terpret in the new play, "A Runaway Boy" which was writtens especnally for this young star by Hal Reid, is said to be a strenuous one. That he has a great following will be evidenced during his coming appearance here at the New Haven theatre tonight and Friday and Saturday nights.
 There is more than comedy and mel odrama in "A Runaway Boy" The third act of the play, which is by Hal Reid, is placed in a circus tent with a performance going on. There are side shows of all kinds, there are horses and there are acrobats doing their work; in fact one of the great scenes of the play is at the end of this act, when the young hero who is doing trapeze act falls from his lofty perch on the swinging bar and is saved from instant death only by being caught bys his hesls. as he shoots by the partner of his act with lightning like rapidity. The hero of "A Runa- way Boy'' is played by America's greatest boy actor, Joseph Santley who in few short years has won a most enviable position in stellar ranks Supporting young santley. Mr. Mey- CTS has gathered together an exceed ingly strong company, including some of the best known people in their line of work, "A Runaway Boy" produc- ton is one of the heaviest and most elaborate that is touring the country this year.

THE FATAL. WEDDING

True to life and replete with interest and power to amuse, as well as to force a tear, is the great success, "The Fatal Wedding" now playing 10. crowded houses. That "A thing of beauty is a joy forever is we'll proven by the hold this play has on the pub. lie. Much that it presents is novel. and full of charm. Strong in dramatic. power and in pathos, 1t is still well charged with laughter-provokin inci-; dent To have an entertainment touch every side of one'sa nature, awaken every sympathy, is refreshing and up- lifting. "The Fatal Wedding" will re- main public favorite as Ions as man can feel with man his joys and his sorrows, Its absorbing story is we'll illustrated by fine company of ac-5 tors and elaborate and realistic scenic setting, true in the minutest detail.

or not, it is achieving results. 1t has forced revelations that are at once en- Tightening and damaging. Unless James Hazen Hyde is in possession of facts that would fbe damaging to his own rep utation and interests, he would not in- yoke technicalities to avoid making a full statement of his relations to the business in hand. 5t #s,. ss
 But his matters can wait. The, figure of immediate interest in Wednesdays inquisition was President Mccall of the New York Life. He has been al rich mine of information on previous oc- casions and the lead seems by no means to be exhausted. The Judge" Hanil- ton incident was further ventilated, He has been handling hundreds of
 thousands of dollars of the company's money, and MT. Mccall tlSnoWs that he did not pay dollar for improper purposes YetIle admitted that Ham ilton turned in no vouchers and he did not know in what way he employed his sinews of legislative control or what he did with the money. For hundred thousand dollar guardian of the peo- pIe's money this strikes the plain,5 or dinary business man as savoring of very loose methods.
 But there were other financial tran sections. apparently very much to, MT. McCall,s advantage, of which he could not plead ignorance. It appeared that he obtained loan from the Metropoli- tan Life at one and one-half per cent, and the president of the Metropolitan Life obtained a loan from the New York Life at the same low figure, the transactions being apparently negotiat- ed between those two functi tionaries,. McCau's son-in-laW has been drawing salary of $15,000 year from the company and another relative $7,500. An elegant apartment house that was one of the con1pany's assets and paid but a very small fraction of one per cent on its valuation was found to be largely taken by members of the Mo Call family at very, low rentals. All this testimony sounds almost like re- citaI of the acts of the Philadelp pbia 1 or St, Louis political machine < ss What should these various transac- tions be called? Governor Folk says that when the president of great in surance company contributes the funds of his company for political campaign purposes he commits embezzelment. But that seems to have been the mild- est of many offenses. In that case the plea of public benefit might De urged, as it hos been, and many would ac- cept it; but the other matters have seemed to deal with personal or family benefits, and that makes even a pre- tense of, extenuation more difficult. One grave development is the action of a couple of states warning the company out of their boundaries unless Mccall resigns, and there are others that show an inclination to follow their lead. In- stead of conceding that he is worth the huge salary he pays himself. the public is nearing the conclusion that he is dear at any price.-Boston Transcript

COFFEE NEURALGIA
Leaves When You Cult and Use Post,in

A lady who unconseiously drifted into nervous prostration brought on by cof- fee says:
 q have been coffee drinker all my life and used it regularly three times a day.
 "A year or two ago became subject to nervous neuralgia, attacks of ner- vous headache and general nervous prostration, which not only incapaci- tated me for doing my housework, but frequently made it necessary for me to remain in dark room for two or three days at time.
 ''f employed several good doctors, one after the other, but none of them was able to give me permanent relief.
 Flight months ago friend suggested that perhaps coffee was, the cause of my troubles and that I try Postum Food Coffee and give up the old kind. I am glad I took her advice, for my health has been entirely restored. I have no more neuralgia, nor have had one solitary headache in all these, eight months. No more of my days are vast ed in solitary confinement in a dark room. 1 QO dll lily oWl Wo1h "lIH edSe' The flesh that lost during the years of my nervous prostration has come back to me during these months, and am once more a happy healthy woman. I enclose a list of names of friends who can vouch for the truth of the state ment." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 There's reason.

ENTERTAINMENTS
HyperiOn Theatre.


 With the best company of comedians ever under his experienced manage ment, with the prettiest, best singing and best dancing chorus which has ever been sent on tour, and with a largely augmented orchestra, Joe Weber and his All-Star company will appear for one night at the Hyperion theater tonight.
 This splendidly equipped organiza- tion comes this time with a double bill, which stod the test of a run of more than an entire season at MT. Weber's own pretty theater in New York at Broadway and Twenty-ninth street, widely known as Joe Weber S Music hall. The two plays making up the double bill are the musical farce ''Higgledy Piggledy," and the delight ful travesty on George Ade's "The Col loge Widow" which sails under the caption of The College Widower." /" Both books were written by Edgar Smith, who for ten years has had an unbroken run of successes at the Weber Music hall. Among other par odies, travesties and farces he fur nished in that time may be mentioned "Hoity Toity," "Fiddls- -de-dee," and "Twirly Whirly," and burlesGues on Arizona" Catherine" "The Little Princess" Rallies" and many others. Maurice Levi, who is responsible for the muisc of "Higgledy Piggledy" and "The College Widower,'"' has probably written more popular music than any one member of the array of up-to-date composers. He will conducts the en- larged orchestra in person at the per- formance here of the All-star Co.

STILL IN THE MISSILES.

Deeper and deeper runs the probe of the Armstrong Investigating committee into the life insurance business of New York and at every advance it brings up against some new sensation. It is hardly to be wondered at that the de- fense should consider it necessary to make counter and this ex- plains the contention of James Hagen Hydes counsel that the committee is an illegal body without power or juris- diction to conduct the investigatio it is now making.

THE LION AND THE MOUSSE

When Charles Klein's latest play, "The Lion and the Mousse" is pre- scented by a fine company at the Hy- perion theater October 20, New Haven theatergoers will have the opportunity to pass judgment upon the most re- cent work of the author of ''The Music Master
 "The Lion and the Mouse" deals in vigorous fashion with one of the most discussed problems of the day, that of the power exercised by wealth in poli- tics. The title suggested by that of Aesop's fable is strikingly apt, for the play treats of the struggle between a strong man, a mighty factor in the financial world, and the daughter of the man he has wronged.

WHY BIRDS GO SOUTH.

/ once asked a confirmed old
bachelor" says Mr.. Craig :.
ThOms in the New Idea Woman's
Magazine for November, why he
did not marry, to which he replied.
i have gotten over wanting to.
Is there a tide in the affairs of birds
for certain period in the autumn
which draws them southwark And
if the fall be pleasant. as was that
of 1904, and they remain longer
than usual, does this tide of incl-
nation pass away and leave them
stranded with US for the winter
Or, when they have strayed during
a long, pleasant autumn, do they
reason like the old man who said
that 1t would not pay him to get
false teeth now. that his time was
too short
1t Is usually thought that the
determining factor in the birds
going or staying is not that of cold.
but of food; and for this there Is
doubtless considerable evidence.
Yet, for the evidence to be conclu-
sive, it would need to be shown
that the food is lacking when they
go forth and leave Us, as well as
present when they stay throughout
the year.
In the autumn of 1904. in the
groves which skirt the rivers in
South Dakota, wild grapes were
unusually abundant. The autumn
was so long and dry that they
cured upon the vines, and were
sweet, somewhat juicy. and very
palatable during the entire winter.
In these groves | found companies
of Wilson's bluebirds in early
January, when the mercury stood
between eight and ten degrees be-
low zero. The flickers also were
numerous, though it is not uncom-
mon for n few of them to winter in
the North"
In opposition to this fact, Mr..
Thoms notes that although every
winter goodly supply of berries,
seeds, buds, etc, remains on the
bushes, vet the robins, who eat
these, constantly migrate. Mr..
Thoms comes to the conclusion.
therefore, that there is migral-
ing instinct which has its season.
Just as there is a mating instinct
which has its season; and if. owing
to pleasant conditions, that season
passes without the birds being
moved to go South, they do not 90

FROM WASHINGTON.

l don't like to do the Il told YOU
so act but The recent collection
of $4,000 in fines from four rep
resentatives of a big beef house in
Chicago, for violation of the Elkins
Law against railroad rebates, puts
me In mind of the fact that in sew
eral of my letters / have said that
there was law enough on the
statute books at the present time
to raise Cain with both the rail
roads and the shippers who have
been participating in these rebates
If 1t were enforced. This little
Chicago incident proves it. 1t is
true that the offence was committed
some time ago when the paving of
rebates was quite the fashion.
Since the railroad rate agitation
has been on the fashions have
changed and railroad companies
are not paying rebates as a rule.
Demagogues may still tell you they
are but the facts are agin 'em.
You may have noticed that the
fellows who paid the fines were
employees and not members of the
firm. The big fellows got away
Just as big fish Morton slipped off
the hook after the Presidents in
veStigatOrs of the Atchison. Topeka
d Santa Fee case had him safely
hooked and were ready TO land
him. 1t strikes me that these little
fish gave up hopeless fight and
were landed safely in the Govern
ment attorneys creel so as to call
of attention from the big fish that
the government was nominaIIy
after, but who so far it has failed
to land. Between you and |. II

hole much longer. Teddy has
managed to secure little political
capital for his Grand Old Party"

N 4 MS INCREASING TRAFFIC.

The freight and passenger bust
ness of the Norfolk and Western is
increasing moro rapidly than it is
possible to increase the facilities for
handling it.
One of the prominent officials
said TO a Roanoke World reporter
last week that work could not be
pushed rapidly enough on the dou-
ble track and it was difficult to get
enough engines and cars to handle
the great business of the road.
Every engine and every car that
can be used is now in service, and
more are wanted.
Engines and cars have been
ordered, and are coming as fast as
they can be supplied by the manu-
facturerS, but not fast enough.
