"HUMPTY DUMPTY."

Although black and ominous clouds were sailing over the tented enclosure, where "Humpty Dumpty" and troupe of very clever people were to give their much talked of entertainment, big crowd journeyed to the vacant lot on Bank street. Brooklyn. near the old electric light sta ation and last night en- joyed the performance thoroughly. Not all the audience remained to see the show in its entirety for when the storm broke so did the majority of the peo- pie for the exits. fearing to remain dur ing the downpour of rain. the crashing of the thunder and the flashing of the lightning. The company was some what handicapped yesterday in that the tent hands had resorted to a sort of mutiny. like to the Russians on board the Potemkine. with the ex- ception that none of the officials were killed. The afternoon performance was suspended on this account but last night everything was working smooth ly. thanks to the addition of many Wa terbury hands in making the prelimin- ary arrangements. The performance last evening was good. very good and those who were in attendance were more than pleased. It is not circus but the entertainment is just as inter many respects. If is being repeated this afternoon before another large au- dience and tonight the tent will un- doubtedly be packed with those anxi- ous to witness the program.

THEATRICAL
 CHATTER
"THELMA."

Next week Waterburians will have the unusual opportunity of, witnessing an able presentation of Marie Corelli's great novel. '.Thelma," which will be given by Polls own summer stock com pany at the Jacques. Thelma is be- yond all doubt the greatest of all of Marie Corelli's great works and per haps one of the most stirring novels ever written. The blood curdling tale of Thelma's husband being seized with the terrible disease of being bured alive in the vault, afterward breaking his way out of the plain wooden casket and out of the vault, and returning to his home to find his wife, Thelma. in love with another man, is one not soon to be forgotten. When her husband returns, gray and wrinkled. he is not recognized by Thelma and then comes the interesting story of how he, unknown to her as her husband, wins back her love and on the eve of the wedding day when they are. to be joined for the second time, she be- lieving it to be the first, he locks her in the vault in which he had beencon- fined. A batch of new scenery mas been secured for the production and it will be given in thoroughly up-to-date manner.

DEADLY BOMBS.
Nitrogen Is Entirely Harmless Until IL Is Controlled by Man for
 Terrible Purposes.

When left alone to it's natural func
 tions nitrogen pursues a perfec,l. peaceful course. but when man sue
 ceeds in capturing il and combining il with other clements it becomes a dir potentiality for evil, as is obvious i- the recent events of the war in the fai east and in the crime in the streets oi Moscow. The love of freedom. so tc speak, characteristic of nitrogen. i. terribly exemplified in the explosion ot the bomb in which 1t is imprisoned ant bound to other clements. On th. slightest provocation-a spark. z shock. a fuse-the nitrogen suddenly expands from seemingly nothing as re gards the space which it occupies. inc infinity. This is. in reality. what hap pens when dynamite. lyddite or other unstable nitro-compounds explcI It when hurled in shells in warfare anc in bombs in desperate attacks on hu- man life. Nitrogen against its natuTa disposition. is locked up in an uncon
 genial space in these compounds. iron which 1t is set free by very simple means in an enormously expanded gaseous state with deadly effect. re turning. in fact. to its normal peacefu
 mission once more It is the analogus of the sword and the ploughshare. IT the nitro-explosive nitrogen Is the modern engine of warfare and crime; in the free state in the atmosphere fl ministers directly to the quiet ane peaceful needs of plant and human life

Foreign tongues are babbled in the street where once echoed the dialect differences of the County Tyrone and the County Cork Lyons, a gentle-spoken Irishman Of medium height, was a soldier in the southern army during the war The Bowery hummed with life when he reached it. And the corner of Houston street was not yet downtown.
 Even then the Bowery had changed. The big double house in which the Bow cry Delmonico's was started was in it's earlier days the home of Catherine Lorillard Wolfe. Her father owned it.

WHAT HE WOULD DO. Col. Hayes Knew How to Take Care of Surprises If They Should
 Come.

Of Col John C. Hayes. who served with distinction under Gen Winfield Scott in the Mexican war, an amusins story is told by T E Parish in his Cole Hunters of California" Hayes with his command, had been out scouting. Or his return he made no report to Gen Scott. who sent for him Gen. Scott was veritable martinet in enforcing mill tary discipline. After Hayes was seated in the commanders headquarters. Scott said: Col. Hayes. have received nc report of your expedition against the padre" T did not think it worth while" said Hayes. Every officer oi the army is required to make full re port of everything to his superior officer Please make your report verbally"
 Hayes began by saying that he strucl the padres trail on a certain day. fol lowed 1t for two days and on the thirc day. while his command was resting al noon and taking their siesta. the ole padre came down on them. The boys gathered themselves together anc whipped the Mexioans eff, killing quit, a number of the padres command. Hi own loss was insigniflcant-one killed and three wounded. Surprised you eh?" quired Scott. "Yes; We were no expecting him" Where were youI pickets?" Did not have any"
 What" shouted Gen. Scott. A col onel in the regular army of the United States go into camp in the heart of the enemy's country and never place picket on guard? What would you dc if surprised when ssleep?' Shoot tn, first man that woke me up, was the coo reply.

A WESTERN DAZZLER
Pacific Coast Croesus In New
 York With Money.
CHICAC0ANS DIE AT SUND0WN.
Death Valley on an August Day a Dream of Goodness Compared to New York Central Tunnel-Iel-
 low Dog Well Cared For.

NEW YORK, July 15.-AWalter Scott, the new Croesus who has dazzled the Pacific coast with gold won from a Death valley mine, arrived from Chi. cago on the Twentieth Century Limited A great crowd thronged the station and cheered the young man who has come out of the west with that great essen tial-money.
 Hello Scotty.' cried one man. and the rest took up the cry. The air was full of greetings to "scotty" in every meditation.
 Followed by gr1nning porter carry ing two valises. the Croesus of Death valley, leading his famous yellow dog, sauntered down the narrow platform and gazed at the medley of faces which loomed up outside the grating with a smile.
 I'm used to this" he explained, "and it's no mystery to me why people nev- CT saw or heard of are so eager to give me the glad hand. Most of 'em think something will stick to their fingers if they can only shake with me
 T gave my wife a chunk of my roll, and she'll stay at the Great Northern hotel in Chicago until I get back" de- clared the westerner as he saw that the yellow dog was made comfortable in the automobile. I'm only going to stay here few days, and then Chicago can have another chance to roast me be- cause I don't throw S1,0OO bills away. I've heard whole lot about this town. and I'm going 10 see what's in the re- ports. One thinc-Death valley on an August day would be dream com pared to that tunnel we just came through.
 I've always heard that New York CTS were long suffering suppose you've heard all sorts of things about how I throw away money:" asked Mir. Scott. taking in the tall buildings on the way to a stable on Fourth ave nue. where the yellow dog was to find rest for the day. but don't believe all you hear.
 That trip from the coast to the Windy City cost me a good sum. but it was worth it. That was a great ride Chicago is not much. It's dirty all day. and all the people die when the sun goes down"
 'Scotty's" appearance in the galler- ies of the stock exchange was the signal for an ovation. The brokers invited him to come down and spend his money. The miner Croesus smiled at them in a superior way and told the reporters of t1is mine. which was filled with ore sssaying $500 a ton.
 And you can say for me" said ''scotty.'' that I have no stock to sell"
 Loud cheers of joy over "Scotty- and his mine filed the building "Scotty- removed his black felt hat and threw it down from the gallery. It was picked up by a messenger who re- ceived g for his trouble Another messenger received s1O for holding the dog Gold Bug

John D. Rock ue oil king, has rescued Harry Evans, twelve years old, from a beer garden and will edu- cate him and support his widowed mother, says a Cleveland O., dispatch The lad had been singing in a garden to get money to support himself and his mother. He has a fine voice and attracted much attention.
 Young Evans received an invitation to sing the other Sunday before the Sunday school of the Euclid Avenue Baptist church in Cleveland. of which Mir Rockefeller is superintendent. Re spending to the invitation. Harry mounted the platform and sang an old hymn. It may have been a favorite hymn of Mir Rockefeller. At any rate he bowed his head while the boy was singing:
 What friend ve have in Jesus,
 All our sins and griefs 10 bear:
 What privilege to carry
 Everything to God h prayer.
 The sweet voice held the children spellbound. Their parents marveled as the boy continued:
 Oh. what peace we often forfeit.
 Oh. what needless pains We bear.
 All because we do not carry
 Everything 10 God in prayer.
 After the exercises were over Mir. Rockefeller inquired for the lad with the silver voice and met him and his mother. After hearing their story he said:
 Cancel the boys contracts. madam. Do not let him sing in amusement houses again. Harry must he edu- cated. His voice must be trained for better service. It shall be. and I shall pay all the bills and support you until HaTv's education Is complete
