The vivacious little counterpart of the irresistible Lotta, is to appear again at the opera house tonight. To say tha: she was the life and spirit of last nights play and bewitching force in her fund of contagious merriment, is to state it all too mildly. She was effusively en- cored over and over again last night and is such "whole circus" in herself, that everyone present felt it was worth double the price of admission to see her alone. This company should have a packed house tonight, for it is seldom so good show is given us.-Norwalk Gazette. At the opera house Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

 NAUGATUCK, May 3.--A bill of con. plaint was filed yesterday in the United States circuit court,s at Hartford, by Isaac F. Williams and the National Rubber company of Providence against the Goodyear India Rubber Glove Misunderstanding comPaRy of Naugatuck. The complaint alleges certain infringe ments of patents on overshoes by the Goodyear company and asks remunera- tion for the goods sold under the alleged infringement, and also asks for a pro visional injunction to restrain the Good year company from further manufac- ture of the overshoes. A similar suit between the parties was tried few months ago. ... ...~

At the turn near Nays park the wagon struck tree throwing both out on their heads, breaking the cart and injuring the horse. Both men

Extension of the Fire Limits Blocked
 For the Present.
 The board of aldermen held it's regu- lar meeting last evening.
 The following petitions were read and referred: For larger water main on Hay den street, for extension of main on Farm street, to water board; for laying walks on West Grove street, and for the removal of trees on Prospect street, to road board; for electric light on South street, to committee on lights; for the abatement of the taxes of M. P. Lawlor, Andrew Keaveney, Michael Lawlor and Patrick Holohan, to committee on abatements.

 The recommendation of the road board for the purchase of a safe for the engineers office was passed. The recommendation of the road board about widening Bank street at the junction of Washington avenue, by taking land from the school, which the district committee offered, was passed. The layout of Mill streeet was accepted and referred to the board of compensa- tion.
 The construction of a sewer in West Grove street was ordered at an esti- mated expense of $900. The recom- mendation from the sewer board asking for an appropriation of $15,0OO for the purpose of constructing trunk sewer in the Brooklyn district, was laid on the table for one month.

 An electric light was ordered placed on Jefferson street. It was voted that the City Lumber and Coal company be paid back $14.S0, and $500 to be paid to Ellen Shannahan for injuries re- ceived in falling on a sidewalk as recommended by the law committee.
 The passage of the ordinance relating to the setting of curbstones was acted upon favorably, but the extension of the fire limits did not receive the same kind consideration. An extended debate was carried on by the members of the board, relative to this question, and the extension had more friends present than the other side, but a majority of the whole board is required.
 In all the business of the aldermen the council concurred, except in the matter of providing a penalty for the neglect to lay sidewalks when ordered, and the matter of procuring a license and giving boards for doing the work of setting curbs.
 A petition for the appointment of a sanitary inspector, whose business it would be to inspect the work of plumb ing in the erection of new buildings, was read in the council and referred to the board of health; 1t was signed by most of the architects and by all the plumbers.
 The following vote was offered by Councilman Bannon and passed: That the street inspector be instructed to see that all sidewalks in the city out of re- pair be immediately repaired and the property owners in such cases notified.

Recovered Alter six Years.

ROCKVILLE, May 3.-A remarkable recovery of stolen property after many years has just come to light here. Six years ago bicycle was stolen from the Rev J. H. La Roche, who was then rector of St Mary's church in Man. chester. He searched in vain for the wheel but was never able to find any trace of it. Three years ago the pastor moved to small town in Pennsyl- vania, and the stolen wheel was for gotten. A few days ago a person familiar with the incident overheard two women talking about Q bicycle, on a Hartford train, which gave him a clue to the missing wheel. He followed the matter up and a few days ago located the machine in an attic in Man. chester. It had been badly used. Mir La Roche was notified but declined to pFosecpte.

BISMARCK ON WAR SCARES.

In His Opinion Neither France Nor Rus
STA Is Thinking Of Possibilities.
"Why grant this enormous peace
strength" asked Bismarck while talk
ing with London Times correspon-
queror in the future? He who can win
the first two or three battles, and those
battles will no more be fought by mill
lions of armed men than they have
hitherto been, but by some two or three
hundred thousand men at most. Large
masses cannot be directed by a single
general, not even with the help of
balloon. The chief things, as hitherto,
will be good leadership and superior
tactics, and for these an enormous in
crease in the army affords no kind of
guarantee. With our present forces we
can perfectly well operate on two fronts
if we have the right kind of leadership.
Count Caprivi himself spoke not so long
ago with conviction against ia rage des
nombres.' Why is he all of sudden
converted to belief in numbers, and
mere numbers?
Again, we are told that the danger
Of war is greater. l, for my part, can
not see it. On the contrary, believe
that war cannot break out for the next
two or three years. France is incoIn-
parablv more peaceful and less ready
to strike out than she was in 1888.
Then Boulanger had to but press the
button and his dynasty was founded.
Now any form of monarchy is more
dangerous to the maintenance of peace
with Germany than the republic. A
monarchy would find it much easier to
conclude alliances with monarchical
states, especially with Russia
That the present rulers on the banks
Of the Seine are not thinking of war is
shown by the papal blessing they have
asked and obtained for the republic.
The pope has done us no harm in grant
ing it, for its effect was TO lay the
spirit Of internal strife in France, to
satisfy the great and universal and sin
cere desire of the French people for
peace and to make things smoother and
easier for those in power. The latter,
moreover. know quite well that the
first thing q victorious French general
would DO would be 10 sweep them away
with dictator's broom As for Rus
sia, il is the fashion 10 describe her as
painting for war with Germany. But
who wants war n Russia? Not the
car. He Is a cautious gentleman. who
asks Tor nothing beyond peace and
quiet at homo 50 long as he can get Il
The vast majority of the Russian Peo-
pie do not want war. The only wari21e
clements in Russia are the press, the
Poles and the Jews"
