SHnRE ACRES-

It is probably enough to announce the production of 'Shore Acres" on Thursday afternoon and evening at Polls to fill the theatre on both occa- sIons. There is no more popular play in American dramatic literature, and 1t is as popular now in it's ninth sea son as ever before. In many ways it would prove difficult to furnish the reason for the plays success. It is simple, every day affair, and the plot is free from complications. There is no villain and no wronged woman, and nothing that may be termed silly or ridiculous, and yet this simple pas tora1 comedy drama held the fashion able stage of Daly's theatre for q whole season, and throughout the whole country it has always gained the approval and applause of the very best and most intelligent class of the afre patrons. You can best judge why this is so after you have seen the play a second or third time, and then you will marvel at those dainty little touches of human nature that make their appeal direct to the heart. The sale of seats opens tomorrow.

weak-minded boy overheard and ap- peared as chief witness against the brutal seaman who, after being con- victed of murder, confessed that he had killed more than 30 boys in the same way, being paid for, the acts by their guardians. At the end of the trial Scoville once more returned to sea, but was shipwrecked and drifted ten days in an open boat with little to eat or drink. He was rescued, however, and taken to London, where Ee was sick for a long time at the Marine hospital.
 As soon as he was discharged from that institution he worked his way back to this country and obtained a place as chore boy for Cleveland (O.) doctor, atNthe same time attend ing school until he graduated Then he went south and worked his way through Howard college in Alabama. Later on he managed to obtain enough work to pay his tuition at the New England conservatory, where he studied elocution and oratory.. After finishing his course he took a posi- tion with Wilson Barrett's '.Sign of the Cross" company, going with that troop to England. While in London he obtained the position of assistant stage manager, and a short time later, during an engagement at Man chester, he fell in love with a young lady, whom he married
 The couple soon returned to this country, and Scoyille was appointed professor of elocution at. the Calves ton CTex.) high school. On the day of the great flood his wife was killed and the husband, stunned by grief and without ambition, went to New York, where, by chance. he heard a former opera singer, who was hold ing special missionary service, preach. After listening to several of her sermons he decided to take up missionary work himself, and accord ingly he is now studying with that object in view.
 His principal efforts will be direct ed toward stage folk or, those who have failed to establish themselves on the stage and are drifting into dis solute ways of life.

species of sa1t-water Fishes.

The number of species of fishes iv- ing habitually in the salt waters of the world can only be approximately esti- mated, probably about 10000. Those cl&ssed as ''shore fishes" live, as rule, close to the surface and near the land, and are well known to the saltwater angler in his outings as the weakfish, striped bass, kingfsh, etc. Of the shore fishes there are about 4oO0 spe- cies. The "pelagic fishes," or those which inhabit the upper waters of the
 seas, are relatively few in number. The "deep-sea fshes." which live in depths varying from 200 to 2,5oo fath- oms, cannot be even approximately es- t:mated, as new species are being con- stantly discovered Field and Farm.

An effort is now being made to pre- serve the birthplace of John Brown and properly mark the spot where, as Q barefoot boy, he learned the trade of his father, a tanner. During this session of the Connecticut general as- sembly it will be attempted to have a sufficient amount of money appro- priated to purchase the John Brown place and convert it into historical landmark.

HAS UNIQUE CAREER.
Story of Benjamin Scoville's Life
 Reads Like Fiction.
Yas Been Street Gamfn, Ships Cook, Tramp, Actor and Teacher, and Now Will Engage
 in Missionary Work.

Among the men who do missionary work in the large cities of the world there are many who have had strange histories, but in all the list hardly one is to be found whose life story Is more wonderful than that of BenJa- min J. Scoville, who is now prePar- ing at the Christian Alliance school in Nyack, N. Y., for special mlsslon- ary work among the stage folk. In the 30 years of his life this young man has had varied experiences. He has been a street gamin, cabin boy, ships cook, tramp, choir boy, actor, teacher of elocution and was at one time assistant stage manager for Sir Henry Irving.
 Scoville was born in London and his father, a British officer, was killed during the Zulu war, leaving a widow and two children. Ben and a baby sis ter. Shortly afterward the mother also died, and the two little ones were left to struggle for themselves. By working as newsboy, street. sweeper and bootblack, the boy man. aged to obtain food for his sister and himself, but as there was no way to pay for lodging the children were ex- posed to the cold at night, sleeping in hogsheads or any place they could find. This kind of life proved too se- were for the little girl, and she soon died, leaving the boy alone in the world.
 The sea had an attraction for him and he secured a place as cabin boy on the ship Vanguard, remaining on the vessel for several years until he was promoted to be the cooks assist ant. While he was serving in this ca- pacity he saved the captains daugh- ter, who had been washed overheard, and for this acs of bravery was pre- sented with five pounds by the Royal Humane society.
 Later on, while employed as stew ards assistant on the steamer Pris- ella, he saw Capt. William Hughes, commander of the vessel, throw

 of ground in Connecticut, about five miles west of the busy town Of Tor rington. The old house is situated on a high bluff, with no other house with in mile of it. The house is built, as most of the houses were at that time -1787-with a great stone chimney in the center of the building, which has it's foundation in the cellar. The tim bers used in the foundation, on which the big stones are laid, are of oak, 12 by IA inches square, and hewn out by hand.
 It was in the western front room that John Brown first saw the light of day. There are two windows in the room, one looking to the south and the other to the west. The first thing that is the fireplace, before which John Brown as boy sat and listened to the black logs cracking in the blaze as the winter winds howled through the sturdy oaks and stalwart chestnut trees in the woods which surround ed two sides of the house. The fire place is quite broken down, owing to the visits of relic hunters, who have taken away stones and bricks for sou venirs.
 There are fourr Roofns downstairs and three above. s The great Kitchen has the big fireplace and old-fashione6 oven that most ofgthe houses of that day had. grown-up man can stand in the kitchen fireplace and look up the chimney and see the clouds soar above in the blue sky. The old crane which once swung, in the fireplace is gone. A Torrington gentleman whc was building fine modern house took that from it's moorings, and it now or naments the fireNlace in his new house. Three years ago the house was shingled, and the old shingles were carefully gathered up by relic hunt CTS and taken away The present own CT is William M. Cook, and he enters enthusiastically Into the plan to place the old landmark under the care of the state.

Photographing the stomach.

Drs. Lange and Melzing have sue ceeded in taking photographs of the mucous membrane of the stomach in the living subject. A stomach tube, 66 centimeters long, with a diameter of Il millimeters, is introduced, hay ing at the lower end an electric lamp and at the upper end camera. The stomach is first emptied and washed and then distended with air. Then 50 pictures can be taken in rapid suc- cession in from 10 to 15 minutes By turning the apparatus on its axis all parts of the mucous membrane can be pictured. The photographs are about the size of cherry stone, but, of course, they can be enlarged to any extent.-London Globe.

sTHE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME.

T
 Invitations having been extended Yesterday, to all of the commissioned officers of the Second regiment. C. W. G., for the performance of Company Els rfiay, "The Girl I Left Behind Me-" on next Monday evening. at Polls when Gov George F. Mclean will be present 1t is expected that forty or fifty mili- fary men will be here on the evening in question: They will be entertained by Company G.. The play will be pro- duced on Monday and Tuesday even ings under the direction of Thomas NJ Freney and. Thomas F. ,Lawlor. The cast will include Miss Grace A. Cross. Dr John D. Frenev, Thomas F. Deyine. Miss Louise NJ. Donahue. Frank T. Keeley, Miss Margaret c. Dillon. Miss Jennie 4. Freney. Edward F. Callahan and others. "The Girl I Left Behind me- is an excellent piece of romantic nelodrama. The scene is an army post. and the environment of the senti- mental story is a revolt of the Indians and an impending peril for a garrison almost defenseless. That situation has long been familiar It is. however. used in this new play with feIicftous Ingenuity. and it is decorated with in- cidents of exciting interest.
 The relations between the two Ioy- CTS are managed with expert skill. and the treatment of the wronged and suf- feriDg officer whose wife has been slured from him is still more felicitous.
 The Indian episode has been judi ciously devised and deftIy handled. The element of suspense is sustained in way to arouse an almost breath less interest.
 It would require many words to re- hearse all the incidents of this piece. Ut is enough to indicate the relations of the chief characters. Kate Kennion loves Lieutenant Hawkesworth. but has promised to marry Lieutenant Par low The latter will not release her from her engagement Lieutenant Par low has seduced and abandoned, before coming to General Kennion's post, the wife of Major Burleigh, who has sought. thus far in vain. to discover his wronger. Lieutenant Parlow is guilty of eowardice in the face of the enemy. and is spared by Lieutenant Hawkesworth. whom he then private Iy accuses of his own crime. Festi- Tities are in progress at the post. An Indian mutiny occurs The identity of ParlOw. as the scoundrel. is discovered by Major BurIeigh. And the fate of these persons is wrought out to Q just close.

among the things shipped by trans port. The first work after arrival was temporary electric light install lation on the Bethulie road bridge Six arc lights were operated by cur rent obtained from dynamo driven by a traction engine. The field tele- phone was first put into use across this bridge. Field telephones were also used to maintain communication with the flying column, copper wire No. % B. ". G. being used. The freight yard and locomotive shops at Bloemfontein were lighted with arc and incandescent lamps. The work of the electrical engineers was of this general class, arc and incandescent lights were installed at many places, the search lights were. used for va rious purposes, telegraphic communi- cation was restored, and they also assisted in the work of repairing bridges, relaying track, etc. The en- gineers were also ;n number of en- agreements, in which they showed that, though volunteers, and yolun teers of special class, they were good soldiers as well.
 When Pretoria was reached there was plenty of work in fitting up elec- trical apparatus which had been wrecked by the Boers. Elaborate construction work was carried on at this city, and the authorities had the advantage of expert advice.

FROM SCOTLAND YARD.

The great English detective play. ssFrom Scotland Yard,v comes to the Jacques the last half of the week, opening with special matinee on Thursday. The title of the play sug- gests at once Nthe possibilities such a theme affords. The central motif of the play is taken from a collection or incidents in the history of England's greatest penal institution. All of them are true and it only needed the Interpretation of comedy and heart interest element to make the play. These the authors. Arthur Shirley and Benjamin Landeck. have introduced so that the play appeals with equal vigor to all tastes. From Scotland Yard' is produced q wealth of scenery which depicts life in London and in the province villages. In fact it fairly breathes the very atmosphere of the country. There are r%e acts and in these some fourteen scenes.
