ENTERTAINMENT.
Hyperion Theater.
1.-THE cHARLATAN" To-NIGH

1.-THE CHARLATAN'' TONIGHT.
 The Charlatan," which is to be pre- sented at the Hyperion tonight by DeWolf Hopper and his capable conn pany, is a story of Russian origin set to music by Sousa in his most delight full vein. It will be refreshing to learn that DeWolf Hopper is himself in this
 new comic opera, the same Hopper who served to make theatergoers mer- ry these many years. But in "The Charlatan" he has not captured all the fun possibilities, numerous as they are. He has given Alfred Klein and George W. Barnum an opportunity to be as diverting as ever they can, and one scene in which Barnum makes love to Klein, whom he is tricked into thinking is princess, is especially laughable. The court scene in the second act is a beWildering delight of rich coloring. Comic opera in "The Charlatan" has about reached the limit of scenic and sartorial elegance.
 Besides Nella Bergen, Alice Judson,
 Alfred Klein, and Arthur Cunningham you will find it difficult to reason out
 the casting of George w. Barnum and Mark Price, two performers we'll known to straight comedy and tragedy until you SC the piece and realize the potency of their presence. Then you will real ize the casting of an opera has more to do with it's success than a casual contemplation warrants. Sale of seats

 "To-morrow evening he is to be in the city again and will be the guest of ex-Councilman Williams, He will meet the leaders of the Third ward democ- racy. It is. said that his visit here to- morrow night will be fo rthe sole pur- pose of closing the breach that has been made between Leigh and the members of the party in the Third ward by the action of George w. Lar kin, who, 1t will be remembered, left the Tomlinson ranks at the convention and stood with the Leigh adherents.
 Many in the ward disapproved of Larkin's action and for few days it was rumored that in consequence Leigh would be the sufferer just to show him that they did not approve of the affair Leigh will arrive here early in the evening and will spend most of his time in that ward. This morning he went to the valley to attend to some political work pertaining to his canvass for election. Pastors enough were left in Ansonia bearing his name to supply the whole city'

While we are praising Joshua, let US
not forget Mosesi The truth is rapidly
dawning upon the country that, If
Dewey and Schley have won unfading
laurels for their country and for them
selves. there is a crown of honor no less
the due of William Mckinley, President
of the United States. The glorious
conditions of the hour, whether reflect

in view of things antecedent In fact,
we were wrong and gladly acknowledge
it. An honest newspaper, like an honest
gentleman, will never hesitate to re-
treat from a mistaken position, nor
lose a minute in undoing an injustice.
The war with Spain followed hard
upon a period of intense domestic po-
litical and economic strife. The Ad-
ministration Of President Mckinley was
surrounded by evil and corrupt ele-
ments, and appearances justified the
suspicion that il was influenced by them
TO the detriment OF the country. Wheth-
or it was or not, is Of little moment at
| this time The declaration of war made
a "tabula rasa" of old differences and
! contentious, and, beyond that, we can
say with complete satisfaction and
| pleasure that, on the firing of the first
gun, William Mckinley, the practical
Ohio politician, passed from the stage,
and William Mckinley. the great war
President, appeared to plan victory for
| his people and to achieve for them the
benefits and glories of a new and splen-
| did colonial empire.
Prince Hal did not more suddenly or
| sternly relegate to obscurity the dis
reputable Falstaff and other loose com
panions of his evil days than Presi-
| dent Mckinley swept away from his
| official life the renegade Tories and
| despicable peace mongers who once per
meated it. The 2lst OF April saw
him seize the crown of American pa

bed Of old-tinie seclusion and provin-
cialism, and placing it on his head,
stand forth new man and worthy
counselor and leader Of the splendid

be said that, in some respects, the in

peciaIly true of the Southern States,
from which section of the country we
had been led to believe that the re-
sronse to any military call of the gen.

The manufacture Of almanacs and calendars
OF various descr pti0ns is necessarily accom-
plished many months, and even years, in ad-
vance. In the ordinary course Of affairs with
the trade those for the years 1890 and 1901 should
be well advanced, but compilers and printers
hesitate 10 go on with the work, because they
cannot quite understand what is to become Of
the odd fractions Of time arising from the fact
that 1909 will not be a leap year.
The last year when there twenty nine
days in February was in ls96, and as leap year

must undoubtedly be lost. On account Of the

years these fractions gathered up. Still it
is plain that if we have been gathering up so
many minutes too many each leap year we are
at least a number Of hours wrong, and what
call noon should really be the middle

Such are the propositions which are pulling
