FIRES IN THE
ADTRONDACKS

A circular from the New York bur- eau of forestry approves the sugges- !, tion that some forest fires in the Ad- {. irondacks are caused by the suns
 rays being focused through frag- !, ments of broken bottles, and says that danger from this source is known in
 the west, where old settlers object strongly to having broken glass left about on account of this very danger.
 But the bureau thinks the risks from this source trif1ing in comparison ! with that from fires started through pure carelessness or with deliberate Eintent, and 1t lays most stress on the latter, as may be seen from the follow ing extract:
 s The rapid increase in the number and extent of private parks and game preserves in the Adirondacks, and the resulting decrease In the area open to all for hunting and fishing, have en- gendered strong feeling against pri- vate preserves upon the partsof some who do not enjoy their privileges. In the spring of 1903 many of these pri- yate preserves were badly burned, one of the largest being burned over from end to end; nor is there valid reason for doubt that the fires upon them were largely of incendiary ori- gin. One man familiar with the woods can set fires which in a few hours are practically beyond control. It is seldom possible to bring against him sufficient evidence to convict The strong feeling in parts of the Ad- irondacks against private preserves is, therefore, an exceedingly serious menace of continued damage from fire.
 The rate at which the fire fighting is paid seems in many eases to defeat the end for which the money was pro- vided The law reads that not more than $2 per day may be paid for this labor, leaving the exact figures to be decided by the towns. Most of the towns paid the full $2 on account of the severe nature of the work Two dollars a day is more than can be earned at anything else except guid- ing or skilled labor in this region. As consequence, some fires were set to prolong the work by the very men who were employed to put them out.
 "Fallow fires'' (that is fires started by farmers and settlers for the pur- pose of clearing the land) also caused much destruction, but everything pos sible was done by the wardens to dis courage the practice. One warden fined his own brother for allowing. such fire to get beyond control and a good example was made at Thurman where a desperate character was sent to the state penitentfary at Dame mora for year on cumulative sen tence The warden was able to prove that this man set twenty fires in one day and tried to shoot boy who discovered him at his work. A younger accomplice was committed to the reformatory at Elmira.
 The Adirondack situation is growing worse and worse as rich people ac- quire so much of the land that has for generations been practically open to any one. Generally they do not understand the natives or the natives them, and it will be some time before matters are brought to really prop CT solution. Meantime it is not un- likely that they will be worse before they are better.-Hartford Times.

Ermete Noyelli, the great Italian actor, who has been playing an engage ment of long duration at the Al1er1, Buenos Ayres, has set the Argentina capital wild with enthusiasm.

 Charming Eleanor Robson-with her dainty little play, and her delightful impersonation of the title role, Merely Mary Ann," has become quite the rage in London, as the result of which the inauguration of the London society season has filled the Duke of York's theater nightly with the titled and wealthy men and women of refinement and culture, who come only to record their approval of the young American artiste who had already been received there with such distinguished public favor.

 Mrs Gilbert's starring tour is sure to be great success, and the dear old Jady is like a child over it. She con- siders her debut as a star the event of her career, and as her part is a very difficult one to play she is just trifie nervous over it. What a first night that will be, and what a reception Granny is sure to have. Only last season. when she appeared with Annie Russell-wllo by the way, must miss her very much-the reception she re- ceived almost frightened her, and as she stood there looking out front, 1t seemed as if, the tears were not very farNaway. When she comes before us as a star, what a night it will be for her, and for all who love and admire the dear old lady.

A SAFE INVESTMENT
Is the Waterbury City Government
 Run in the Interest of Trusts !?

With the Assessors Department grinding the small and middling prop erty owner to a point of distress, and this reform government now proposes to make the owners of small dwellings set water meters in each house, pay for and keep the same in repair, and tha city will sell water to the small con- sumer at high price, and the big con- sumer at low price. If this rule is enforced the city will be compelled to place on the pay roll about 100 meter inspectors. Of course the city, will pay for their services first, and the taxpayers afterwards. If this sort of economy is practiced very long you depend upon it there will be day of reckoning for the reformers.

NEW YORK DAY BY DAY.

There are few dramas in which the characters are so widely different and at the same time Sa true to life as those in New York Day by Day. which is being played at Polls this afternoon and evening. The types are not those usually seen by the casual visitar in the metropolis. Only one who knows the city intimately and has seen the under side of life ill its hooks and corners can claim acquaintance with the originals. The English foot, pad. exiled from his own country by his crimes, seeks new victims in New York's streets and alleys. The infa. nous Mother Cantwell of the play re, ally exists among the old crones whose dens are the hiding places of thieves and crooks. The pathetic figure Of the blind flower girl is no rare creation of the playwright's brain, and Moses Vopps. the German hot sausage ven. dor, Rags, the bootblack, the returned diamond hunter. and the impish wharf rat all exist in real life as well as on the stage. Prices are 25, B and 50 cents.
 POWER BEHIND THE THRONE.
 Some idea of the merit of s.The Power Behind the Throne" in which haInef1ne WlllarQ ana dH eAcellenC company will be seen at Polls on Monday evening may be gained from the reception which has ben accorded the production wherever it has been presented. Practically without ex> ception managers of theaters where this drama has been presented have in, sisted upon return engagements, and in every case where the demand has been granted. Miss Willard and her ex- celent company have been almost over. whelmed with the warmth of their greeting. This is not only gratifying to the young star, but it is evidence that the theatergoing public is quick to appreciate true merit. There is ey. cry reason to believe that the produce ton will be accorded similar treat. ment when Miss Willard plays her en- gagement here. Prices are 9, B, 90, 75 cents and $1.

HIS DEATH RECALLS
A STRANGE STORY.
Judge Reilly Mas Said to Have Pep
ce-ed the Queen Of Zanzibar

| WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Judge w.
George Reilly, a well known character
about town, whose familiar haunts
we're around newspaper row, died here
to-day at the Washington Asylum Hos
pital from the effects OF a heat stroke
suffered sometime ago. HailinS from
Virginia., he at various times held
public office there and was a judge OF
the Southern Claims Commission for
that State. Twice he was United
States consul to places in Venezuela
and also at. one time was consul at
Zanzibar, to which offices he was ap-
pointed by Republican Presidents.
One of the stories told OF him., but
not authenticated, was that when. NIL
ing the position Of consul at Zanzibar
he had shot the Queen of the Island
with salt and pepper because she per-
sisted in bathing in the garb OF ma
ture in front of the American consul
ate each afternOon. 1t was SAD ne
was recalled for this act, but the State
Department records show hat he re-
signed the Zanzibar consulate after
holding it a year, because of the death
of a member of his family. ~

saw your first circus parade, for that
age is probably as far back as yolr
memory can carry you. 1t vas about
this time that circus day took prece-
Edeuce over other holiday on
your calendar. You looked forward to
the Fourth OF July, you looked for
ward to the ten weeks summer vaca-
ton from school,, and Thanksgiving
and Christmas we're on your list, but
the circus led the procession and trot-
ted in a class all by itself. You re-
call how the first advance car arrived
in town, then the pictures on the bill
boards; then another advance car and
a little, later the Autographs in the
store windows. From this time on ev-
erything went by the board in antici-
patton OF the circus. You began to
save your money. You were good to
your mother. Yon ran errands with
out complaint and begged to be asked
to run more. You never cried. you
were never cross, and you went to bed
early for weeks without registering
the semblance of a kick. And how
you did buckle into that woodpile! But
those are all memories Of the past.
The day Of days dawned when the cir
Gus arrived. When 0 were very
young you arose at 3 a. NJ, after a
~sleepless night. and with, big brother
or father wendell your way to the
place Of unloading. A little later in
life you did not go to bed. but sat up
all night and convinced yourself that
the night before circus day was the
longest night OF he year.
After the first number on the days
program-the unloading of the show
came a short intermission. Then the
parade. You stood on the sidewalk,
the curbStone, or in a doorway; IT
perhaps you were perched in a tree
on a lamp post. How you did stretch
the cords of your neck looking for that
first chariot with the band! And how
you imagined every three minutes that
you heard the band and would look
again in the direction from which the
vas to come. Then it did come.
First the big l~ooking-glass chariot with
the band on top. Then some more
gold chariots, drawn by four, six or
eight horses. Then some cages with
animals, and Q wagons and more
Then some riders on horse
back and another band. Finally the
elephants, preceded by the
nan on horseback who shouted, Hold
your horses!'
