HATED WITH JOY.
The Great Drouth Broken.

Pittsburg, Nov. 25.-Pittsburg river interests are watching hhe weather with a joyous expectancy, Reports received tell of rises and rains at near ly all headwater points on the upper streams, and these with a rise of nearly two feet at Davis Island dam, have set coal operators to preparing for a stage of water that will carry down the immense fleets of coal now lying in the harbor. It is certain that a number of light tows will get away by tomorrow, and if the expectation of seven feet below Davis Island dam is realized by that time, several hun dred thousand bushels of coal will go out. All the passenger lines will be running by Wednesday and some of the rivermen even predict that by that time the harbor can be cleared of all laden craft.
 By the reopening of the rivers 20,- 900 men will be given employment from Pittsburg to Cairo, and 500 boats will resume operations after the longest drouth in the history of interior nav igation. Over $500 men will be sent out with the light stuff alone, the ma jority of which make Pittsburg their headquarters. The last full tow that went out of Pittsburg was on April bushels of coal have accumulted in this harbor and about $20, ,000 capital has lain idle because of low water.

T0-DAY'S SPECIAL ELECTION
CONSOLIDATION WILL PROBABLR
 BE EASILY CARRIED.

No Contest Looked for Except Perhaps In
 the Fifteenth-A Rig Vote Expected Town Counsel aoodhart's Decision as to Who May Vote-Saloons in the Three
 Wards Need Not Close-The Consolida-
 ton Act-An open Ballot to be Used,
 To-day the vote will be taken in the three outlying wards, the Thirteenth Fourteenth and Fifteenth, on the ques- tion of consolidation. A big vote is looked for in all three wards and those who know, or think they do, say that consolidation will carry the day In the Thirteenth ward in Westville and In the Fourteenth ward in the annex there is no strong opposition to consol- idation, but in the Fifteenth there will be some contest with the chances in flavor of supporting consolidation.
 In answer to a request from the se- lectmen, Town Counsel Goodhart yes terday gave decision in reference to the question as to who shall be entitled to vote in the three outlying wards on the consolidation act. The selectmen were undecided as to whether all the voters whose names appear on the last regular voting lists of the three wards should be entitled to vote at to-day's special election.
 In his decision MT. Goodhart says that the lists shall not govern the se- lection of those entitled to vote; that only electors who reside in any of the three wards on the day of the election may cast their ballots on the consolida- tion question. Those who have moved out of any of these wards since the last registry lists were made out will not be allowed to vote to-day.
 Prosecuting Agent Dewen yesterday decided that the saloons in the three wards, the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth, need not close to-day on &C., count of the special election, as the statute provides that saloons shall close on the days of any state, city or town election, and MT. Dewell does not con sider that the special election to-day comes under this provision, it being neither a state, city or town election.
 The selectmen have decided that the secret ballot will not be used in to-day S election, as in the legislative act relat- ing to consolidation of the town and city of New Haven no mention is made as to whether the secret ballot system shall be used and in view of this omis- sion the selectmen have decided for the open ballot.

SEAT sALE OPENS TO-DAY.
PaderewskI, the Great PIanist.


 This morning the sale of seats opens at the box office of the Hyperion thea ter for Paderewskps piano recital at the Hyperion on Tuesday afternoon, De- cember 8, at 2;SO o'clock. An exchange says:
 The most interesting number on the program was undoubtedly M. Pader- ewskis "Fantaisie Polonaise," both on account of it's novelty and because of the beauty and intrinsic merit of the work itself In considering this com position one must not forget that &C., cording to the design of the composer, l it is a fantaisie for orchestra with pia- no, and not one for piano with orches- tra, as otherwise one would be tempted
 to say that, as in so many modern concertos the solo instrument had been sacrificed to orchestral effect. But in this case the piano is only one factor in the general scheme of effect.
 To me this fantaisie lacks the poetry, picturesqueness and emotional sugges- tiveness of his piano concerto, but it is so instinct with life and force, so full of color and national character, that it fairly carries one away with it's buoy. ancy dash and energy. The melodic kernel of the whole work is contained in the first phrase given out by the full orchestra, which is atnplifed and developed in most ingenious fashion in the succeeding movements. Although the general character of the four move. ments-allegro moderati vivace, the sherzo-andante and allegro glocoso- suggests the usual symphonic form, the treatment is wholly in the style of a free fantasia, but dignified, artistic an6 musicianly, the working out of the va. rious themes being for the most part symphonic.

Amagansett, l.. l., Nov. 25.-The whaling crews on the Long Island coast have not thus far met with any success this season.

Alexandre Dumas, novelist, essayist, playwright and Academician, was born in Paris on July 2S 1924, At an early age he was placed in the Goubaux institution, and later he attended the Bourbon college. In both places young Dumas made a brilliant success as a pupil.
 At the age of seventeen young Du- mas was known as the author of a number of poems, which were publish ed in 1S47 under the title of Les Peches de Jeunesse." Later, after hav- ing made a journey with his father to Spain and Africa, he wrote "Ad- ventures de Quatre Femmes ct dun Perroquet," and in 1S43 volume which he had written in 1S41 was published under the title of La Dame aux Ca mellias." He at once became famous as a writer. and his story was drama tized and then translated into many languages.
 In 1852 Alexandre Dumas began to write for the stage La Dame aux Camellias" was his first work, drama tized from the novel of that name. Its success was even more pronounced than that of the book. It was played at the Vaudeville. It is said that when the elder Dumas saw the performance he said, while tears of joy ran down his checks:
 Tt seems that my son at seventeen was a better dramatist than l am now at forty-nine"
 Among those who have played the drama are Bernhardt, Duse and Clara Morris
 Between the years 1855 and 1870 more than fifty curtain raisers and plays from young Dumas pen were produced in the Paris theaters After the first disasters of 1870 M Dumas retired to his estate in Puys, near Dieppe. The day after the Commune he sent to a l newspaper in Rouen La Lettre sur les Choses du Jour" full of patriotism and invective against the revolutions ists. Returning to Paris in 1872, he l had a series of plays produced at the Gyrnnase. The first two pieces were "Une Visite de Noces" and La Prin- cesse Georges"
 The great success of the plays was in a measure due to Mile. Aimee Des- clee, who played the principal part Besides "La, Dame aux Camellias," his greatest dramatic triumphs have been
 Les Idees de Mime. Aubray," a com edy; ''Une Visite de Noces," La Princesse Georges" 'M. Alphonse" and ''LEtrangere.
 In 1872 he published "L'Homme Fem.
 me- which repeated the thesis of his
 novel, 'L'Affaire Clemenceau," and g dramatic version of it was produced al 1 the Gymnase in 1873 under the title
 La Femme de Claude" a play whicf
 was revived at the Renaissance the | ter by Sarah Bernharh in 1894. l M. Dumas fine collection of pictures
 was sold in 1892 for more than 100000 francs.
 1 M. Dumas was installed a member | of the French academy on February | Il, 1875, and was promoted to the rank 1 of commander of the Legion of Honor | His drama, Joseph Balsamo," based
 on his fathers romance, "Cagliostro,'
 was performed for the first time at the Odeon, on March IS, 1878. He publish 1 ed in 1880 "Les Femmes qui Tuent e | les Femmes qui Votent," in 1881 "La i Princesse de Bagdad," in 1885 Denise { and in 1887 "Francillon."
