POlt's TheatCr.

Moung Toon and Moung Cheb are all the wonder it was said they are. Two such mortals never before appeared here, and that is a big novelty. One marvels as they manage the slippery spheres how in one short life time such expertness could be attained, for it is not by ordinary methods that they juggle, but with the feet, the elbow joints, the hollows in shoulders or neck, the muscles of the limbs, all concen- trate for the moment as the adhesive or protective force upon the ball and it Is sent into the most eccentric and surprising evolutions. The bill other- wise is exceedingly strong. James Barrows assisted by John Lancaster and company play a comedy called Tactics" The Four Weston sisters wake them up with their lively act, and Sisson and Wallace has delight full singing and comedy sketch. Joe Newman, with songs that he wrote himself, displays original humor and sings we'll. Mr. and Mrs. Gene Hughes have a bright comedy sketch in "A Matrimonial Substitute,' besides these there are Gertie Gilson with songs Rice and Barton, "The Chinaman and the Rube," in a bar act, and Williams and Melbourn.

The new west wing is now nearly com. | pleted, and contains 40 bedrooms, bath rooms for the use of women not mem- bers of the Home, 8 lunch-room where girls may bring their own lunch if so desired, and be served with hot tea, coffee or soup; class-rooms, gymnasium and lecture hall.
 The funds for this large additional building were most generously given by Mrs. Lucy H. Boardman. In the east wing and main building much has been done in the way of renovation and improvement; particularly noticea ble is the library and reading room in its new dress; 20 volumes were added here during the year.
 In the way of valuable furniture, pie lures. etc, are to be found instances of the remembrance of friends, too nu- merous to mention.
 With our recently enlarged accomo- dations both in house and class room, it will be possible to offer unusual oppor- tunities to ambitious and progressive young women.
 Hearty thanks are extended to the press for courtesy in publishing an- nouncements, and to all who have in any way aided the work.

CHoRE BOY CoNFEssEs.
Young Cross Tells How He Murdered
 Aged Mrs King.

Stamford, Nov. 13.-The inquest into the murder of Mrs. Sarah c. King took place this afternoon. Just before the opening of the proceedings it was learned that Charles Cross, the seven- teen year-old chore boy, who is under arrest on suspicion, has made confess sion Detective Rogers of a private agency has had several interviews with the young man.
 At first the prisoner adhered closely to the story told by him originally, in which he denied his guilt Finally, however, he was induced to confess and he made a statement to the detec- tive, the outline of which is to the ef- feet that on the night in question he waited until Mrs. King had retired. He then entered her room and undertook to overpower her. She resisted fiercely, whereupon he hurled her to the floor and struck her head against the floor several times. She became uncon- scious and he lifted her body to the bed, immediately leaving the house to notify neighbors that the woman had been murdered.
 States Attorney Fessenden has ad- mitted that Cross had made confess sion.

 WHAT PRESIDEN CLARK SAYS. ExP1esident Clark when interviewed said among other things:
 T have nothing special to recommend outside of the things referred to in the annual reports. But Improvements there must be every little while. Our earnings are not entirely eaten up by dividends. We put them into improve ments for the safety and convenience of the public, and I think that this policy will be continued.
 q do not think that my successor, Judge Hall, will make any radical changes in the policy of the road. None are foreshadowed. Judge Hall Is, first of all, man of integrity. He is also man of intellect and judgment. Relative to my own plans for the flu ture, I will simply say that am a di- rector of the road and intend to remain so for the present. Some of the reports of the meeting were absolutely without foundation. One story represented the New Haven road about to give up It's drawing room and sleeping car service. That is untrue. The New Haven road plans to buy some new cars of the Pullman company as manufacturers, but the present system of sleeping car service will be continued.
 'The stories of any diesension are false. Only one person was voted for Judge Hall. He was not scratched by a single vote. The rulnor that Pres- dent Baldwin of the Long Island rail- road has been candidate for the pres idency of the New Haven road Is only newspaper conjecture. MT. Baldwin has never been candidate. He is use- fully and fully employed on the Long Island The story of an interview be- tween MT. Baldwin, MT. Galloway and the directors was tissue of falsehoods. Neither was at any meeting of the New Haven directors"
