DANBURY. WAITS.
Held in New York are Willing to
 Walk Back.

New York, Feb 1O.-Wilfred Knowles, 15 years old; Charles O'Shea, 14, and William TOmaino, q year younger grew tired of their uneyent- full lives at Danbury. Conn. Knowles thought that life held out, more ex- citement than that afforded on the small farm his father conducts; OShea had the same opinion concerning working as a stripper in a genuine imported cigar factory" while To- maino did not think that assissng his father to run fruit stand was the best life had to offer him.
 They resolved to come to New York city and visit Thomas Carroll, who once lived in Danbury The trio told of their experiences in the Children's court Wednesday. They were all glad to occupy the warm beds furnished by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
 According to the story told they left Danbny Monday night by freight. and from that moment never knew q happy minute. Nobody in New York city they could meet knew "Tom'' Carroll, and the only friend they found was q policeman at 13Sth street who directed them to the headquarters of the society,",
 Young Knowles said if the court would allow him he would walk back to Danbury, OShea and TOmaino ad- mtted that they would like to go back hut they rather feared the nature of their reception.
 All three were held until their par. entS can he heard from.

IN HE POLICE COURT.
stsry sf Smeksr h csnjssss Hall
 Tsld h Cesst Ts.Day.

The true story of the fracas that took place during smoker by the La. fayette Athletic club of Brooklyn in Congress hall Saturday night was told in the city court to-day before Judge Burpce, when Thomas Brick, Thomas GDonnell, Michael Dillon. Harry Gall- way and Bernard Thompson were put on trial for breach of the peace. They were defended by Attorney Kelley.
 John Devereau, known, also as Dixie Devereau," was the first wit ness called. He testified that he went to the smoker with friend. Sooh after an argument took place between Dillon and Thompson. Some one in the back of the hall tried to get at them and Harry Galway tried to make peace. Devereau seeing trouble ahead. made the best of his way to- ward the door and was struck on the head with chair, knocked down anG some fifteen or twenty fellows jumped all over him. This was the beginning of the fracas. and so large was the crowd engaged that witness could dis tinguish only Dillon and Thompson. There was no mistake about them. He also saw Patrick Heating trying tc make peace, but some one knocked him down with q chair also. splitting his eyebrow and giving him genera doing up. Chandeliers were pulled down. chairs were broken and used as missiles, windows were torn ont and the frames crushed in, and there was terrible and general confusion.
 Under cross-eXamination Deverea, said he formerly lived in the Brooklyn district, and that the row was nothing less than a fight between Brooklyn crowd and q Baldwin street crowd. He saw Dillon strike some one on the nose with q chair. This unknown fellow was going to Patrick Keating's assist. aGcc.
 Joseph PerrellO took part in Il friend ly bout before the row began. His antagonist was Lawrence Leahey. also known as Chick" Perrcllo got struck with a chair in the eye. He expected he would be killed if he remained if the hall and he fought his way out. Harry Galway said there was ilice time there for while until Dillon anC Thompson got wrangling. Then Kcat ing pulled out knife and said Inc would stab anyone in the hall that dared interfere with him. That seemed to be the signal for a general TOW, fol he was instantly pulled down ant knocked about the floor. Galway ref creed one of the friendly bouts. This completed the case and Bricl and Galway were let go and the Oth CTS were each fined $5 and costs an( put on probation for thirty days.
 The complaints against Patrick an(
 Michael Heating and Joseph Hartl!

Lew Dockstader,s Mlnstrels.

Fresh from a months engagement at a Broadway, New York theatre. Lew Dockstader's Great Minstrel Company cannes to the Montgomery Theatre Tuesday matinee and night.
 The Lew Dockstader company num- bers nearly seventy people. many of that company being top-notchers of minstrelsy.
 This will be an engagement not of the ordinary. for this is without a doubt one of the greatest minstrel or ganiZations that America has ever Seen. Lew Dockstader has accumulated a vast amount of wealth in the minstrel busi- ness by giving the public more than It's moneys worth, and this season he has put on the road a company that cannot be exce1led for number and talent.
 Minstrelsy is one form of amusement that never tires any one if produced by the original Lew Dockstader method. It appeals to all classes of people and when given in tn eform that Lew Dock stader always presents it cannot fail 70 be popular amusement for many years to come.
 The New York papers were all very enthusiastic over the performance of this company which was criticized quite freely as a sure antidote for the blues.

Miss Kennedy in "Mnxda.,

Not for years has the going public taken so great an interest in the serious drama. Shakespeare, Ibsen and Shaw were never so popular as at the present time, and it will be a welcome announcement that Miss Elizabeth Kennedy will present Su- dermann's great dramatic masterpice "Magda."
 This gifted artist has become such a great favorite throughout the country that anything that she might select would prove welcome. However, she be- lieves in varying her roles, and
 Mazda" will give her opportunities that could not be found in Captain links" or even in AS You Like It."
 Miss Kennedy, who will be seen at the Montgomery Theatre Monday night In Sudermann's great drama believes that a star should always be surround ed by a strong supporting company in order that a well-rounded performance may be given. In pursuance of this Idea, she has this season engaged the strongest company that she has ever had in her support.
 Charles W. King, who is to play the role of Colonel Schwartze, Is one of the best knewn and most capable character actors in this country. Edward R. Mawson has starred in The Sorrows of Satan" 'The Pride of Jennico" and other plays of importance. Francis Gaillard has been with Richard Mans field and has for years been a great favorite through the South. Isabel Egremont came to this country with Charles Hawtrey and made a great hit in his last production. Helen Holland. Anna Morrison, Florence Lytelle, Mario Gaillard, Henry Marshall and Charles Morton complete the roster of this company. It Is rarely the case that such a notable company of players goes on tour in support of a star.

The suseeptIbIe Banmnm.

The salient point for a housekeepeP to remember when she happens to have bananas in the house which are showing any tinge Of green, says an authority on this useful fruit, Is that she must treat the fruit pretty much as she would delicate child. The banana Is particularly susceptible to chill, whether coming from a draft og from actual low temperature. The ef- feet of a chill on bananas Is to render them more or less insipid to the pail ate; hence they should be placed in a room where the temperature ts never below 56 degrees or above 65 desrees F. Above all things. they require te be protected from a draft

 Tuesday matinee and night, Lew Dockstader's Minstrels.
 Wednesday night. Paula Edwardes in "winsome Winnie!s
 Thursday night, James J Jenries
 Friday night, "The Marriage of Kitty"
 Bijou Theatre,
 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night and Wednesday mstinee' "Fabio Romani."
 Thursday,. Friday and saturday nights and Saturday matinee: The Ar mold Stock Company.
 What can one say of week so re- plete with good things at the theatres of Montgomery?
 It would seem that managers have discovered that Montgomery patronizes the playhouses better than any town of it's size in the South and that they are drawing heavily on this loyalty 10 good amusements.
 With every night but Saturday taken at the Montgomery Theatre and the Bijou announcing eight performances theatre goers will find opportunity for diversion this week.
 Moreover, we are to have some pro- auctions of high order that are new to Montgomery. Nearly the entire gamut of theatrical attractions is cov- cred by the bills this week There Is serious drama, light drama, musical comedy, light comedy, minstrels, spec tacular and repertoire. Add to these the coming of our own champion pugi- list Jim Jeffries in ''Davy Crockett" and everybody ought to be satisfied.
 We have watched the development of Miss Elizabeth Kennedy with pleas- ure and the prediction Is here made that hera production of Suderman's great drama 'Magda" will be most sat- isfying to those who are interested in the more serious works of the stage.
 If one chooses musical comedy-and this is the popular thing in Montgom- ery-he will not overlook Paula Ed wardes in "Winsome Winnie" It is a big production, one of the greatest performances of its kind on the road. Paula Edwardes is remarkably pretty and successful young person. 1 She will bow her dainty head the first time to a Montgomery audience, and Montgomery will take her to its heart of hearts.
 Lew Dockstader's minstrels are no ordinary sort. The usually discrimi- hating papers of Memphis declare that Dockstader's show is the best ever seen there. They come here from New | Orleans where they made the town sit up.
 The return of '@rhe Marriage of Kit l ty" reminds us of the death of poor Bettina Gerard whose meteoric career would fill a book. Nothing finer has been seen this season than the clever production of this comedy by Miss Ge- rard and MT. Figman about two months ago.
 Miss Marion Manola, an eminent &C., tress has succeeded Miss Gerard and no other changes have been made in the excellent company.
 Down at the Bijou we are to have four productions of Pablo Romani," by a company that lays claim to ex- cellence and the Arnold Stock Company will return the latter part of the week
