Augustus Thomas delightful south- ern play, Alabama" will be at the Hyperion theater tonight. Alabama" brings with it the soft airs and dreamy ouietude of the somnolent south.

LOCAL CHICKEN SHOW.

Local chicken fanciers have decided not to have a chicken show with entries open to everybody this season. One reason for this is because there is no hall in town big enough to adequately accommodate such an exhibit, the rink not being large enough and the Healy hall not being yet completed. It is probable that local fanciers will get to- gether and have little show for their own edification

A RELIC FOR YALE.
An interesting relic has been secured

An interesting relic has been secured by MT. George Dudley Seymour of New Haven, a graduate of Columbian University, Washington, D. C., but warmly interested in Yale, and will in due season be given to the university. It consists of the double doors of the house of the Rev. William Russell of Branford, Conn.,, where in the year 1700 the trustees of the future Yale College met and presented forty books, each trustee as he laid the volumes down say ing, according to the tradition, q give these books for the founding of college in this colony.'' The original house was built in 1875, and bought by MT. Russell twelve years later. It was torn down in 1885, but the doors were secured and kept in garret by Mrs. E. Russell Mann of Branford, descendant of William Russell, and from her they have been obtained by MT. Seymour, who will have them handsomely framed and presented to the university, possibly in 1901, in connection with the two hundredth anniversary of the founding.
 The doors are of cedar or pine wood, each about six feet by two, very we'll preserved, yet bearing interesting marks of old age, fitted with the original iron latch and hinge strap- pings, and the panels very firm and clearly outlined They have been roughly repaired in a number of places and bear some traces of paint. MT. Seymour has also succeeded in obtain ing a plan of the house and of the room where the founders met drawn by one of the carpenters when the building was torn down sixty-two years ago.

Having occupied himself for nearly ffty years

where he did die on Sunday. The cell window

wire to Turn Him Adrtrt.

Alonzo and Margaret Spencer OF Jersey City,
who had lived happily together for thirty.1ve
years as husband and wife. are now not only liv-
Ing apart, but are rivals In business. The
trouble, Spencer alleges. came about through
his wife taking Mrs. Freda Walters, n young
widow. into the house to live with them. Spen-
Ger objected. He is 90 years old. and his wife 81.
They kept n shoe store ut lag Bergen avenue,
and were fairly prosperous. Mrs. Spencer took
care OF the store. and her husband did repairing.
After Mrs. Walters Joined the family circle,
Spencer and his wife had numerous quarrels
about her, but she seemed TO have gained an In
fuence over Mrs. Spencer which Spencer could
not disturb. Two weeks ago Spencer went on q
spree, and, he says, while under the influence OF
liquor, agreed TO a proposition made by his wife
that they should separate. A Justice OF the Peace
drew up articles OF separation. They were duly
signed. and Mrs. Spencer, who had always car
ried the family purse, gave her husband $3.50.
Spencer has only a misty recollection OF what
he did during the next ten days. lie knows that
he continued to drink. He also remembers that
Hapte, Ind. and that Constable Meyer took him
10 the pennsylvania Railroad depot and bought
himself in Eiizabethport, y. j., without any
money and a physical wreck from excessive

visited a brother in Rhode Island. When he
became sober he went back TO his wife and tried
to make up with her. but she put him out OF the
three further efforts to effect a reconciliation
proved equally %fruitless. and then Spencer got
Constable Kaiser to goto the store and ask for his
Kit OF tools and an old unused bedstead. Mrs.
Spencer gave them up. Spencer hired a little
the corner from his old place OF business, and
started anew for himself. He partitioned OF
the rear OF the store with n curtain. and uses 1t
for u living apartment.
Neighbors advised Spencer that articles OF
separation do not necessarily give either party
possession of their joint effects unless il Is SO
specified. Lawyer Edward 4. Ransom confirmed
the opinion. Of the sympathetic neighbors. He

that no mention is made OF the store or stock In

The legislative bill to annex to New York
county that portion Of Queens county which 1t
is proposed to include In the Greater New York

Not In Proper shape TOR Introduction at Once
Attitude OF the Democrats.
ALBANY, Feb. o2.-when the report and bills
OF the Greater New York Charter mmit
were taken this evening from the clerks safes,
where they had been locked up since Secretary
Pinney brought them here on Friday. IL was
found that the bills were not in proper shape for
introduction. Only one set OF documents was
furnished for either house, and the various
documents wero all bound up together. The
rules require that when q bill Ia introduced In
either house there must be two copies OF II, and.
OF course, each bill must be introduced separately
and not bound MP with others. Chairman Aus
tin OF the Assembly Cities Committee tele-
graphed to Secretary Pinney for more copies,
and received the reply that they would be sent
tonight.
The report was handed down in both houses
and was referred to the respective committees
on cities. When Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff presented
the report in the Senate, Senator Ellsworth, tho
Republican leader, said II had been hoped that
the bills would be in proper shape for introduce
ton at once. Senator Cantor. tho Democratic
leader. asked what programme had been ar
ranged for the onsideration OF the bills and was
told that he would have 10 Ind out from the
Cities Committee, of which lac is a member.
Of the bills. ali Hight. be said. but II they Sre
to be railroaded through. we want to know It,"
tional copies OF the report should be printed. and
at this point the discussion was cut short by the
decision Of the Lieutenant-G Governor that II was
not in order.
When the report and bills were handed down
in the Assembly. Mr.. Finn, the. Democratic
leader. oontented himself with calling attention
to the fact that the commission had not reported
as required by law. lie would make no objec-
ton 10 the reception Of the report, as he sup
posed that everything about the charter could
be made regular by subsequent legislation. Is
not likely that any hearings ON the charter bills
will he held this week, and II n recess is taken
for the Inauguration a further delay will result.
Senator Cantor said tonight that he should OPP
pose the provision OF the charter which calls for
a four-headed police commission, he will seek
to have an amendment adopted for n single
headed commission and a separate bureau Of
elections. II Is probable that he will also oppose
the twochambered legislature and possibly the
Mayors power OF removal.
