A ROADSIDE MARRIAGE.

Rehearsals are progressing very fla
 yorably with the cast of characters of
 the drama "A Roadside Marriage, v (which is to be presented at Polls the Eater on Tuesday evening, May 10. The members of the cast are all well
 known in this city and not one of them
 but what has made a success in other
 productions. w. H. Benham is di-
 recting the cast and before the final
 rehearsal he will be assisted by Oscar Eagle, the writer of the play. Natur- ally the question will be asked who ss fo( take the leading parts fin the play and the answer will bring to your mtnds the names of two people who have scored on every occasion when amateur plays were presented. F. s. Phelps was the John Storm in the pro- dhction of "The Christian," and the I Ibig crowds that attended those per formances remember how well his | bart was enacted. He will do even better in his character of Maurice ] NV arner, the artist. He will be we'll
 Supported by no less a person than
 Miss Charlotte Terry, one of the lead
 ling amateur actresses in Naugatuck, lady who has made brilliant suc- cesses in that borough and elsewhere. The whole cast will be good one and the play will be more than clever and interesting.

Tattoo Said. eDon,t operate. :,

CLEVELAND, O., May 3.-Having been twice under the surgeons knife, Clement Farley does not purpose talk ing further chances. He is subject to fits, and both the operations to which he was subjected were performed while he was unconscious. He was seized with a fit and was taken to St. Clair hospital. sThe physicians in charge concluded that he needed an operation. They put him on the operat- ing table. and when his clothing was removed the following inscription was found tattooed in an artistic way upon his abdomen: Don't operate.

VAUDEVILLE AT THB JACQUES,


 The splendid reputation that Mary Hampton had enjoyed here throug..
 her success in Under the Red Robe. : shenandoah" Sowing the Wind" and as B. H. Sothern's leading lady in An Enemy to the King" had whetted the expectations of local show-goers. and these were more than realized when she made her local debut in vaudeville q yesterday at the Jacques. Miss Hamp- S ton, who was always noted for her s beauty as well as her talents, has lost none of the former, while the latter have ripened and mellowed with expe> Tlence. She has in vaudeville a come dietta written by Edmund Day. under 2 the title of s'Ihe Melodrama," which is s admirably suited to show her versatil- ity. A young doctor imagines himself 0 playwright to the great amusement of his wife. The latter goes to spenu the evening at the theater while the doctor is working on his melodrama.
 He falls asleep, however, and in his dreams sees his meloorama being en- acted, with himself as the villain anu his wife in the several female foles. There is also a violinist and the yil- Lain in his dream stays him as well as two women, finally awaking on his yvife's return from the theater to find fhat it was all a dream. Miss Hamp- ton plays the several characters allot- &ted to her in a delightful manner, while John Stepping as the would-be spIaEwright and Frank Whitman as the Eviohinist fill their parts well. The lat ter Is a dancing violinist who has ap- peAred here on several occasions, and hef again introduces his novelty in "The
 Mklodrama'' with capital effect. Miss Hhmpton and her company made fine
 impression yesterday and they should
 pfove popular as headliners There is aInother splendid act in Oracle Emmett
 dnd company's presentation of Mrs
 Iurphy's Second Husband" The com
 bdy in this is of the rapid-fire kind and
 there is something doing all the while. sIt got many laughs yesterday, the au- sdiences being in q broad grin all the
 while. The remaining acts on the bill,
 which are Of the highest type of excel
