yAUDEyILLE.

As has already been announced Sat urday night will see the finish of the present seasons variety offerings and in view of that fact Manager P0li has decided to endeayor to fill in the want felt so long, that of an adequate sum- mer entertainment and with that pur- pose in mind has made arrangements with Lawrence McGill, one of the pest known of the younger stock managers in the theatrical field. to produce a series of plays for the balance of the summer. Of course the idea is large ly an experiment but MT POli has the utmost confidence in the willingness of the townsfolk to give their support to the scheme when it's aim is made known to them. Once week some of the best plays in contemporary dra- matic literature will be presented by a company composed of players of estab- lished reputation and recognized aDll- ity. These presentations will be made with all the scenic embellishments necessary for the proper staging of the pieces and an entirely new and com plete set of scenery will be built for each play. The scale of prices will remain unchanged and the time for ringing up the first curtain will con tinue as now in use. Arrangements have been made to see that the thea ter is pleasantly decorated and venti- lated As soon as possible a corps of electricians will be engaged to install an elaborate system of fans and an immense perfume atomiZer will prob ably be put in place by Riker,. the New York perfumer. No expense will be spared to make the Jacques the favOrite resting place and amusement resort ill the vicinity during the warm months.
 The company which will number eighteen will be headed by Miss Grace Hayward in the capacity of leading woman and Earl Simmons and Came ron Clemmons both rising young ar tists will between them look after the male leaders The other people in the organization come to Waterbury with the most fattering press notices from other cities and the management IS proud of the selections made by Mr McGilI.
 The first weeks offering will be a splendid revival of Hall Gaines '-fhe Christian" with Miss Hayward as Glory Quayle, Cameron Clemmons as Horatio Drake and Mir Simons as John Storm. Both Miss Hayward and MT Simons have played the role assigned them with conspicuous success in the west. Prices are 1O. % and % cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, lauies 10.

 Austin and Staples, whose horses by this time were nearly wild with excite ment. rushed up the steep together. The boar was standing with the foam flying from his jaws, on piece of level ground. and after . few short trottina steps charged Austin, but in doing go passed directly across Staples path. giving him splendid chance, which was not thrown away. He made thrust with his spear and struck the boar. At the same moment Austfn's spear struck across his horses chest, and to avoid coming end on over the boar, he had to force his nag to jump over it.
 This, however, he did not succeed in doing, and the next moment over they went, horse and rider, and to our hOr. TOT we saw our friend lying on the ground directly in front of the now en. ragged and bleding boar. which 1t once made furious charge at him.
 Had I not been in measure prepared and close by when this occurred, there would have been but very poor chance for Austin; but, fortunately. was just in time to prevent any such catastro phe. Just as the boar had got to within half dozen feet of him, drove my spear deep into his side.
 This was the gallant boar's last charge. He reeled, sank to his knees. rolled over. and gasping out his last sobs, was gathered to his fathers.-N. Y. Waclr1v

FACTS ABOUT GRAPE FRUIT
The First Brought Into This Coun-
 try Was the Coarse-Grained Shaddock.

As estimable lady lately remarked that fondness for the grape fruit re. quired change of heart and growth of grace, both of which she had ex. perienced in fullest measure. The fact remains, however. says the New York Times, that without other therapeutic value than would reside in any citrus fruit washed down by a draught oi water from one of the absurd quashI cups which were used a generation ago and which it was believed by the cred ulous must be extremely beneficial be cause they imparted "the bitter prin ciple" to water held in them, and witt natural repvgnance to any combina ton of acidity and bitterness to over come, most people like the grape fr-;ii very much and find it both az. 2 and refreshing for any one of the { meals of the day This is not an af fectation, like an alleged preference for brut wine; nor the toleration oi something invested with superstitioui value as corrective of morbid condf tions. The average person really likes the grape fruit, and it has come tc stay. To raise fine varieties should become and perhaps is already much more proftable than the growing O, fine oranges. It's possibilities are be yord estimate.
 The first of its kind brought into this country was the impossible shaddock- coarse grained. pumpkin-colored. acrid bitter, tenacious of it's rind. often juice less and generally failure from the point of view of the table for other than decorative purposes. It was short lived as a commodity admitting of i'm. portation. The grape fruit followed tentatively and modestly. as if know. ing that 1t had the reversed prestige of the shaddock to overcome. It was admired with suspicion, tested. accept ed and then welcomed as an invaluable addition to the luxuries of the table. The market now eagerly absorbs at rel atiyely high prices all that can be secured, mourns the of season when only the reserve in cold storage fs available and welcomes the advance couriers of each new crop almost as enthusiastically as the first bale Of cotton is welcomed on the southern exchanges.
