poLr's woNDERLAND THEATER.

The enormous crowds that were pres ent at every performance yesterday and last evening at Polls Wonderland the ater were loud in praise of the excel lent show given, and there was no dis counting the enthusiasm shown when the Newsboys' Quintet sang their mer- ry glees and tuneful choruses. These remarkable little fellows certainly have phenomenal voices, which evidence careful training in the rules of harmo- ny. Charles Harris and Miss Nellie Walters make lots of fun with their lively and amusing politico-comedy y sketch, "A Lamp Inspector" in which MT Harris throws some very interest ing side lights on local political mat ters. MT. Will F.

Looking for Connecticut Coast Toriifica-
 tions--Dofenseless Condition of Long
 Island sound.
 Washington, Jan. Hast evening Congressman Sperry said that he ln- tended to introduce a bill upon the re- assembling of the house making an ap- propliation for the fortihcation of the eastern end of Long Island sound and the approaches of New Haven. "A few years ago." said MT. Sperry, ''in November, 1891, the chamber of com merce of New Haven called the atten- tion of the country to the defenseless condition of Long Island sound and the Connecticut coast, and passed a resolu- tion favoring Qualifications at the east end of Long Island sound at a place known as the Race, and also recem- mended that New Haven and vicinity should be fortified,
 "The chamber of commerce called at tention to the fact that New Haven would probably be a point that would be specially sought out by an enemy in case of war which, Of course, we do not look for, This bill, which I shall introduce, although it has be2n called | forth by the action of the New Haven chamber of commerce, has a general application to the bill introduced in the senate by Senator Squire of Washing ton, the chairman of the committee on coast desenses"
 This bill of Mir. Sperry's will be re- ferred to the committee on military af- fairs, and it is probable, in view of the great interest which has been recently evinced in the condition of our coast Notifications, that it will be reported at an early day to the house for ac- l ton.

WAGNER AND KELLY.
Two Troublesome Characters Finally
Disposed Of.

Harry Wagner and Frank Kelly, two
of the most unSavory characters that
have disgraced Sacramento for many
days by their presence, were before the
Police Court yesterday to answer TO
charges of vagrancy.
Wagner is well-known in police circles
and was one of the ringleaders of the
old Gold Dust gang, which was corralled
last spring and all the members of
which, except Wagner, are now doing
time in the Folsom Prison. He escaped
the fate of his confederates by turning
States evidence.
He was recently arrested for compile
ity in the Poheim robbery on a state
ment made by his friend Lambert, but
at Wagner's trial Lambert refused to
reiterate the statement on the ground
that it would incriminate himself, and
Wagner once more went free.
Every move he has made since his ar
rest has been watched by the officers,
until they finally concluded it was un-
safe to allow him longer to remain at
liberty He was ''vagged" accordingly.
and yesterday entered plea of guilty
He, however, expressed a desire to
leave the city, stating that he intended
to ship on man-of-war. and rather
than have the city longer inflicted with
his presence Justice Davis willingly
gave him six months in the County Jail,
and suspended the commitment for
twenty-four hours to allow him to join
the navy.
Kelly was less fortunate. He, too, was
declared guilty. but did not come under
the "foater" act He will serve 100
days on the county rockpile.

THE EVENING OF LIFE.
Old Age May Keep Much Of the Bright
ness and VfQor of Youth


Everyone is familiar with the shrunken
look Of the aged, the wrinkled face, the
thin legs and bowed form. the changed
tone OF the voice and the weak action Of
the bodily organs. Few old people are
equal to the muscular effort of earlier
years. The nerves shrink, hearing, sight.
taste and appetite lose their keenness. Is
it not sad?
And yet there are thousands of old peo-
pie who manage to keep as bright as ever.
They have the strength to keep up them.
Here is a remarkable instance which is
worth reading:
Mr. Alfred P. Chapman, 20 Hanover ST.,
Baltimore, says: My grandmother, who
is now past 30 years Of age, has been using
Duffy's pure malt whisky for about three
years, and it has acted in her case al
most like charm, always giving her an
appetite and allaying any disorder of the
stomach. 1t is an excellent thing for
elderly people who require tonic as well
as a stimulant."
The above is only one of hundreds Of
testimonials equally convincing They
prove that In all cases of weakness moth
ing produces such a strengthening effect
as Dunys pure malt whisky. 1t gives
stmulatlve nourishment to the worn out
system. stlrs up the torpid blood en-
r1ches 1t and Quickens the circulation.
In purchasing from grocers or druggists
be careful to get Duffy's and nothing else.
