 Harry l.. Morris Comedy company was in town Saturday evening. They presented farce comedy entitled "A New England Home" The audience was we'll paid for their attending, even if there was only seven dollar house. It is to be regretted that when a good show appears in town it is never pa- tronized.

 The National Electrical company has the contract for constructing seven hundred clocks. They are called the gas clocks, and are to be used in light ing and eXtinguishing the gas at the will of the owner. Only a few have been made thus far. One of the prin- cipal features of the clock is that it acts in harmony with the days of the year II this way: As the days grow longer the gas is lighted and extin- guished in accordance with the length and shortness of the days.

A TAXPAYERS PROTEST.

An old taxpayer says: T object, and so do many others who own horses and sleighs, to the way the snow was clear ed from Chapel and Church and State streets in the center yesterday. I am a friend to the powers that be- but I wish to object for three reasons: First ly, half the snow that fell ought to have been where it was in order that people who have sleighs may not be shut out from using the business streets. By taking away practically all the snow the streets are left too bare of snow to permit people having sleighs to use these streets with any comfort.
 Secondly, by taking only half the snow away saving in expense to the city of at least 40 per cent. would have been made-and the city certainly needs money.
 Thirdly, the public were hindered from using the streets longer by half than was necessary yesterday. If the removal of the snow had taken only half as long time as it did the public would have been the gainer just that much.
 'We, the objectors, claim that there is no need of laying the central busi- ness thoroughfares bare of snow and thus prohibiting sleighing on those streets"

Polls Wonderland Theater.

Blizzard week in town, but crowds keep coming to the Wonderland. The only thing cold in the house last night was the chunks of ice that Arthur Dunn uses in "The Actress and the Bell Boy" The little fellow who made such a hit in Excelsior, Jr.," is just as big an attraction in vaudeville. The sketch is good one, and with his sister Jen- nie, who has pretty soprano voice, the pair give a delightful period for the feature of the show. Two genuine examples of Irish character, jovial, witty and ninble, with new jokes in new sketch, are the Donovans, drawing big as ever and making one of the best hits in the show. Others on the bill are the Baggasens, T. Nelson Downs, Sherman, the anatomical wonder, Le- Claire and Hayes, Snyder and Buckley, and Wilson and Mcintyre. This morn ing at 10 o'clock free private view to doctors and students who desire to meet Sherman Prices 10 and 20 cents; ladies in the afternoon, ten cents,

 TESS OF THE DURBERvILLES.
 Minnie Maddern Fiske's coming visit to this city is another indication that this city is now right in the theatrical swim. The management has made no more acceptable announcement than the one that this brilliant actress will present her great impersonation of Tess of the D'Urbervilles on Febru- ary 8. New York critics have show cred their praises with the most lavish extravaganza on both the play and player, and it is long time since any theatrical event has caused so much interest.

FREE TO MILLIONS. A Valuable Little Book Sent Free For
 The Asking.

Medical books are not always inter- esting reading, especially to people en- toying good health, but as matter of fact scarcely one person in ten is per- fectly healthy, and even with such, sooner or later, sickness must come. It is also we'll established truth that nine-tenths of all diseases originate with a breaking down of the digestion, a weak stomach weakens and impover- ishes the system, making it easy for disease to gain a foothold.
 Nobody need fear consumption, kid ney disease, liver trouble or a weak heart and nervous system as long as the digestion is good and the stomach able to assimilate plenty of wholesome food
 Stomach weakness shows itself in a
 score of ways and this little book de- scribes the symptoms and causes and points the way to cure so simple that any one can understand and apply.
 Thousands have some form of stom- ach trouble and do not know it. They ascribe the headaches, the languor, nervousness, insomnia, palpitation,
 constipation and similar symptoms to some other cause than the true One.
 Get your digestion on the right track
 and the heart trouble, lung trouble, liv-
 CT disease or nervous debility will rap idly disappear.
 This little book treats entirely on the
 cause and removal of indigestion and | it's accompanying annoyances. | It describes the symptoms of Acid | Dyspepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia, Slow 1 Dyspepsia, Amylaceous Dyspepsia, Ca
 tarrh of Stomach and all affections of
 the digestive organs in plain language
 easily understood and the cause remov- | ed
 | It gives valuable suggestions as to diet, and contains a table giving length
 of time required to digest various arti-
 cles of food, something every person
 with weak digestion should know. No price is asked, but simply send
 your name and address plainly written
 on postal card to the F. A. Stuart Co.

 book on Stomach Diseases, and it will

FORBIDDEN ENTRY.

Washington, Feb. 1.-All Porto Rico tobacco has been forbidden entry into Cuba according to United States Con- sul Hanna at San Juan in Porto Rico.

As a result of this order, which the consul says was to take effect Jan uary 15 last, the price of Porto Rico tobacco has greatly declined.

MuRTY's ADVICE TO SHREVEPORT


 The Bridgeport Standard says: Mur- ty Savage, the old time thief, who is in jail at the present time awaiting trial for the theft of horse and wagon, had a conference with Sheriff Stagg of Stratford Saturday that was interest ing. Murty has devoted much of his attention to Stratford during the past few years and told the sheriff that the town authorities ought to support elec- tric lights. He said that if the lights were established the percentage of thefts would be greatly lessened. He especially recommended a light at the corner of Main and Church streets and advised that wire be run from the center of the town to the Washington bridge that the draw tender could be apprised of any thefts and stop the thief at the bridge. The only reason why Murty suggests an improvement in Stratford is that he is liable to spend the rest of his days in prison under the habitual criminal act.

EXPENSES OF THE PROM
WERE CONSIDERABLY LESS THIS YEAR THAN IN FORMER YEARS.

Lit. Medal Awarded to Isham Henderson of This City-Statistics of Members of the University Squad-Basketball Team Played in Wallingford Last Night--Othe Interesting Campus News.
 The expenses of the junior prom were considerably less this year than in for mer years. This was due largely to the skilful management of the com mittee, who by lessening the expense succeeded in equalling if not surpass- ing any junior prom that had preceded it. However, the surplus this year fell considerably lower than formerly, be- ing about $500, as against $1,SOO in 1897. The cause of this was the fact that there was a marked decrease in sub- scriptions, which source of revenue has aided the committee greatly in former years. The decrease this year over former years was several hundred dollars.
 There was one improvement-that of using tickets for the carriages, which has proved very successful.
 The boxes this year brought a slight ly higher prices than in former years. A comparison of the box prices Lhis year and last is given below:
