Buttons, the pickaninny dude, will sing Alabama Coon," and another star has been secured in Mas ter Freddie, the emperor of hornpipe dancers. Miss Edith Barr, sweet little Baby Ruth, Camellia, the Spanish dan cer, Diavolo, the clever hauky-pauky trickster and all the other favorites will be seen.

 Nemesis" the new play in which Miss Rose Coghlan is to appear on Mon day night, is worthy of the talent of that sterling actress and artiste. The role of ''Mlle Walanoff" has great dra- matic possibilities, each of which is re- alized to it's full value by Miss Cogh- Ian, who wears some very beautiful and costly gowns. The play is natural and clever, and the characters are distinct ly outlined. Her supporting company is an admirable one.

Poli,s Wonderland Tbeater.

Schaffer in his feats of jugglery and equipoise at the Wonderland is a verit- able sensation. New Haven seems to have gone daft over his performance, if we may judge from the immense crowds that seek admission every day and evening to Polls favorite resort. So crowded has the theater been at every performance given so far this week that we wonder whether a fly could find room to lodge anywhere in the seats or on the surface of the floor without lighting on a spectator The throngs have been so dense that some criticisms of MT. Poli have been heard for allowing so many persons in. No criticism has been heard of the perform ance, however. That is of the best character. The Vidocqs, O'Brien, Jen- nings and O'Brien, the Misses Burt and Bennett, Francis Bryant, the Deagons Haynes and Redmond, and Johnson, Davenport and Lorella, are artists of the first water, and furnish an enter tainment to keep everybody in good humor who goes to the Wonderland.

Grand Opera House.

| A large and we'll pleased audience was present at the Grand opera house last night to witness the admirable pre- sentation of the late H. c. De Mille's play, "The Lost Paradise" The play deals largely on the labor question, in which low wages and demand for more ends in strike. MT. William Morris as. Reuben Warner is admira- ble in his presentation of the part of the superintendent of works in love with his masters daughter, and Miss Etta Hawkins in the part of Grinders" /" which she originated, is deserving of all the praise that can be bestowed up- on her.

coNGREssM4N.EHEor SPERRY.
He Captured His Big Audience in Bridge


 port.
 Hon. N. D. Sperrys recent address before the Bridgeport republicans was greeted with immense enthusiasm, and most of the papers of that city, irrespec- tive of party, agreed that he cannot be beaten for making the tariff question plain and clear and easily understood. Among the notices of MT. Sperry's speech is the following from the Bridge port Union:
 Congressman N. D. Sperry came over from New Haven last night with a bag full of entertaining political stories, and a few cold political facts for the digestion of the Bridgeport Republican club. The club room seated eighty peo- pie when he began to speak. None of them stirred from their seats, although he talked for an hour. At little dis tance MT. Sperry's countenance resem- bles that of Gladstone. He has d man ner of conveying his argument thAt is impressive, because, unlike most politi- cal speakers, he appears to actually be- lieve himself what he Is saving. As there is no true republican, it is also true that there is probably no better master of pertinent illustration of ob- scure political points than is MT. Sper- ry. In his hours talk he never once got into the clouds and he never for moment ceased to be interesting.
 "So help me God" said he, 'I cannot comprehend why the democrats do not understand what is the matter with the country. I myself cannot lie, but at all times must speak the plain, unvarn- ished truth as I understand it.
 "'T remember the story of the English man whose greatest ambition was to shoot buffalo and bear. He came to American, took a guide and started. They walked till night, finding no bear or buffalo, but coming to a fork in the road at the junction of which stood blacksmith shop. Upon the shop was a sign which read: Four miles from here to Mugg's Village by the right hand road, and if you can't read ask the blacksmith The trouble with the dem ocratlc party" said MT. Sperry, "is that 1t won't read and won't ask the blacksmith"
 MT Sperry attributed the hard times to the reduced tariff, Every time in the history of the country" said he that the tariff has been reduced the prosperity of the country has dimin- ished and bonds had to be issued'
 Senator-elect Marigold presided at the meeting. He declared that whereas it had been said that Connecticut had four congressman at Washington, but only one representative, 1t now had four congressman and four representatives. The Tippeeanoe chorus sang new song, the refrain of which was "Go, Grover, Go"

BRAN As A FERTILIZER.

Thirty odd years ago the late Solon
Robinson, after making some expert
ments with wheat bran and corn meal
as fertilizers on Lis lawn, declared
they were fully MS cheap for this pur.
pose rs any of the comuercial fertil-
iZers then or the market. Several ex-
perlments haze been made with bran
and what are called "middlings" as
fertilizers for grass, and with good
results. All planters ut the South
know what n change has been wrought
within the last two or three decades in
the use of cotton seed, and cotton seed
meal and waste from the oil mills for
enriching the soil for all kinds of
crops. At n recent meeting of mill
owners at Louisville this subject of
using wheat bran as fertilizer was
again brought to the fore and highly
endorsed by those who have tested it
practically. If chemical analysis is
worth anything as n test of the fer
tiilzing value OF wheat bran, then at
the price at which it has been selling
for the last year or two it is worth
more than its cost as manure. Most
farmers, however, will prefer to feed
it TO their animals and then save the
manure. but it cannot be maintained
that anything is added to the value of
the bran as n fertilizer by this process.
