AMUSEM ENTS.
"Sport McAIIistar.,I

Many people suppose that Robert Gaylor's peculiarities of speech are affected by him, but it is not so. His strange intonation of speech and peculiar Irish accent are perfectly natural wiht him, and were the cause of his desert ing negro minstrelsy for Irish comedy. He will be seen at the Jacques opera house Thursday evening.
 "The White Slave"
 The drawing powers of the "White Slave" which comes to the Jacques opera house Friday evening are simply wonderful considering that this is the twelfth season of the play, and coupling this fact with the knowledge that the public is capricious and fond of turning it's back on all things old while contin- ually clamoring for something new and diverting. The pathetic tale of the drama, told in Bartley CampbelPs cleverest vein, has lost none of it's ap. pealinQ element.

Some Inside Talk About the Affairs

Some inside Talk About the Affairs of
 the New England.
 President Mcleod of the New York & New England has given orders closing the New York office of that road and headquarters are transferred again to Boston. Boston people haven't liked the idea for years past of running the road from Wall street. It is said now that the demand for payment for coal on which the recent attachment was based, was made upon President Par sons some days before the election an, not even reported by him to the other officers.
 Another int resting rumor about the New England is that the American Ex. press company is likely to be crowded off by the United States. Tom Platt, president of the latter, has the Reading system, including the Poughkeepsit bridge and old Connecticut Western line, and it is natural that it should push to get this road, too.
 The Transcript has special from Philadelphia to the effect that the New England directors who live there have raised money enougl to prevent any more fl )ating debt complications. It is the general belief that if the road is plnched 1t will be about August 1. The LnIeIeSI oH the SlO,UOU,UUU lSC mortgage and per cent bonds is due July 1, and on the $5,0OO,O0O per cent Eds August 1.
 A press dispatch of Saturday night stated that the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad cothpany is engaging ma chinists and engineers at the different dispatching points about Pottsville, Pa, with orders to hold themselves in readi. ness to be immediately forwarded on short notice to the New York & New England road, where a strike of em- ployes is expected. Inquiry at the office and machine shops of the New York & New England in East Hartford yesterday developed the fact that there was no truth in the tanor that there was to be a strike,

Sealing Industry Played Out.

NEW LONDON, March 2O.-A letter has been received from Captain Joseph J. Fuller, of this city, master of the schooner Francis Allyn. The captain 8 long and hard voyage. He reports that sealing is a complete failure. He had at the time the letter was written visited all the rockeries, but had secured only twenty-five seals.

Quite g fleet of boats engaged in the sealing business hailed from this port and Stonington few years ago, but of late the business has been on the decline, owing to the avarice of many masters who have killed every seal in sight, young or old.

American Enterprise.

During the last year there were fifty
nine new companies organized abroad
for operation in Mexico, all either
American or English, no German,
French, Belgian or Spanish companies
being incorporated for Mexican enter
prises. Fifty companies were Ameri-
can, with a total capital of s91, 1925, 900,
and nine were English, with an aggre-
gate capital of e1,60o,oo A large
number of private companies We're
formed for Mexican enterprises in the
United States, but no record is made of
them. It is remarkable fact that for
several years new corporations organ
lied abroad for Mexico have been
formed in the two great Anglo-Saxon
nations, which to-day hold nine-tenths
of this form of investment there. 1t is
to this fact that the growing populari-
cation Of the English language is due,
French having lost it's former supremacy
as the leading foreign tongue. Three
years ago there were more companies
organized in England for Mexican bust
ness than in the United States; now the
reverse is the case.
