surround him. This resulted in Owens being transferred at the first opportun- ity to San Quentin penitentiary. The latter prison is where the most desper- ate criminals are confined, and life at McNell's is bed of roses compared to that at San Quention, where Owens spent two years pending his appeal.
 Louis K. Pratt defended Owens and was so thoroughly convinced of his cli- ent's innocence that he has labored un- ceasingly in his behalf, defraying the greater part of the expenses himself, and receiving nothing for his services. Attorney Pratt took an appeal to the Circuit court court of appeals and se- cured an order for new trial owing to the charge given the jury by the lower court. This is the trial that has just resulted in acquittal-t that Owens killed Christianson in self-defense. Owens IS covered with scars that he will carry to his grave; marks of the butcher knife wielded by Christianson when he attacked Owens.

The 20tb annual concert and ball of the Waterbury Burns club. which was to be held on the evening of January p. had on account of inclement weather to be postponed and will be held on the evening of February Tn City hall. This is the first time that one of these concerts has been post poned and will cause |, change of pro gram. as some of the people from New York have other engagements. but the committee are prepared to fill their places with other talent which is equal and just as sure of giving satiS- faction. Charles Craig. pupil of Mir Sorlies. who has appeared here before in Scotch and Irish dancing. will take the place of the two girls. He has the reputation of being as good or better than his teacher. so all who attend can expect something good. William H. Davis. Miss F. Juliette Wilson and Miss Maud Marvin. with Miss Helen Merrill. nccompanist. will ren. der their part as originally intended. Nations orchestra will furnish music and Prof Rnnncll will prompt for the dancing which will follow the con. cert.

"HUMAN-KIND."

A genuine draiuatic novelty may be
 looked for in the coming production
 of Ullie Akerstrom's great moral
 drama, '.Human-kind," which will be
 produced at Jacques opera house on
 sunday, February ,. It is totally un-
 like ally drama upon the stage to- day. It teaches great lesson, yet
 Withal is not tedious or depressing. It is filled with interesting situations. serious descriptions and beautiful stage pictures. The costumes are va
 rled and handsome, and were designed and made under the supervision of the author The cast is composed of tall ehted young people, selected with spe
 cal attention to their ability to de- llver language of high order of eX
 cellence. All have entered into the work with heart and soul, and coached oy Miss Akerstrom personally, will be fitted to give performance equal to that of professionals. The story of the play, briefly told, shows the strug- gle of Humanity to escape the snares set for her by Falsehood. Vice and Folly, and shows ill an intensely dra
 matic manner her eventual escape from these worthies by the aid of Con- science, Truth and Humility. There are many sacred songs and cboruses incidental to the play. which have been especially written for it, and which will be sung by the choir of the Church of the Immaculate C0ncep- ton under the direction of Professor Hughes, which is guarantee that the singing will be feature of the l performance. Miss Akerstrom will appear as Mistress Humanity. and her support includes T. II. Benham. r. g. Phelps. and the Misses Mitchell. Xiii roe. Fay. Tobin. MulIaney. Freney and Mollie Curran. who will appear as the herald. The affair is for the benefit of St Mary's Day nursery. Seats may be reserved at Polls Satur- day. February f. The interest already shown in the event indicates a well filled house.

Time enough. I have decided that

 Ut is quite an undertaking" said he You may find new difficulties. Their father is at the chateau "Msieur de Lambert?" I exclaimed. "Msieur de Lambert.

 And I no fear of him." l answered foberly, with a quick sense of alarm.

 Breakfast over. I got a team for the ladies. and. mounting my own horse. rode before them. I began to consider a very odd thing in this love experi- ence. While they were in captivity had begun to think less of Louison and i more of Louise. In truth. one face had faded a little in my memory, the other, somehow. had grown clearer and sweeter. as if by a light borrowed from the soul behind it. Now that saw Louison. her splendid face and figure appealed to me with all the power of old. She was quick. viva i cious. subtle. cunning. aware and proud of her charms. and ever making , the most of them. She. ah. yes. she could play with man for the mere
 pleasure of victory-if she were not ,n ! love with him. This type of woman had no need of'arcument to make me feel her charms. With her the old doubt , had returned to me; for how iong' I ! wondered. Her sister was quite her antithesis-thoushtful, slow, serious. even-tempered. frank. unconscious of i her beauty. and with that wonderful | thing. a voice tender and low and ! sympathetic and full of an eloquence

 And it seems you called her a geante also" I said. "She was quite offended"
 Tt was a compliment" said the girl. She was an Amazon--like the counts statue of Jeanne d'Arc."
 Poor thing! she could not help it." said Louise.
 Well" said Louison. with a sigh of regret, If I ever see her again shall give her five-franc piece"
 There was a moment of silence and she broke it.
 T hope, this afternoon. you will let me ride that horse." said she.
 "On one condition" was my reply. And it is-?"
 That you will let me ride yours at the same time"
 Agreed" was her answer. Shall We go at three?"
 With the consent of the baroness and-and your father said.
 "Father!' exclaimed the two girls. "Your father" I repeated "He is now at the chateau"
 "Heavens!" said Louison.
 What will he say?" said the bar oness.
 T am so glad-n1y dear papa," said Louise. clapping her hands.

Louise, tall and lovely and sedate as ever, stood near me, primping her bonnet.

 Well, what do you think of him?" said Louison. turning to help her.

Our schooner lay some 20 rods off a point. A bateau and six canoes were waiting on the beach, and when we had come to the schooner I unbound the prisoners.

VAUDEVILLE,

\ typical variety bill is that offered at the Jacques this week. Each num- Der entertains in q manner different from the others. yet for all that the program preserves q balance which imperecptibly pleases. In JewelTs Manikins Manager Poli has secured for his headlincr as daintiiy and uniquely pretty an act as ever delighted the lovers of pure novelty. Of course a bill composed altogether of mechanical numbers such as the Manikins would fail to do anything but bore. and that is just tile reason why the supporting features of the show have been made so strong. The Manikins with thei, DiGuant gestures and mannerisms. the artistic unity which is a noteworthy part of the performance and the ninr ble grace of the wee marionettes brings back the days of pa1tomine with all their old fashioned charm. The skill with which the tiny figures are made tO perform the most amazing acts is little short Of marvellous and the grand transformation scene with its bubblinc fountains and brilliant light effects might well bc envie,I in point of care by the stage managers of

THE PIT"

The one sustained note in Frank Norris The Pit" the dramatic yer sion of which will be presented to- night at Polls with Wilton Lackaye aS Curtis Jadwin, is strength. The story itself is one of absorbing inter- est and the dramatization made by Shanning Pollock has caught the spirit of the novel to remarkable degree. The plot tells how young girl, Laura Dearborn, comes to Chicago to live and marries q wealthy real estate owner named Curtis Jadwin. Jadwin is, at the time of his marriage, mid dle-aged man who has won his way in the world and who is respected and honored by all who know him for the integrity of his life. his generosity and his kindness. He is not regular speculator, but only occasionally takes flyer on the board of trade. Little by little. however, the gambling fever seizes him and almost before he knows it he is sucked into the vortex
 His fortune leaps by hundreds of thousands into millions, and the fas. cination of playing the game where every turn of the card is worth a kings ransom finally absorbs him so that he forgets everything else. He neglects beautiful young wife. who is devoted to him: his whole life is ab- sorbed in the nerve-racking, health destroying p:seion of the gambler so that he lives for nothing else. Finally, however. he goes. as hundreds of men before have gone, too far. Luck turns against him, his carefully prepared plans are swept away. a, friend who has been like q brother to him. ruined by his corner. commits suicide. The speculator loses his nerve and in I single day is bankrupted. and the play closes with picture of him and his wife starting west to begin their life over again. The company which Will liam A. Brady has collected to support Mir Lackayc is one of exceptional abii. ity and the panic scene on the floor of the wheat exchange is one of the greatest stage pictures ever present. ed. Prices are 2J, 90, 1J cents and S1.
