One. night shortly before the curtain

Colonel j. w. Knowlton and wife, of
Bridgeport, left Saturday evening for
an extensive western trip and will be
gone about six weeks. Colonel Knowl-
ton has large interests in gold mines in
Denver, Washington territory and CAL
ifornia. One of these is now yielding,
and Colonel Knowlton intends to en-
gage a reliable man to oversee the
work Colonel Knowlton is we'll known
and has many friends in this city.
George f. Cook, the veteran livery
man of Bridgeport, will furnish fifteen
black saddle horses for Governor Cooke
and his staff to ride in New York on
Grant day. A few years ago is was a
fad for men in military parades to ride
gray horses, but now the proper thing
is black, and the Connecticut governor
will be right in style.
The New York Journal has devoted

New Britain, formerly of New Haven,
he having twice served as a pastor

the place of regular telegraph operators
and will transmit messages automati-
cally at much greater speed than at
present. The invention is the work of
| years of study of Professor Crehore in
conjunction with Lieutenant Squires of
the United States army. A descriptive
thesis was read last Wednesday even

York, Chicago and London, and consid-
cradle interest has been manifested in it
by representative men of the postoffice
department and the great telephone
and Geographic companies.

Polls Wonderland Theater.

The famous Russell brothers are the
star feature at Polls Wonderland the
alter this week. These brothers have
for years been Isominent in vaudeville,
having been for the last six years at
the head of Weber and Fields company
which is known as Russell Brothers
Comedians. They present the speciality
THE Irish Servant Girls" and it pur-
ports to give a humorous though truth
full picture of some of the trials and
tribulations that beset that familiar
parsonage, as well as the comical blum
ders into which she sometimes STUN
bles. 1t is not a caricature, but
laughable portrait of the Irish servant
girl in actual life. The Russells have
presented this speciality in every Amer
lean city, including New Haven, with
great success. Among those who have
laughed most heartily at the comical
absurdities put forth have been Irish
servant girls themselves. This is trib-
uate alike to the art of the brothers and
the sense of humor possessed by the
Irish race. An excellent company OF
vaudeville artists has been secured to
support the Russell brothers. Among
them are Mr.. Morton and Miss Revelle,
the Folly Trio, Miss Gertrude Mansfield,
Moa and Goodrich, Mr.. Kelly and Miss
Gray, Miss Edna Aug, Forks and Doyle
and others. Prices, 10 and 20 cents; la
dies in the afternoon, all parts of the

Scheme-A Funny Rube Rode About

H FL. Guernsey, who is the selling
agent for New Haven for Crescent and
Syracuse bicycles, has adopted a novel
advertising scheme. Saturday he had
an individual dressed as a Rube, who
might have come from any of the rural
localities Of the state, riding about the
city and cutting UP queer antics great
ly to the amusement of the crowds
which thronged the streets in the CEN
trail part of the city.
Mr.. Hayseed rode an old pattern
wheel, which carried placard inscrih-
ed with advice to buy the Syracuse
and Crescent. After attempting to run
over several trolley cars and taking
more or less gracefully executed tum-
bles, Rube hied himself to the Green,
where he entertained the crowd which
gathered by doing some of the fanciest
trick riding ever seen in New Haven.
AS he rode through the streets all
sorts of gibes We're flying at him, but
Rube took these all good naturally
until while passing a State street store
a clerk made a very insulting remark
concerning him. RUDE then stopped
and informed the clerk that he was
making a fool of himself for pay, while
the clerk was making fool of himself
for nothing and was, Therefore, the big
ger fool of the two.

since his retirement from office. 1t
was the occasion of the tenth annual
dinner of the Reform club, held at the

greeting was vociferous. The club
turned out 500 strong to honor the ex-
president and several of his cabinet
ministers.
Mr.. Cleveland was received standing
when he entered the tastefully decOrat-
ed banquet hall of the Waldorf amid
prolonged cheering. Before the close of
the dinner and the beginning of the
speeches the ex-president was besieged
with requests for his autograph upon
the menu cards, and line fifty deep
stood before the head table patiently
presenting menu cards to Mr.. Cleve-
land, who good naturally gratified all
His signatures followed one another as
rapidly as they did upon bills during
the last days of his term of office, until
finally John Dewitt Warner, president
of the club raped for order. Many
seekers for the autograph were then
turned aside by the veto nod of the ex-
president, who then gave his undivided
attention to the speakers.
