CREATED SOME INTEREST.

Probability Of Interference by Powers

WASHINGTON, Apri. 16.-Much inter.
est was expressed among senators in

they generally expressed the opinion
that the report was based upon actual

nothing moro probable than that the

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater. MODJESKA.

Mary Stuart" which has been se- lected for Modjeska's appearance at the matinee at the Hyperion on Monday is a romantic, though tragic drama, and Schiller's conception of the unhappy queen is intensely interesting, and pos sesses its greatest charm in putting familiar historic characters into almost real and living perspective. In this character Modjeska appears at her best, her magnetism, charm of man ner, womaniy tenderness, violent pas sion and profound pathos, making Mary's sufferings appear as her own. Besides Mary Queen of Scots such characters as Earl Leicester, Earl Bur- leigh Mortimer and Queen Elizabeth are represented all by sterling actors, and as complete scenic production is promised, veritable artistic treat may be looked for. At the evening perform ance Shakespeare's Macbeth" will be presented with Madame Modjeska as Lady Macbeth. The sale of seats is now open and seats are in good de- mand.

A DOUBLE DROWNING.
A Cat and Muskrat Fight Int
 

A Cat and Muskrat Fight Unto
 Death.
 A down town resident in Portland is mourning the loss of a devoted cat and until to-day was unable to discover anything concerning it's disappearance. The cat, in addition to it's devotion, was fond of catching rats, and when the supply about the neighborhood played out it repaired to the river, where muskrats were to be found in numbers. One day last week the cat met it's match in tackling a big muskrat and missed it. The rat ran for the water and the cat followed. The chase led into the water, but the cat was not to be shaken off. Near the first pier of the highway bridge the rat dived under the water, but soon after arose and the cat happened to be right near him. The fight was then desperate and concluded by both sinking beneath the water. It was witnessed from the bridge and solved the absence of that too-devoted cat.-Middletown Tribune.

INTERESTING cUR1os1T1Es.

Frank D. May of South Main street, East Hartford, is the possessor of an interesting collection of marine and family curios. Foremost among the former is a god or idol obtained by his uncle, Captain George May, on Easter Island. in the South Pacific. This isl- and is at latitude 28 south and longitude 110 west and is some distance southeast of the Philippines. The idol was given to MT. Mays father in 1853 by his un- cle. It is of some tropical wood very dark and very hard and represents an emaciated Malayan cannibal with nut-cracking chin. Second among the marine souvenirs is a loading mallet taken from the British ship Resolute, Captain Kellett, abandoned while im- bedde in a field of ice in Wellington Sound, in 1854, part of an expedition under Sir John Franklin. The Reso- Iute was rescued by the American ship George Henry, Captain Buddington, of New London. The mallet. was pre- sented to c. B. May, Mir. Mays father, by Seaman George Hughes of the Hen ry. It was used for loading old time rifles. A whales tooth etched by an artist on Captain George Mays ship is another souvenir, as is a walrus skull with two tusks obtained in Arctic re- gions.
 An o1d-time primer. "The Reformed Pastor" printed in 1856, and a~"His- tory of the English Revolution of 16SS," printed in 1725, are other curios. An Arabian drinking cup, a lantern made of tin encased in a wood frame, a tri- partite candle mold and a warging pan are still other articles
