VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES

Excellent satisfaction, indeed, was given by the show that had it's first per- formances at the Jacques yesterday, and this coming week ought to see a repetition of the large audiences of last week. The leading act, which is an Irish playlet entitled 'sThe Old Neighborhood," offered by Callahan and Mack. has touching story that goes straight to the hearts of an audi ence. To persons who have grown up in the old land it is particularly ,attrac- tive because of the tender associations it recalls, but to all who remember the scenes of their youth in any land it has an interest that appeals Mir Mack is a splendid player on the Irish bagpipes. and both players are capa- ble of blending the exquisite comedy with the touches of nature that are strewn through the playlet. The play let and the playing are a refreshing change from the Irish transformations that we have become accustomed to on the vaudeville stage. The Faust Trio made a good impression with s'The Haunted Nfi1l,'' in which there is some excellent comedy blended with fine acrobatic work, and MT and Mrs Charles Buckley with Richard A. Wild rGssived much favor for their comedi- etta "A Busy Manager More than ordinary favor was extended the elec- trograph for it's beautiful description in colors of the life of Napoleon. The pictures are wonderfully vivid and comprehensive. and the co1ors lend at traction to the effect. Other capital acts are offered by the Fetching broth CTS. Al Lawrence, Robbins and Irene man and the Major sisters. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

YALE MEN AsMONEY MAKERS

Eight Act as PalIbearers, Others
 Drive Wagons, Cut Wood, Etc.
 Some interesting and significant statements are shown in the Yale Bu- reau of Self Help, recently issued at New Haven, Conn.,, says the New York Tribune. According to careful can vass, more than $50OOO was earned by the students during the summer for their winter tuition. Of this amount $10,0o2 was earned by thirty-seven sophomores.
 More money was earned by private tutoring than in any other way, but among the queer ways of earning mon- ey was that of acting as pallbearers at funerals by eight men working togeth- CT. Driving milk wagons, soliciting for laundries, painting, wheeling invalid chairs, selling spring water, cutting wood, selling violets at junior prone nades and soliciting for trucking conn panies were other ways of making money to meet expenses af the univer- ssty.

fort would be ready to withstand at. tack and Sanders forlorn defense of the outposts would end. But the engi- neer had privately arranged with San ders to fight on until actually driven from the hill. Between the rail pile and - the Armstrong house there were some cedar trees, and either by misunder- standing of orders or because the fire was too hot for them the Carolinians halted at the cedars and lay down, firing from there their first shots of the charge.
 The ha @,f the Carolinians any one at distance could see was military blunder. Every second of grace was a godsend to Sanders, with his shaky line. One of the spectators of the af- fair was Captain Winthrop, foreign aid on the staff of Colonel Alexander, Longstreet's artillery chief. Winthrop was with the napoleon guns at the Armstrong house. Seeingsthe awkward halt, he rode forward through the pros trate ranks on to the Federal barri- cade. A dozen rife muzzles greeted the daring aid, who had formerly been captain in her majesty's Twenty-third foot regiment. One bullet pierced his collar bone, and he fell across the neck of his charger, who reeled and carried his disabled rider back to the Confed- crate lines.
 Inspired by Winthrop's gallant ride, the Carolinians arose and rushed for the barricade. Sanders, able, soldier that he was knew the hour had come He walked up and down the line, urg- ing his men to fight. Standing head and shoulders above the barricade, he was a fine target for the Confederates and was shot down just as the enemy, coming on with a yell, poured over the breastwork. It was then half past 2 o'clock. When word of Sanders heroic death reached the fort he had fought so gallantly to protect in its weakness it was named in his honor, and when next Longstreet's men clashed with the defenders of Knoxville it was in a bloody combat along the walls of Fort Sanders rs

.DENMAN THOMPSON.

Waterbury, like the rest of Ameri- ca, always has welcome for Denman Thompson in 'The Old Homestead" and he will be we'll received when he appears this evening at Polls. The great attraction which. this quaint old idyll of New England life has for audi ences is not difficult to find. It is not in it's plot, for it has none; it is not ill it's love scenes, for there are none, ex- cept in the way of humorous sugges- ton; it is not in the villainy that is ex- posed and punished, for there is no villainy in the play worth mentioning; but it is without doubt in that uncon- ventional domestic country life in which the most conventional and arti- fcia1 delight. There are no surprises in the play; it tells over and over again the things which everybody knows, and yet the public never tires of the story. The series of scenes and incl dents of which the play is composed are so familiar as to call for little de-
 scription. Developed from little sketch originally. it has grown into 8 production of large proportions. What has been added to it. however is only a matter of detail changed but slightly from year to year. In all of its essen tials it is the same homely one-act play designed only for class of pa- irons that it was supposed could ap- preciate nothing higher. but it has drawn to its support people of all classes of all sections of the country 'sThe Old Homestead' is appreciated to the same extent on the Pacific coast as it is on it's native heath. Interest, of course, centers around MT Thomp- son, the author-actor, who plays with the homely rugged. vigorous natural ness that has so completely associated him with his bucolic hero as to cause him to be familiarly known as Uncle Josh. The Cy Prime of Mir Garter. the ED Ganzy of MT Knapp, the Seth Per kins of Charles Clarke and the Aunt Matilda of Mrs Morse are excellent types of New England life, and brim- ful of humor. The scenic effects are promised to be complete in detail and the famous double quartet will be heard in the old favorites and some new and effective numbers. Prices are 25, 50, 75 cents and ST.

EDWARD vn.'s LATEST FAD.
Training Canaries to Sing by Means
 of ssBird Organs"


 of ssRird Organs"
 King Edwards newest hobby is training canary birds to sing. He has had fitted up in Windsor castle large aviary, to which hundreds of English canarfes have been sent in the last two months, says the Chicago Tribune. Here bird trainers from Germany are busy improving the voice. of the Eng fish canary by means of ''hird organs and the suggestion found in hearing the better voiced German canary sing. The birds pass through a regular course of singing lessons and take from three to six months to finish"
 The common method of training is to place the canaFies in small cages, each one separated from the next, around the walls of square room. Tn the center of the room will be placed a "bird organ" an instrument some thing like a large musical box, on which the "roll'' Is played by man who sits and turns the handle. Grad ually the birds begin to copy the notes until at last they are perfect. Another form of "bird organ" is worked by water running through a series of small pipes, and in cases where this is used the note acquired is called the water bubble note,' as opposed to the nightingale note"
 ! better arrangement is to replace The organ with one of the exceptionally fine singing eanaries, who sings gayly in his cage and raises such a wave of snyy in the breasts of his hearers that sAey quickly strive to outdo him. The note of the Harz mountain rollers is quite distinctive and unlike that of any other variety, and this bird is being used by King Edward to train his English canaries.

A Deluge of Proposals.

500 proposals Of marriage are at tn,

tired OF it that she is begging the
postal authorities to stop the flow o
letters.
A couple OF weeks ago letter was

city, signed with Mrs. Houghton's
name, and proposed marriage to
any good man who wanted a fine,
buxom widow and a big farm. The
letter was published multiplication
poured in.
Postmaster Hahn has now received
a letter from Hougton, saying she
did not write the letter, and that
over 500 applications have been re.
ceived. She is tired Of getting them,
she says. She has no farm, but a
large family which she is working
hard to maintain, and she does not
want to be bothered with them. She
asks Postmaster Hahn to call them
off.

progress toward the reign OF peace
and good will promised and pro-
claimed by the greatest of all teach
ers.
One OF the most hopeful signs Of
the times is the acceptance in theory
of the doctrine of peace. Whatever
they may be driven to by stress OF
circumstances, governments and ruiz
ers in these days are disposed to
shun rather than to court warfare.
In no civilized country to-day is the
public looking for a conquering lead.
er who has the genius to bring the
whole world to his feet. The leader,
or the statesman, who commands
admiration, il he who can contribute
to the prosperity and enlightenment
Of his people by the arts and triumphs
OF peace. War calls for explanation
and apology. 1t must show cause
why 1t should not be condemned at
the bar OF public opinion. Much as
we may admire an Alexander or O
Caesar or Napoleon as a historical
figure, we would, at close range, con-
slider him an intolerable nuisance
who must be suppressed at any cost.
This change in the worlds attitude
is hopeful, il it is not always effective
in preventing sanguinary conflicts.
Whatever is the fruit OF human ac-
ton must first take root in the minds
and there develop into the purposes
OF individuals and OF nations. For
this reason the theoretical accept
ance of the doctrine OF peace is step
toward the practical realization Of
the ideal. Another definite step is
the fact that wars are not undertake
en- nowadays from the lust of con-
quest and OF territory. Modern
wars are provoked by some real or
alleged breach OF faith, or menace,
and territorial acquisition is an incl
dent rather than an inspiration. No
nation, however it may desire to
preserve the peace, can refrain from
the horrors OF war when that is the
only way that is open to the asser-
ton of its rights.

Peace and Good Will.
From the Toronto Mail and Empire,

From the Toronto Mail and Empire.
Never since the message of peace
and goodwill was proclaimed has
the theory OF it been more generally
accepted in the minds OF men and OF
nations than at the present time.
Yet we are seemingly still very far
from this universal adherence to the
great truth in practice. Nations are
still aiming to kill and destroy.
Armies and navies are being perfect
ed, which, il let loose at each other,
could soon deluge the earth with
blood and made it wilderness.
Wars are still levied and men go forth
to battle and to death. The sword
and the spear have not been beaten
into plow-shares and pruning hooks,
but have taken the more deadly
shape OF Mausers and pom-pome. In
spite of these facts, however, the
world has made steady and hopeful

FOrmaline.
New York, Jan. 16.-At the last
meeting OF the New York Obstetrical
society, Dr.. Charles G. Barrows, OF
this city, submitted report of an
experiment with iormaline, known a.
the strongest OF antiseptics. chad
made the investigation in Bellevue
hospital on a patient, who, aiterg CIV
ing birth to a child had tempera.
ture OF los degrees and a pulse OF
100.
When the patient was admitted,
she was suffering from sepsis or blood
poisoning. A blood culture was TAX
en-, and it was found to be full OF
septicaemia, known to the medical
profession as streptococci. After the
injection OF formaline the patient re-
covered rapidly.
The belief at the start was that the
patient was dying and most radical
measures were used to save life.
Formaline was injected into the left
arm. The effect seemed, according
to DR.. Barrow's report, to be almost
instantaneous. A second injection
was given her and her pulse aud tenn
perature fell to normal The patient
is recovering now. Experiments are
being made on animals and further
important results are expected. The
injection OF formaline into the veins
had never been heard of until DR..
Barrows read his paper.
