COSTLY KISSING.

An Indiana woman has been award.
ed a Judgment for $4,000 damages from
n man who kissed her slS times.
He must have been a tremendous.
ly nard kisser, or else the woman
must have been easily susceptible OF
damage. Certainly only a Hoosler
jury could determine how a woman
can be damaged by kiss or by even
six kisses in quick succession.
That woman Is made to be kissed
is proved by the fact that she is 50
kissable, and thar man Is made to
kiss is long established and recog-
nized because he will kiss at any
provOcation, providing he is within
reach OF something hssable
That woman can stand being kissed
~ proved by more numerous instances
than could be recited in this chapter
Had this woman lost her nose or a
foot In a railway collision the dam
age would have been determlnable,
but how can that which is a delight to
so many women be such a great dam.
age to another?
A kiss Is a strangely harmless
thing, for you can give one without
losing anything or get one without
gaining anything. You can get and
give at the same time and not lose
or gain a penny's worth.
That some woman may object to
being kissed by certain men Is but
natural and right, but that a kiss of
one man should be heavenly to
woman, while that OF another man
should be actually damaging to the
same woman, seems impossible and
unreasonable.
True there Is subtitle sentiment
about II that gives Il wondrous shades
OF difference but what do sober
judges and serious jurymen know
about that or course, II might be ar.
gued that the man kissed her agalnat
her will, but what weight would that
kind Of an argument cut?
Doesn't woman nearly always eN
peci TO be kissed anyway?
And doesn't the man know that she
expects to be kissed and wants to
be, or at least wants to expect to be?
Kisses would lose all their sweet.

There Is no greater crlais In

OF course, the Indiana decision will
not AFFECT the price OF kisses at this
distance but It establishes a danger.

THANKSGIVING ABOUT TOWN.
Waningford Trolley Gets Banner Crow

Wallingford Trolley Gets Banner Crowd
 Of 5000 or 4oOO People.
 Yesterday was Thanksgiving and de- spite the fact that the weather during part of the day was cloudy 1t did not prevent the carrying out of all the earlier plans for the fullest enjoyment of the day. Numbers Of people spent q part of the day in either riding on the trolley cars, driving or walking.
 Yesterday was a gala day for the Wallingford trolley line. Cars were run on this line on g half hour headway, instead of the regular hour schedule. It is estimated that between 5000 and 4,000 people enjoyed this trip.
 The lines running to the shores, par ticularly to the Momauguin, to Derby and to CenterVille were also well pa- tronized. No accidents anywhere or the system were reported yesterday.
 There were a number of people out horseback riding and the usual number fof sportsnlen were out with guns and dogs, although there was no regular gun shoot held.
 AtYarious of the churches there were appropriate services sor the day and special sermons preached. A number 1 of the churches held union services. The attendance at all services was large.

IRIS.

Accuracy in stage settings have of recent years reached a pitch unknown to. old playgoers. In the beautiful pro- duction of Iris" which will be seen at the New Haven theater next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, the limit has been reached. Nothing so elaborate has ever been seen, especial ly in the popuIar-prieed houses. Eu- genie Blair, who plays the title role, is an artiste of high reputation, and her latest venture in producing the power ful social drama of Iris should arouse a good deal of interest in those who look to the leading dramatists to show them society in high life as it ex- ists to-day.
 This is unquestionably the greatest of A. W. Pinero's dramatic offerings. It is so true to nature that one would hardly think they were witnessing a performance on the stage. The prob i lem is there and the picture is placed in full view. The stage settings are gorgeous in the extreme. The compa- ny has been selected with especial care and the whole production is an exact replica of that used at the Garrick the ater, London.
 There will be a matinee Wednesday. The advance salesof seats is now open.

New Haven Theater.

Ira D. Sankey's famous hymn, "Nine- ty and Nine," which has been sung in all parts of this broad land, and which has brought home to many the full from the path of right, suggested the basis for the play by the same name, which was presented at the New Ha- ven theater yesterday afternoon and last evening. This famous production ,ccsting, as 1t has, almost fortune to be staged, has been heralded with as much fervor as the hymn has been sung and has been witnessed by thou sands. The presentation at the New Haven theater is precisely the original in every respect and hence it far sur passes anything in the line of rural plays.
 The first act is built around the line "One was out on the hills away" and brings pretty, yet sorrowful picture of handsome strong young man wan- dering away because of his love for drink, and relates the anguish in the heart of a young girl for this wanderer and portrays her first efforts to have him change his plan of life. The second act And though the pathway be rug ged and steep, I go to the desert to find my sheep continues the story of the girls persistence to- accomplish her .laudable end. The third act, How deep were the waters crossed" continues the arduous task and despite the many ob- stacles of family and friends brings the young girl to the final joy of T have found my sheep,' which wins for her both the victory over strong drink and a husband. The story, pretty as it is, has the necessary villainous side and the contrast is strikingly true and forcibly shown.
 The presentation company is one of much excellence and the scenic effects in keeping. The panoramic scene of the monster engine in wild flight is mag nificent piece of stage realism. By req son of the great demand for seats and the fact that standing room was at a premium at both performances yester- day, there will be special matinee this afternoon, a performance this evening, and the usual performances tomorrow matinee and night.

WAS IN A RAILROAD WRECK.

 Narrow Escape in Florida.
 Judge L. L. Hopkins and Mrs. Hop- kins and Mrs. Nathan Turrell. Judge Hopkins mother, had a thrilling ex- perienee in train wreck at. Glencoe. sixty miles from Jacksonville. Fla, on Tuesday afternoon Of last week, but fortunately escaped without other i1- jury than severe shaking uE.
 Judge Hopkins and his party left Danbury on Monday on their way to Bellevue, Fla. where they are to re- side. The train was derailed on a tres tie while running at high speed. The engine, mail car and two passenger coaches, and one Pullman left the track.
 A letter received from Judge Hop kins by Frank T. Benedict, his son-in- raw, gives the following description of the experience of the Danburians in the wreck.
 Tine cars bumped and tore along the track on the ties and then the lights went out and nothing was to be heard but the exelamations and meanings os the passengers. The engine and every ear except the rear trucks of our Pull man, which was the last car of the train, were off the track. Lanterns and candles were found. Large fires srom the wreckage lit up the scene and then we could see the worst and it was a terrible sight.
 We had crashed through a trestle ten or twelve feet high. The cars were held at different angles by the wreck of the trestle Passengers were moaning. grooming and crying. Most of the cars were badly damaged. 4 large timber drove through the bottom of one car, throwing the passengers out of its way. A large iron rod drove up through the bottom of another car. One mans arm was broken and many others were bruised.
 The nearest station was eight miles away and the nearest house two miles. We had to remain in the swamp from 5:40 D. m. until 3 a. m.
 "A passenger and myself helped moth CT about a quarter of a mile and then hired man with q hand car to carry us where the wrecked engine was, and after short walk VIC reached the relief train that had been sent from Jacksonville. .''-Danbury News.

THE YANKEE CONSUL.

 An engagement notable in the current theatrical season is that announced for the Hyperion theater next Monday night, when Henry w., Savage offers for Raymond Hitchcock in the comic opera furore "The Yankee Consul, { to- gether with the original supporting company, chorus, augmented orchestra and production. Mir. Hitchcock may expect to enjoy a portion of the success he enjoyed during his engagement last season of five months at the Broadway theater, New York, and other extended engagements in Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia.
 The Yankee Consuf' is one of the best equipped starring vehicles ever given comic opera comedian, and the critics on the New York dailies have said that Hitchcock was the best comic opera comedian developed in almost a decade, so 1t would seem that star and vehicle were in a satisfying harmony. Henry M Blossom, jr.. who wrote the book and the lyrics, and Alfred G. Ro- Sbyn. who is responsible for most mu- sicianly score, have fitted Hitchcock with an almost glove-like nicety and his success in the role he is essaying is a fitting testimonial to his appreci- ation of the part he plays. Seats are now on sale.
