..THE PENITENT."

Very few productions of this season have gained the appreciation of the theater-going public that is said to have been given to W. E. Nankeyliles s presentation of .',The Penitent, which has just emerged from its successful run at the Park theater. Boston. and which will be seen at Polls this even ing. The play is taken from Hall Gaines famed book of that name, and while on an entirely different subject than "The Christian yet preserves all the hall marks of that gifted au- thor for originality of thought and brilliancy of conception. Stirring scenes follow each other so closely that. ere it's auditors have become inn pressed with the one. climaXes more startling follow Incidents that cause smiles to fit over faces of beholders are chased by pathOs that causes the tears to flow by the little scenes that reach deep down to that well-spring of emotion, the heart. Through it all, the Caine atmosphere is preserved. The play is mounted with a wealth of seen ic embellishments, we are told, that adds much to the charm of its depic- tation, as the locale of the story is said to have been followed as closely as the scene painters art will permit. The company enacting the various roles has in its makeup the names of them Edgar L. Davenport, David Han chett, AIyles Mccarthy. Leon Hall, Clair Shaw. Minnie Bowen, Bessie Marlowe and other players favorably known to the votaries of the play house. Prices are 9. 35, 50, 75 cents and S1.

"SHAUN RHUE." Joseph Murphy in Shaun Rhue'' Tuesday evening at Polls.
.THE BURGoMAsTER."

''The Burgomaster,' musical comedy management of the Dearborn theater, Chicago, and the direction of W. w. Tillotson, was presented at the Park City theater, Bridgeport, Tuesday even ing before a large and appreciative audience. It was the first time the play was produced in Bridgeport and judg- ing from the cordial reception it re- ceiyed a return engagement would be very acceptable.
 The book and lyrics were written by Frank Pixley and the music by Gus taye Luder The music throughout was delightfully."- entrancing. There were number of bright, catchy songs and choruses which were characterized by the absence of old and much-used tunes. Much of the success of the play depends upon the chorus, but they were equal to the occasion last even ing as was evidenced by the repeated encores.
 The play reyolves about one Peter Stuyvesant, a burgomaster of New Amsterdam, who enjoyed nap of dOOuL %oO years dud 1Oullu 11IuScll hI the conclusion of his nap in the midst of gay New York in which place he is subsequently treated to the sights. His is an amusing, eccentric character and so is that of Doodle Von Kull, his sec retary, and combined they afford the audience many opportunities of enjoy ing a hearty laugh. The character of Doodle is especially attractive. Knox Wilson as Peter Stuyvesant was su- perb and his queer antics and amusing sayings, his dry humor and his ready third act he rendered musical selec- tions on different instruments and was encored about a half dozen times. R. J. Move as Doodle also made de- cided hit. The Misses Ruth White, Lillian Coleman and Josie Intropide enact the leading female roles in satisfactory manner. The first two are fine singers. A love song by Miss Coleman during the second act was one of the brightest songs of the even- ing. The chorus is composed of pretty, we'll formed girls, the costumes are neat and appropriate, the staging Is first-class, and as a whole the pro- duction is of such a nature that it should be accorded a fine reception at

HERE'S AQUEER CASE
Husband Declined to Be Divorced
 from Pretty Bride.
Romance Connected with n Matri- monin1 Advertisement Has Set All the Tongues of Old
 Copenhagen Wagging.

Copenhagen was somewhat startled awhile ago by an advertisemen that appeared in the personal columns of Politiken, the leading newspaper of the city It takesNa good deal to startle Copenhagen, but this adver- tisement succeeded in accomplis hing what many have regarded as an inn possibility. The advertisement read as follows:
 .sPro forma, in orderto be freed from unhappy relations, a young lady wishes to marry young or old physician, lawyer or officer. A divorce is desired immediately after the ceremony. The lady has fortune of 50,000 kroners. Communications may be addressed toN No. 9,690 at the office of this paper"
 After many weeks of anxious gossip ing and the grave discussion of over thousand conflicting rumors, the true story of the affair began to creep around and Copenhagen breathed free again and once more resumed its phlegmatic calm. The young woman had found man willing to marry her. He had married her. The marriage had effectually relieved her of unpleas-s ant relations because her husband had kicked them all out of the house.
 Like the hero of E. P. Roe's novel, ssHe Fell in Love with His Wife," and refused to be divorced, and the young woman accepted the situation and the young couple have settled down, and it is to be hoped, like the nice young people in the fairy tales, that they will live happily ever after.
 The young woman had been left an orphan at an early age. fortune of 5o,00O kroners ($14,0O0) had been left her by her father, to be given her on the day of her marriage. Her father did not wish the 50,OoO kroners, which in Copenhagen is considered quite snug little fortune, to be dissipated by some brawling young student or beer house lounger, whom his daughter, in

rifle. in Matrimonia1 Market

The money value of title in other than a matrimonial market is illus trated by the policy of an old estab- lished manufacturing business in this city which sells it's products all over Europe. The present manager, like his father, is very democratic, but for business reasons he continues the poli- cy esta ablished by his father. No agents are employed except men with titles. This is easily arranged in Germany and France and Russia, but it some- times causes inconvenience in England. A titled agent on the continent, no matter how poor he may be, can usual ly get hearing in a business house easier than man without title. No bogus titles are allowed, and the com pany's list of foreign agents reads like a court circulars--N. Y. Sun.

the absence of proper parental guid- ance, might select for husband, so he carefully stipulated in the will that her. fortune was onlyto be given to her on condition that she married a ''physi- clan, lawyer or officer of the army or navy"
 The young woman lived with her uncle, who had been appointed her guardian. She was an independent young woman, and longed for the time when she could come into her money and do as she pleased. Her brothers and guardian and all her other rela- tives had arranged themselves into a committee whose mission in life was to secure husband for the young woman, and they discharged lawyers, doctors and officers at her head with the greatest zeal and persistency.
 She wanted to be heart free and marry the man of her choice, and sEe didn't care whether he was lawyer, doctor, an officer or waiter in a summer garden, just so he was the man that her heart wanted.
 Finally she saw way out of the di- lemma. She would marry some man lawyer, doctor or officer-who would consent to a divorce immediately after. the ceremony. She would thus be full filling the terms of the will and could secure her fortune and could then fol- low the dictates of her heart. So she advertised, and among the am swers received selected that ofa young doctor who had been a year out of school and had had two cases, having been called once by aspinster lady to treat her favorite tabby forsindiges- tion and having assisted veterinary surgeon in setting the leg bone of a horse that had been hurt in a rum away.
 The young physician promptly Jumped at the opportunity of marry ing the young woman, and they were accordingly united. But after the cer- emony the doctor fatly refused to be divorced. The young woman's guard ian and brothers were living in her house, over which, of course, as long as she remained single she had no con- trol, as it did not belong to her until she had complied with the terms ofthe will.
 The doctor went over and turned the relatives into the street. He hung out his shingle in front of the house and bought fine carriage and team. which he, of course, charged to his wife. His notoriety brought him prac- tice. his aggressiveness won him the admiration and love of the young wom- an, and as he had fallen in love with her at first sight all thought of a di- vorce was aband oned, and there is now no happier home in Copenhagen.

Now Il Is the Boa

The furore for the boa is already
under full sail
Everywhere one sees boas. Shops
are full of them. Windows display
their fluffy beauty almost to the exclu-
sion of everything else, and they are
the only thing in the way of an outer
wrap many women are wearing these
delightful fall days.
One of the latest wrinkles is a
feather boa in two tones of the same
color The blending is very carefully
done, so that the effect obtained is in
deed strikingly attractive. mother cases
will pink and blue, for example, be
blended in the same boa, showing a
remarkably attractive effect. One seen
was in white. with blending of light
blue deep in at the heart Of the boa,
as it were.
One Of the latest novelties in this
line was seen in a Chestnut street es-
tablishment 1t was made with the
neck part of ostrich and on the end of
almost every spear of the feather was
ATTACHED a little piece OF crinkled silk
to stimulate a rose leaf. The effect
obtained was that of a garland Of rose
leaves encircling the boa, and against
a background of silk and feathers the
effect was strikingly beautiful as well
as odd in the extreme.
This blending Of various materials
in the manufacture of a boa OF
shoulder cape has lately become quite
q feature. and we see furs and feathers
p,aited liberty and feathers, fur and
plated liberty, and a vast array oi
other combinations which are striking
and odd as we'll as very attractive.
