poli,s Wonderland Theater.

Casters biograph will be placed on exhibition to-day for its second week at Polls Wonderland theater. Many new views will be shown, among others several pictures of New Haven scenes. Principal among these latter will be the one which shows the Yale football eleven at practice. This picture was taken at the Yale field on the Wednes- day preceding the game with Prince ton, and it is so wonderfully realistic that the faces of the players are easily recognizable even in the midst of a scrimmage. Several other local views will also be exhibited, notably the Win chester Armory employees going to din- ner, making the collection of views a highly attractive one. As an accom- panying leading feature the three Maearte sisters will present their sen sational exhibition on the swinging slack wire which has been such a dis tinctly sensational hit at Roster & Bial's during the past three months. A number of other bright artists will ap- pear, including Ward and Curran, Han ley, Logan and Hanley, Evans and Vii docq, the Abeys, Andy Amann, and Weston and Beasley. The biograph will be shown four times daily, after moons at 3 and 5, evenings at S:S0 and 10:20.

ONLY NINE YEARS OF AGE.

The youngest member of Olga Neth- ersole's company is Annette Leland, aged nine years. There are four or five pieces in the Nethersole repertoire, and as the little Miss Leland only plays in the drama, "The Wife of Scarli,' she has more or less of a sinecure She has been on the stage playing speaking parts since she was three years old. The odd thing about her is that neither her father nor her mother nor any of her relatives are connected with the stage, and where she got her very deci- ded dramatic talent is mystery.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE


 Of the Conductor of a Night Freight
 Train-Badly Hurt, But Will Re-
 cover.
 New Milford, Dec. 6.-Conductor Dovey of the night freight leaving New Haven at 7:55 in the evening for Pitts field had a thrilling experience at Brookfleld Junction last night night, although the injuries which he sus- tained neeed not prove fatal. He was switching car on a side track and the brake refused to work, and he was thrown over the side of the car, where he remained hanging to an iron rod. There was a car loaded with lumber on the next track and when Conductor Do- vey's car came along parallel he was brushed off the side of the moving car, as the space between the two was not enough to allow him to escape. The injured man was taken to New Mill ford, where Dr. Griswold was waiting for him. The doctorlfound his patient s ankle sprained and a cut on the top of his head two inches long and extending to the skull.

NO MORE TOWN FARM WORK.

Bridgeport, Dec. 6.--Five hundred men who have found employment on the improvements at the town farm during the business lull preceding elec- ton and the four weeks following are dep1oring to-day the loss of their means of sustenance. Last night these men were told that their services are no longer needed. The move is looked upon by many as unwise in view of the almost certain result that 60 per cent. of these men and their families will become town charges. They were given employment by the board of charities.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion.


 'The Sporting Duchess" Q melo- drama of exceptional excellence, will be presented for two nights at the Hype- rion, commencing tonight, The play has created a remarkable furor and its long run and profitable engagement of 300 nights is well remembered by play goers.

There are also Harry Lacy of this city, who is so we'll remembered in heroic roles and especially in "The Still Alarm" in which he starred for many 1 years; Louis Massen, R. A. Roberts, Beresford Webb, Junius B. Both and ! Harry Gibbs are all familiar names in the theatrical world. The famous Der by race scene, with its thoroughbred race horses and the fourteen mammoth pictorial scenes, are all features of this excellent attraction.
 A representatives of the Journal and Courier" witnessed the production ir Bridgeport Saturday evening, and can | promise New Haven theatergoers one 1 of the strongest dramas, with an ex- ceptionally large and we'll selected cast to be seen here this winter. The work done by Miss Sadie Converse, a New l Haven girl, for one of her short histri- l onic experience, is certainly very com mendable.

There's still, coy nook with a novel

And a generous arm chair that beck
ons to rest.
And jar of tobacco, whose wealth l
may strew
In and over the bowl of the pipe I
like best.
And there, where the incense of indo-

Above the big arm chair, the pipe and

1t seems that life's labors, its devious
turns.
But lead, after all, to this still, cozy
nook.
The noise of the world babbles distant
and soft,
And the lannon's dull rattle, the
trumpet's rude blare
Would mellow. should War hurl his
banner aloft,
For gentleness can only penetrate
there.
Tis a spot that was ever stranger

shelter 'gainst fate which no storm
ever shook.
And the hours are my comrades. who
whisper OF cheer.
