Fine Entertainment at the Foy Audito-
 rum To-Night.


 rum To-Night.
 Indications point to a large attend- ance at the Foy auditorium this even- ing when Roscoe Reeves, the eminent dramatic reciter, will present Charles Dickens Christmas Carol"
 It is thought by many that the 'Car- ol'' is the best reading of MT. Reeves repertoire as it gives ample opportuni- ty for the clever Representations of which he is past master and is a story particularly well adapted to public pre- sentation. The reading will be pre- snted in five chapters, interspersed with musical selections. and a most enjoy- able evening is assured.
 The object of the entertainment is to raise funds for the Y. M. c. A. health farm in Denver. Col. where the na- ional association is erecting a sanatori- um for the open air treatment Of con- sumptives.

EXAMINATION COMEPIL LErED.
NC FURTHER SHORTAGES IN MR. BUSHNELL,S ACCOUNTS.
Total amount Now wiiI Do Less Than SIS, ,o0a- a-some Traces of Speculation Meeting of Banks Directors VIII bs Held To-day. 2" @...

No additional shortage was disclosed in Cashier Bushnell s accounts yesterday and the total thus far known is a few hundred dollars more than $17,000. Gen. eral E. S. Greeley, the president of the bank, said that it would be impossible to tell definitely until to-day whether there is still greater shortage, as the balances from correspondents in New York and Boston were not mailed un- til last night, but he felt confident that the full extent of the dedication has already been learned. The bank off, cials are said to have found clue which makes it practically certain that they shall soon know just how MT. Bushnell speculated, and to what ex- tent. There was no previous knowledge that he had been speculating.
 The examination of the banks &C., counts by United States Examiner Bar rows was completed yesterday after noon. Of the amount, however, only about $4000 has been traced to stock speculation. It is further understood that the cashiers misappropriation of bank funds dates back only three months, as his accounts are correct up to September A. when the bank was ex- amined by the directors.
 The late cashiers ability to use the banks money without being sooner detected was due to the unlimited con- fidence imposed in him, as the method he employed will show Practically all Of the stolen money was taken from Z the reserve fund, which national banks are obliged to have on hand in gold and legal tender. This fund is kept in the safe, the currency being bound together in large bundles containing thousands of dollars and labelled as { to their amounts. When these bundles were examined it was found that the outside bills were of the usual large denominations, but that small bills had been substituted for the large ones on the inside, so the packages, while of the proper bulk, were from $5,000 to $4,- 900, short. .s
 No shortages have been discovered in the funds of the various organiza- tions of which MT. Bushnell was treas urer. He carried few thousand dol lars life insurance for the benefit of his family.
 The regular weekly meeting of the directors will be held this morning. Af- ter to-day's meeting a formal statement will be issued.

WEST HAVEN POULTRY SHOW.
Opened Yesterday and Will Undoubted-

Opened Yesterday and Will Undoubted- ly Prove Great Success.
 The opening of the annual exhibition of the West Haven Poultry, Pigeon and
 Pet Stock association took place yester-
 day and as was expected the crowd was a large one. Never before has such a fine exhibition of poultry and other live stock been seen under one
 roof in this vicinity, and the managers
 of the show are to be congratulated in their efforts to make it what it is. The big town hall is filled with the finest breed of fowls of all kinds, rab- bits and other farmyard inhabitants. The show will last three days, the
 closing hour on each being 10 o'clock
 at night. A wholesome lunch will be served each day by the ladies of the 1 Methodist Episcopal church.
 The association offers large number of rich and valuable regular and spe-
 cial premiums than ever before. The
 regular premiums are cash in every in- stance, and will be distributed the last
 day of the show. There are more than score of richly engraved silver loving
 cups, impartially distributed among the several classes. For the largest and
 best exhibit in the Gallinaceous diyi- sion by any one persons or firm the as-
 sociation offers one silver tea set of the
 value of $25. For the second largest
 and best exhibit, a silver cup valued at
 $1O. Besides the above the association offers for the largest and best exhibit , in each of the thirteen leading classes a silver cup valued at $5. @s~ Gold and silver coin amounting to hundreds of dollars is also placed upon winners. Beautifully embossed silk
 ribbons, by some more highly prized than the silver, are offered by the
 dozen. The National White Wyandotte club and the Partridge Wyandotte club of America offer grand club specials
 for birds of which the several clubs are opponents.
 The show was largely attended last
 night and it is expected that there will
 be a large attendance to-day and to- morrow.

Superstition About Cats.

In the Monferrato it is believed that
all the cats who wander about upon
the roofs during the month Of Febru-
ary are really witches. whom 1t is law
full and even necessary to shoot. A
German superstition has it that il a
black cat sits upon the bed Of sick
man it is a presage Of his death. while
II after his decease 1t is seer upon his
grave it is enough to arouse doubts as
to the locality to which bis soul has
departed. In Hungary 1t is thought
that cats generally become witches be-
tween the ages of seven and twelve
years. A French belief concerning the
cat is that If the animal be carried in
a cart and the wind blow from it to
the horses they Immediately fall tired.
If any part Of the horseman's clothing
be made of cats skin, the horse will
feel as though it carried a double bur
den. In other countries, however, su-
perstition is favorable rather than ad-
verse to the cat. A variant of the IA
nous story of the Kilkenny cats is
found in Piedmont. the cats being,
however, replaced by wolves.
