VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 l is doubtful which is attracting most attention the past two days, the ruins of the great fire or the fine vaudeville show running at the Jacques. Every performance the past two days has been crowded and the most enthusiastic comments are passed on the show as one of the very finest exhibitions of vaudeville ever present. ed here In addition to Professor D'Almas educated monkeys and dogs and Harry Deaves's marionettes, two splendid novelties, there is q wealth of comedy of the most amusing char acter. James and Fanny Donovan, the quaint Irish story tellers. always have their audiences in roars with their mer- ry jests, and Gertrude Mansfield and Caryl Wilbur have sketch that is as merry as the name it bears, "A Bird and Bottle" Others who contribute to this part of the bill are the Flood brothers. Raymond and Caverly, and the Seekers Trio. Prices are 10 and 20 cents for the matinees, all ladies 10; evening prices for all. 10, % and 80 cents.

TEE WHITE KNIGHT.

 The silver birch's rind has caught A powder light as frost; And, raund and white, like milky veinss The gra pevins threads are crossed The hoyden haw has pinned plume TO the edge of her stiff gray hood, And willow and sloe and oak bend low To the White Knight in the wood A shrill east wind the forge-blaze famed Where the ice-smith wrought amaln. And clear and fine as the frailest pearl Are the links of his armor-cha1n. His pace is swift and he travels Wells Where the lonely gorges wind, But his step is still on the forest-stll, And the White Knights quest is kind. No poniard-point of the grim North King Who stalks from the black beyond Can smite, through the sweep of his broad
 pure shield
 The brakes most helpless frond. The tender things of the wood are held In 9 long and peaceful spell, Though the snarling blast be fierce and
 fast,
 For the White Knight guards them well Hattie Whitney, in Youths Companion.

FoREsrERs UNION FAIR.

Now that the excitement of the ter rible fire has somewhat subsided and our business men have resolved to re- build and start out anew on their pros porous career, the fair of the united Foresters in the auditorium will re-
 ceive renewed encouragement from our people. s'Benevolence," the watch word of the order, will shine with old time brilliancy. as the order easily stands in the front rank of fraternal benevolent orders. The attraction to- night will be the appearance of Miss Margaret Turner of Hartford, a lady whose friends here are legion, as she is one of the most popular singers who have appeared here in years. At the Sunday night concert at Polis she will also appear in some of her best num- bers. Miss Josephine Mcknight of our own city will also render some of her choice violin selections. This young lady has studied under some of the best masters and it will be a real treat to hear her. Mir Sullivan, Mir Gregoire, Miss K. Gloster, D. J. Lawlor and many others will complete the program that for brilliancy and talent have never before been equalled in our city, Tomorrow night a handsome gold watch will be given to the lady hold ing the lucky number in the grand march. Friday and Saturday nights there will be star attractions, and the committee hopes to be able to meet the friends of the order the remaining nights of the fair in large numbers. The decorations are fine. Kleinecke's orchestra of ten pieces furnishes the latest dance music The canvassers are charming, the prices low, and. in fact, everything has been done to make everyone pass a pleasant even ing. Besides, the cash prizes, value $lOOO, which will be drawn the clos Ing night, will send everyone home happy and contented. and the Forest ers' fair of 1902 will pass into history as the most successful fair they ever held. The price of admission is only 15 cents; the books of prizes S1 each. twelve tickets in book, or 10 cents for a sirgle ticket. So we hope the Audi torium will be crowded to the doors the rest of the fair and Polls full to the brim Sunday night next

 The facts of the case were these: In the year 1867 an agitation was on foot amongst the farmers and land- owners of the coast to drain the im- mense marshes which stretched in one monotonous level miles and miles along the bleak coast of the sea, and which for centuries the sea had in- vaded and swamped in every winter etorm. Rich in themselves, these lands were rendered valueless by the inroads of salt water.
 Yet, to the marsh men, or "s1odgers," who had common rights over these vast expenses, they were all in all. Mill lions of sea fowl lived and bred in these reoesses. Cattle, herds of geese and marsh ponies grazed on the coarse grass. Turf to warm themselves dur ing the bitter winter, and reeds to thatch their cots; all these were the benefits the marshmen received from the lands. And all these would be lost by draining and inclosure. What wonder they were furious. Yet what could they do?

Origin of the word s.roa.t.v

The drinks most in use in the six teenth and seventeenth centuries were sack, canary, claret, sherry and oth- CTS, to which it was customary to add honey, sugar, ginger, cinnamon and other ingredients; also piece of toast, which hoated on top of the liquor, and was supposed to give it an additional flavor. Later on, in the eighteenth century, Dr. Johnson re- lates: "A certain beau, being at bath, pledged noted beauty in a glass of water taken from her bath; where upon another roysterer cried out he would have nothing to do with the liquor, but would have the toast-that is, the lady herself" From the incl dent, it is said, arose the habit of giv- ing lady's name to preface, or flavor, the drinking of wine. Hence popular lady whose health was often drunk became Ca toast,'' or "a great toast" Later the word has come to mean any sentiment which prefaces a drink.

He STOLE BOLOGNA
Little Eight Near Old Boy Charged
with That Crime

A little boy eight years old was ar
rested by the police yesterday on the
charge of stealing a piece of bologna
from the West Side Racket. The lad
lives on the West Side and was loafng
around the store and he espied the boil
ogna and simply swiped a piece and had
had it but a very few minutes until an
officer came up TO him and asked him
what he had under his coat. The boy at
first stouuy denied having stolen the
meat and said he was sent to the store
to buy it for his mother, but the officer
could not see that part of the story as
the lad had taken particular pains to hide
The meat under his coat when going out
of the store SO the policeman took the
little fellow to the station. The boy did
not feel very bad about being caught
stealing. but sat in the Office yesterday
and told all kinds of stories about what
q brave man he was and how fast he
could run if he had not wanted the officer
TO catch him
