ton by having the platform In front Of the Senate

novation in the nature of an aHron and felt
further hurt because each Senator received four
tickets to the stand while a Representative secured
only two.

Grand Opera House.


There was large audience at the
Grand last night, the attraction being
the New Eight Bells" The piece Is
a series of mirth-provokin incidents,
strung along on the most attenuated
sort of a plot. Such play depends
almost entirely upon the ability of the
company which produces it, and last
nights company was good John F.
Byrne, the proprietor, author and in
ventor of mechanical effects, was the
life of the show. His versatility and
physical endurance is something Won
derful, He is also something of an ar
tist and his crayon sketches won de-
served applause. Mr.. Byrne Is sup
ported by his brothers, who are clever
acrobats and pantomlmists, after the
Hanlon style. The scene on ship board,
where adjoining staterooms are shown,
and in which the big ship finally re-
wolves like a squirrels cage, is very
amusing. The statuary pictures and
the acrobatic quadrille in the last act,
are also very entertaining features of
one of the liVellest shows of the season.
There are a number of pleasing special
ties introduced by James and May Fan
son, Griffin and McEvoy, John and
Helen Byrne.
The piece will be repeated this and
tomorrow nights and at a matinee to-
morrow.

A Wedding Service Which Was Repeat
ed-New Haven Bridegroom.
Southington, April 22.-It is not often
a couple are married twice for the same
fee, yet such was the case yesterday in
the M. E. church when Miss Irenette,
daughter of Mrs. Leonidas Camp, was
married to Benjamin Fuller Rowland of
New Haven. A large party of relatives
and friends had assembled to witness
the ceremony, which was performed by
Rev. E. K. Greed.
They listened attentively to the read
ing of the service and the taking of the
vows, the service being a modified Epis-
copal form. They We're surprised when
the service was repeated. The officiat-
ing clergyman had failed to add the
groom's last name. That was all, but
it made another ceremony necessary.
Howard Hotchkiss of New Haven was
best man, and Miss Cora Wakeley of
Ansonia was bridesmaid. A reception
followed at the brides home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rowland will be at
home at 112 Whalley avenue, New Ha-
ven, after June 1.

WILSON'S "HALF A KING"
In Half a King" which is at the
Hyperion tonight and tomorrow
night, there is a meeting not of rich
| men, but of poor men, beggar men and
! thieves, and they come, some in rags
| and some in tags, and some in velvet
gowns, the velvet gowns, alas! tattered
and torn and solled with many a wine
stain, to the marriage of the daughter
of the king of the motley tribe. He's
| a merry hummer called '"Tireschappe, ="
and he is going to marry his daughter
Pierette to his assistant mountebank,
Mistigris; this wedding Is not done by
a-jumping a broomstick, but it is SOL
emnized by the smashing of picture.
Here they are, these knights of the
| Cur1bstOne; some hold torches and
some blow trumpets, and they meet
in the most picturesque part of Paris,
that Paris which existed when long
| before France sought wife from Aus
| tria; there are queer, low houses, with
| pointed roofs and dormer windows, the
kind that the gentlemen of the court
slid over; don't you remember how
Charles and his gentlemen counted this
great sport? 1t was not considered
strange in those days that king and
beggar, gentleman and rdbber, should
be friends, and that the man who yes
| terday was in the palace of the Duke
| de Chateau Margaux might be to-mor-
row in the cave frequented by the beg
gar. This markedly successful opera is
worth seeing, even if you do not care
| for music-and much of it is good-it is
worth while to see this Paris the Paris
of 1850. Those were wonderful days
| Those were the days when women fell
down and worshipped the queen as she
walked and then away from her, talk
| ed of her as "the Austrian woman
| Those were the days when the skies
! were red, as if with blood; the heavens
were trying to tell of the horrors to
| come Those were the days when peo-
| pie danced on the brink of a precipice
| and enjoyed It, 1t is worth your while
seeing a good stage picture of those
days. Sale of seats now open.
PRISCILLA.
Priscilla" which scored such big
success when presented here last

| Dy the same cast dS on the previous
occasion for the benefit of the Woman's
Seaman's Friend society. It's simple,
/ pleasing situations, its quaint dialogue
it's dry humor, its tuneful, catchy airs

William J. Hill, a peddler Of Fair
Haven, was sentenced to six months
in Jail in the city court yesterday
morning on the charge of embezzlement
by bailee. Hill and Michael j. Con-
ners hired a horse from Jacob Friedel,
a liveryman on East Grand avenue on
April /, to go peddling. They drove the
horse to Waterbury and Hill sold it
there to a Russian for $40. The evil
dence showed that Corners had no
part in the sale of the horse and judg-
ment was suspended in his case.
CORRIGAN'S CASE CONTINUED.
Edward Corrigan, who is charged
with the theft of 100 feet of garden
hose from the Bradley. Damn & Car
rington company, was yesterday in the
city court.
Corrigan's method has been to go to a
dealer and tell him that a well known
resident had sent him there after so or
100 feet of hose, as the case might be.
AS there were six merchants who would
not give Corrigan the hose, as many
residents have been surprised to re-
ceive reels of hose which they had not
ordered.
Corrigan gave the name of James
Gordon to the man to whom he sold the
hose he got from the Bradley, Damn &
Darlington company Corrigan was
caught by Detective Sergeant Cowles,
who had been looking for his for sew
eral days. His case was continued.

Burning Leaves in Her Yard
Westport, April 22.-Miss Mary Brad

some leaves in the yard. Her screams

who succeeded in extinguishing the
flames by rolling Miss Bradley on the
ground. She was burned so badly above
the waist that the skin peeled in por-
tons off her body.
