The new spectacular military opera, When Johnny Comes Marching Home," will be seen at Bunnell's New Haven theater on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. This piece is an innovation in amusement enterprise and pleasing and decided novelty. It tells most interesting story ot the Civil War in lyrics and bright melody. The book is by Stan islaus Stangel and the music by Julian Edwards, the authors of "Dolly Var den." It is presented in three acts, the scenes representing the headquar- ters of Gen Allen, of the Union Army, during dance given the Federal of ticers by the Confederate belles, 8 plantation on the Mississippi and an advance post of the Union Army at the time of the declaration of peace between the North and the South. The cast represents large selection of the best score thatJ ulian Edwards has ever written. While original in the main, the composer has very deft- ly interwOven into his own efforts all the martial music so popular during the time of the Civil War, together with darkey melodies and the battle songs of the blue and the gray. From the Standpoint of scenery and cos
 
 and beautiful, the dresses correctly representing those worn during the war period from 1861 to 1865, includ- ing the now somewhat ludicrous mas Sive hoop skirt which was prevalent In those days. There are 23 musical numbers introduced during the per- formance. There will be a bargain matinee, Wednesday, at which prices will be 25c and soc. Night prices 25c, soc, 75c and S1.00.

A Most Dangerous Service

baltimore NeiCS.
Probably few Americans realize that the man
in the United States Railway Mail Service is
far more likely to lose his life than the soldier
in Uncle Sans regular army. Cold figures
which have appeared in two official reports Of
the Government prove absolutely that be is.
Within the year ending June 80 last, only
twenty-four of Uncle Sam s soldiers, in all the
$1,000 on regular or detached duty, were killed
in action. TweDty-one men were killed while
on duty in the Railway Mail Service during
that time. There were only four additional
soldiers wounded so severely that they died or
were Obliged to leave the service on account OF
these wounds. In the Railway Mail Service
ninety men were seriously hurt while on duty,
besides the twenty-one men killed. To make
the showing still more surprising, 1873 mail
clerks were injured more or less severely. If
one compares the strength of the corps of few
thousand clerks with the 65,000 men in the
regular army he will find that the percentage
of fatalities in railway mail service is very
much higher than that in active army duty.
Tt is probable, too, that disease takes off a
greater number of railway clerksin proportion
than it does soldiers. This includes the army
in the Philippines, were there is always more
or less trouble. 1t does not include the three
army officers killed, but they would still not
change the fact that mail clerk service is more
dangerous than active life as a soldier of Uncle
Sam If ''Peace hath her victories no less re-
nowned than those of war" she also has her
dangers no less numerous. Has any Congress
man thought of pensioning manned and dis
abled mail clerks or the widows and orphans
they leave? Probably be has, but If we re-
member rightly, il has not been done.

Shut.-In these days of grip, severe colds and
pneumonia, the word of warning, 'Keep your
mouth shut" need not be construed into an
affront. With the mouth closed and the feet
kept warm and dry, half the chances of con-
tracing a cold are eliminated. The man or
woman who comes out of warm. overheated
ROOM especially at night and insists on talk
ing or laughing, will either catch bad cold or
irritate the lungs sufficiently to cause annoy
ance and unpleasantness. Chills are frequent
ly the result of people talking freely in return
ing home from some evening entertainment.
In this connection one physician commends
the use of face wells for women. Not" he
declares, that the wells are fine enough to act
as a screen against microbes, but they have an
influence in keeping woman's mouth closed
to prevent moisture gathering on the veil.
This insures nasal breathing, which is in itself
a valuable safeguard"
