 The members of King Hiram Lodge, F. Ss A. M.. have received four Masonic jewels taken during the civil war from lodge-room in Newborn, N. c. The four are a part of the set which mem Der of the Tenth c. ". L. B. Brown, of Orange, and a comrade seized after breaking into the lodge room. The jew els were taken in a general raid on the place, and those that Brown appropria- ted were subsequently given up by him to the lieutenant of his company. The colonel of the regiment, Mason, knew, las Brown did not. the value and signifi- canoe of the jewels. which were sent north for safe keeping till the was closed, when they were returned to the Newborn lodge. The four jewels con- fiscated by Browns comrade went to parts unknown. The missing jewels have at last come to light. They are in the Derby lodge room, and will proba- bly, find their way back soon to New berne.
 A representative of the Oppenheimer Institute was in Derby last week to consider the feasibility or the demand for branch of that institute in this city. everal years ago there was a san itarium in Derby for the treatment of inebriety, and it was well known. No decision was reached by the Oppenheim- CT man.
 If the opponents of a high bridge needed a better argument against the expenditure than the folly of such a structure, they could not have by ad- vertising found an objection more sa- lient and fatal than the figures of dam ages given in to the board of aldermen at the session last Friday night. These figures represent what the property owners on the line of the much discussed bridge think are their damages. Five of the holders of land submitted their estimates, which in a round sum were eighteen thousand dollars. There are others to be heard from, so that when all the counties send in their returns the citizens will wake up to the fact that this public improvement will cost more than one hundred thousand dollars. The status of this matter amounts to this, that the city has not money enough to pay the damages and build the bridge of the high grade type which the engineer proposed. The city has lninety-two thousand dollars to construct the bridge; 1t must pay the damages or disburse twenty thousand dollars, and no high bridge can be built durable or safe for seventy-two thousand dollars. The people are fast becoming tired of reports, sessions, plans and estimates, and there is but one course now to pursue, a course evident to all but the unbiased or 'sot." which is to at once

saramd Opern Fsonse

The largest houses of the season greeted the popular actress, Eugenia Blair, and her splendid company in
 their presentation of ssZaza" at the
 Grand opera house yesterday afternoon
 and last night. Both times the stand ing room only sign was displayed be- fore the curtain rose and there has been performances although there are still many choice seats to be secured.
 From the enthusiastic reception ac- corded Miss Clair and her company it is safe to assume that the large audi ences were highly entertained by the excellent presentation of this play which has become famous in America as well as in foreign countries. Miss Blair's interpretation of the part is too well known to be dwelt upon at length
 and suffice it to say that she gave her difficult role the same careful and ar tistic trea tment as upon her appear ance at the Hyperion last season. She l is endowed by beauty of face and grace of form and with an artistic tempera- ment which we'll fits her for a we'll nigh perfect rendition of the character 1 she assumes. There is abundant scope | for great emotional work, which at times borders on the sensational and
 Miss Blair makes the most of every l trying situation and wins for herself new admirers at each performance. The rest of the company is one of much excellence and they yesterday at
 both performances gave Miss Blair most
 able support, which added much to the success of the production and to the
 consequent pleasure of the auditors.
 The several very dramatic situations were splendidly drawn and executed and the audiences became decidedly en- 1 thusiastic.
 The staging of this production is in
 keeping with the general excellence of the play, thus making the entire pre- sentation finished one.
 There will be another performance l this evening and tomorrow night and Wednesday matinee.
 ''The Queen of the White Slaves" A. H. Woods stupendous production of a new and sensational melodrama by Ar thur J. Lamb, will be the attraction at the Grand opera house Thursday, Fri
 day and Saturday this week. This at traction, from all accounts is the most
 pretentious and ambitious melodramatic
 production of the season. The plot is
 based on an attempt of the Highbinders to abduct a beautiful white girl, and
 sell her to a Chinese Mandarin. The
 plan is all but accomplished, when the girl is rescued by friends from a hor-
 rible fate, through the instrumentality
 of brave detective, who himself well
 nigh meets death by being marooned on
 raft in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The six acts and nineteen scenes in the meiodrama are gorgeous
 scenic pictures, and well known melo-
 dramatic company of twenty-four peo-
 pie will interpret the various parts.

ENTERTAINMENTS
IIypersan fhsat-r

One of the interesting scenes in ''The Earl of Pawtucket," which is to be seen at the Hyperion tomorrow night. is a breakfast served in the palm room Of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. in the first act. This breakfast is given with a full quota of well-trained walters, and with every accessory that marks the serving of a real breakfast in New York's famous hotel. The actor-wait- CTS. who appear in this scene were coached for their work by Oscar. the Maitre d'hotel of the Waldorf. Man ager La Shelle has exerted every ef- fort to make this scene as well as the others in the play so nearly a duplicate of the genuine surroundings and at mosphere of the Waldorf itself that it shall be absolutely convincing. Seats are now on sale. Prices $1.5O, S1, 75c. The Great and only Hermann comes to the Hyperion next Thursday night in his magnificent exhibition of magic and occult phenomenon. The critical theatergoers of the United States have long since endorsed the marvellous work of this Great Hermann, and it is safe to say that as an entertainer in magic and sensational illusions, his standard is absolutely secure as being the fore most purveyor of this style of enter tainment on the American stage. Nov cities in magic are as essential to suc- cess as in the field of the drama. and | it is probably to this one fact that Hermann always presents something new and startling, something that starts the tongues to wagging in the cities he visits as well as to the mar velous dexterity, with which these feats are performed that much of his success is due. Seat sale now open. Prices 25c. soc. .75c. S1.
 | Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, the author of That Man and ]" which comes to the Hyperion next Friday night, is the author of such great suc- cesses as Little Lord Fauntleroy,'' "A Lady of Quality" 'The Little Prin- cess" and ''The Pretty Sister of Jose, ' the play that Maude Adams is meeting with such success with this season. It | is with That Man and r that Robert Hilliard has made the hit of his career, and was declared by the New York press to be the distinct dramatic nov city of the season. Supporting MT. Hil- Hard is company of exceptional merit, including Maude Fealy and H. Reeves Smith. The stage setting are the most beautiful ever shown on any stage. Seat sale opens tomorrow.

the new owner is to lay out building lots. The location of this property is certainly most favorable for the start ing of what might be called a trolley village. Similar enterprises in Shelton and Derby have succeeded, and these residential settlements will continue an attraction and a good speculation.

 It will be good news to the sportsmen to know from the farmers that the se- were winter has not been so serious to the welfare of the birds as has been feared. In many cases the farmers have been feeding flock after flock, the birds even apparently realizing the friendly act by congregating near the yards and barns of the owners. It is said that very few so far have perished, and the outlook is good for full assem- plies next fall.
 The new railroad bridge at An sonia, to dynamite which an att tempt was recently made, is still under close vigil, and the structure will be effectively guarded till the sound of the last hammer is heard.
