TALES OF ACTORS
AND PLAYS HEARD
ON THE RIALTO

%HE curiosity in dramatic and
literary circles as to the authorship
- of the English version of Paul
Heyses powerful play, MARY Of
Magdala," in which Mrs. Fiske won
the greatest success of her career last
season, in which she is now ap-
pearing again at the Manhattan Theater
New York, and in which she will be seen
during her long tour of the country soon
TO be entered upon, was satisfied on Mrs
Fiskes temperance in the play at the
Manhattan. The programme of the thea
ter for the first time disclosed the secret,
and announced as the author Mr. Will
liam Winter the dean of New York
critics and known for his literary works
wherever the English language is spoken.
The turning of the prose of Paul Heyse
into the beautiful, poetic and sonorous
verse that marks the English form of
MARY of Magdala" was an achievement
and the interest that has been expressed
on all sides as to the identity Of the
scholar and poet who did 1t was natural
The announcement of Mr.. Winters name
as the author has caused considerable
surprise, for although in the conjecture
as to who the adapter might be the
names of many well known men of let
ters were mentioned, his had not been
suggested in this connection. Not more
than halr dozen persons aside from Mr.
and Mrs. F'iske were in the secret the
keeping of which for so long a period has
been contrary to usage in such matters
Then arrangements were made bv Mr.
Fiske for the publication of Mary of
Magdala'' in book form Mr.. Winter
was persuaded to permit the use of his
name on the title page. The praise that
the lofty and scholarly verse of Mary Of
Magdala" has received as an anonymous
xua a
plays right to rank among English mas
terpieces. Mr.. Winters work in it even
adds to his reputation as the author of
"Shakepeare's England" Wanderers"

A SUDDEN DEATH.

Letter Carrier Eugene Austin Dies
 While Talking to His Wife.
 Hartford, Feb 17.-Eugene Gurley Austin, one of the oldest of the Hart ford letter carriers, died suddenly about 10 o'clock last night at his home, No 50 Putnam street, while conversing with his wife. MT Austin had been working as usual during the day and had returned home to supper apparent Iy in good health. After having eaten he sat down and read for short time, after which he told his wife that he thought he would go to bed, as the snow had made the walking pretty bad during the day and he felt quite tired. Mrs Austin followed him shortly and they lay in bed talking when suddenly he began to gasp and take short breaths. He became quiet soon and his wife, seeing that he was uncon- scious, ran for Dr James W. Ward. The doctor on arrival found MT Austin dead. He sent for Medical, Examiner Fuller, who got to the house at 10:30 o'clock. Dr Fuller found upon exam ination that death resulted from fatty degeneration of the heart.
 MT Austin was 61 years old and had lived in this city large part of his life. For the past twenty years he had beeen letter carrier.

BOARD OF CHARITIES.
Met and Talked About Making Brook
 side Home Self Supporting.


 side Home Self Supporting.
 At the meeting of the board of char ities yesterday afternoon there was lengthy discussion in regard to the question whether or not the Brookside home can be made self-supporting. Commissioner k. J. Finn thought that it was about time that this question should be attended to. Superintend- ent Doran, however, is of the opinion that it cannot be made self-supporting and advances various reasons in SUD- port of his stand. There are 12O acres of land at the Brookside home. about 90 per cent of which is under cultiva- tion. Superintendent Doran stated the quantities of produce raised on the city farm during the last. year, and also the list of supplies which had been purchased by the department Many of the inmates are not able-bod- jed and are not capable of performing manual labor. Many of them, both men and women. are old and afflicted with various ailments. To make the institution self-supporting it would be necessary to secure several hundred more acres of land and have largely increa sed force of work men in the field. The superintenden stated in answer to question from the mayor, if it would not be cheaper to discontinue farming, to dispose of the live stock and purchase all Ihe supplies through the department of charities, that it would not be cheaper nor better, but would encourage more people to seek admission to the Brookside home be- cause they would not be obliged to till the soil or perform much manual la bor.
 Although Clerk McMahon submitted an outline of the annual report of Su- perintendent Doran for the year end ing December 31. the full report will not be ready until the next meeting of the board. Superintendent Doran had many words of praise for the new system in vogue in the charities department and said that it was a great Improvement over that of the se- lectmen. The old system has been cast aside entirely and the new system i is working admirably The next meeting win be held on Monday, l March 2.

 Superintendent Davidson of the. Hartford division says that a general order has been issued by the company prohibiting card playing of any kind on the ears on Sunday, and that the con ductors had been instructed to enforce this regulation. It is understood that some complaints have been made by passengers on the New Haven and oth- CT divisions, and the order is made general, applying to all divisions of the road.
 The Consolidated road directors, at their monthly meeting, last Saturday, declared the usual quarterly dividend of ? per cent, payable March 31. This action was a month earlier than usual, owing to the late date of the March meeting.

NOTRE DAME ALUMNAE.
Held Reunion and Entertained
 Friends at St Patrick's Hall.


 Friends at St Patrick's Hall
 Many brilliant social events have been held by the Alumnae association of the Convent de Notre Dame, but all were eclipsed by the assembly which was given in St Pat11ck's hall last night under the auspices of the associ- ation. Wherever the eye rested it was greeted with a pretty sight. The hall was attractively decorated, Yale blue and white, the alumnae colors, predominating. Behind bank of palms, upon the stage, sweet music was played by Faulmann's orchestra At either end of the hall were nicely arranged tables where refreshments were served. Mrs Thorpe catered, the refreshments being served on small ta- bles. The serving table was neatly decorated in blue and white, the center piece being large bouquet of white tulips with standard of blue and white cande1abra with white shades. Sm1lax was also in evidence The pretty appearance of this table was due to the taste of Miss Susan c. OYNeiH. On the lower floor. there was the gents smoking room which was an attractive spot during the even ing. The halls and corridors were tastefully decorated with flags and bunting. On either side Of the danc- ing hall were rows of tables where those who did not wish to dance could amuse themselves, If they so desired, by playing cards.
 1t is seldom that such a notable gathering is held here It was the first assembly which had been given by the Alumnae association of the Con- l vent de Notre Dame. and consequently there was a large attendance of the | members. It was a sort of reunion. Many of the older members of the as- sociation and their friends were pres ent and added to the success of the event.
 l As the guests arrived In the hall they were escorted to the front of the hall. where they had the pleasure of meeting the members of the receiving party, who were as follows: Mrs c. IA. Jackson, the president of the asso- ciation; Mrs John F. Hayes, Mrs John NJ. Sweeney of Naugatuck, Mrs James B. Russell, Miss Marie Heringer and Miss Katherine Bohan.
 About 10 o'clock the dancing was commenced. 1t consisted of twenty I dances, music being furnished by Faul- n1ann's orchestra. So pleasing was the affair that few persons left the hall 1 before the last dance.
 l Among the out of town guests were l Attorney and Mrs Sweeney, Dr and Mrs Delaney and Mss Mccarthy of 1 Naugatuck; Joseph Hartigan and Miss I O'Rourke of Bridgeport; Architect Jo- seph A. Jackson of New York; James Gleeson of Ldtchfield; Dr Barry of Bridgeport, and Mrs Maitland Davies, secretary of the Mt St Vincent alum nae of New York city.
 Many were the compliments which the members of the general committee received for the able manner in which they made all arrangements. The committee consisted of the following

PRESIDENT ELIOT EXPLAINS.
He Amplifies His Views on the Statis-
 ties of Alumnis Families.

tics of Alumni's Families.
 Cambridge, Mass, Feb 1T. President Eliot of Harvard has further explained his remarks as to the tendency of Har- yard men to remain single or when married to rear few children. He said that the statistics he had col lected on the subject were confined solely to the members of the six grad uating classes of Harvard from the years 1872 to 1877. and that the results obtained did not in any way indicate the actual condition among the Ameri- can people as a whole
 sIn my last annual report, Presi- dent Eliot said, q pointed out that 2S per cent of the members of the six classes that investigated are unnlar- ried and those who are married have on the average only two surviving chil- dren, so that the married pairs just re- produce themselves on the average The table suggests, to be sure. that the highly educated part of the American people does not increase the popula tion at all, but on the contrary falls to reproduce itself, but in no way did | intend to state that my figures proved this fact conclusively. It showed what was true of the six graduating classes, but did not go beyond that linn it and include the educated American Glasses as a whole.
 s'But I did want to urge that other colleges and universities publish class reports analogous to the Harvard re- ports. in order that a competent sta tistician might establish from the as sembled reports some very interesting and valuable conclussSus. l went on to show that the regrettable result in dicated in my table was due to the late postponement of marriage on the part of educated young men. which is all most unavoidable under the protracted education which is now prescribed for men who enter the learned and scien- tific professions.

The recent addition of new type, borders and stands, makes the SUN office one of the best in the terri tory. That the work of the SUN prin- ters is appreciated by the business men of Flagstaff, is evidenced by the fact that the job department has since the first of the year been crowded with work.

vEcETARIAN1sM IN ENGLAND.
Anti-Meat Eaters becoming Numsr-
Ous IN That Country-stead
Lends His Sympathy.

W. T. Stead, editor of the Review Of
Reviews, has extended his liberal SYM
patty to yet another sect. The vegeta-
rians are the object of his latest inter-
est. Mr.. Stead, although himself not
yet converted to a vegetarian. diet,
heartily approves Of vegetarianism.
That is why he has given his country
place at Wimbledon, heal London, for
a vegetarian garden party. Mrs. W. T.
Stead is also a sympathizer and will,
with MI. Stead, receive the several hun
dred guests expected. V~egetarians from
all over London and its vicinity win be
present In addition to the garden party
proper there will be an exhibition and
sale Of vegetable foods and wearing ap-
parel, featheEless hats and leatherless
boots. The vegetarian society looks for
ward to a day when Mr.. Stead will be-
come a convert to their system.
Mrs. Ormiston Chant, the undenom-
national preacher who lectures fire.
openly in America, says that the health
of nations would be materially improved
II men and women would make a habit
Of retiring into rest cures once in so
often. She believes particularly in the
benefits OF vegetarian cures. Another
sign Of progress among English anti
meat eaters is the widespread approval
Of the men and women that have en-
tered in various athletic sports. G. A.
Obey, the vegetarian bicyclist, has had
so many triumphs this spring that he
has been selected to represent English
(~vegetarians and mest-eaters alike) at 8
series Of international races to be held In
Copenhagen soon.

TO RID COAST OF SQUIRRELS.
California Farmers VIII Spread Ale
Feady-Existing Disease Among
Pests by InOcuIatiOn.

The farmers Of Contra Costa county,
California, have hit upon a new plan to
get rid Of the squirrel pest, and through
their representatives In the board Of
supervisors have appealed to the Uni
versity Of California to aid them. Super
visors Stow and Tormey presented the
new scheme, which will receive the back
ing Of the university.
It consists Of the spreading OF a plague
that already exists among the squirrels
by artificial incubation. The farmers
Of Contra Costa county have lately dis
covered that the squirrels have been
dying OF from some new disease which
has attacked them. But the pests have
not been dying fast enough to please the
farmers, who think they have found 3
way to assist the disease.
Some bright mind recently suggested
that the malady might be spread by cap
turing q few Of the diseased animals, ex-
tracing the plague germs, and inoculat-
Ing hundreds OF others. which would IN
turn infect those among which they are
turned loose. The plan seems to be per
fsctly feasible one and may solves the
problem o. the squirrel pest, which has
annoyed farmers for 3 long time n Cal
ifornia.
