Jacques

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES. There is no end of fun and laugnter in the hea~--ne act offered at the Jacques this week by Louis Simon, EGrace Gardner and company under the title of "The New Coachman," and one doesn't get single minutes respite from laughing during it's presentation. IA novelty on the bill that has been at ltracting widespread attention and com
 ment is offered by Herbert Brooks and
 it is one that has completely puzzled everyone who has seen it. Mir Brooks is imprisoned in a solid mahogany
 trunk in full view of the audience enl
 this trunk is then covered with canvas
 which is laced and tied tight by com mittee chosen promiscuously from the audience. So far as anyone can see, iat is impossible for the trunk as tied to open either inwardly or outWardly. Still it is then rolled inside a curta1ned
 cabinet and in just sixty seconds MT
 Brooks appears on the stage, while the trunk is apparently as securely covered and tied up as before. It is most 1n- terestin~ novelty and so far at least has completely baftied all attempts at eX- splanation on the part of persons who have seen 1t. The rest of the bill Is a lnleasing one and is contributed by EGeorge O. Davis, J. 0. Nugent and MISS Jessie Charron, Miss Brook Eltyeam, Sthe three Sisters Defaye. Barr and Ben- ton and the electrograph. Prices are no, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and E20 cents, ladies 10.

WHY WOMEN SIN. ;

Will c. Murphys society melodrama bearing the above alluring title is being played before large audience at Polls this afternoon and will be presented again this evening. The play is tale of New York; it is a story of love and hate, of scheming and intrigue i'll the so-called smart set.' It tells of the efforts of a good woman to master a passion for a man of the world. There Is not an immoral or suggestive line 1n it. and the whole leaves a. moral im- pression on the mind. All the charac- ters are natural. Their feelings and passions are human; they live, and pulsate with life, and the thrilling situ- ations and sensational climaxes with which the play abounds grows natural ly from the play of passion of the diff ferent men and women who walk through this life picture. Prices are %, 35, 50 and 75 cents.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
De Forest Will be the Temporary
 Chairman of Convention.

The democratic state central com ntttee has announced that ex7 Congress- man Robert s. DeForest will be the temporary chairman of the convention at Hartford next month despite the fact that he is not 8 elegate. If the choice of the committee is sustained, Judge Dehorest will have a commanding place in getting the convention in working order.
 The democratic state central commits tee bases its right to name the tenn porary chairman on the following rule in the democratic handbook:
 ''The convention shall be called to order by the chairman of the state cen- tral committee at 10 a. m. and the tenn porary officers of the convention shall be designated by the state central com mittee.''
 Under this rule it is held that Judge DeForest has been legally chosen ana that Cairman Walsh can refuse to en- certain any motion in which the choice is involved. On the other hand, it is held that any delegate to the conven- ton may appeal from the ruling. 4 such an appeal is taken the relative strength of the Parker and Hearst men will be disclosed early in the pro- ceedings.
 Chairman John J. Walsh of the dem- ocratic state central committee, in an interview at Norwalk on Tuesday, said:
 Ut will be a Parker convention al most two. to one I do not say that the delegates will be instructed. but I mean that their preferences will be for Parker. lA ais Bridgeport matter was rather expected, for we have known for a long time that the Hearst agents have been busily at work there. My only fear is that it will hurt in lne future some good democrats who ap- parently did not care to oppose the movement Tn spite of the apparent triumph of the Hearst forces in Bridge port. however, Judge DeForest has several offers of a proxy to attend the convention, and should he decide to accept any one of these there is no question but what he will be the tenn porary chairman, as was arranged. The matter rests entirely in Judge De- Forests own hands"
 An interesting feature of the coming convention, besides the question of who shall be it's temporary chairman, will be the pursuit of Homer $. Cummings of Stamford by Alexander Troup of New Haven MT Cummings wants to be the member from Connecticut on the democratic national committee and .,4r Troup is bound he shan't be. Troup is a hard fighter and he has been after Cummings for a long time and will leave no stone unturned to accomplish his uefeat.
