ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater. A FEM ALE DRUMMER.


 Charles F. Blaneys latest farce com edy, "A Female Drummer" with John- stone Bennett, the clever lady who af- fects blatantly masculine attire, was given at the Hyperion last night and will endure throughout the week. The production was witnessed by a goodly company and despite the torrid tenn perature the theater was cool and com- fortable and the audience could even applaud in expression of it's enthusiasm without undue discomfit. Johnstone Bennett Is clever and versatile woman and her undoubted talents are we'll dis played in this present vehicle. The en- tire performance rests upon her should CTS and 1t is a severe test of her mag netism. She bears the burden manful- ly sartorially Che word is used advised ly) and the impression borne away from last nights performance was merely a strengthened conviction of the verity of her various stunts" She has real humor, an unusual virtue in woman, and her reiterated "Now wouldn't that jar your" was simply de- licious.
 The play is farce of the usual order by Charles E. Blaney, who has won success, if not distinction in this line. The music, which Is designated on the programme as Original is by Maurice Levi. Several competent and numerous comedy people are in the cast Among the former may be mentioned Lizzie Melrose, who does tough girl particu- larly well, George Richards Eugene Garfield and Willis F. Sweatman, These three gentlemen comported themselves in manner calculated to fully main tain, if not to enhance their previous regulations. The comedy persons, prin- cipally female of course, are too nu- merous for special mention. After all Johnstone Bennett was ''the show" and as the weight of the burden rested upon her, so should the lions share of praise be bestowed upon her.
 The scenery was unusually good and the Hyperion orchestra played with a zest that earned them deserved ap- plause

Grnnh Onera Honse,

The possibilities of the cornet as an instrument of imitation are as many as those of the big church organ when the instrument is in the hands of mas ters. The comets build is nothing more or less than series of graduated tubes, the tone being produced by meants of air currents being forced into the tubes by means of mouthpiece played to the lips of the player. The tone heard from the cornet is always about the same, varying only with the ability of the performer.
 Yet Montague and West, now playing at the Grand, perform on the instru- ment with rare purity of tone, and, in addition, initiate the oboe, Irish pipes and Various other instruments to per- lection. The coach horn, too assumes different position in the musical fam fly in the hands of these two. Yester- day MT. West introduced new feature, an invention of his own, which trans forms the xylophone from harsh, bell-like instrument of torture to a soft, sweet-voiced chime. Under the steel bars of the instrument are placed metal tubes graduated in appearance, not unlike the front of pipe organ. The tone is exquisite.
 Receiving a greet deal of merited at tention in vaudeville, and who has been a favorite at the Grand all the week, is Ed Rogers, a good comedian and clever dancer In the Irish line. He is no stranger to New Haven, having made many friends last season when, in company with Ryan in the duo Rog- CTS and Ryan, he introduced "A Gay New Yorker" which had large run here. He is the author of many of the popular songs, notably "A Wench Turned White," played and sung in all the travelling combinations. This week he introduces his latest song, I'm Moving Cause Spaniard Lives Up stairs" MT. Rogers has peculiar fac- ulty of entertaining, and after working his audience to high state of enthu- siasm he leaves them wanting more.
 It has become the proper thing for ladies to make up vaudeville parties for the afternoo1 performance, and the numbers of ladies who make up the greatest portion of the audience after moons enjoy every minute of the play. The admission for ladies and children at matinees is 10 cents to all parts of the house.

POLICE WANT TO PARADE.
Commission VIII Approve a Turn
Out In New Uniforms.


The Police Commissioners favor pa
rade and inspection by the department,
and It is likely the matter will come up
at the next meeting All of the commits
sioners voice the views of the men, who
are anxious to have demonstration, feel
ing ii could be made one of the most at
tractive and complete yet.
Chairman Karow was seen yesterday in
regard to a parade by the force, and spoke
enthusiastically on the subject. He has
no objections to an inspection, and said If
the other commissioners were willing to
have parade, he would heartily Join
them in whateyer course they desired 70
pursue. He feels the department has been
raised to high state of efficiency, and
that the demonstration the men will be
able to make will be a credit to the city.
Il have no objections to a parade, but
think it should be postponed until the
winter uniforms arrive" said Commission
er Gleason. 'Not having talked with the
other commissioners about their notions
in regard to parade ! am not prepared
to say what course I will pursue if the
matter is brought up but I cannot see
that there would be any objection to
one"
Commissioner Vetsburg is in favor of a
parade. He said he thought Chairman Ka-
row should call meeting of the commits
sioners, if there was any idea of arrang-
ing for a demonstration, and see what
the commissioners thought of 1t. He said
he was heartily in favor of giving the
boys a chance 10 show what they can do
and when the matter is brought up, he
will favor a parade
The recognized enterprise Of the depart
ment will doubtless be sustained in this
matter. as the force will be inspired with
an ambition to keep up with the other
city departments. 1t is not likely there
will be any parade, however. in case il
should he decided upon until the winter
uniforms are received.

Knabe Pianos.

Won Bulow, who is considered the great
est critic of the age, says: THE sound and
touch of the Knabe pianos are more sym
pathetic to my ears and head than the
sound and touch Of any other piano in the
United States" He declares that they are
absolutely the best pianos in America
Tschaikovsky, the great pianist, says he
is delighted with the beautiful Knabe
grand he had for his private use on his
tour through the United States. He says
the Knabe combines with great volume of
tone, rare sympathetic and noble tone,
color and perfect action. On his next visit
to America he viii be sure TO use the
Knabe Grand on each and every occa-
SION.
clares that the Knabe piano is sthe finest
instrument in America, and he will be
sure to use it on his next trip; he says he
gave his Endorsement with pleasure, vol
unfairly and unsolicited
We take pleasure in calling your atten-
ton to these testimonials of the Knabe
piano In some of the best houses of this
city these Instruments will be found and
parties who are posted and are judges
will be sure to use the Knabe piano
The agency for these fine instruments is
placed with US. Lippman Brothers, L.pp-

and any one can learn to play without a
teacher-in a few days-ad.

NATURE AVERAGES 1T ALL UP.

Accumulated excess of temperature
since Jan l. 429 degrees"
This is a statement that appears in the
report of the weather bureau published in
the Morning News to-day Doubtless there
are many who do not appreciate exactly
what this signifies
An excess or deficiency of temperature
shows the variation of heat from an es.
taDllshed normal This normal IS the av-
erage of the temperature readings for each
day in twenty-three years, long enough
period, IL would SEEM 10 get an average
that would be close to absolute accuracy.
For every day in the year the weather OBJ
server has normal temperature, based on
the heat for every hour of that same day
during twenty-three years. Taking the
average temperature for a day, he COM
pares it with this established normal and
ascertain If the day shows an excess or
deficiency of heat. A record Of the result
is kept, and the aggregates of these re-
suits from Jan. l of this year to to-day
shows an excess of APO degrees.
Nature has way, it is said, of averag-
ing up heat and rain, as well as other fea-
lures of the weather. Take a long range
OF years, and it is apt to be found that
the total amount of heat expended in them
is Just about the same as the heat for any
other similar period. An excess of heat in
one year is making up for a deficiency in
another year. and vice versa. Such is the
principle, broadly expressed.
If the last five years are taken, il Is
found from the figures at the Savannah
office of the weather bureau that the aver
aging up process of nature worked out to
almost exactness. A little table will tell
the story Of the temperature for the years.

ROOMS IN THE PUBLIC BUILDING.
Where Some of the various Govern
ment Officials VIII BE Located.

Government officials. who will occupy
Offices in the new public building upon its
completion, have been figuring already
upon what space will be allotted to them,
although it is hardly probable that the
building will be ready for occupancy until
the middle of next summer, or shortly be-
fore that time.
Most of the space in the building has al
ready been assigned by the treasury de-
partment officials. The weather depart
nent made the first application for space
III the new building. This was done some
time ago, and the bureau has been well
looked out for. The weather bureau will
have the fifth story of the building in the
tower, while its Instruments will be ioca-
TED partly on the roof and partly within
the building. 1t viii also have two rooms
on the second story at the President and
whitaker street corner. All of the other
rooms on the north side of the corridor in
the second story, il is understood, have
been assigned to the engineer corps, and
Will be occupied by Capt. c. E. Gillette
and his force of clerks
On the south side of the corridor in the
second story is the United States Circuit
Court room, and the offices connected with
lt, including jury rooms. The District
Court is large room in the third stoIy
al the Bull street end of the building. The
jury rooms and offices of this court are
also in the third story.
The postoffice, of course, win occupy the
entire lower floor, and perhaps some other
space, If IL is needed 1t is understood
that there are one or two rooms in the
building which are not assigned, but the
chances are they will all be taken by the
llme the building is ready for occupancy.
1t is not improbable that Postmaster
Joseph #. Doyle will be the custodian Of
the building. In answer to a recent in
quiry on that point, a reply was received
from Washington stating in effect that
the principal officer located in the build
ing permanently would be its custodian.
This officer will, OF course, be the post
master
The work of plastering the building has
Just been begun by the contractors. 1t
was started in the fourth story. There IS
great deal of ornamental work to be
done in this connection, and it is believed
IL will require considera bic time to COM
plete 1t. There is also much fine wood
carving to be put into the building, and
while It has been stated that it would
probably be finished by February, the
chances are that it will be somewhere
nearer June /.

for the treasury department, was here
recently to look after the question of the
