The Theatre.

believe in the theatre. It affords relaxation aud instruction. It broadens our imagination and our views of life. It is a great rest, after hard day s work, to forget oneself and ones worries in sympathy with those of our mimic friends. Often, too we glean some ex- cellent advice, and we invariably go home the happier for the change. To witness good play, we'll acted, always serves me as tonic. Personally, do not like farce comedy It does not rest me and very often strikes me as any thing but funny. But I delight in leg itimate comedy. Buffoonery can orly appeal, it seems to me. to those who never think. A good play is as condu- cive to health, and happiness as visit to the seashore on hot summers day.

c. N. E. Extension.
The Hartford Times says ::

The Hartford Times says:
 The tracks of the Tariffville extension of the Central New England railroad were laid on Saturday across the dis puted land known in East Granby as ''the Consolidated Railroad farm"
 The contractors, Kelley & Ryan. ob- talned from the tenant of the farm per- mission to transport material across by team. During his absence, on Satur. day, the cross ties and rails were hur- riedly laid and train load of material was moved over the tracks by ninety ton engine. The entire work was com pleted in two hours and seventeen min- utes.
 The tracks were not laid on the line of the survey, as such action would con- hict with the courts, but were laid to the westward of the line.
 During the entire day, Sunday, trains were busily engaged transporting rails and ties across the track. and on Sun- day night heavy freight train was left standing on the newly y-laid track.
 Local opinion is that an order will be applied for and obtained from the court. ord, ring that the track be removed from the disputed land.

New Mining Operations.

Editor of Neaos:
 As the people in your section are largely interested in mining and iron business generally, I thought that you might be interested in the mining oper- ations at Long Hill in the town of Trumbull by the American Tungsten Mining and Milling Company of New York. A neN company has been form ed, and anew name adopted as the old company of two years ago failed; it was called the Race Mineral Company.
 The new company are getting ready for work in tunnelling the mountain which is 385 feet above mean high tide at the point of greatest elevation. They have two boilers and an air com pressor now ready for use. as we'll as some drills. Compressed air will be used. The object in view in tunnelling is tungsten. There is in the tract about 60 acres and in that tract is very large amount of quartz. field. spar and hydraulic lime rock; the writer never saw any better.
 Engineer Hull of Bridgeport has been there some little time in making surveys and maps of the property, To-
 ating the mines, buildings, etc, mak- ine complete map of the whole prop erty, railroad and spur tracks, and il looks now as though some work will be done. Tunnelling will begin some time this week. There is very large quantity of quartz and feldspar on the property. and will be put in condition for market. F. O. Beach of Strsttord and one of the editors of the Scientific American-a very able man is the treasurer of the company.

You will wrong him and yourself

you TO do so is dearly purchased at
a sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly

About 100 years ago there was a
day Of remarkable gloom and dark
noss, still known as the Dark day,
a day when the light Of the sun
was slowly extinguished, as if by
an eclipse. The legislature of Con.
necticut was in session, and as the
members saw the unexpected and
unacgountable darkness coming on
they shared in the general awe and
terror II was supposed by many,
that the last day, the day Of iudg.

an old Puritan legislator, Dayen.

the last day had come he desired to
be found at his place doing his
duty, and therefore moved that
candles be brought in so that the
house could proceed with its duty.

WILL DERDEN IN CUBA.
The Voyage and Landing of
the First Texas.
Havana, Cuba, Jan. 9th, 1899.
To the Bryan Eagle,

Bryan, Texas.
Dear Sirs:-We left Savannah,
Ga, last Friday two weeks ago ar
irving in Havana the following
Monday evening. We had a very
pleasant voyage with the exception
of one day we bad a very rough
sea and most Of the boys decided 70
remain in their hammocks instead
Of going up on deck. We sighted
Miami, Fla, and Key West and
then we did not see any more land
until we came in sight Of Cuban
soil. The first thing that met the
boys ewes was old MORO. We
passed in about 100 yards Of IT,
Passing on into the harbor we came
upon the remains Of the Battleship
Maine. Il was then about 3 O'Clock
in the evening We anchored and
remained on board the transport
until Tuesday. We then unloaded
and had an eight mile march to
camp which is situated on a very
high hill overlooking the sea and
surrounded by high hills on Oh
sides.
Since our arrival here ii has
been my pleasure to try and zee
as much Of the country and small
or towns around Havana, which in
many respects resemble the towns
Of Mexico, as possible.
On every side are 10 be seen the
ruins Of the late war and on every
hill top are the old Spanish fortif-
cations which impIesses re, tie
more see oft, Of the terrible
massacre which might have result.
ed from the taking Of the city by
the American forces.
As | view the surrounding coun.
try with its natural advantages and
IT, limitless resources, | feel tina.
America has at its very door a gar.
den Of Eden. Al that is lacking
in this is American skill and cap.
ital. firmly believe there is no
richer country on earth, nor a more
beautiful land anywhere Florida,
so called the land o: flowers, can in
no way compare with it.

portunity Of seeing much Of the
city as we have not been allowed
to visit the il and will not be for
some time yet. All that ! have
seen was while passing through on
our marches TO and from the city.
Most Of the inhabitants are ne.
groes aud it seems so strange to us
that they speak nothing but the
Spanish language. OF course they
are all Of the lower class; the high.
er class are of light complexion
and some few speak the English
language.
The Cubans seem TO think that
the Americans are the the greatest
people on earth and ii seems that
they cannot do too much for u.
They certainly must have suffered
while the war was going on for ey.
en- now some Of them follow the
garbage wagon from camp and pick
up scraps that are being hauled
away from the regiment, while
some Of them stay around our mess
sheds and We give them scraps from
our plates which they all seem
thankful to get.
Well viii close and as soon as
we are allowed to visit the city and
| can find any more about the is.
land will write YOU again.
Very respectfully.

observations can be made than IL a
longer duration were available OBJ

of those mountains the duration will
range from one minute 30 second near
the mountains, to one minute II sec

will be much nearer the horizon. The

Since the days of Cleopatra the num-
Der of women to actually take part in
the conduct of the wars of their re-
spective countries has been few. At the
present day there is only one woman
who, with any justice, can be termed
"a general in petticoats.' and that is
Mrs. Joubert. wife of Gen. Joubert. com
mander in chief of the Transvaal forces
Mrs. Joubprt has accompanied her hus-
band in all the wars he has undertaken
Her CHEEKY face, almost hidden from
view under the folds of huge black
capple, has uecome such familiar
sight that the incongruity of one wom-
an walking in and out among an armed
force Of several thousand men seems
to be commonplace. From the days of
her earliest childhood Mrs Joubert has
been used to wars alarms. She can
load and fire off gun with almost as
much skill as "Slim Pet" (Anglice.
Clever Piet') himself. and on many oc-
casions has SHOWN the greatest cour-
age.
1t is not generally known that it va.
to Mrs. Joubert that the great defea,
of the English at Majuba was greatly
due. The general considered the posi-
ton unassailarDie, nut Mrs. Joubert,
her eyes afire with patriotism. urged
the attack. eventually conquering the
scruples of her hus band and the other
commandanrs. The result is known
