Commercial Advertiser. He Is the
proud father OF a 6-year-old boy who
was recently promoted from short

event by the way, created much ex-
element among the Juvenile popula-
ton OF Hackensack.
Another great attraction OF Hacken-

The day after Robbie Moulton made
his debut in trousers the leader OF the
band received full drum majors uni-
form. There was to be "a parade In
the afternoon, but the leader put his
suit on about q m. and strutted
around town.
He was quite martial figure In the
blue and gold suit with the herce bear
skin adjoining his head. and he knew
it. Furthermore he wanted the Moul-
tons servant girl to know II as the

by the house four times but would not
stop. sg
Little Robbie had been watching the
performance with an interest seconc
only to that he took in his own suit.
Finally he could stand 1t no longer,
and as the leader swaggered by for the
fifth time piped out In shrill voice
that everybody could hear:
Mamma! mammal Johnny Hopper

And Mr.. Hopper Immediately fell .,
far IN his own estimation that he prob
ably hurt himself.

Chemists distinguish between vari-

longs cane-sugar. which Is formed in

another class belongs the glucoses OF
which the fruit-sugar that occurs in
grapes and other fruits and the glu-
cose which Is manufactured on large
scale from the starch OF corn are SAM
Piles. Some time since. Professor
Fischer OF Wurzburg, Germany, sue
ceeded in the synthesis Of several SUI
gars closely allied to fruit-sugar. The
news has come that he has found a
way to transform glucose into q sugar
OF the type OF cane-sugar We have
long known how to convert starch and
cane-sugar to glucose; the process Is
one of changing moro complex COM
pound to simpler ona But the pos
sibility OF reversing tho process was
long doubted. Yet just this is what
Professor Fischer has now accom-
plished.
Still moro remarkable was going
to say. but the time for calling such
things remarkable seems TO be past -
is the account which has come to hand
lately OF the preparation of an albu-
minoid compound by synthesis. How
Carbohydrates and fats may be prepared
artificially we have come to under
stand. But the albuminoid compounds
contain more chemical elements and
are far more complex; they are indeed
the highly organized material OF veg

substances could be made in the labor
atory has been hard to believe. Yet
Professor Schutzenberger OF Paris has
just reported to the French academy

The Munich Troupe at Turner Opera
House.

A great treat in the amusement line
is in store for the people of Watertown,
arrangements having been completed
for the appearance at Turner Opera
| house, Thursday, March 18th, of the
celebrated Muenchener theatrical COM
pany, of Munich The troupe COM
prises forty-two people, all players of
ability in their respective roles. "The
Crucifx Carver" by Ganghofer, will be
presented. The scene is laid in the
Bavarian Alps, inhabited by a plain
ard frugal, but physically well develop
ed people, though, perhaps not as
bright Intellectually as their city neigh
bors. The characters in the play are
very numerous and ably represented
by the Munich company. In the "Cru-
cifx Carver is brought out the pecu-
liarities of the Alpine people in dress,
dialect and action, forming a most
pleasant and interesting presentation.
The Milwaukee Sentinel of Monday,
speaking of this performance at the
Davidson theatre the previous evening,
says: ''The performance was one of
the most perfect of the kind ever wit
messed, and from the highest to the
lowest, all devoted themselves to the
task of securing perfect ensemble"
The company is procured here at a
great risk, a guarantee of $500 having
to be given. The guarantee fund is Sc
cured by eight of our young business
men, and our citizens should come for
ward in a liberal spirit to sustain the
undertaking and insure the projectors
of the enterprise against loss An OPP
portunity may not occur again for q
number of years to witness perform
ance of as high a character in this city,
and there should be every effort to fill
Turner Opera house on the occasion.
In this connection it might be well to
say that Watertown will be the only
place of it's size in the United States
honored with a performance by the
Munich troupe.
