Notwithstanding the fact that all the theaters are open the public still look for amusement at the shore, as was evinced yesterday afternoon when the large and spacious enclosure was pack ed to such an extent that it necessitat- ed the help of several employees of the Winchester avenue railroad to place more seats in and around the enclosure to accommodate the large crowds an- xious to see Germans Alabama Trou- badours, who present one of the finest and strongest bills of the season. They shown the southern darkey from the plantation up to the present day and while doing so introduce several pleas ing and catchy melodies, such as are heard on the plantations, and the cake walk proved one of the best features, for the dusky belles and beaux strive hard to win the prize. Two perform ances daily will be given during the week and no one should miss seeing this great aggregation of colored ar lists.

NEW FUTURE AMERICANS.
THE

The question of what new territory and what increase of responsibilities the close of the war may bring is one that concerns the women of the coun- try quite as much as the men, for whatever new lands we undertake to
 govern, some Americans will have to live in, and not only American men, but American woman. We have an- neXed Hawaii, and of course our army and navy will have to be represented there, and the wives of officers will make their homes there for longer or shorter terms, as they do now in the army posts of the West. So 1t will be in Puerto Rico, so for time at least in Cuba, and so In the Philippines, unless we manage to escape the charge of those uncomfortable islands. There are new experiences in sight for many American women-new opportunities, new duties, and new trials and separa- tions Perhaps there is in store for American mothers that desolating ex- perience which English woman in In dia have so long had to endure - the parting from young children sent home from tropical countries to grow up and be educated at home.-Harper's Bazaar.

LIGHTHOUSE POINT.

That impressive pomp and circum- stance of war-the impregnable battery defense of New Haven at the Point bids fair to become reminiscent eX- ample of the wild wasteful extrava- gance of war since the czar of all the Russias has seen fit to twine the olive branch of peace in his regal crown. This notice of the cZar is too sudden, however, for the Point to abandon that auxiliary of battle campaigns, the bal loon. as Professor La Ronx, the great American aeronaut, had already com pleted his preparations to make an as- tension daily at the Point at 4;45 p. m. till further notice. To-day his pet goose, Sagasta, makes the ascension with him. The goose will hang very high at the Point, therefore, this after noon. making his descent alone safely. Professor La Ronx offers a prize of S1 to the person who catches and returns the goose to him ?,

State League.

Danbury, Aug. 29-Bridgeport and Danbury played two games this after
 noon. The first game lasted eleven in- nings and was finally won by the t'Hat- ond game resulted in a row, in which stones and fists played a prominent part President Whitlock had given Umpire McGarr permission to call the second game at 5:45 so the Bridgeport team could catch train. At the end of the seventh inning the score stood 6 to 5 in favor of the visitors. In the eighth inning Bridgeport went to the bat first and played their half of the inning without scoring. Danbury then went in for their half, but with one man out the umpire called the game, as it was 5:45. This gave the game to Bridgeport and was the signal for the trouble to begin. There were about l., 900 people in the grand stand and near ly the whole crowd made rush onto the field and surrounded Umpire Me
 Carr and the visiting players. In the
 mix-up that followed McGarr was
 struck several times. Several police
 officers rescued him and escorted him to the dressing room, but the crowd was
 not contented and several hundred peo-
 pie waited for McGarr and the Bridge
 port players to again make their ap-
 pearance. When they did appear they
 hprricdly boarded car for Bethel amid
 a shower of stones, apples and nearly
 everything the crowd could lay hold of.
 The next time the Bridgeports play
 here they probably will be accompanied
 by detail from the Rough Riders. The
 score:
 Bridgeport ... ...O 0 i o 0 0 0 0 O-1

DvyurIs Ruu I'oison.

Henry NJ. Stanley, in describing his
journey though the forests of Africa,
says that the most formidable foes he
encountered those that caused the
greatest loss of life to his caravan and
came nearest to defeating his expedi-
tion, were the Wambutti dwarfs.
These diminutive men had only bows
and arrows for weapons, SO small that
they looked like children's playthings,
but upon tho tip Of each tiny arrow was
drop Of poison which would kill an
elephant or man az surely and quickly
as rife. Their defense was by means
of poison and traps.
They would steal through the dense
forest, and waiting In ambush let fly
their arrows before they could be dis.
covered. They dug bitches and carefully
covered them over with sticks and
leaves. They fixed spikes In tho ground
and tipped them with poison. Into these
bitches and ON these spikes man and
beast would fall or step to their death.
One 81 the strangest things about IL was
that their poison WAS mixed with honey.

In excellent homes.
3. He has taken thirteen children
from Beloit this year and placed them
elsewhere, and more than twenty alto
gether from this city.
4. About forty destitute children
have been taken from this county and
cared for by the society since it began
work.
8. MIR, Merrill has more than forty
homes ahead in this district that have
applied for children and are waiting
