THE MacCARToNs AGAIN.
Family Which Beat New Haven Mer-
 chants Again Heard from.

chants Again Heard from. The MacCarton family, who attained considerable notoriety in this city some time ago by contracting large bills with local merchants and who were arrested here on the charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses, are again in sim liar difficulty in New York.
 Dr. M. D. Hubbell, of No. 245 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, New York, says that two weeks ago. a prepossessing woman, with a smooth tongue, called upon him and engaged apartments. She brought with her six children, the eldest of whom was a daughter about twenty-two years old. She said her name was "Bidlin,' and her husband, who was abroad, would return in several weeks. Dr. Hubbell says they obtained his apartments, promising to pay the rent December 1. Then, he continues, they went abroad in the neighborhood, buying merchan- disc, always riding in cabs, until the place looked like a storage warehouse. Some time between dark and dawn, everybody says, the "Bidlins" quietly took their departure, and the police have not been able to find them.
 In April last the MacCarton family, mother, four daughters and a son, were found in Philadelphia after successfully operating in various cities In New York the Holland house and other ho- tels were victimized. Lily, the eldest daughter, is about twenty-two years old. They eluded arrest and were last heard of in Providence.

There are several pallets, "The Birth of Venus," 'The Polar Star and "The Burning Volcano" among them, while the scen- cry is sumptuous and the mechanical effects fine. Besides the little actors there is good-sized chorus of pretty girls, who have many changes of cos- tunes and have stirring numbers to sing, and in every scene they perform pallets, always picturesque and imagi- native in the extreme. The stage set 7 tings are beautiful and the several transformation scenes delightful. The Lilliputians include Major James D. Doyle, Louis Merkle, Howard Knowles, James F.. Rosen, Joseph Algere, George Liable, Casper Fl. Weis, c. o. Mack. John Church, Annie Liable, Helen Lind ner Mile. Maria Mozzi, premier dan seuse, and all the old favorites. There will be the regular matinee on Satur- day.

ENTERTAINAf ENTs.
Hyperion Theater MRS. DANES DEFENSE" TO.
 NIGHT

NIGHT.
 Charles Frohman's Empire theater company will be at the Hyperion to- nlght, presenting Henry Arthur Jones' great play, Mrs. Danes Defense" The announcement will prove most welcome
 to theater-goers, for this company is
 one or the great stock organizations in
 the country. It is headed by two &C.,
 tors we'll known to and popular with
 New Haven audiences, Charles Rich
 man and Miss Margaret Anglin. The
 1ormers last appearance here was as
 leading man of the late Augustin Da-
 " stock company. He was with MT.
 Days company four years. The pres ent IS his first season as leading man
 with MT. Frohman's favorite organiza-
 ton. Miss Margaret Anglin scarcely needs any introduction to local theater- goers. During the past few years her appearance in various plays have thor oughly established her in the good graces of heater-goers, and she un- doubtedly enjoys here degree of es-
 teem and popularity possessed by few actresses. Her return now is all the iiiNiS NSiSoiiC II IOlll lile IdCl llldl III lIlG name role of the play she has scored the greatest success of her career. Oth- CTS in the company are Miss Margaret Dale, who won much favor here during her engagement with the Henry Miller company Miss Ethel Hornick Mrs. Charles w. Brooks, Miss Lillian Thur gate, w, H. Crompton E. Y. Backus, Stanley Dark, George Osborne, jr., Frank Brownless and George Sylvester. Seats now on sale. Prices $150, $1 and 75 cents.
 Thomas Moores music and poetry have made millions his debtors. The speeches and wisdom of the greatest orators lie dead in their books. Not so with Moore's poetry and music. His political precepts couched in most mel odious and seductive language and in- toned from feeling hearts, will set thou sands who hear them in blaze of pa triotism. Who on the stage to-day can give them the poetic interpretation as well as Andrew Mack, the favorite singing comedian, who will present the play Tom Moore" at the Hyperion next Friday night? It will make the old folk reminiscent to hear his most popular numbers chanted by this sweet voiced Irish player. Seats now on sale Prices $1, 75 cents, 30 cents, 8 cents and 25 cents.

ALCOHOL NOT A FOOD.
Dr. Dorman Vigorously Opposes Prof.
 Atwater's Findings.


 Atwater's Findings.
 Dr. c. A. Dorman of New Haven was
 the speaker at the New Hartford Opera
 House Sunday afternoon, in the course of the lectures under the aus pices of the Y M. c. A. His topic was
 "A Monstrous Evil" and he selected alcohol as the evil he would attack, and gave an entertaining address il- lustrated by colored plates and Q few simple chemical experiments. He pre- missed that alcohol was always the product of decay, whether made from fruit or grain, and that the grain and fruit from which it was abstracted was first murdered by mankind in order to produce it. It had been well said of all cohol that 1t was born in death, chris tened in corruption and went forth upon it's errand accursed of God. It was one of the mistakes of the medical pro- fession of the nineteenth century that it had prescribed alcohol as a stimulant and ss an active remedy in some forms of disease. By illustra ton he showed that the effect of the fluid upon all liv- ing tissues was detrimental It para lyAtQ lHe IlcINCe, ulotSiuCu CllC OiooL vessels and made things generally un- pleasant for the person who was ad- dcted to it's use.
 Dr. Dorman was emphatic in his dis agreement with Professor Atwater, as to the result of his experiments with the man in box. The professor had found that alcohol was a food, as starch, sugar and fat are foods, fur nishing heat to the body. There were many other authorities, equally scien- tific, that wholly disagreed with the professor and it was most unfortunate that such a dictum had gone forth un- der the guise of scientific statement. It had been used by the brewers and distillers to advertise their business. and in Chicago two-ounces bottles of whisl1ey were displayed in saloon win dows with the label "One Atwater Straight" Dr. Dorman then proceeded by ilustration to show the effect of al- cohol on digestion, its effect upon har- dening the brain tissue at first, and softening it after the hard spots brok- en down by the inflammation which would surely follow. He combated the idea that alcohol provided heat for the body, except momentarlly, and said that the ultimate effect was to make the body much colder Its effect upon the brain, the stomach and the liver was shown by plates which represented those organs with what the speaker called "whiskey blush" Disputing the starch, sugar and fat theory, he said that those articles of food did not drive men to lunatic asylums or to crime, as alcohol did. He explained that John L. Sullivan lost his fight with Corbett because of the booze" as the pugilist himself admitted, and said that whiskey had deadened the sensa- ton of the nerves to such an extent that when John L. was hurt by the blows he did not know 1t until too late to return to defense. The communica- ton from the nerves to the brain and back again was deadened and the man could not do his best work. pr. Dor man had many incidents to give point ! to his illustrations and his address was well received by the largest audience hat any of these Sunday lectures has i ogether.-Hartford Courant. ,

NEW STRENGTH AND LIFE IN
One Real Remedy. Ablest of AL
Physicians Freely Give Advice.

It is truer today than ever before
that one man is no better than another
unless he does more than another.
When, recently, in the most learne d
medical review in London, the organ
of the great English college of physi-
clans and surgeons, it was proved by
exhaustive statistics that, despite the
drain upon nerves and blood incident
to the modern, strenuous Iife-despite
the fact that diseases of the nervou s
system appear earlier and oftener
among working people than formerly,
nevertheless, within the past five or
six years the average life of Americans
was materially longer than it was de-
cade ago-the editors of the review
pronounced it as their firm opinion
that this undoubtedly resulted in no
small degree from the discovery a few
years ago by an eminent American
physician of a positive cure for diseas-
es of the nervous system, which had
promptly been put within the reach of
the public in that country, and was be-

O1e of the physicians, member
then and now OF the royal staff, in for
warding a copy of the article to the
proprietors of Paine's celery com
pound, enclosed long and somewh at
technical letter, in which he said;
eve are thoroughly convinced that
no remedy yet known affords so GER
tain relief from that class of disorders
which modern conditions of working
aud living now breed, as your Paine s
celery compound"
Certainly one remedy is no better
than another unless it accomplishes
more than another,
And Paine's celery compound is pre-
eminently the best remedy known to
medicine for the cure of ailments that
result from impaired nerves and con-
sequent impure blood. The rheuma-
tIsm, neuralgia, sleeplessness, indi-
gestion, lack of strength that a bottle
of Paine's celery compound so rapidly
dispels are but temporary conditions
