Washington March In the
senate Mr.. Perkins rep, CALI, of the
committee on naval affairs, presented
a bill as report upon the Bacon res
'olution providing for the erection in
statuary hall of the capitol of bronze
memorial tablet commemorative of the
two officers whose lives were lost in
the Maine disaster. The resolution
was SO amended as to provide for the
erection of the tablet at some suitable
place in the capitol. AS amended
the resolution was adopted.
When a motion was renewed that
the senate disagree to the house bank
ruptcy bill and committee on con-
ference be appointed, Mr.. Stewart (sil.
rep, COLI, commenced a speech in
support of the motion and had not
concluded when the Alaska homestead
and right-of-way bill was laid before
the senate.
Washington, March The house
entered upon consideration of the Loud
bill regarding second class mail mat
ter. The bill is identical with the
bill passed by the last congress, but
Mr.. Loud, it's author, gave notice of
an amendment permitting the trans
mission at pound rates of sample
copies up to ten per cent. of the bona
fide circulation of newspaper peiod-
lcals. This amendment removes
much opposition to the bill. Mr..
Loud made an exhaustive speech in it's
favor, claiming that the government
now virtually gives $40,000,00O to
proprietors of publications which get
access to mails at pound rates, as the
cost of transporting mails and it's
handling averaged eight cents per
pound. Before Mr.. Loud began his
speech he yielded the floor to Mr..
Henrichsen (rep., ILL.,, who presented
some resolutions adopted by the Illi-
nois Press association, endorsing the
bill with the amendment of which Mr..
Loud had given notice. He read ii
letter from Mr.. Day of the National
Editorial association, which declared
that with this amendment the bill
would work no hardships to- news
papers and meet with the approval
of the press associations of Illinois,
Indiana and Michigan. Mr.. Moon
(dem., Temp spoke in opposition to
the bill and Mr. Perkins (rep., Ia)
in favor of it.

THE COMING BIG BOUT.

All the pugilists who meet at the new Music hall next Thursday night are all ready for their contests, which take place under the auspices of the New Haven Athletic club, and the way that tickets are selling the prospects are that the house should be packed. A better card was never seen in this state and all who witness the contests will certainly get a good run for their money. The Leon and Munroe go is attracting attention all over the state and 1t should be one of the hottest con- tests that has ever taken place between little fellows. Both are clever and will put up the fight of their lives. They box for $500 purse, $500 to the winner, S100 to the loser, and the winner be- comes the bantamweight champion. Leon, who is stopping at the Savoy with his trainer, Charlie White, knows that in Munroe he meets the cleverest boy he ever met and will be in the best of condition. Munroe is also in tip-top shape and will be in the best condition he was ever in in his life, so a good bout is assured. Black Griffo will ar- rive here to-day and will finish his training for his fifteen-round go with Tommy Butler in this city. Paul Kelly is also expected here by Tuesday and will give a good account of himself with Benny Leon, whom he boxes ten rounds at 11S pounds. Sam Austin, the old reliable, will be referee.

with the most Imaginable situations. The actors give the lines and business people treatment and win applause at every turn.
 The acrobatic act of the Three Brothers Forums is unique and amusing creation of fun and skill. The trio are excellent athletes and have a very comical way of demonstrating their ability.
 In the olio there were many acts of more than ordinary merit. Miss Ola Hayden, the female tenor, made big hit by singing the New York Journals new patriotic song, "Old Glory" and won several recalls. Miss Hyberthea Pryme proves to have talent as well as relationship to President McKin- ley and was well received. Others in the bill are Harry Stanley and Adele Jackson, Hilland Whitaker, McMahon

The robber pried open the rear door and ransacked the entire house from celalr to garrett Many articles were csattered over the floor and when the family returned they found everything topsy turvey. Two gold watches. gold rings and several other articles of jew elry were missing. MT. Foote is em- pIoyed by Cooper, the Montowese gro- cer.
 Irwin Frost's home was next visited. Before attempting to effect an en- trance he knocked at the door and the thief asked the person responding the time of day. When told he pulled one of the stolen watches from his pocket and set it. He thanked his informer ana walked away, gong to the home of William Larkins, where he gained an entrance by prying open a side win dow. The first floor of the house was ransacked and S12.50 in cash taken. Nothing else was missed.

ENTERIAINM ENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

Hyperion Theater.
 The popularity of the Wilbur opera company was clearly demonstrated by the large audience which was present at both performances yesterday. It is singular fact that MT. Wilbur brought his company to the Hyperion some seventeen years ago and presented "The Mascotte," this being his first venture in the operatic line. To-day his name is known throughout the country as the originator of the popu- lar-price operas in America. Yester- day afternoon he opened with the same opera, "The Mascotte," and it was highly enjoyed by an audience which completely filled the house. The opera last night was 'The Royal Middy" and many old friends of the company were present ito welcome a return for a weeks engagement. It was given with the spirit and dash which is so prom inent a characteristic of the perform ances by this company. Miss May Baker handled the role of Fanchette in most satisfactory manner and was warmly greeter Miss Hattie Richard
 
 as usual she repeated her former suc- cesses. MT. Kohnle won the most ap- plause of any of the principals and his | work as the colored servant was ad- mirable. His buffoonry last night was one of the hits of the performance. At every performance the value of MT. Clark's voice to the company becomes more apparent. J. E. Conley was also most excellent and his solos were ac- | corded flattering reception Gus Vaughn and Emmel Drew, two old time favorites, repeated their former successes. Miss Lillie Taylor was also most acceptable.
 Most of the singing was done by the principals. The chorus was not heard often, but their singing was above the average. Mir. Darling's skill as an or chestra director has been in evidence | for many years.
 | The living pictures are the closing features of the performance, and to l Miss Maud Daniels, the charming man. ager for MT. Wilbur, is due the greater share of credit, for they are under her l personal direction.
 Tonight during the play thirty 1 minute minstrel performance will be given. At the matinee to-day 'The I Grand Duchess" will be produced and tonight "The Bohemian Girl'' will be sung All should remember the prices l 10 cents, 20 cents and 30 cents. l MT. Bunnell is now giving his whole l time for the care and comfort of his
 Hyperion patrons. Wednesday, March
 2, will be ladies' souvenir matinee day
 The matinee curtain rises at o'clock | sharp.
 The illuminated sign in front of the theater was used for the first time last | night.

Polls Wonderland Theatre.

You wouldn't think there were two other matinee performances in town if their effect was looked for in the Won derland audience yesterday afternoon and at night it was the same story. Just the usual Monday crush and nothing else. The show as anticipated went with great success. The feature acts are right up to expectation. His Wife's Hero" written by George Co., han and played by Fred Hallen and Mollie Fuller, is the liveliest little play seen for a long time in the house. It hasa snap and go to it alt the time

THE TELEPHONE SERVICE.

One Thousand Miles of Wire Went
 DownL Last Week-Remarkably Quick
 Repairing.
 The Southern New England Tele- phone Co. made a big record the past week replacing the wires destroyed by the devastating ice storm in the north west part of the state. All wires in Litchfield county went down a week ago yesterday. Six exchanges were made useless. All told something over q thousand miles of wire went down and 602 telephone subscribers were cut off
 When asked concerning the situation yesterday morning President Tyler said all of the exchanges were in prop CT working order and that out of the total number Of subscribers cut off by the blizzard 54S were again working. The remaining stations are on very long lines and mostly public stations, not subscribers.
 General Superintendent Baker on Sunday had over thirty men working on the trunk line alone, between Tor rington and Winsted. The result is communication is restored.

SELF-HY YPNOTISM
Is Practiced UnconsciousIy by People Day
 by Day.

by Day.
 In order to continue a habit, some people will put up with more misery day by day than they would stand for any other cause.
 For instance man may have daily twinges of neuralgia or stom- ach trouble or weakness of the heart Gall having their origin in a dis arranged nervous system) and be told many times that he could be rid of his misery by leaving off the drugs, tobacco and coffee that cause the trou- bIe. But he stoutly asserts that they don't hurt him and are not the cause of his trouble Why one man said, q left off coffee and tobacco once for two weeks and I felt like a fighting cock, but couldn't stand the powerful desire and had to take them up again
 Such experiences show the real hyp- notic character of habit and these hab- it's are, to an extent, breaking down the race. When a man shakes off the hyp- notism he clearly sees that bounding health and the ability to hold up ones 1 head like man, to do ones life duty and have the ability to carry out busi- ness projects successfully is worth l more than all the habits on the face | of the earth when coupled with daily aches and ails and an ever increasing | inability to make things go. Mans great object in life is happi- ness and to portray as nearly as pos 1 sible the perfect man designed by the 1 Creator.
 Narcotic habits, like coffee and to- bacco, break him down by as sure a law as that by which the sun rises each morning. It is easy to break the spell of coffee if Postum Food Coffee is used, for when it is properly boiled it has the color and flavor of Java coffee and yet contains nothing but the most | powerful food elements selected with especial reference to their ability to restore the delicate tissue in brain and nerve centers. The trade mark, Tt makes red blood" covers profound 1 truth.

Grandonera Honse.


 Washburns big double minstrel show opened a two days engagement with special matinee yesterday to large au- diences, both afternoon and evening. The curtain rose on very attractive first part. The introductory overture brings out the entire company. Both white and colored artists acted with vim which was highly appreciated by the audience. Sam Horner and Lew Benedict are on the principal ends and kept the audience ill an uproar with their witty sayings and funny songs The olio is deserving of special men, tion Lew Benedict in monologue, James Moore with his illustrated song sheet, the drill of the White and Black Hussars, Martino and LeClaire in con- tortion, and Balandy trapeze are very interesting. The Acme quartet sang some very pleasing selections Horner and Hall do know about act in which they endeavor to show how much pounding a man can stand and still live. Weaver and Platt are surely the male sopranos as billed on the pro- gramme. Frank Berry and Jack Hughes do a musical act which is sim ply immense, and is without doubt the best musical act ever introduced in this theater. The show closes with the bioscope which is wonderful.

 THE HEART OF CHICAGO"
 Lincoln J. Carter's Heart of Chica- go" comes to the Grand opera house Wednesday and Thursday. The story | told is a powerful one of love and in- | trigue and of greed for gold. In the | first act a section of the great Chicago | fire is represented with wonderful fidel- | ity to detail and thrilling effect. Hordes of excited people flee from the 1 burning district carrying their most | precious belongings, plunging horse men, flying cobs, terrific explosions. l falling walls, falling embers, grooming wind and a hundred other matters of l detail render the stage illusion perfect Not less worthy of praise is the fa- ! nous approaching engine scene. Other | scenes are a birdseye view of the Chi cago harbor and the south side at night. The Masonic Temple, Prof | Gardner's theater during a perform ance, typical Chicago street scene and the worlds fair Court of Honor during a night illumination. Matiuees will be given both days
