JULIA ARTHUR's RICH GIFT.
Former Actress Presents Miss Cros- man with the Production of
 .sAs You Like It,"

Mrs. Julia Arthur Cheney, who re- tired from the stage little more than a year ago, has presented 10 Miss Hem rietta Crosman complete production of Shal<espeare's comedy "As You Like It." The gift includes all the cos tunes, scenery and properties of the play and all the expense of the produc- tion prior to the lifting Of the curtain. Its value is about $20,O0O.
 Miss Crosman hesitated to accept Mrs. Cheney's unusual and rich gift, but the latter put aside her scruples by acknowledging that, though she had forsaken theatrical life, she de- sired to see Shakespeare perpetuated on the stage and was anxious to lend her assistance for the advancement of the dramatic art.
 Until two weeks ago Julia Arthur Cheney and Henrietta Crosman had never met. but when the former act ress heard that Miss Crosman had de- cided to make Shakespearean pro. duction Miss Crosman was asked to accept the production of .'As You Like It." Mrs. Cheney can afford to make such a rich present to her sister act ress- A few years ago she married B. P. Cheney. of Boston, who is a million aire. She continued to act for time after her marriage, but finally retired to private life

HENRIETTA CRosAIAN.

One of the leading fashionable events of the season is scheduled for to-mOr- row evening at Polls when Miss Henri etta Crosman will appear in her ex- 1raOrdinary success of last season in New York. Mistress Nell" Though Miss Crosman has never appeared in Waterbury before. theater goers will probably need no introduction to her because of the great impression she made in the Broadway last season. Miss Crosman was booked at Polls theater last spring. but she was recalled to WaIlack's theater in New York to fin ish her season and ran there until warm weather closed all the theaters in the metropolis. 1t was for this reason that local theater-goers missed seeing this great success last year. but it seems the pleasure was only delayed for Miss CrOsman brings her entire company to POli's tomorrow night. This play. 'sMistress Nell'' is entirely different from that played here last year by Ada Rehan. It is by George C. Hazleton. who is now at work on an- other play from Miss CrOsman. The sale of seats was opened this morning to big rush of patrons. prices being 25. 50, 75 cents, S1 and S1.50.

PRINCESS CHIC"

Marguerita Sylya in Princess Chic" will follow on Thursday evening at Poli's. and will be the second great fashionable occasion of the week. It is the first offering of comic opera this season, and on that account, as well as for the splendid reputation of the Kirke La SheIIe Opera company, which presents it, there will undoubtedly be many who will wish to see it. Miss Sylva is known as one of our leading comic opera queens. and her presence assures a splendid rendering of the title role. The opera was presented here by the same company two sea sons ago, Miss SyIva's role then being played by Christie Macdonald, and made a capital impression. It is spIendidly staged and the singing is thoroughly finished ill every detail. so that it should prove q most satisfying entertainment. The sale of seats opens two-morrOw at 2j. 50, 75 ents, S1 and $1.JO.

ARE TO BE TRUSTED.
High-Caste Hindoos to Be Given
 Commands in the Army.
British Government Has Decided to Try the Experiment of Advancing Native Cadets of Ability to
 Positions of Command.

Ever since the Sepoy rebellion 1t has been the policy of the British government to discourage any at tempt on the part of aristocratic residents of India to attain high military rank. This policy was due to the well-founded suspicion that the high-caste natives were not to be trusted. But of late years this class has so often demonstrated it's loyalty that change has been de cided upon. The plan contemplates the bestowal of military rank upon a certain number of highly born cadets. A large field is already pro vfded for the military employment of native officers of good birth or position, nearly 5000 being in the commissioned rank of the native army; but there has been dearth of corresponding openings for the sons of Indian princes, nobles and gentlemen, who are every day re- ceiving a superior education, but to whom opportunities of active public service when they reach years of manhood are restricted. A desire to gratify the military aspiration of these classes has long existed, but difficulties in connection with selec- tion, tuition. military rank and duties have barred the way.
 The present experiment will be of a tentative character and some time must elapse before it's details are fully worked out. It rests upon the periodical selection of a small num- ber-probably 20 to start with--of scions of noble families, who, with rare exceptions, will be drawn from the four chief colleges at Aimere, Lahore, Rajkot and Indore and who will constitute what will be known as the Imperial Cadet corps under the command of specially selected commandant and adjutant. The cadets will pass through two years course of training in the cold wealth CT and will from time to time be in personal attendance upon the vice. roy on ceremonial and other occa- sions. Such of them as exhibit spe- cial capacity will then pass through course of military training in a garrison class and ultimately will be appointed to staff positions or other -regimental military employ ment. The scheme is said to have the enthusiastic support of Edward VII

of Mindanao, where the Moro tribe is dominant, the United States will face a big revolt. He said:
 'Moros are Mohammedans and polygamy is part of their religion. Just as soon as preachers get to work among them, preaching against plural wives, the trouble will begin. They are fierce warlike tribe, who do not know what surrender means. Like all Moslems they are fanatical to the last degree and will fight for their religion to the bitter end. They are a stay-at- home race and have mingled very lit tie with other islanders.
 Spain never made any attempt to govern them and thus avoia aed trouble. As long as we do not meddle with their affairs there is little danger of con fiict, but any attempt to make them conform to our standards of morality or religion will provoke war. There are no fewer than 100000 Moros and war with them would make the recent trouble with the Filipinos look like child's plav.''

NATURES RESERVOIRS.
Big Trees of CaIEfornia Serve as Such to the Surrounding
 Country.

'Why.'' it will be asked, fare the big tree groves always found on well-wa- tered spots?" Simply because big trees give rise to streams, says John Muir, in Atlantic. It is mistake to suppose that the water is the cause of the groves being there. On the con trary, the groves are the cause of the water being there. The roots of this immense tree fill the ground, forming a sponge which hoards the bounty of the clouds and sends it forth in clear perennial streams instead of allowing it to rush headiong in short-lived, de- structive floods. Evaporation is also checked and the air kept still in the shady sequoia depths, while thirsty robber winds are shut out. {. The value of these forests in storing and dispensing the bounty of the mountain clouds is infinitely greater than lum- Der or sheep. To the dwellers of the plain, dependent on irrigation. the big tree is a tree of life, never-failing spring. sending living water to the low lands all through tine hot rainless sum- mer. For every grove cut down a stream is dried up. Therefore all Cali fornia is crying: Save the trees of the fountains!" nor, judging by the signs of the times, is it likely that the cry will cease until the salvation of all that is left of Seouoia Gigantea is sure.

CATS IN POST OFFICES.
Rat Cafchers That Are Paid by the Government for Their
 Services.

Several years ago a letter containing large sum of money disappeared from the New York post office, writes Hugh Netherton, in Ladies' Home Journal, in telling of ''Cats That Draw Salaries" month after the disap- pearance a desk in one of the rooms was moved, and on-the floor was found nest of young rats resting on bed of macerated greenbacks-all that was left of the missing letter. Uncle Sam at last decided to employ a cat to pro- tect the New York post office from rats and mice. The first appointee in the United States rat and mouse catching service was large gray tabby. She secured the place through the recom- mendation of her owner, who certified that she was not only good mouser, but also friend of the administration qualities which she at once exempli- fled by her work.
 With New York as an example, other post offices asked for cats, and to-day nearly every large office in the United States has it's official mouser or rat killer. who receives from nine to twelve dollars year. This income is expend- ed under the supervision of the post masters for the purchase of food. Milk is the chief item, for the cats are sup posed to provide themselves with meat.

 The German army has adopted the "lance boat" of Herr Adolf Key for crossing rivers. With 12 or Is caval- ry lances six men can build a boat in five minutes, and take it to pieces again in two minutes. The frame work of lances is, of course, covered with waterproof canvas. The oars are lances with canvas blades.

He used to describe the battle with great gusto Mir. Chamberlain was a native of Leicester, England.

MAKING oLp POTATOES NEW.
Kettles of Boiling Lye Used in the Process to Harden Them and
 Curl Their Skins.

Late in the season, after the crops are out of the way, the gardener plants a crop of late and good-look ing potatoes The time has been chosen from experience, and is op- perfume for yield of small potatoes before the frosts of winter come down upon the gardeners truck patch, says Popular Science.
 These potatoes are dug and buried in heaps in the open field and left until spring opens and the new po- tato season arrives. At the Rroper time the heaps are opened and the potatoes sorted according to size.
 In the meantime a large kettle is set in the field adjacent to the po- tato heaps, and made ready by fill ing with water and adding sufficient I've to effectually curl the skin of the potato when dipped into the boiling solution.
 A crane and metal basket are rigged so that a dipping can be done expeditionsly, snd the way that new potatoes are turned out is astonish- ing.
 The effect of dipping any potato, no matter how old, into this boiling I've solution is to crack and curl the skin. and at the same time it hard ems or makes the potato much more firm, so that its resemblance to a new potato is so near that it will be hard 10 pick out the impostor, from appearance alone, from bas- ket of the genuine article.
 After dipping the potatoes are rinsed in another vat and spread out to dry in the sun, and cure until per feet new potatoes, and the work is compIete

 The gate-leg table is an old-fash- toned institution just returning to favor. It has manifold uses. It does service at a tea or card party and is convenient to hold bottle or glass of lemonade beside a reading chair. When not in use it folds up out of the way and takes place against the wall.
 Correct house furnishing these days has comfort as a foremost considera- tion. Every room, except perhaps the most formal reception room, should have the air of being in daily, homely use. One rule conducting to this is a table for the head of each divan or sofa, just large enough to support a lamp, hold book or magazine or sup port an elbow.
 A Florida fruit-grower states that the natives of the pineapple district never think of cutting pineapple across. They pare it, cut it lengthwise. slice it or not, and, with the trimmed crown as handle, eat it much as a New Englander does his green corn, rejecting the core. This, the writer states, not only improves the flavor but lessens the strings of fiber that get in the teeth.
 The walls of the kitchen in the new apartments and dwelling houses are tiled with marble their entire height, or else wainscoted high and finished to the ceilings with enamel paint. Diff ferences of opinion prevail regarding the floors. While tiling or mosaics are ideal as far as cleanliness goes, they are cold in winter and hard for the feet. Hardwood floors are preferred in many of the best houses, and these are frequently covered with linoleum.

..THE wRoNG MR wRIGHr..

Evidently the meager attendance had something to do with the production last night for the performance was not all that it could be made The company was there and the people were clever enough but somehow they did not have the heart in their work that was expected of them. The star. John Allison was the whole show and his work was clever and entertaining
 Mir Allison needs q better company to make .sThe Wrong Mir Wright go right Some of the people in the cast last night were not fitted to the char acters assigned them and had to be carried along by the hard efforts of the star and three others. Those three were H. G. Hockey as Lord Brazen- face Maude Allison as Tillie Bird and Eloise French as Henrietta Oliver
 There were no remarkable features about the performance unless we ex- cept the work throughout of Mir Ali son. The stage settings in the first two acts were the property of the house and the third act presented a very poor picture of a parade ground. with fort res Monroe and Old Point Comfort in view The play was pruned enough last night and what 1t needs is a gen eraI shaking up and a little more life instilIed into the whole production.

The ingenious overhead miniature railway which has been installed in Victoria station, Manchester, for the conveyance of passengers luggage from one platform to another, is both ! practical and interesting device. Passengers are never tired of watch ing the movements of the aerial en- gineer as he passes from one part of the station to another with his swinging basket of luggage. The track, which is a double one, is sus- pended from the roof. It's motive power is electricity, and the motor is contained between the wheels on the track. Not only does it drive the little railway, but it also lifts or lowers the basket as the man who works it wills. The basket holds about 1,5OO pounds of luggage.-Cin- cinnati Enquirer.
