THE PIGEON CAME BACK.

Fair Haven Pigeon Fancers Make h.
 teresting Challenges.
 Ex-Alderman Jacob Frolieh has seve- ral very handsome and valuable carrier pigeons at his loft at 305 Quinnipiac avenue. There are about thirty of them and he is willing to back them against any other equal number in the state of Connecticut One of his pigeons was sent out about three weeks ago very much as Noah at one time sent out the dove from the ark. The bird did not come back until yesterday. when the bird put in an appearance looking fat and hearty, and MT. Frohlich thinks that some pigeon fancier took the bird in and expected to keep him. But the bird knew his old home when he had an opportunity, and he is now at home all right.
 MT. Frohlich is @ member of the Twentieth Century Homing club of New Haven, and Harry Leigh is the secre- tary. They have sent out challenge to the Waterbury and the Bridgeport Homing clubs to have a series of races from one hundred to three hundred miles on wagers of from one hundred to five hundred dollars. The gentlemen from Fair Haven have all the conf1d- ence in the world in their birds, and they believe that it is not misplaced, and that they can beat any birds in the state. If any one is incredulous let them talk with Messrs. Frohlich of Leigh, and they will be satisfied that these gentlemen are way uo on pigeon talk.

 This last named report concerns a new line of study which was begun by the station some time since with funds left for it's use by the late William R. Lockwood of South Norwalk.
 The study is on ways of improving the uncultivated land of Connecticut. The work thus far has been chiefly in planting @ 60-acre field of sandy bar ren land, with valuable trees, and in planting in different ways to test the value of the different methods on such land. In connection with this work a forest nursery of some size has been established.
 The forester has also given advice and assistance to owners of woodland who wished to improve land already bearing timber growth or to bring

Hyperion 'Theater.
Hyperion Iheater. MRS. JACK AT HYPERION TO- MORROW NIGHT,

MRS. JACK AT HYPERION TO-
 MORROW NIGHT.
 Grace Livingstone Furniss' comedy of American life, Mrs. Jack" is to be given at the Hyperion theater to-mor- row night under the direction of Henry B. Harris. The rise of the curtain dis closes the home of the late Jack Ban astar, whose widow has just arrived to take possession of this portion of the ten million dollar estate left to her at his death, although she had lived with him only six months after their mar riage, which took place four years be- fore the play opens. Just prior to this a sensational sheet had published an alleged biography depicting Mrs. Jack as a "piehandler" and a "buffalo-hun- ter.' This notoriety added to their disappointment over the distribution of Jack Banastar's wealth causes his sis ter, Mrs. Hilda Pointer, to extend an insolent welcome to Mrs. Jack.
 Charles Banastar, Jacks brother, shrewdly takes advantage of Mrs. Jacks heart-aching loneliness and gains her goodwill and friendship. He wins over Hilda Pointer to his view and in the second act we find them
 both established at Mrs. Jacks Long Island home, where they entertain friends in lavish style. The servants fleece her and her relatives rob her,
 while society patronizes and sneers at her. These unpleasant facts are proven
 IrnI I.,tr ItN love with Mrs. Jack for number of years and who has followed her to New York to guard her interests. Mrs. Jacks cares of business affairs so oc
 cupies her that her eyes are not opened to the duplicity of Jacks family until the true character of Charles Banas- tar is unexpectedly revealed, which is
 at the end of the second act, as result climaxes in a scene of intense dramatic strength.
 Mrs. Jack secures her revenge, in the third act on society and her family; to the former she brings confusion by giv- ing them a lively burlesque of their caricature of herself as the buffalo hunter" and "biscuit-shooter." Jus tice is meted out to the Banastar fam fly by the codicil and in punishment for their greed and selfishness they lose all they had striven for. Absurdly
 funny complications and laugh-compel- ling episodes promise lively enter tainment
 The three acts, in the New York home of Jack Banastar, his country place on Long Island and his estate overlooking the Hudson furnish splendid opportuni- ties to the scenic artist. Joseph Physioc
 has taken advantage of them and pro- vided a seres of equipments character ized by luxurious good taste. MT. Harris has gathered together a noteworthy cast, it's members being equally well qualified for serious and comic characterization. It includes Alice Fischer, who plays the title role, Mrs. Thorndyke Bouccicault, Edward Abeles, James Carew, Thomas Evans, Alice Leigh, Charles M. Collins, Jacques Kruger, Myrtle Vinson, Florence Lloyd, George Schaeffer, Anne Huntington, George Fox, E. L. Clark. Seats now on sale.

 The play will be given again to-day at the matinee and again at night.
 The return of Theodore Kremer's Twentieth Century melodrama, The Fatal Wedding" to the Grand opera house the last three days thi sweek. is on the lips Of everyone. If you have missed seeing it on it's previous visit don't delay securing seats now. The memory of its last visit is still fresh and undimmed It was the occasion of triple triumph for managers, actors and author. The production this season is on still more elaborate scale, with all the original members of the com pany in their respective roles. The story of the little mother" appeals strongly to our best nature, and has been repeated many times by enthusfas- tic admirers. The snow storm at night on the Jeresey Palisades, and the in- terior of Grace church, illuminated for wedding ceremony with the surpliced choir of boys, are scenes of rare beauty, and seldom seen. Hardly has the first word been spoken in the play until something has happened, and so on throughout four splendid acts, the in- terest being feverishly sustained until the final denoument, which always brings a whirlwind of prolonged ap- plauSe.
 There will be matinee Saturday.
 One of the biggest successes of last season that will come to the Grand opera house on Monday next, Labor day, is "The Ministers Daughter" a drama of love and heart throbs, telling an interesting story. The mounting of this piece is magnificent; over car load of scenery and effects being used in it's production. The cast producing it is very strong and composed of well known popular players.
 The engagement is for three nights, with holiday matinee Labor day and the regular matinee Wednesday.

Russia's Gloomy Condition.

NJ De Witte Is perhaps the greatest
finance minister Russia has ever had,
and in his last report he painted as
gloomy view Of the industrial and
economic situation of the empire as any
of his predecessors have done in the
darkest days Of war, bankruptcy and
famine. The metal industries, he says,
are on the verge of ruin; the textile
nearly as bad; in twenty years the
productivity of the land has diminished
over one-quarter; an acre producing
less than onetifth Of the same area In
America; the number of houses has d.
minished nearly one-half in thirty
years; nearly half Of the population are
hoplessly in arrears with their taxes.
and the only parts of the empire which
show any signs Of prosperity are those
inhabited by non Russian populations
Finland, Poland and the Caucasus. 1t

aggressive purposes, though she is little
