a large audience at last nights per-
Torrance. The famous Irish servant
girl impersonators, the Russell broth
ers, in George Cohans sketch, "a Ro-
nance of New Jersey" had an uproar-
ious time. The story this sketch tells
is funny one and introduces Clar-
ence, a cop, and Rosie O'Grady and
Maggie Mooney. This combination ere
ated lots of fun. A neat little comedy
sketch that met with a good recep-
ton was WANTED a Stenographer,
which introduced the Taylor Richards
company. These people rival the four
Cohans as mirth provokers and have
merry farce. Harry H. Richard as Hi
ram Brett, the capitalist, the old boy,
made a hit The singing speciality .ls
a very pleasing one and altogether this
sketch is bound to become a drawing
card all this week. Billy Yeager and
Maude Yeager in coon singing and
dancing skit introduced many new
steps and sang coon songs in man
ner that brought them an encore.
Youngs and Brooks have good must

THE GAME LAW.
Fined Three Hundred and Sixty Dol
lars for Selling Quail.

Fined Three Hundred and Sixty Dol
lars for Selling Quail.
The game authorities Of Fairfield
county are in earnest in their efforts to
preserve the game and to prevent vio-
lations of the law. The Stamford Ad-
vocate of Saturday gives the following
account of a trial that took place in
that town on Saturday:
Severe punishment was melted out to
Wallace A. Stevens of Atlantic street,
in the city court to-day for the sale of
game birds. For selling thirty-three
quails, woodcocks and cartridges he
was fined $40 per bird, which with the
costs will bring his total fine up to
about $3.50. When Stevens was put to
plea he entered a plea of guilty, but
when the court gave his decision he
changed his mind and took an appeal.
Bonds were fixed In the sum of $500.
Joseph Moll became his bondsman. This
is the first local prosecution under the
statute covering such cases. The law,
which has been in effect in this state for
about two years, has for its object the
protection of game fro mslaughter by
men who shoot for the market. It is
such men who are responsible for the
killing off of game birds and who. as a
rule, shoot at any and all times. in and
out of season. The law provides for a
minimum fine of $40 for each bird sold
in this manner, or a maximum fine of
$50 and a term in prison. AS this was
Stevens first offense the minimum
penalty was inflicted. 1t appears that
Stevens, who has been spending few
weeks vacation in the woods at the
north end of the town, has been shoot
ing game birds and sending them into
Stamford for sale. George A. Ferris
a local game protector, got wind of the
matter and secured evidence sufficient
to convict Stevens. Last evening Mr.
Ferris drove to the back country and
placed Stevens under arrest. He was
released under bond of $500, and this
morning appeared in the city court to
answer the above charge. The complaint
mentioned October "a, October 2S and
November as the dates on which the
birds were sold.

THE WOLF WITH THE BELL.

A settler on the upper Mattawa Gin
Quebec caught wolf last winter. He
had read that ships are sometimes
cleared Of rats by fastening a bell
around the neck of one of them. And
the bright idea occurred to him that in
a similar manner he might clear the
adjacent woods of wolves. He fastened
a bell on his VOLTS neck and released
him.
After the snow had melted he allowed
his flock of 'sheep to exercise their
lambs in the fields near the house. His
children were with their father looking
at the gambols of the lambs, when the
sheep were noticed to prick up their
ears as if intently listening. Then,
with much bleating, the whole flock
raced to the woods.
Wondering at the vagaries of the an
imals the farmer went about his work.
About an hour later the children came
up to him with the news that the sheep
had returned, but had left one OF the
lambs behind them. The next day the
same thing occurred again, and anoth-
err lamb disappeared. The children
tried to keep the sheep in the fields,
but, failing, followed them into the
bush. They reported that they had
distinctly heard bell tinkling in the
distance. Then it began to dawn on
the farmer that the bell which had been
fastened, to the neck of his gray wolf
visitor was the same which was borne
by the father of the flock in the previ-
Gus summer. The quick-eared sheep
had recognized the sound of the bell,
and, true to their instinct, had has
tened to join their last years compan-
ion.
That they found not exactly wolf
in sleeps clothing, but wolf attached
to sleeps bell, and ready to take adj
vantage of his condition to dine on
spring lamb, was no fault of theirs,
though certainly their misfortune. The
settler does not appear to think very
much of the bell plan of disposition of
wolves, philadelphia Telegraph.
