and the company from Deep River was
summoned to give assistance.
The Chester house was three stories
and half high and was built In 1910.

Frank T. Smith is proprietor. The
postoffice, livery stable and five stores
are within a stones throw of the house.
The fire started in the space between
the attic and roof of the hotel and is
supposed to have been caused by de-
fective f1ue. BY $50 the fire companies
had the fire under control. The build
ing was owned by Mrs. Ulysses S. Cook
of Moodus. 1t was insured for $4,000.
Mr.. Smith has an insurance Of $1,000 on

Smith attempted to go up stairs after
the fire started but was driven back
by the smoke. The f1remen did ex-
cellent work in saving the adjoining
buildings.

Branford Prisoner Scorched and Burn
ed-He Then Escaped.
Gabriel Gableson, arrested in Bran
ford for breach of the peace, did not
appear in court yesterday morning and
thereby hangs a tale. When Gabelson
was arrester the constable borrowed an
oil stove and locked Gabelson and the
stove up together.
In the middle of the night the stove
exploded and the residents around the
green were aroused by yells from the
town hall Frank Jerold saw flames in
the hall and extinguished the blaze,
while some others secured the key to
the lookup and took out Gabelson, who
was half dead from suffffocation and
burns.
1t was decided to let the prisoner go
on his own recognizance. When Judge
Doolittle opened court Gabelson did not
appear and could not be found.

Use prudenttnl;s Great showing,

In reading the twenty seventh annu-
al statement of The Prudential Insur-
ance Company, one is impressed with
the solid and substantial advances
which the company has made during
bthe past year. The magnitude Of The
Prudentials operations are shown by
the fact that over two hundred and
seventy-two millions Of new life insur-
ance was written and paid for during
1902, increasing the amount of paid
for insurance in force to over eight
hundred million dollars. Every means
has been taken to make progress along
the most substantial lines, and back Of
all it's contracts there stands sixty mil
lion dollars Of assets with surplus ex-
ceeding nine millions The total in
come of the company during the year
was over thirty three million dollars.
The value of this institution to the pub
lie is indicated by the fact that over
nine million dollars were paid to poll
cy-holders during the year. This
makes a total Of nearly sixty eight mil
lion dollars paid to policyholders since
the organization Of the company tWen-
ty-seven years ago.
The company reports that the years
business was conducted with a marked
reduction In expense rate and increased
amount Of dividends to policy-holders,
particularly in the ordinary depart
ment. Altogether the annual exhibit
of The Prudential is one of which its
| officers and policy holders may we'll be
proud, and which will undoubtedly re-
suit in increasing the high confidence
and esteem in which this great conlpa-
NY is held by the public, who hold near
ly five million of it's policies.

scoop" will the writer claim a medal for
the discovery. Yet, in way, it is a discovery.
Few theatTegoers have given chorus men a sec
ond thought. Matinee girls may have had
passing notice for the pretty" man, who is
only single type in many. but the notice was
strictly passing for their lasting interest is witt
the leading man. None of those in front seem
to have the slightest Idea what manner Of man
the chorus man is. In short, he has been over
looked and neglected.
Just why the chorus man is scorned by the
managers as all in the profession know. is
one Of the mysteries Of stageland. He is all
important in the success of a comic opera, for
he furnishes much of the music A chorus girl
can have a voice like rusty file. yet if she has
a pretty face and shapely body hell do, and in
the front rank at that The chorus man must
sing unless he is a six foot show man, or some
thing of the sort where his value lies in
handsome face and graceful movements.
Ten chorus men do not cause the stage man
ager as much trouble as one good looking chorus
girl who is popular with the brokers. In the
first place the chorus man is prompt for

HOW SCOTS KEEP THE "SAWBATH. -

Senator Francis Hendricks. of Rochester, and
ex-senator Frank Hiscock, Of NeW-York. were

tbe advisabiIity of keeping the fair open on
Sunday. Senator Hendricks said:

should hate though. to see it carried as far as

THE STAGE CHORUS NAN.
4s Important in His Place, bit Not
SO Much on Vie7o as Chorus Girl.

Ever since opera. comic otherwise. came
into a place on the American stage the chorus
girl has been under the Hmelight of publicity.
She has become a national character, the bug
bear of wives whose husbands have rounding"
proclivities the fear of doting mothers during
all the salad days Of their sons and about the
one thing for which freshmen live. The stage
could not get along without her, and from the
very first she has had her share Of notice and
more.
There are chorus as well as chorus girls.
This statement is not set forth as clear cut
New-York tribune., 1903-07-26

for the money there is in it, and little money it
is, too, with salaries running from SO to $50 a
week, according to the voice quality He almost
never comes to the theatre under the influence OF
liquor and he is reasonably free from the petty
jealouses of his sisters in short skirts and
tights
He takes as much care with his makeup
does the most vain chorus girl, giving most at
tention to his eyes and mouth. He is generally
careful of his clothes. though everything he
wears, even to his laundry. comes out of the
theatre wardrobe.
The chorus man is a keen critic. while the
chorus girl is critic at all. Ask girl how
the piece went, and she will say:
Our set never danced better: they really
ought to give us a better place" She is en-,
tirely self-centred.
Ask the chorus man:
Miss Blank in fine voice tonight, and
did you notice how much smoother the leads
business went?" Never a word about his OWN
minor part in the performance.
After the show the chorus man gets a cheap
luncheon and goes home. No bottles and birds
for him. for there is to pay for them.
AS a study the chorus men are every bit rs
interesting as chorus girls. One can classify
them into definite number of types, while
every chorus girl is type by herself.
There is no type more interesting than the
man who plays leads on the road in winter
and fills in the summer in a Broadway chorus
Take the six show men who dance every night
at the Casino with the show girls OF THE
Runaways." Every of them is capable Of
something better, and four of them have played
leading parts in second companies. In some
places they are hailed as stars" and featured
in the newspapers. Every one of them is am
| bilious to become real Broadway leading man,
| and If attention to business counts for anythiu;
they are fairly on the way there.
Talk with them as they are Iounging between
ensemble pieces and it will be "Now, when 1
was playing the lead in the Colonial Girl -
or, 1T was peculiar experience and it came
| when 1 was doing the big business in the
Honeymoon out West''-
1t comes hard for them when they first so
into the chorus. Eye gods have L come To
this" you will hear them mutter as the stage
| manager marches them back and forth across
the stage.
In striking contrast is the pretty" type, WHO
goes into the chorus to attract the girls. He
| hangs around after the rehearsals and always
has some sort Of an affair with a chorus sister
| Once in a while he is able to make a killing"
down in front, and then he is indeed happy. He
! has a good time and after some experience
avoids compromising himself.
Type No may be labelled sporty" He
| plays the races and generally wins on tips
furnished By the show girls He has a
acwn at Sheepshead Bay. perhaps. and goes
there after the show in order to be on hand for
| the first race When he stays in town he does
