ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

The impersonation of Mary Tudor re- quires subtle combination of the will full, the winsome and the witty. and few artists measure up to the require ments of the role on the stage. With the personal charms the Tudor princess was abundantly blessed, but she had more to recommend her, and it is just what is comprised in this word more that must spell failure of those Thes- plans who would essay the role, unless the favored children of Apollo. Among those latter. Lulu Chaser has been &C., corded a place fro mthe first, and it comes as no surprise to her admirers in this and other cities, to hear that she is scoring the triumph of her ca reer in Charles B. Dillingham's latest and most pretentious production, "A Madcap Princess. the delightful comic opera having for it's subject the TO- nance of Mary Tudor and Charles Brandon. Her engagement here is for Friday evening, and is bound to be a success, both nlusically and financially. A large and carefully selected cast will support the star. The production will have fine setting.

"rHE LIBERTY RELIES D

!. One particular charm of the Liberty Belles' is it's aggregation of girls. There is the novel-reading girl, the hungry girl, the athletic girl, the slangy girl, the poetic girl, the prim girl, the irl that shutters. the girl that lisps a little, and the girl that is in love; the girl who plays practical jokes and the girl whose parents are Quakers; while the New York girl, Philadelphia girl, Boston girl, southern girl, with her sis- ters, cousins and aunts, and the girls from Cuba. Spain and Italy, they will present an array of femininity to stir the heart of the most blase opera goer in this town. '"The Liberty BelIes'' will be seen here at the New Haven theater on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night, next week. It will be seen that boys are not so numerous, but the few that have had the good fortune to be dropped among this bevy of loveliness will doubtless appreciate their good luck, and contribute their share to .he success of "The Liberty Bellies" Matinee Wednesday.

"PIFF. PATE. PoUF.r

For the last eight months "Piff, Paff, Pouf' has stirred things up along Broadway in the liveIiest fashion. Not since the days of 'The Queens Lace Handkerchief and the memorable 700 nights run Of "Erminie" at the Casino has this famous playhouse experienced such brilliant success as F. c. Whit ney's "Piff, Paff, Pouf." Right through the summer months the standard of business was maintained, and twice was it's run there extended. MT. Whitney has certainly provided ''Piff, Paff, Pouf' with the best company ever seen or heard in musical comedy. The famous contingent, led by Fred Mace, includes Alice Fischer, Robert Graham, John Hyams, Vinie Daily, Maud and Mabel Rollins, Templar Sake, Harry Stuart, and Abbie Stange. gets rousing laughs from the rise of the curtain to the fall. When it comes to voicing the melodies of Jean Schwartz it would be difficult to find a more. competent band of solo singers than Miss Blanche Morrison, Templar Saxe and the Hol- lins sisters.

POIi'S Theafer.

The mystery of the ice cream made over hot stove of the magic kettle is still the subject of considerable aston ishment to the vaudeville patrons at Polls theater. The kettle is one of the the wonders of the age and in the skill ful hands of Joseph Garrick causes no end of fun as well as arousing the keenest kind of interest in just how it is all accomplished
 Other marvellous things are accom- plished with the kettle. Mercury freezes, it lights cigar and does num- erous other equally clever tricks.
 A strong supporting olio makes the kettle the chief feature of the strong bill. The Rio brothers. three of the most wonderful physical marvels of the age are here in ring, bar and acro- batic feats of a daring nature.

VERY YELLOW" SHOW.
Uncle Joseph Spruceby' Presented by
 Transformers Last Night.

Uncle Joseph Spruceby'' Presented by
 Transformers Last Night.
 There have been yellow shows in New Haven in past years, but seldom if ever has such an one been perpetraSed on lovers of rural comedies as Uncle Josh Spruceby," which was offered at the Hyperion last evening. It would be much better for this company to return to the spot in old Vermont where the scenes of the play are laid than to con- tinue on their journey to Somerville, N. J., Uncle Josh Spruceby' is positive ly so bad as to be ridivulously funny an dthe audience, of considerable pro- portions, made all manners of fun over the transforming efforts of the mem bers of the company. Quite percent age of the audience retired to silent contemplation long before the conclu- sion of tie second act. and nearly all had left the theater before the curtain was rung down on the concluding ''spasm."
 Rural plays, when of the kind of the "Old Homestead" Way Down East ? and others Of like character. are in- tensely interesting, edifying and enter taining, but comparisons are odious and suffice it to say that Uncle Josh Spruceby"-the play and the players is so distinctly different as to be in a class by itself and deserved the adverse reception which is received.
 Even the orchestra made miserable failure in attempting airs from the popular operas and the band-well, si- lence is golden. The vaudeville num- bers were such as to cause a blush of shame to an entertainment committee from the back woods. There were no redeeming features, and Uncle Josh Spruceby'' should be relegated to the attic and the manuscript laid away to mold and furnish food for the inhabi- tants thereof.

Orange town court yesterday morning. Several witnesses were brought forth by the state and then Attorney Bush rested. Lawyer Penney moved that the case be dismissed for lack of evil dence.
 Prosecuting Attorney Bush opposed the dismissal. He said that it was ab- surdly impossible that an accident should cause a fire to start up under the caves. MT. Bush's arguments were strong and decided. His entire argu- ment was centered on the actions of Bradley, and before taking his seat he said that he would recommend the dis charge of Cartwright, as the state could not obtain sufficient evidence in his case
 Ex-Judge Blydenburgh, associate counsel for the defense. then rose to withdraw the motion for a dismissal of the case. He was evidently much ex- cited by the statements of Attorney Bush, and declared that, in order to clear his client in the eyes of the citi- zens as we'll as before the court, he wished further trial.
 Edwin c. Bradley and Ebert w. Cartwright were arrested for setting fire to Bradley's shop on Lester street, West Haven, on the morning of Decem- Der 12. Both men are out on bonds of s1,G00.

I, NOT LEGALLY DEAD.

On December ,29 Lawyer Burton Mansfield, representing Edgar B. Bliss, of Chicago, brother of Frank B. Bliss, applied for an order of the court declar- ing the brother dead, alleging that nothing had been heard from him with in seven years. It was set forth in the application that Frank B. Bliss resided In New Haven about 1876.
 The hearing for the matter was as signed for yesterday morning, but in the meantime another brother of Frank B. Bliss sent letter to the court an llouncing that he had received a letter from F. B. Bliss in 1900. At that time the missing man was in the west. AL though nothing has been heard since that time, 1t was impossible to adjudi- cate the man as deceased, and the ap- plication will be withdrawn.
 The application was brought only to clear the title to some property in New Haven ill which Frank B. Bliss has a remote interest. 's@-<:. -..,

CLINTON EDITOR APPEALS

Henry West Vail, editor of the Clin- ton Item, formerly a well-knoWn New Haven newspaper man, who was ar- rested on complaint of Harrison Phelps, a welI-known grocer of that town, was fined s4 and costs by Justice Holcomb Jones yesterday morning for assault, breach of the peace and abusive lan- glage. ." ~.
 The trial attracted a large crowd. Attorneys Arthur Calef, of Middletown, and Thomas D. Coulter, of Essex, rep resented Phelps, and Vail appeared for himself. ~
 Phelps stated that the Clinton Item printed matter referring to him which he considered offensive in a so-called fred pepper edition," which appeared soon after the opening of the new year. It appears that Vail held Phelps re- sponsible for putting a quantity of red pepper on his stove some time previ- ously. -;, z" ..
 Phelps said he went to Vail's office for a retraction and that Vail struck him with hatchet and put him out of the place.
 Some witnesses corroborated Phelps testimony, and a physician who dressed the hatchet wound told what he knew about it.
 Vail and his witnesses testified that Phelps drew a revolver. Phelps ad- ritted that he carried a gun, but de- clared it was not loaded. Vail declared that he seized the hatchet with the in tention of using the handle.
 When the fines were imposed Vail promptly appealed the case to the April term of the superior court.
 HoLADAY COMPANY BANKRUPT. The A. E. Holaday company, which does a manufacturing business in fac- tory on Orchard street, has been ad- Judged bankrupt and the papers in the case have been forwarded to Judge John w. Banks in Bridgeport, where the hearings on the matter will take place.
 Referee Newton, of the local bank ruptcy court, was disqualified in this case because he had given legal advice to the officers of the Holaday company in regard to this matter.
