A TRIP TO CHINATOWN.

Of Hoyts "A Trip to Chinatown, 50
which comes at the Opera House this
evening the Providence Journal says:
cone of Hoyt's productions, a Trip
to Chinatown" was the attraction at the
opera house Saturday night. The piece
has been presented here a number of
years. but not with the strong cast Of
Saturday night. It is surprising what
a capable lot of people can do with a
farce that many theatre goers think
is behind the times and has seen its best
days. AS the widow Mss Laura Big
ger was fascinating and lively. Mss
Octa Barbe as "Tony Gay" was very
much in evidence and her singing was
one of the best features Of the show.
Miss Emma Resale as the French maid
was a charmer, and in her duet dance
with Burt Haverly received no less than
five encores.

SENATOR PLArr AT OXFORD.

A Seymour man writes: It is many years since there has been such a polit- ical awakening manifested in Seymour over an out Of town meeting as there hundred and fifty persons went by car ryall in private conveyances and on bicycles to Oxford to hear the Hon. O. H. Platt discuss the political issues of the day. Beside the resident crowd there was present republicans and democrats from the country around who not only came to obtain more light on the questions involved in the pres ent campaign, some of which seem to menace the mass of people and threat en the nation with dissolution and ruin.
 Between five and six hundred persons were brought together, the town hall being filled until it could hold no more, and as many more were left outside. Among those present were many ladies' When the speaker of the evening ar rived he was escorted through blaze of red fire, sky rockets. Roman candles and other pyrotechnics and everywhere
 
 When Senator Platt was introduced he was greeted with a storm of ap plause. He spoke for nearly two hours, reviewing the issues of the campaign and making plain the points not fully understood. He said the main question at stake was one of preserving the &ao- rality, dignity, credit, honor and unity of a freeman's government.
 There are only three ways to obtain money, said the speaker and these are either to have it given to you or earn 1t by your labor or steal it.
 The speaker was listened to most in- tently, although the hall was close and the precipitation streamed down the faces of those in the audience The applause was frequent and the impress sion was general that the speech had resulted in doing good to the republi- can cause.

MOTHERS AID SOCIETY.

The managers of the Mothers Aid society, finding last spring that the patronage of Hope day nursery on Hill street was rapidly increasing, felt jus tified in buying the property and ex- pending enough to make it more suita- ble and convenient for their purpose.
 During the time of alterations and repairs, period of over two months, the nursery was necessarily closed to the children and many of the mothers were forced to give up their usual places of work in consequence.
 The nursery was reopened the Sth of September, and, while a number of children have been cared for every day since there are several women who have not yet secured work and their little children cannot be received, as the nursery only cares for them when the mother is working. Any one wish ing washing, ironing or general clean ing done can find women by applying to the matron at 107 Hill street.

ALL THE BABIES DOING WE'LL.

Comfortably Installed in Their New
 Home at the Bridgeport Hospital.
 The quartette of babies removed yes- terday from the Stiekles homestead in Stratford to the children's ward at the Bridgeport hospital were resting quiet ly this morning. They were not dis turbed by the ride and all four were as we'll as could be expected. The nurses in charge are confident that all four babies will live. This morning Mrs H. F. Raymond treasurer of the executive staff, which is in charge of the chill dren's ward, received q check for forty seven dollars from Dr. Lewis of Strat- ford, which will go toward defraying the expenses incurred in the care of the babies. The money was part of the subscriptions which have been given by residents of Stratford, and there Is still more money in the hands of Dr. Lewis which has been received from the same source. Dr. Lewis has been faithful in his attentions to the mother and to the little ones ever since their birth His services have been given without compensation and his efforts in behalf of the family have been very commendable.
 Yesterday when the children were taken to the hospital, the ladies in charge of the removal took an invento- ry of the clothing which has been do- mated to the children, and this morning were of the opinion that the needs of the little ones in this direction were amply supplied. There will, however, be need of money to support the chil- dren at the hospital, and the ladies who have charge of them look to the public to assist them in their noble work. All money contributed to the Standard will be placed in care of the executive staff, and those who contribute can rest as- sured that it will be we'll expended.
 Reed & Carnick of New York, manu- facturers of prepared baby food, will continue to furnish their product to the little ones free of charge.
