should not be forgotten, and the board of trade instead of giving out through the press that Waterbury capi- talists are not anxious to give assistance to parties desirouS of locating here should rather invite them to come ir and show what they have to offer in re- turn for our assistance and cooperation Would it not be we'll to offer a very low tax rate for a period of five years q believe that the law will not allow complete abatement of taXation.) The bread cast upon the waters would be re turned with interest in the benefit to be derived by every body from the money every new concern employing even 6 small number of hands will set in circu lation.

DISCRIMINATION PROHIBITED.
The New England Road Cannot Shu

The New England Road Cannot shut
 Out the New York & Northern.
 The interstate commerce commission have decided the case of the New York and Northern railway against the New York X New England Railroad com pany, the Housatonic Railroad com pany and the New England Terminal company in favor of the complainant. Complaint was based on an alleged dis crimination in tariff rates against the complainant company, and the point de- cided is, that where a railroad company. having ample facilities for physical con nectlon and through business with a connecting line with which it has in the past long had an arrangement for doirg 2 a through business on d pro rating basis. terminates that arrangement. without any good reason, and enters into d simi- lar arrangement with another connect ing line, and refuses further through business over its former connect ions. this conduct is un ust discrimination within the meaning of the statute. The order directs that the defendant. the New York and New England Railroad company, cease and desiSt from the dis crimination.
 The discrimination of the New Eng land had the effect of deprlving New York city and the important manufac- turing towns of Danbury. Hawleyville Meriden, Waterbury and other New England towns of the cheaper. shorter and more favorable route by the New York and Northern railroad to and from New York city. and forced them to the Housatonic route, which involved eX. pense and forty miles of water on the sound, witE its delays caused by fog and ice.

euLkELEv AND THE QUO wARRANTo
Says He Filed His Answer Only Out 0
 Courtesy.


 NEW HAVEN. May S.-Counsel for Morgan G. Bulkeley to-day filed their answer in the quo warranto case brought by Luzon B. Morris, in the su- perior court before Judge Prentice. At torney Case said that the court was bound to take judicial notice of the fact that Morgan G. Bulkeley is governor. They filed their answer out of courtesy. The answer set forth everything done during the session of the general assem- ply, including the house canvass of the senate has declared the democratic state officers elected, while the house has not. and that therefore Morgan C.. Bulkeley is still the lawful governor and is not a usurper. He prays that the complaint be discharged. Judge Prentice allowed twenty days for the plaintiff to file a reply.
