Polls Wonderland Theater.

The management of Polls Wonder land theater has found the demand to see Lumiere's cinematographe so great that by urgent request 1t has been se- cured for this week; and also another extraordinarily expensive feature has been secured in the Rossow midgets
 MT. Poli will serve the public with a second installment of the new views re- gently brought from Paris. This makes the sixth consecutive week of the cine photographic at the Wonderland. The Rossow midgets will make a second grand feature. These wonderful little men, neither of whom is over twenty inches tall, give an exceedingly skiilful exhibition of boxing and general ath- letics, their entertainment being thor oughly amusing as well as scientific. In New York, Philadelphia and Boston these lilliputian athletes have been the fad in society circles during the past year, and they will undoubtedly repeat their success here. Among the others who will figure in this weeks bill are the Casino Four, Merritt and Gallagher
 Mile Oceana, Fostell and Grady, Miss Fredie Hurr, and Kelly and St. Clair. The cinematographe will continue to be shown four times daily, afternoons at and 5, and evenings at S:SO and 10.20.

FLOATING IN THE HARBoR.

The Remains of Drowned Man Were
 Found at Canal Dock Early Yester- day Morning.
 The remains of John Smith, watch man employed at the docks of the New England Transportation company, were found floating in the harbor yes- terday morning by several sailors. They made line fast to the body and lowed it to the Canal dock, when they notified Watchman Lord, who, in turn, sent a notice to Medical Examiner White, The medical examiner re- sponded to the call and found that according to facts in the case the man's S death was the result of drowning. He ordered that the remains be sent to the norge.
 Smith was last seen alive early Sat- urday evening" and it is said that he was not in a condition to take care of himself. He refused to listen to the advice of friends and go to his home. The next that was heard from the un- fortunate man was when his remains were found. Smiths body, contrary to the rule floated, though he had not been in the water twenty four hours. Usually drowned bodies do not come to the surface for several days. The only reason the medical examiner could give for this unusual occurrence was the fleshy condition of the drowned man.
 Smith was about sixty years old. He had lost one of his legs many years
 tal.n +A ,se,t him in getting around. He had been employed around the different docks as watchman for several years. He is said to have been joiner at one time and in the employ of the railroad com pany Yesterday evening the remains were given in charge of son of the drowned man, William Smith, who lives at 129 James street, for burial.

It Will Probably Be the Largest Pri-
 vate Reception Ever Held in Bridge
 port.
 Colonel and Mrs. T. B. Warren of Bridgeport, formerly of this city, have issued invitations to a reception Oc- tober 30 at the Atlantic hotel. The re- ception will be the looming out" Of their daughter Louise, who has just concluded her school course at Bryn Mawr. The number of invitations is- sued has been very large, necessarily so because of the extensive acquain- tance of MT. and Mrs. Warren and their daughter. It will be undoubtedly the largest social gathering ever given in Bridgeport outside of a. public hall. The reception will be the first of the brilliant events of the season. Bridge port society is making ample prepara- tions for the affair.
 ANOTHER NOTABLE SOCIETY
 EVENT-WILL SING HERE.
 The musicale given in the parlors of MT. and Mrs. William D. Bishop Friday evening was a yeritable society crush. The object was for charity. and after that came the delights to be derived from the singing of MT. Archie Craw- ford.
 When Mir Archie Crawford appeared, he was greeted with enthusiastic hand cIapping. His fame had preceded him, because he had sung before the queen as well as many houses in Lendon where royalty doth congregate. The Bridgeport Farmer says: MT. Craw- ford is a typical Londoner. He is tall and fair with rosy cheeks, handsome, good natured. and above all has that delightful pronunciation which anglo maniacs endeavor to master
 Tomorrow evening Mir. Crawford is to sing in New Haven at the opening of the Carl Johan Blenner studio. Miss

Hyperion.


 Maggie Cline, who appears tonight at the Hyperion in "On Broadway" has we'll earned her unquestioned position at the top ruhg of the ladder of vaude- ville by her constant and vigorous work, She made "Arrah, Go On" and ''T'row Him Down, McCloskey," fa- nous; and they responded by giving her the deserved reputation of being the best singer of character songs in America. This season she appears in d legitimate role In her new play, which was written especially for her by Clay M. Greene and Ben Teal, Miss Cline will have the support of John C.. Sparks, we'll known Baltimore favor ite, who will be remembered here fa- vorably by his most excellent work with the Pete Daley company.

His stage settings are magnificent. 'The Artists Dream" which has been called a magic comedy, is a delicate and fanciful creation, with a weird and magician denouement The spectacular dances created and executed by Ade- laide Hermann have made a great sen- sation, both in this country and in Eu- rope, and many imitators in New York and Paris will reap rich reward this season.

ALTGELp IN NEW YORK.

New York, Oct Ex-Governor Altgeld of Illinois spoke in Cooper Union hall, this city, last evening, to an audience of about 2,500.
 He gave expression in his speech to his we'll known popocratic-populist views and defended his action as best he could at the time of the Chicago riot In his speech he said:
 At present there is, in addition to the gold standard quartet of blight ing sisters in our land, respectively called:
 Federal interference in local affairs.
 Government by Injunction.
 "Usurpation by the United States su- preme court; and fourth, corruption.
 All four are clothed in pharisaism and pretense and all recognize the gold standard as their natural or foster mother We believe that these blight ing sisters, whose smile means paraly- sis and whose embrace means death, have no more admirers among your people than they have among ours.
 This campaign is to decide, not only whether we shall perpetuate the experi- ment of this English financial system, which is prostrating our nation, but al- so whether we shall permanently adopt these four sisters into our household and make them the ruling members of the family
 In an interview before the lecture, Governor Altgeld said: T tell you, that Hanna will be swept off the Am erican continent. He can't get any thing unless he buys it.
 "He hasn't bit of show unless he buys the earth. and the turtle under it."
 Just at this time part of the First brigade went marching by the hotel.
 "Wouldn't you like to see some New York soldiers, governor" man in the party asked.
 "No," was the answer, given very curtly, as MT. Altgeld, hands In pockets, turned away from the window.
 "Is it true," he was asked, that you offered to trade Bryan votes for some for yourself?"
 "A lie, every bit of it." was the reply.
 Here's the foundation for it: I did say that I was willing to be party to a contract that the republicans should have the governorship of Illinois for a hundred years if they would agree that Bryan should be president for four years"

Grand Opera House.

Probably the best general perform ance of good opera that will be given this season will be that presented by the gifted Susie Kirwin and her opera company, which will play an engage ment of one week at the Grand opera house. beginning with the matinee to- day Susie Kirwin has for years been associated with the Wilbur Opera com pany, and the present tour will be con- ducted by MT A. L. Wilbur. In her return to the stage after an absence of nearly two years she has abandoned soubrette roles and come forward in revivals of much higher class, in- cluding such operas as "Mignon," "The Queens Lace Handkerchief" Madame Favart and a special production of Carmen" It is pleasant to know that so capable and deserving an artist has at length been enabled to gratify her ambition and take the position to which she is justly entitled. Each and every opera has been handsomely staga ed and most beautifully costumed. Miss Kirwin's individual gowns are what the ladies call "a dream m-rich and picturesque. The staging of the productions is beautiful, The princi- pals are strong unsteady, and there Is a good sized chorus of pretty girls.
 The repertoire for the first three days will be distributed as follows: Monday, matinee and evening, Madame Fa- vart;" Tuesday, matinee and evening. "The Queens Lace Handkerchief; Wednesday, matinee and evening, inee.

mittee Decides the Question.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 20.-A meeting of the
Populist executive committee was unex-
pectedly called Saturday night to consider
some new propositions presented by the
Business Mems League, of st. Louis. Aft
er discussing them for some time the COM
mittee decided to hold the national con-
vention in st. Louis on July -. This all
happened after the conference that had
been in session for two days had adjourned
without selecting location, leaving that
to be fone by the executive committee,
which was also authorized TO make date
of the convention and to revoke both date
and location if good reasons to do so
should appear.
The question of referring the matter of
selecting place of meeting to the execu
tive committee with instructions TO act
within ten.days came up at the closing ses-
sion of the conference and aroused much
discussion. 1t was finally decided in the
affirmative and the contesting cities were
requested to present new propositions TO
the executive committee today, but the
action of the executive committee as given
in the foregoing settled the business with
