WEEKEs BILL VETOED.
Governor Ode1l Opposes Abolish
 naent of Spring Enrolment.

Governor OdelI Opposes Abolish
 ment of Spring Enrolment.
 ALBANY, N. Y, April S.-Governor Odell has vetoed the Weekes bill amending the primary election law by abolishing the spring enrolment in New York city In connection with the veto he filed the following memoran- dunn:
 ttThis bill seeks to amend the exist ing primary election law by discontin- uing the days for enrolment upon oth- CT than the days of registration.
 ..The proposed enactment is undesir- able, first, because it is applicable only to the city of New York, although it is under the form of general bill; sec ond, because it would absolutely de- prive young men who may attain their majority subsequent to the registration days from participation in the prima- ries of their party, and, third, because all voters who remove from the district in which they had voted subsequent to election and preceding the next cleo. ton would be barred from assisting in the selection of the candidates of their party.
 While the design of the bill is to cure certain evils in the city of New York, it would, as 1 have indicated, operate to deprive citizens of rights which they now have.'

INAUGURATION DAY.
Fresh Impetes Given to the Pro-
 posed Change of Date.


 WASHINGTON, April S.--The agita- rfon in favor of changing the date of inauguration of the president from the 4th of March to the latter part of April received an impetus at the meeting Of the national committee having the proposition under consideration.
 The change has been advocated main ly owing to the inclemency Of the weather of early March and for other public economic reasons Most of the governors of the states and territories accepted service on the committee, and letters received from them generally showed q desire for a change in the Inauguration date The meeting was presided over by District Commission CT Henry B. F. Mcfarland as tempo rary chairman.
 It was agreed that the chairman should appoint an executive committee and such other committees as might be necessary. It was resolved as the sense of the committed that the date of the inauguration day should be changed from the 4th of March to the last Thursday i'll April, but that no particu- lar bill or resolution should be adyo- ca ted.

THE SECOND IN COMMAND

It was because of the previous record made here by John Drew in Richard Caryel,' that caused Polls theater to be so slimly filled last night, but ii the people had realized for a moment that John Drew had at last secured a play in which he could shine they would have focked out in greater numbers. It certainly was clever production, enacted by a very excellent company from the star down the line of players. It is the best comedy that has been given MT Drew and he accomplished more last night in the character of Major Christopher Bingham, familiar ly known as kit" than in all his other characters put together. The comedy is bright, skillfully written and adapted in every respect to the abili- ties of the company. MT Drew, of course, shared the first honors, and his work was a revelation to those who had only seen him in his last perform ance here. Waterbury theater attend ants love good comedies and they ad- mire clever actors, and for that reason Mr Drew was last night enthusiastlcal- ly received, and the curtain calls he re ceived were merited and appropriate. Miss Ida Conquest in the >character Of Mu1iel presented as sweet and genuine a conception of such a character as the most critical could expect. 1t vas a pleasure to witness this lady'S pre- sentation of the character and she more than added lustre to the produc- ton. Guy Standing also in the charac- ter of Colonel Miles Anstruther clever ly enacted his role and he shared the generous applause which was manifest all through the comedy. Each person in the cast added his or her share to the very beautiful comedy and one must not forget the pretty character of Nora in the hands of Miss Louise Drew. Added to all this were the ex- cellent scenic effects and the handsome costumes, which served to make q per- formance of more than ordinary merit.

Irving Bachel1er's delightful story, "Eben Holden," as dramatized by Ed ward E. Rose and played by E. NJ. Holland, will be the attraction at Polls tomorrow evening. Mir Rose has been extremely successful in dramatizing this book, making prominent the love story of Will Brower and the lovely Hope. The curtain goes up on Long Pine Farm at the time the young peo- pie have come to the realization that

They love each other. But the charac- fer of .sEben Holden is not sighted ill any degree. He is the striking fig are always, the guiding spirit that brings the love affair to happy con clusien. "Eben Holden was one of the real comedy hits on Broadway this season. The play had three months run at the New Savoy theater and has drawn crowded houses wherever else presented. The original company will appear here. Seats are now on sale.

Miss Susan B. Anthony thinks that
as women are becoming more inteIli-
gent 1t accounts for the falling off in
marriages; in other words, we under
stand from this that Miss Anthony
deplores intelligent women marrying.
If the lady is correctly quoted this
seems to be the unkindest cut of all.
The woman who deplores honorable
marriage for women is the worst en-
envy that civilization and humanity
can have. There is nothing like a
happy. home filled with sweet-faced
cheerful children, and the woman or
wife who opposes such is but inviting
national immortality. This certainly
cannot be Miss Anthony's idea.
