{ During the season 1901- -O2 The volin- teer Organist'' was presented through out the United States and Canada by three distinct companies, each carrying it's own special scenery and mechanical effects. It appears that in some cities an impression prevailed that those who saw the company No. 3 or No. 2 were not so we'll treated as the playgoers who witnessed the production by company No. 1. Nothing could be further from the truth. As matter of fact the conn panies were of equal merit, while the three sets of scenery were exactly alik
 The companies sent out this season are made up principally from the play- CTS who were most successful last sea- son, So that the present production of "The Volunteer Organist," at least in a histrionic sense, will be far in advance of that of all previous ones, phenome- nally great as the triumph of the drama last year, The organization which pre- sents The Volunteer Organist" at the New Haven theater the last three days this week is company No. 1, and will present as fine a cast and as perfect an equipment as any attraction offered this year to the public. There will be g matinee on Saturday. Seat sale now open.

This startling production will be seen at the New Ha- ven theater tonight and Tuesday, Wednesday nights and at the matinee, Wednesday. There Is a startling climax to the first act of The Black Mask that practically rivets the auditor to. their seats. It. occurs through the efforts of he murdered banker to make known the name of his murderer. Ali means of communication having been destroyed, the writing material scattered prorlis-, euously through the struggle, the victim in his dying agony attempts to print the name iii his own blood upon the window blond. He expires. however, before the name is complete, but suffl-1 cient has been written to fix the crime upon an innocent party whose name is similar to that of the murderer.

purpose of forming an anti Mormon

be held next week to ratify the action
and perfect the organization.
A protest against the statements of
President Smith was unanimously
adopted and was at once signed by
about 200 citizens. The protest will
be forwarded to Chairman Burrows of
the investigation committee and cop
les will be circulated for further sign

The resolutions declared that the
law abiding citizens repudiate en-

him at Washington were nowhere re-

Washington. March 16. 3 p. M
The entire crop of rumors from the
far east may be disregarded as entirely
unreliable. In dipIon aic circles here
no credence is given to them hatever.
There is not the slightest belief
here that Russia will evacuate Port
Arthur or Vladivostok. as dispatch's S
have been saying for the past week or
more. Neither will these two great
ports fall into the hands of the japan.
ese, unless they are either carried by
storm or reduced by starvation.
The Siberian railway trains are
still running to both Port Arthur and
Vla1ivostok. carrying great quantities
of supplies and ammunition. Both
Supplies and ammunition have been
said to be running short in the dis
patches for the past half dozen days.
Port Arthur represents the power
of Russia in Asia, in the eyes of the
Chinese and the moral effect of the
fall of Port Arthur would be tremen-
dous. For9 that reason it will be de-
Tended until the very last. The re-
port that the Russian fleet has left
Port Arthur to Join the vladivostok
squadron is absurd. without coaling
stations, the fleets would be derelicts
or fioa ting hulks, at the mercy of sea
and wind
Both sides are massing large forces

Gets 6 to s Years.

William LaFalr who was convicted
last week of manslaughter in the kill
ing of Eben L. Massey was brought
before Judge Stevens last night for
sentence.
When he stood up for sentecne
Judge Stevens in his usual tranquil
voice uttered the words that made
William LaEair prisoner in the state
penitentiary for period of not less
than six years and not more than
eight years. There was not muscle
moving in LaFair's face when he
heard the sentence pronounced upon
him. He took it calmly without an
outward sign.
The sentence of not less than six
years can be materially reduced on ac-
count of good behavior about year
and half in the term of his sentence.
If his conduct is bad. he will have
to serve the fall eight years.
This morning Sheriff Struthers took
LaFair to Canon CITY as he was ex-
ceedingly anxious to begin his term.
