one MORE THEATRE is OPENED
my WIFE'S HTSRA NDS" PLAYED
AT THE MADISON SQUARE.
Mr. and Mrs ROyle In Farce Of which He
II the Author A Complicated TansIe
Of One Woman with Many Husbands
Mrs. Roylc's Part the Nest Important.

The farce MY Wife's Husbands" which
was produced for the first time last evening
at the Madison Square Theatre, was really
family affair. Edwin Milton Royle wrote
the piece, he and his wife played the prin-
cipal roles in it, and the unhappy matri-
monial experiences of Gnendoiin Winston,
the character impersonated by Mrs, Royle,
formed the foundation of the farce.
Skating over the thin ice of unfortunate
experiments in the line OF husbands, al d
dealing with matters which might easily
have been turned into offensive situations,
the play and players were so managed that
throughout the three acts there was moth
ing that could be called by more serious
name than irivolity.
Mrs. Royle, as the divorcee, avoided
everything that might have been miscon-
strued. There was not a double entendre
in the book, and the worst that even a
strict ChuI Gilman could say OF the plot
and its elaboration was that the marriages
of the heroine were treated as civil con-
tracts and not as sacranents,

in Florida, after divorcing three husbands,

In the meantime, her former husbands,

Bobbins, No. O.; and William Drinkpater,
| No. 8, appeared on the ground to compii-

the aid of her maid, Maggie Jennie Sat

STRIKE TO CONTINUE.

Journeymen Bakers Reject Masters
 Proposition Yesterday.
 That the bakers strike will not be speedily settled now seems a certainty. Yesterday morning the master bakers met in the office of s. S. Thompson on York street. After a. half hours dis cussion it was voted to again renew the arbitration request made to the strikers last Friday, and the following was pass ed:
 Resolved, That the conference com mittee os the Master Bakers associa- tion wait upon Bakers union No. Il and renew request made to them last Fri day, May 15, for the appointment Of a board Of arbitration upon the differ ences between the parties in interest"
 This communication was sent to the journeymen in session in Aurora hall
 The Bakers union took the matter under consideration at their meeting and finally decided to submit to the masters their revised agreement, with no changes. This is the reply to the masters proposition and was submitted to them in the afternoon.
 It is not thought now that a speedy settlement will be effected.

THE coNsoLIDATED's CHANGES.
Centralizing Freight Management
 provements to End.

Centralizing Freight Management-1m
 provements to End.
 A high officer of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad compa- ny, referring to the recent changes of officers and divisions of the system, says in effect that they aim (D at con- oentration of authority and responsibil- ity, and CD more specifically at the re- organization of the freight department by which freight will be more rapidly handled. The company is now loading about 5000 local freight cars day, and, with five or six days on an average re- quired for transit and unloading, the supply of cars owned by the company is entirely inadequate. This compels utmost promptitude in the freight movement, and reorganization of the service and quicker reports had become imperative.
 In consequence of the higher fixed charges and increased dividend require ments the improvements of the system in Connecticut and Rhode Island will probably end after the Bridgeport four tracking is finished next autumn, the single exception being the double tracking of the Naugatuck division to Waterbury, for which the directors have authorized $2,000,000 divisional bonds, of which about S200,000 have been placed. An increase of freight rates at non- competitive points on the system is also practically certain.

Directors say that the road should not have the slightest difficulty in earning it's per cent. dividends in normal years. notwithstanding the fact that the conversion of $l6,397, 200 of debenture bonds into stock calls for a division of about $900,000 additional per annum Gan increase of about $655,- 900 in dividends and $224,c00 in taxes). A year ago the June 90 quarter showed a surplus above dividend requirements of about s40O,0O0 If the New Haven in the present quarter makes the same proportion of gain in gross earnings as it. did for the March quarter, 1t should be able to increase its net earnings s50O,OOO which would leave for the year a deficit of between $200,0 and $300,- 900. < 4

 . The New Haven State league team went down in defeat on the Savin Rock grounds yesterday afternoon, the Bridgeport team trouncing the Blues to the tune of 4 to 0. New Haven simply could not hit Corcoran's curves, while Bridgeport connected with Perkins twisters at will. The visitors lined out three two-baggers and one triple enough to win the game The umpir- ing of Fricken was miserable at times and caused a vast amount of trouble.
 For New Haven, Hayward was the leader at the bat, scoring two hits. He also put up an excellent fielding game. Jope and Ahearn were in fine fettle.
 During the game a delegation from the New Haven Order of Eagles march ed on the field and presented Pitcher Corcoran with handsome Eagles pin.

Pays Big Money for Improvements
 Its Per Cent. Dividend.
 A Boston dispatch says: Reports hat the New Haven railroad may re- d2ce it's dividend from an 8 per cent. to per cent. basis are declared by high authority to be without founda- tion.
 It is possible that New Haven may not show its full per cent. earned for the 1903 fiscal year, but the fact should not be lost sight of that New Haven has been expending out of earnings on an average for the past three years nearly $300O,000 per annum upon per- manent betterments, and under these conditions it would not be very difficult to make up the full 8 per cent. upon its stock if it was considered advisable.
 The, company is now in the midst of it's Bridgeport improvements, which will cost $5,0OO,0OO or s6,00O,0OO, and it has made liberal charges to operating expenses this year for this work, not withstanding the increase in fuel charges for the first nine months of its f1escal year of $1,40O,000.
