oJack,s Little Dinners Comes to
 1,rtef for Lack of Financial Support
 Well Received at the Dress Re-
 hearsal.
 The production of "Jack's Little Dinner" 8 farce, by a former resi- dent of this city, MT. Charles A. Wat rous, Yale 'S4, financial editor of the New York Evening Sun, and Edward F. Cow ard, one of the best amateur actors in the
 country, was not presented at the Academy
 of Music as 'scurtain raiser" Saturday
 night, as was expected. It seems that
 Managers Pratt and Ogden, the controllers
 of the enterprise, could not or would mol
 prepay the rent, and Manager Gilmore
 would not let the house be used, and the
 people who came to see the play found themselves locked out. Three new playi were to have been presented, two others besides "Jack's Little Dinner" One o1 them was "One of the Seventh" ," indicat ing that some of the occasion's brilliancJ 1 was to be derived from the Seventh regi ment.
 The afternoon performance, which wal l intended to be only dress rehearsal passed off smoothly and was well received by the audience. The Sun says of MT | Watrous' farce:
 Jacks Little Dinner which opened the bill proved an airy trife. It was merely a little mis understanding between lovers at an improm pt1 1 dinner given by Jack Warbuton, who in invitin, | his guests, was unmindful that any troubl l existed between them. A reconciliation, after much interrupted meal, brought the curtai l down. Two amateurs figured in the cast MI l Coward, one of the joint authors, and Mir. Alber La Montague. They had the valuable ass'stanc l of Miss Lizzie Richelle, Miss Kate Lester an l MT. William Murray.

Admiral FOote Post Attends Service
 in BOdy-SermOn by Father His-
 gins.
 Admiral Foote post No. IF, G. A. R attended vespers at St. Mary's church in a body last night. Rev. Dr. Higgins, o. F., preached very eloquent memorial SCI mon. In the course of his remarks he said:
 "How bounteous, plentiful, social, moral and religious is our liberty. What rewards for thrift and labor does she of fer. No place is so high or SO distin- guished but the son of the poorest may make it the legitimate object of his ambition And here has been wrought out the most delicate and difficult problem of that politi- cal economy. At one time the spirit of dissension glowered over this land, but through the watchfulness of providence ii WAS dispelled. May the faithfulness of ou, people always work for the preservation of this glorious land from all dissension and strife in the future.
 ''To our guests of the evening I extend or the part of our people our mutual respect and regard"
 The music of the service was excellent the vespers being taken from Mullord and Minis vespers and the Tantum Ergo was from Rossini's vespers. The bass chorus was especially fine.

A Mad Dog Scare.

A genuine mad dog scare developed on Sperry street yesterday morning when a small dog belonging to Daniel Tilghman of 38 Sperry street ran through that thor oughfare frothing at the mouth and snap ping and snarling at everyone he met. The dog was finally cornered, double barreled old-fashioned shotgun secured and both barrels emptied into the dog's head, killing him instantly. It is not generally believed that the dog was mad, but was probably suffering from distem. per. The report of the gun was dis. tinctly heard for some distance from the scene of action and in consequence all sorts of wild rumors were afoat as to the cause thereof.

HARTFORD,s HORROR.

Explosion at the Etna PyrOtechntc
 Factory Several Lives LOst-Other
 Empleyes Injured The Bodies of
 All the Victims Recovered.
 HARTFORD, May 22.-The most violent explosion which has recently occurred in this city took place yesterday afternoon, when, at 4:35 o'clock, the factory of the Etna Pyrotechnic company blew up with such tremendous force that the city was shaken from end to end and the noise of the explosion was heard for miles. In con- sequence of the explosion Superintendent J. L. B. Sibley, Emma Tarbox, Maggie Capen, Emma Treganzy, forewoman, and George Seinsoth, mixer, were instantly killed, and George F. Stevens, Kittie Sal den and Rose Harvey were more or less seriously injured.
 The building, which was completely wrecked by the explosion, was g two-story brick located in the rear of Rockwells large building on Mechanic street. Imme- diately after the explosion fire broke out, and an alarm sent in quickly assembled the fire department at the scene. The fremen began to clear away the de- bris while inc streams were still playing. Big pieces of the roof and flooring were hauled out and off the ruins by the men with 8 long rope. Great quantities of water were thrown into the mass of ruins. At last the fire was extinguished and the search for the bodies of the victims began | and was continued uninterruptedly until late at night.
 MT. Stevens was the first to be rescued. His face was bleeding and he suffered in tense agonies, although able to talk. He | was pulled from the ruins by an old man l whose name was not learned and who con- l tinued at the work of rescue. Miss Har- l and wood. She was bleeding about the | eyes and was blackened from head to feet. Her clothing was torn. She was cared for l by physician.
 l Ten minutes after the explosion the first body was taken out, that of woman who was unrecognizable. She was badly burn
 ed. Soon after the finding of the body of 1 the woman the blackened remains of the | two remaining men were brought from ated, the arms and legs having been
 blown from the body.
 | The cause of the explosion is as yet un- | known, but it is thought it was caused by an explosion of chemicals in the mixing machine.
 The bodies of George Seinsoth and one woman employed in the factory were re- covered at 2:30 p. m. to-day after diligent search.
 As to the cause of the explosion mem-
 Der of the firm said: '1 cannot give any
 reason for the explosion. Two years ago
 sulphur was used in the manufacture of
 colored lights. At that time we were al-
 ways careful to use the utmost caution in
 mixing it with chemicals. If the accident
 had occurred at that time the cause could
 be given without any doubt. During the
 past two years, however, no sulphur what
 ever has been used in any of the mixtures.
 The chemicals used are positively non
 explosive and am utterly unable to ac-
 count for the unfortunate affair"

Ever seen any Chevalier Cloth ?
 It will be ''on view" here Monday. Beautiful doesn't de- scribe it. It cannot be de- scribed. Words are merely suggestive. Can you enjoy an unknown fragrance without inhaling it ? Imagine, if you can, the most delicate-hued flowers painted upon fabric SO soft in texture and coloring that a baby's cheek seems harsh and a June sky garish beside it i; flowers painted so exquisitely that the hand becomes instinct lively gentle in touching them lest a petal fall, and you will have a faint idea of Chevalier Cloth.
 And the price-it seems sac rilegious to mention money in the same breath-the price is I2 l-2c a yard.
