A most ingenious theft is reported
on one of the railways in Burma
The Burmese head-covering it must
be understood, is a silk kerchief,
often of considerable value, called
gaungbaung." Some young dare
devils attach prickly bushes to long
bamboo poles, and when the matt
train passes they yell out, which
causes the native passengers to stick
their heads out of the carriage win
dows. The train is then raked from
end to end by means of the scrubby
poles, with the result that the Bur-
man male passengers are deprived of
their gaungbaungs. Some ~ silk
head-dresses were thus acquired by
the young scaInsvs in one night

REopEN1NG OF THE JACQUES.

hhOE hNlNG Ob' IHE JAZZ LIS.
Labor day will be a welcome one
with show goers, since it marks the re-
opening of the Jacques for its second
season of high class vaudeville under
the personal direction of Manager Poll.
The season will open with the mat
1nee Monday afternoon, and every af-
ternoon and evening for the ensuing
nine months vaudeville of the class
made famous by Mr. Poll will be pre-
sented. The house has been renovated
and beautified during the summer, a
new stage having been built and ar,
engagements made for having it lighted
in the brilliant style characteristic of
the leading vaudeville houses of Amer
lea. Mr. Poll himself personally super
intended the improvements made, and
they will be found in line with his well
known policy of doing everything in
the most liberal manner. The booking
this season will be made by Mr. Poll
again as last year. in connection with
his New Haven and his new Bridge
port theater, and with this compact
circuit of three theaters he will be
able to provide better arrangement for
his local vaudeville patrons than ever
before. AS an instance of this he is
able to announce for his opening week
the appearance of Flo Irwin, the. sis
ter of the famous May Irwin. who
has now entered upon a vaudeville
career, as told in these columns on
Tuesday Miss Irwin will appear in
conjunction with Walter Hawley in
a comedietta entitled Caught with the
Goods and it will be played in the in
imitab1e style that characterized Miss
Irwin's work in "The Small Miss FitzI
well" and other successful farce ctHe-
dies in which she has starred. This
will, of course, be the leading feature
of this opening bill, but there are 9th
ers that are hardly less distinguished
in point of merit Among them are
Johnson, Davenport and Lorella in
their great aerial act entitled : The
Farmer and the Football Players,
the two Pucks. who are about the mos
gifted child players on the vaudeville
stage, Fields and Wooley and several
others. The whole will make bill of
surprising merit and Will be practic-
ally the same as Mr. Poll will offer in
New Haven the following week. 1t is
guarantee at the very beginning of
thoroughly satisfactory arrangement
for lovers of high. class vaudeville, an
if the Jacques is not crowded at the
opening performances Labor Day af-
ternoon and evening it will be more
than a surprise. Prices will be the
same as last year. 10, 20 and 30 cents
evenings and for the matinees 10 and
20 cents, with a special rate of 10
cents for ladies in all parts of the
house.

Theatrical
Fraternal


The attraction served to small at
tendance of theater-goers at Polls the
alter last night was Guy IF. Steely'a
fhree-act musical comedy, Hunting
for Hawkins reconstructed and pro-
duced by Claude .Gillingwater. The
play reEolves about one Hawkins, who
goes under the name of Sancroft to as
sist a friend in need. Endless and ex-
traordinary complications of an anus
ing nature result from this parading
under false name and the audience
was kept in roars of laughter through
out the play. William Friend made an
admirable Hawkins, while Aft Grant
as Owen Touchem. with a touching
habit, made himself a favorite with
the audience by his clever portrayal of
Ythe eccentric character. Mrs Matilda
Ashley, a member of an old aristo-
cratic family, was played in select So
ciety style by Miss May Thompson.
The other characters were enacted in
manner satisfactory to the audience.
The third act>consists to a great ex>
tent Of vaudeville features. Newell
and Nib1o are two good novelty musical
dnstrumentalists while John and Ber-
fha Gleason. Americas best dancers"
are better dancers than they are sing
ers. They would make a better hit if
they would cut out their singing VIII
liam Friend and Miss Hallv Martin
sang a pleasing duet. while Aft Grant
is delightful as mono1ogue artist
The performanceswas decidedly pleasing
and was worthy of a larger audience.
s'THE MINISTER'S DAUGHTERS"
The excellent comedy drama, 1.-THE
Minister'S Daughters" which is down
for presentation tomorrow and Satur.
day evenings at Polls, with a specia,
matineeo on Saturday, tells the story of
two country girls, daughters of the
widow of country minister, who go
to New York in search of employment,
so that they may be able to keep the
little country home where they have
been brought up and where their aged
mother still resides The home having
been mortgaged, these two daughters
start out to keep the wolf from the
door of their country home, and to try
and pay off the mortgage. The many
mishaps which befall them in their en-
deayors and the many trying ordeaIs
IN which they are placed, are correctly
drawn by the author, Leonard Grover
Besides the pathetic side of his story
he has placed sensational episodes,

The Northernmost Church.

The northernmost church on this
continent is the church at Nome, Alas
ka. on the edge of the Arctic circle,
built and paid for by the people Of that
mining town.
To build church in the midwinter
of the Arctic, with the Thermometer
ranging from 10 to 20 below zero while
digging for the foundation, is feat to
make record of. Equally note worthy
is the unity with which men of many
creeds and no creed co-operated in the
work. In spite OF cold and exception
ally heavy snow fall, the building, with
seating capacity of five hundred, was
the general enthusiasm.
Women shared in it by preparing and
serving the dinners given to the men
who gave their labor. The house IS de-
scribed as one that would be creditabIe
to any town as large as Nome. When
it was dedicated a deficit of $500 re-
manned after collection had been
made to cover the cost, $4,000 in all.
This tho trustees prepared to assume,
but two persons cancelled it at once.
In the London Temperance Hospital,
during 25 years, alcohol has only been
used in 81 cases GU: Of a total of more
than 81 900.
There are 100000 more total alb
stalners today than so years ago, and
yet there are 20 per cent more drinkers.
The increase in population accounts
for this apparent contradiction.
Henry Werlich, a schoolmaster at
Middle Bass, Ohio, was relieved of his
charge because he chewed tobacco and
,, bcsmeared the floor of the schoolhouse
with dark brown splotches. The Coun-
ty Board of Examiners tried the man.
The affair was replete with ludicrous
| incidents.
The following is from the Wine and
Spirit Gazette: A man in Pana, ILL.,,
be came intoxicated in a saloon in that
town and while in that condition fell
from his wagon and was killed. His
widow brought suit against the saloon
man and recovered vedict of $4,000.
The case was carried to the Supreme
Court of Illinois with the result that
the decision Of the lower court was sus-
tanned, 1t beng held that dram shop
keepers are liable for personal injuries
sustained by persons while intoxicated,
as result of the use of liquor obtained
from them.
The late Benz amin A. Harrison, at
the Worlds Missionary Conference:
1.-THE men who like Paul have gone to
heather lands with the message, we
seek not yours, but you,' have been
hlndered by those who, coming after,
have reversed the message. Rum and
other corrupting agencies come in with
our boosted civilization, and the feeble
races wither before the hot breath of
the white mans vices. The great ma
tlons have combined to suppress the
slave trade. Is It too much to ask that
they shall combine to prevent the sale
of spir t. to men who less than
our children have acquired the
habits of self.restraint? If we
must have consumers let us give
