NEARLY A CENTURY AGO.
Letter Written in 1895 Plainly Legible
 and We'll Preserved.

Letter Written in 1895 Plainly Legible
 and We'll Preserved.
 While looking over a package of waste paper a few days ago, John Mo Guigan, of Shelton, found an old letter which is quite curiosity. It was writ ten in 1895, very nearly a century ago, but is as legible now as though written but a few days ago. It was addressed to pr. Eneas Monson, Jr., New Haven, and was sent from Springfield, bearing the initials M. S." as the only sigma ture.
 The paper is saffron color with age and exposure to the weather, but the ink still retains it's color and every word can be read without difficulty.
 The letter contains the news of an unexpected marriage of a relative of both the writer and the recipient of the letter apparently, and is well written; the composition being far above the average and the epistle being in all probability the work of a well educated person.
 Just how letter, written at this time, will look a century hence, can of course only be imagined, but judging from some one-tenth that age, it is more than probable that such letter would be illegible, owing to the fading of the ink, if indeed the paper itself would not be utterly destroyed before that length of time elapses. es.--Water' bury American.

SECRET oF PoLICHINELLE.

'nThe Secret of Polichinelle" ran one hundred and thirty-three nights in New York last spring. The comedy was first produced by James K. Hackett at the Madison Square theater, and the fire commissioners closed the house on ac- count of the Iroquois fire scare in Chi eago. The play then moved to the Gar den theater, where it ran for a couple of months. That house was then hand ed over to the carpenters and builders for alterations, and "Polichinelle" moy- ed to the Princess theater, where its run was continued well into the heated term. In spite of all these changes of domicile the nightly attendance did not vary ten dollars a performance. This slight variation was in the amount of standing room sold, for during the en- tire run of the play there was not a single performance at which every seat in the house had not been sold before 7:3O in the evening. The play comes to the Hyperion theater tomorrow even- ing, with William H. Thompson and the original company and production intact

CHlLDREN'S DEPAR TMENT

Bert might have touched it with
an oEtstretched hand Il was resting
Ou us launches swapping at fly that

tionless, his eyes starting out OF his
head, while his poor little heart kept
ihunping against the bosom of his
clean white blouse with the force of a
hammer.

in dumb terror behind the tree. Gov
ing thus to hide herself from view.
And in her mind she offered up baby
player for their deliverance from the
horrid beast now come to devour
them. How long this awful suspense
lasted no one will ever know. It may
have been but a minute or two, though
to Bert and June it seemed a million
years, when 1t was ended by a quick.
shrill. chattering noise: and through
the woods leaped another dark body.
small and full Of queer antics, and to
Bert's great aston IS tnent, a monkey
sprang nimbly Oh the back OF the
huge black bear. who did not deign
to notice it. The monkey wore a lit
tie cap and jacket OF brown velyeteen
trimmed gaily with bright braid and
buttons.
Berts fear was now mingled with
wonder, and he began to think that he
was in an enchanted woodland As
for June, she neither saw nor heard
the new arrival.
"Oh, ho. Bruno. you old scamp, so
you thought you would give me the
slip, did you? But Sancho. the little
heather, followed you up and kept me
on your track"
These worns came from behind Bert
and June and caused their hearts to
leap with JOY. At last there was help
at hand, and they would not be eaten.
Both children turned quickly to see
from whom the voice came and there

ing fine white teeth.

We'll" continued the dark young
man, "they won't hurt you. They both
like kids. It's the little chaps that
give us the pennies. isn't it, Sancho,
you heathen!" Then, to the surprise
of Bert and June, the strange young
man took from his pocket a muZzle
attached to a long strap, and going
to the black bear, slipped it over his
nose, throwing the looped end Of the
strap over his right wrist. Nov.
come, old SPORT he commanded, and
the bear reluctantly arose to obey.
The monkey was darting hither and
thither, chattering a great deal Of
nonsense, to which neither Bruno nor
his master paid any heed.
