THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Joseph B. Cronin Forfeited Bond of SI,5OO--W. H. Camp, Bondsman

The superior court opened this morn Ing at 10 o'clock, expecting to do bus1- hess on the case against Joseph E.. Cronin, charged with embedding from the National Cash Register Go, but Cronin did not show up. His counsel, Attorney Holden of Hartford, was on hand, however, and asked the clemen- cy of the court for an hour, or until the II o'clock train would arrive from Bridgeport. MT Holden expected his client would arrive on that train from New York, knowing that he was in That city last evening and that Cronin was aware he was t0 stand trial thls morning. The request was granted, and at Il o'clock Judge Ralph Wheel er took the bench again. But Cronin did not arrive and his bond, $1,o00, Furnished by Wallace -A. Camp, was forfeited. At the request of Assistant States Attorney Kellogg a bench war rant was then issued for the arrest of Cronin.
 4 There are over half'a dozen counts against Cronin. charging him with em- bezzling some $500 or '$4O0 from t-le National Cash Register Go, of which De was the local agent.
 The company claims, however, that he embezzled some $3, 300, and in the original complaint there were about ROrty counts against him. Attorney fHofden was ready to dispute every point from the outset. He had pre- pared 8 general demurrer in which he Alleged a defective complaint.
 [ There were no other cases ready and tAttorneys Kellogg and Kennedy took pp the cases against David 0. Marsh and Willis Vandemark, charged with perJury In the famous trolley strikers lcases heard before Judge Thayer last bpring. MT Kellogg gave notice that Ehe would ask, at short calendar to- morrow, that the cases be assigned for nearing as soon as possible. MT hen- }1edy replied that he thought he would {be ready to try them about Mar. -2 iMr Kellogg said that he would not try the cases together. as the first cases
 were tried, but separately, because of certain different features which he exA poets to be able to introduce into &hem. .
 MT Kennedy said that he would nrobably file pleadings that may dis pose of the cases without trial. He said it was very singular that men after being discharged by jury should fbe arrested for another case in which fhe evidence must be the same as that which was given in the case in which they were found not guilty. Judge Wheeler did not care to hear the attorneys any further and deferred the matter to short calendar to-mor- row, when the, eases will be assigned for nearing. The jury was according ly dismissed until 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, when, unless other arrange ments are made meanwhile, the cases against John O'Brien and Aaron Blans- deld will be called.

AT THE THEATERS.
THAT MAN AND I"

/- IhAI MAN AND l
 This stirring play from the pen of Mrs Frances Hodgson Burnett, in which Robert Hilliard and an excep- tionally fine company. including Maude H>ealy and H. Reeves Smith, will be seen at Polfs' this evening, has. re ce1ved as much favorable comment as any play put on in New York this sea son. Many critics have pronounced 1t stronger even than Mrs Burnett s other play in which Maude Adams is starring this season. The scenes of the play are laid in Marshfield, Mass, and among the mountains of North Carolina. There is prologue and three acts. The story is one of eX- ceeding interest. The prologue shows Dick Latimer, a whole-souled, gener> ous young man, broken down by the disgrace of his only sister Margery. Seventeen years pass. Margery died In hut among the mountains of North Carolina, leaving a girl baby which was adopted by Dick and .Alss Starkweather, a kind woman friend. The second act finds the young girl the light of the household and already be- throthed to a worthy young man. Dick has grown rich, thanks to the help of his old friend, John Baird, a man who DeTrlended Jim and Margery in their early struggles with poverty. Baird Is also an occasional inmate Of the house and beloved by all. Felicity, the daughter, has just married when the discovery of some old letters re- veals to Dick that the man that he has longed to meet the man whom his dying sister would never name, is his bene- factor, John Baird. The manner in which this scene Is treated shows the work of genius, as Mrs Burnett un- doubtedly is. Never has there been anything like 1t for strenuosity shown on the stage in years. The prayers of the little girl unconsciously uttered, not knowing of the tragedy about to be ehacted, suggests to Eatimer what he should do to his perfdious friend. The stage settings are the most beau- tiful ever shown on any stage. Prices are 25, 30, 75 cents, $1 and $1.5O.

Credit Argument.

Our strong position in the credit og - Is matter attained by uns daunted persistence in matters of quality and littleness of price, backed by the most liberal and generous cred 1t proposition ever offered to the pub lie by the Guarantee Credit Clothina Co.
 . Anybody can buy for cash! That's easy" There's no special honor in the fact that one can walk into store, lay down in cold cash the full price asked for an article and so become the possessor. Come to think of it it's the coldest sort of proposition, 8 mere transaction. To have credit given you is entirely different. Makes you feel as though you were entitled to 1t. What great honor 1t is to be able to enter as store. select such goods as you want and arrange to pay for them in amounts and at times that are convenient to you. What a great dignity there is to credit. and how far reaching its beneficial Effects.
 A large per cent of the worlds business owes it's existence to this great comodity. To buy Tor cash, then, is very ordinary. But to buy on credit is always a distinction that one should be proud of.

Charley Grapewin will appear ir the musical farce ''The Awakening of MT Pipp'' tomorrow evening at Polls In this piece MT Grapewin has wide scope to display his versatility and to introduce that peculiar style of stage humor for which he Is so well known The comedy in ''The Awakening of MT Pipp'' is relieved now and then by touch of pathos. MT Grapewin at no time resorts to the slapstfck methods of many comedians. The farce abounds in many laughable sit nations and is interspersed with catchy songs presented, by a clever company, including twenty-five pretty girls handsomely gowned. Prices are 25, 35, 30, 75 cents and $1.
