Polls Wonderland rhonter.

Granjeau and May continue to draw big houses at the Wonderland. They give such an extraordinary exhibition, combining so much of the sensational and amusing that interest never lags in their performance. William H. Daily, too, keeps the interest alive with his clever parodies of the catchy popu- lar songs. The Misses Swinburne and Howard, Napier and Lothian, Miss Gladys Van, the Sankey brothers, Pete Shaw, the Emmet trio and the Durell twin brothers furnish the rest of the entertainment, which is of a delight fully refreshing and attractive charac- ter throughout. For next week MT. Poli has secured bill which is of an almost exclusively comedy character, including such artists as the well known Manhattan Comedy Four, George K. FIesere and Richard German, Frank Burt, Evans and Andrews, Miss Bland, Shayne and Worden and many others,

WALLINGFORD.

Benjamin Hall is well to do farmer in East Wallingford. His house is sit- uated near the line of the water main from Paugh pond, but, unlike some of his neighbors, on the principle of econ- omy, he has not connected with the water supply, and in consequence dur ing the cold weather has had to drive his large herd of cattle to a spring some distance away on his farm to wa ter, and owing to the extreme cold weather of late 1t was necessary to cut a large hole in the ice which had formed in the spring to enable his stock to quench his thirst. One day recently he started his herd of cattle down to the spring for the usual drink, and later went down to the spring himself, and was mortified to find one of his choicest blooded heifers standing on its head, and the head end at the bottom of the spring, while the other animals were unable to get any drink themselves. The heifer, of course, was dead, a clear case of unintentional suicide.
 There was but little trotting on the lake yesterday, although several were out enjoying the sleighing over the smooth course. The Meriden pacer did not show up, as the owner and driver, who showed such great vocal powers Wednesday in trying to get "Dr. L." and "Starmount" to break, and suc- ceeded to a certain extent, was unable to "holler," in fact he was hardly able to whisper, owing to the strain on his throat.

Grand Onern House.

A smashing business was done by the Wilbur Opera company last even- ing. The opera was the ever popular "Bohemian Girl" and it was sung in fine manner and we'll staged The sign, standing room only" had to be displayed. The chorus sang spiritedly and the principals seemed to catch the infection of large and friendly house and put lots of life and energy into their work. MT. Amsren made a hit as Devilhoof and evolved consider able comedy out of things that in other hands would have been sombre The Thaddeus of Mr. Conley was all that could be desired. His tenor solos cap tivated the house. Mr. Clark had a great part in Count Arnheim and made the most of his opportunities. Miss Mortimer made q sweet and effective Airline, and received constant commen- dation. Miss Lillie Taylor is generally given trying parts, but is equal to the task of appearing as maid forlorn or a woman of garnish temper In the role of the gipsy queen she was most
 
 ceptable as F1orenstein. That the Will burs carry capable people in their chorus is shown by the frequency with which members of the chorus are called on to fill minor parts. Miss Helen York played a small part in the opera prettily, and Gus Vaughn also handled his lines in good style,
 The living pictures are much admired, especially "Trilby." Miss Yorke. a very pretty girl, poses as "Trllby," and dis plays a most beautiful foot, which is placed upon dainty silk cushion sur rounded with flowers. This picture Is always loudly applauded. The matinee prices are 15, 25 and 35 cents. Miss Belle Hamilton is seen with her smiling countenance at the box office window to greet the purchasers. Miss Hamil- ton sells tickets for the matinees daily.
 The following is the repertoire for the rest of the week. At the matinee to-day Merry War will be sung, and Indiana" tonight. Saturday after noon Nell Gwynne" will be sung and on Saturday night "Falka" will be pre- sented.
 Ups and Downs of Life" will be pre- sented the first three nights next week. The author has enriched his play with true artistic insight. An ex- change says: Last evening MT. r, A, Scudamore's new play, "The Ups and Downs of Life," was produced for the first time in London and was favor ably received by a large house.

Puzzled. From Truth.1

The young man who had Morgan county mud on his stoga boots, and who was clinging rather faniliarly to lamp-post, beckoned to the idle pass er-by.
 Shay" asked the young man, '"is the officer on this beat a Irishman or a Dutchman?"
 The passer-by said he didn't know, and would have gone on, but the young man made a sort of pervasive grab and succeeded in catching him by the coat.
 "Tell you how it is," explained the young man from Morgan. I've come to town hereto town here--and I've put just about enough of them beers that they give a oyster with under my belt that jic-jlst got to holler or bust And I thought I'd kinder find out whether I better sing 'Wearin' of the Green or The Watch on the Rhine. !"

INCANDESoENT LAMPS.
Discussion of the Theory That They Are Capable of Starting Fires.
 From Cassiers MaaaZine1

Capable of Starting Fires. From Cassiers Magazine.l
 | A few very simple experiments that
 any one can make will answer this
 question in a fairly conclusive way and
 will furnish an interesting demonstra-
 tion of the extent of incandescent lamp | fire risks under certain conditions.
 Those who lack the opportunity to make the trials for themselves will find the results which they undoubtedly
 would have obtained in a report sub
 mitted short time ago to John Lind say, chief of the St. Louis fire depart ment, by A. J. O'Reilly, supervisor of city lighting.
 The investigation which MT. O'Reilly
 made was prompted by recent fire in that city, supposed to have been start ed by an incandescent lamp lying against couple of wooden poles, and
 his conclusions, which have since been borne out by similar tests repeated sev- eral times, are decidedly to the effect that an incandescent lamp may, under favorable circumstances, cause fire.
 Where the ignitable material was in a vertical position and the lighted lamp simply rested against it, MT. O'Reilly found that in the case. of white pine spot one inch in diameter and having light-brown tolor appeared after about four hours. Tn the case of var nished oak, well seasoned, the varnish became blistered in three minutes and blackened in about fifteen minutes. The wood had the appearance of being charred at and near the point of con tact, but was not ignited.
 A dry, white pine board began to smoke after forty minutes, but, through breaking of the lamp, the test stopped at that point. With a lamp in- cased in two thiclxnesses of muslin, the latter began to scorch in one minute. in three minutes gave off considerable smoke and at the end of six minutes, when the muslin cover was removed from the lamp and fresh air reached its interior, 1t burst into flames. Where lamp was laid on inflammable material, the effect seemed to be more rapid, due, probably, to the pressure exerted by weight of the lamp. A newspaper was in this way carbonized in three minutes and ignited in forty-five. The lamps used in the trials were all of sixteen candle power, and the results satisfied MT. Lindsay, as'they will probably sat isfy many others, that fires may some times be very properly ascribed to what has generally been regarded as an ab- solutely safe form of light.
