Polls Thenter.

This afternoon will witness the open
 ing of this popular vaudeville house with a thoroughly up to date bill.
 Emmett Devoy and company will be the feature act. Devoy is a nephew of the late J. K. Emmett, after whom he is named and bears marked personal resemblance to his celebrated uncle. He will be. remembered by New Ha- ven theatergoers as Friend Karl' with which comedy he has been playing
 until entering the vaudeville world. The sketch, "The Saintly MT. Bill lings,' to be presented, is rich in com
 edy situations and is brought about by the story of a nephew to his uncle
 that the nephew has fine family al- though bachelor. The uncle, pleased with the nephew's upright life. has been in the habit of contributing to the family support, Suddenly he makes a visit to the nephew, who is then com
 pelled to seek a wife and child on somewhat short notice. A typewriter girl is brought into the scheme and
 then complications ensue. Others of
 the company are Myrtle May, Lute
 Brohman and Will Gaylor.
 Others are Mile Louise August and
 Charles H. Weston in the sketch, "Af-
 ter the Ball,'' delightful one with
 handsome Miss August in principal
 role. Hoey and Lee in entertaining
 Hebrew wit. Their parody on "Hia-
 watha' is said to be simply great.

wooDMONTs NEW REGIME,

The new warden and burgesses of Woodmont held their borough meeting Saturday night, their first meeting since the somewhat sensational election down there, when the women turned out and defeated the men at the game of pol tics.
 Warden Carleton read his salutatory address and the meeting then voted to fix his salary at $t50. The clerk and treasurer, E. L. Armstrong, was voted $200; it was voted that Sheriff J. A. Hall should be paid $50 for his services.
 Clerk Armstrong said in reference to the collection of the sum of $40 which the borough has been expecting to get from the town of Milford, that proceed ings at law might have to be taken to secure the money, as there was pro- test against the payment of it on the part of some of the Milfordites.
 A three mill borough tax was levied on the grand list for sanitary purposes. This is in addition to the town tax.

SCHOONER DUBOIS LOST.
Of the Dewell Fleet, Was Run Into by G
 ts,n,

OL hhc DCWSIl Y lesly was IGuH lutO Dy IST-
 man Liner.
 News was received in this city Saturday night of the loss of the five masted schoon- CT Jennie R. Dubois, the latest addition to the famous feett of New Haven vessels of which eX-Lieutenant Governor James D. Dewel of this city is the managing owner. The Dubois, which was the largest vessel belonging to the New Haven fleet, and built less than two years ago, was run into early Friday morning off Block Island by the German steamship Schoenfels, and in a few minutes went to the bottom.
 II The steamship was bound from Calcutta for New York via Boston. The sailing yes sel was bound for Boston from Philadelphia with cargo of 3,300 tons of coal.
 The collision occurred at o'clock in the morning seven miles southeast of Block Isl- and, during dense fog. The steamer struck the schooner amidships with such force that she sank within five minutes. The Schoenfels lowered her boats and sue ceeded in rescuing the entire crew of eleven men. One of the schoOner's crew had his leg broken in the collision.
 Captain Groot of the steamer declined to make any statement regarding the collision.
 The crew of the Jennie k. Dubois saved nothing but what they stood in, so quickly did their vessel sink under them.
 The Dubois was the largest, sailing vessel ever built on the New England coast out side of Maine. She was launched from the yards Of the Holmes Shipbuilding company at West Mystic, Conn.,, on Tuesday, Febru- ary il, 1902. She was of 1852 tons.

 atths Thsater.
 Labor week at the Rock opened au- spiciously yesterday. nearly 2O,OOO per- sons thronging the place. The two con- certs by Atwater's orchestra in the Con- cert Park were greatly enjoyed as were the selections by the Olympian quar- tette. The week promises to be the greatest, in the way of attractions and crowds, of the latter part of the season. Some excellent features are to be given.
 TO-DAY-SPECIAL MATINEE.
 Labor day, which is always a great one at the Rock, will bring to the the ater the famous "Troubadours" in a musical comedy replete with ebony ec- centricities, buck and wing dancing, camp-meeting shouters, jubilee singers, cake walkers and other various refined and amusing negro speciaIties. They will be here for the whole week and be- side the usual matinee at p. m. to- morrow special performance for the accommodation of the crowds will be given, beginning at o'clock. This will undoubtedly be very popular.
 In addition to Atwater's orchestra, which has arranged a special pro- gramme for Labor Day, the New Amer ican Band has been engaged for the evening, thus affording another festival of music similar to that, except in the selections played of last week, which was so much enjoyed.
 Wednesday the Wallingford Fire works company has been engaged to give another special pyrotechnical dis play, Thursday there will be double concert again by the orchestra and band, while on Friday another great fireworks exhibition will be given by the Connecticut Fireworks company.

THE OLD MILL.

Long before that most brilliant and enjoyable attraction "The Old Milr' was ever thought of the saying Eve been through the mill" was on the lips of young and old. The saying now has double meaning, made by the estab- lishment of "The Old Milp' at the Rock, so don't unconsciously prevaricate when using it. Be on the safe side and go through "The Old Mill'' then you have been through both and cannot make a mistake. It's great trip and treat.
