AT JACQUES TOMORROW.
Adrian M. Newens, Monologist and
 Professor of Elocution.

Adrian M. Newens, monologist and professor of elocution and oratory of the Ohio State college at Ames, Iowa, will appear at the Jacques Opera house next Sunday afternoon at the mems meeting in a rendering of Elizabeth Stuart Phelps's famous story entitled "A Singular Life.' This monologue by Professor Newens will without doubt make one of the most interesting hours of the entire opera house series of meetings for men. George IL. Nc Mutt, the famous dinner pail man, says of this presentations: There is something more than matchless art in Professor Newens's matchless render ing of "A Singular Life" The secret of the fascination that hushes and holds an audience in the thrall of pure dramatic art, though felt in every tone, every gesture, every play of the feat ures, is deeper than these. Back of the rich, rare humor back of voice and gesture, lies the real secret of the masters art-the man Newens inter- preting "A Singular Life in the terms of his own abundant 1ife.'
 Charles F. Powlinson of New York city writes: Ever since his extra ordinary presentation of "A Singular Life we have been unable to supply the demand by the men upon our circal- lating library for the book the leading characters of which he made alive" The following is very unique testi- moniaI: sI unhesitatingly pronounce him corker-and above all, he is a perfect gentleman and an. ornament on any shelf you put him. I like Newens. It's in him! It even sticks out, but he can't help that"-Fred Emerson Brooks.
 If the men. of Waterbury really be- Hevd how good thing this would be next Sunday they would fill the opera house to over1owing. It is certainly rare opportunity of hearing strong man, man who has some purpose and one who is bound to succeed.

ANNOYED LEGISLATORS.

The ms of the Limited Train on
 Wednesday,
 The Legislative Limitedo train, as it has been called, which leaves Hartford on the Highland division west at 5:1O p. m. had a hard time Wednesday afternoon. Before the train had crossed the city line the whistles of the locomotive began to blow and for half a mile or more 1t gave one long, continued monotonous shriek until the train was brought to a standstill. The whistle valve was packed with rags and the deafening noise was stopped, but the steam es- caped to so great an extent that the locomotive was disabled and another one was put in it's place at Plainville The train was nearly an hour late at Waterbury.
 Many of the passengers left the cars to ascertain the cause of the stop, when the steam blew off. Several Danbury men, Representative Charles A. Hoffman among them, were in the party. The tracks are equipped with the third rail electrical system at the point where the stop was made, and many of the passengers, unaware of their danger, stepped dangerously near to the heavily charged third rail- MT Hoffman's foot struck the rail and he received severe shock. His other foot was not in contact with metal at the time or his injury would likely have been serious. The incident was taken as q warning by the other men on the track and the center rail was carefully avoided.

LICENSE HEARING.
Evidence That Torrington Men Now
 Get Drunk in Litchfield


 Torrington, March 14.-A hearing on the application of Julius Scoville for a liquor license for the Scoyille House in East Litehfield was held before Con- missioners Hall, Pettibone and Guern- sey at the court house in Litchheld yes terday. $. F. Thrasher, secretary or the Law and Order league, and Lawyer E. F. Arvine of New Haven, appeared for the remonstrants, and George M. Woodruff of Lltchfield appeared for the applicant. MT Scoville,' when ques- toned by Secretary Thrasher, admitted that within week after the no license vote in Torrington, he had built a twe1ve-foot extension on his bar 1n order to accommodate the increased business. There were many witnesses from the village who testified that drunkenness of the worst type was an everyday occurrence, that women and children were insulted on the streets of the village and that the road be- tween Litchfield and Torrington had been rendered unsafe for unprotected women.
 Six Torrington people testified that Scoyille's saloon was so near the town line that it didn't make much difference whether there was no license or not. In opposition to this testimony. some of the frequenters of the saloon, resi- dents at East Litchfeld, were called to prove that as far as they knew the sa- loon was well conducted. The argu- ments were summed up by the counsel on each side and the commissioners re- served their decision.

Union Hackmen Refuse to Drive to Flu

 New Haven, March 14-Nelson Melien, a hack driver, living at 847 Grand avenue, thinks that he has been unjustly used by the Fack Drivers union. Melien claims that he tried to join the union, but was refused admis- sion on the ground that he had previ- ously been a member of the Painters union and, therefore, could not become affiliated with the hackmen. It is re lated that MeIien was engaged to drive for a funeral in Bradley street yester- day afternoon. He drove the party by whom he was engaged to the house, but when the hacks were lining up to leave the house to go to the grave, the union hack drivers combined and is sued an ultimatum to the undertaken saying that if Melien drove in the cor tege they would refuse to, so the un- dertaker was forced to dispense with Melien's services.
