COOPERATIVE COAL.

VIII be Discharged at Halstead 81 Har-
mounts Dock-Consolidated Roads
Expenses.
The New Haven Cooperative conn
pany cannot discharge at Canal dock
because the Consolidated Railroad COM
pany, which controls this receiving point.
will have steamers discharging cargoes
at the time the steamers for the Coop
erative company arrive and their car
goes will not be discharged in time for
the speedy handling of the cargoes de-
signed for the Cooperative company,
hence it has been found necessary to
go to the docks of the Halstead & Har-
mount company, where the coal will be
promptly unloaded and distributed.
It Is stated that the Consolidated road
is spending about $4,000 a week more
for coal at present than under normal
conditions. The road has been forced to
buy coal everywhere and as a last re-
sort went abroad for fuel. The COM
pany has paid as high as $40 ton for
coal.
To make matters worse the road has
lost the services Of about 1000 coal cars
which were sent to the Pennsylvania
road some time ago. 1t has been i'm
possible for the New Haven road to get
them back.

AT THE SAVAGE CLUB.

Tn the unavoidable absence of Sir
Edward Clarke, K. c., Alderman Sir
William Treloar presided at the forty
fifth annual dinner of the Savage Club.
The chairman in proposing Our
Guest" regretted very much the abb
sence Of Sir Edward Clarke, and ex-
pressed his fear that this absence was
due to his mixing too much in highly
civilized society. Qlaughter) The toast
he would couple with the name of Sir
Harry Johnston.
Sir Harry Johnston said African saw
agery was fast disappearing under the
influence of not altogether conlpensat-
ing civilization, One of his first
African banquets was in a wild part of
West Africa. He was a very timid
guest, because he had been hauled out
Of his canoe on the Upper Cross River,
and his porters We're imprisoned. 1t
was a feast "in honor of ancestors, -
and he was told that the dinner to some
extent consisted Of the ancestors them
selves. Oaughter) He asked about
the composition of one rather agreeably
favored dish of red paste, and was told
it was Man! 1t was made of triturated
relative which had been previously
poked over a fire Of weeds and had been
mixed with palm-oil, red pepper, and
salt. Having consumed this entremet,
he became a member Of the tribe.
Laugther) His last African banquet
was in very different circumstances. 1t
was little more than a year ago. It was
an assembly Of blacks but the menu
was in French and the feast was
certainly under French influences, os
that in this as in the other matters
Africa was fast losing it's savagery, and
would in time become as tame as much
of this life seemed to him. But they
(the cIub) were developing a little mild
savagery, for they were trying to bring
to bear little more of the real into
our artificial life and perhaps in that
aspect of savagery they were doing a
very wholesome work.-London Chron-
icle,

WALKER TO REMAIN.
Light Guard lieutenant Said to Have
Withdrawn Rnsipn q ton

Light Guard Lieutenant Said to Have
Withdrawn Resignation.
The resignation which was rendered
TO his superior. Captain George E. Hall,
by Lieutenant Robert F. Walker of the
Light Guard, has been Withdrawn. He
was given permission to do so after a
consultation with Captain Hall and Col
onel Theodore SUcher, and as a result
Of his later decision he went to Hart
ford Wednesday and took the military
examina ton for a first lieutenant
Walkers resignation was said to have
been caused by the fact that as ne is
member Of the Car Workers union
he did not believe it proper for him to
remain In the militia, which he said is
maintained for the protection Of prop
erty in which the ordinary laboring man
has no interest.
The resignation was submitted first to
Captain Hall in the usual manner and
later to Coolnel Sucher.
1t has been learned that upon the adj
vice of his superior officers Walker has
withdrawn his resignation and is still
a member Of the militia in good stand
ing.
1t is the general understanding now
among the Light Guard that Lieutenant
Walker will remain in the service, and
last night he acted in his official capaci-
ty as usual.

A BIG SUCCESS.
The Show Girl at the Hyperion Last
Night

The Show Girl at the Hyperion Last
Night
The latest Rice extravaganza. 1.-THE
Show Girl" held forth at the Hyperion
last evening and its enthusiastic recep-
ton only goes to prove the success Of
all the Rice productions. 1t is a shift
ing panorama of girls, gorgeous seem
cry and catchy musical effects
1t has had an extended run at Wal
lacks in New York where its success
was unbounded. There was a much
more pretentious showing than the vet
eran producer has attempted in late
years, particularly in the direction of
scenic display and dress.
Miss Margaret Knights portrayal of
the title role was artistic to a degree.
Her voice and stage presence are most
excellent.
Interspersed through the action Of
the piece are songs and fetching spe-
cialties. Perhaps the most unique was
the animal representation by David
Abrahams. His capers in the role of q
frOlicsome fence cat are intensely fun
NJ.
John Ford's dancing speciality was
very we'll received.
The comedian of the piece Frank
Laylor, kept his audience in a continual
roar of laughter. All he had to do was
to look at them. His facial expression
is intensely comical. His scene with
Robert Daley. a burlesque, was most
enthusiastically received.
The musical favorites last night were
'That's the Way of a Sailor,
Psyche" Champagne and Terrapin, "
"Katrinka," The Lily and the Dew
Susan Anna" and Waltz Me Down
the Alley Sally"
David Lythgal, who sings several
| songs. has a very good baritone voice
which he uses with great effect. His
song, ''The Lily and the Rose scored
heaviest.
"rhe Show Girl" is musical comedy
that is distinctly a success from the
first line to the fall of the curtain.
t It is a medley of pretty music, fetch
! ing costumes. gorgeous scenery, funny
comedians who are funny, and hand
some girls.
The music was written by II. L.
Hearth and E. w. Corliss.
The piece thoroughly justifies the
long and successful run 1t had in New
York. 1t will be repeated this evening.

a thoroughly intoxicated condition.
The firemen rescued him, although, IL
the fire had not been discovered when
it was he might have been burned to
death.
The origin Of the fire could not be
learned last evening. An Italian fam
lily living on the second floor sustained
quite a loss through both fire and wa

| ing as being between $500 and $500. 1t
is thought to be covered by insurance
