All scenes are laid in mili- tary camps, and all the actors, that is, all the men, wear the United States army uniform. Then the situations, as the plot develops, are of character to set the blood tingling The plot deals largely with the subject of prenatal ism.

By a grim per- versity of fate young Gray become a soldier under General Crook. and de- serts in the first action. In the last act a volunteer is called for to carry vital message to Colonel Gray's camp, which is hemmed in by the enemy. Young Gray, having regained his courage by peculiar wound, volunteers to go and rides through band of Indians with the chances of twenty to one against him, thereby saves his fathers com mand from a fate like Custers.

NEW HAVEN ORPHAN AsYnUM.
Donation Day To-day--Give Bountifully
 to the Orphans,

10 tne OrpnAnS'
 One of the features of the New Ha- ven orphan asylum Donation day is the afternoon visit to the asylum by the committee, After spending the morning calling upon the public for donations, the members assemble at headquarters and escort the long line of loaded trucks to the asylum, car- riages being generously loaned to the committee free of charge by the various liverymen in the city.
 At the asylum the committee is re- ceived by the lady managers and the trustees, who show them about the buildings and grounds. The children are assembled in the school room, where interesting exercises are render ed by them, after which prizes are pre- scented by several members of the com mittee.
 The evening reunion and banquet titly closes a hard days work. This supper in the early days of the Donation Day association was provided by the presi- dent but as the committee grew in size it was wisely voted that each nem- Der should pay for his own supper. It is an occasion combining the necessary business of the committee with pleas ure, and secures the permanency of the Donation Day association.

Polls Wonderland Theater.

Not since Lumiere's cinematographe was first placed on exhibition at Polls Wonderland theater has it been more enjoyed than this week, when the col lection of views is easily the best of the whole engagement. The scene depict ing London fire company turning out In response to an alarm, and that DOT traying a cavalry troop taking the hurdles, are alone an exhibition that would offer entertainment to any au- dience. The other views are also capi- tai. Miss Gertrude Mansfield's beauti- fully artistic singing is another rarely enjoyable feature that appeals particu- larly to those who have an ear for cul- tivated vocalism. Other bright enter tainers in the cast are the four Nelson sisters, George w. Day, Mackie and Walker, Clayton and Grant, the four Beech children and Charles and Mae Stanley. Next week the Rossow mid gets.
