FRANCIS WILSON IN COUSIN
 BILLY.h

Those who have seen Francis Wilson in Cousin Billy,' the Clyde Fitch play in which Charles Frohnan will pre- sent him at the Hyperion theater. Thursday evening, declare him even funnier than he was in his palmiest comic opera days. As a laugh -provok- CT, Francis Wilson has been almost unriyaled during the score of years he has held the centeref the stage, and 1t seemed, for a long time, that his au- diences would not accept him in any role other than that of his inimitable "Caddie, the rogue in perennial "Er- minie,, a character that he has played nigh upto 1000 nights. It remained for Charles Frehman to radically change the field of MT. Wilson's work by bar ring out the comedians incidental singing altogether, and confining his comic efforts to speech and action sole ly, on the skeleton text especially pro- vided by Clyde Fitch under the title of Cousin. Billy" Experiment that all this really was, MT. Wilson scored as a hit that will tally with that of his s"Caddie," and this our, theatergoers are now soon to realize and enjoy. ~

woMENs CIVIC STUDY CLUB.

The recently formed Women's Civic Study club which had it's first meeting in Center church chapel on Wednesday afternoon, in indeed very much in earnest and is the outcome of efforts made by Dr. Newman Smyth to in- terest the woman of the city in the matter of municipal government, and the people of the city. Dr Smyth made the opening address of the meeting briefly its aims and purposes, and the great good to be accomplished by the influence of study along civic lines by the women of the city. He also spoke of the good the club might do, in an indirect way, to clear the muddy waters of the political pool. However the club doesn't set itself up as a club of reformers, although the men friends of the members will doubtless be ad- vised as to the way he should vote in future elections. ...E
 Seriously if the club by earnest study can do any practical work toward mak- ing conditions, whether political or social, better for the people of this city, it will be done The members have gone into the work in earnest, and plans are big for the future. Miss Alice M. Bacon was made president of the club; Miss Elizabeth Whitney, secretary; Mrs. William l.. Phelps. Miss Edith Woodsey, Mrs. Fairchild and Mrs, John .C. SchWab, vice-presidents. On the program committee are Mrs. James Kingsley Blake, Miss Teresina Peck, Miss Mary Smyth. Miss Whitney and Miss Edith Wioolsey. The club will meet monthly until June, the next one to be held Thursday afternoon, April B. Some of the subjects for study stg- gested by the president, and which give an idea Of the lines along which the club will work, were: "City and County Government ? ''The History of New Haven ..Amusements,' Z Churches, i 4.Schools, Public, Parochial, Private,'' "Tenements, Their Owners and Tenants Politics and Elections.
 Each subject will be studied for a month, and the women of the club will make personal Investigations regarding the work.
 The list of members is, of course, small as yet, but it is a notable one and includes: Miss Alice M. Bacon, Mrs. Arthur T. Hadley, Mrs. Lewis H. English, Mrs. H. W. Farnam, Mrs. Eli Whitney, Mrs. William L. Phelps, Miss Teresina Peck, Miss Edith Woolsey, Mrs James Blake, Miss Mary Smyth, Miss Elizabeth Whitney, Mrs. Irving Fisher Mrs. Charles Morris.

LADY TEA zT,E l, ,

It is somewhat remarkable that the possibilities of "The School for Scan- AdaL" from a musical comedy stand point, were not realized prior to Lady Teazle,' Hyperion theater. as we now know her in the delightful comic opera atmosphere in which beautiful Lillian Russell has placed the gay lady, aided by all the glory of s. $. Shubert's idea of modern stage craft. There are a good many of our classic comedies that contaain mighty good material for pro- ductions of the Lady Teazle' type, and the wonder is that some of our clever playwrights have not appreciated the fact ere this We hope John Kendrick Bangs and A. Baldwin Sloane, who gave us Lady Teazle," Twill now devote their genius in the construction of a melody version from another of the old comedies. Why not "She Stoops to Conquer,'s AS in a Looking Glass; etc? Seats on sale tomorrow. F

Hinged on One Vote-Re-eOunt Gave
 Senator Hogan Majority of Twelve
 Mistake in Count was in Hartford's
 Best ward--ParaIIeI Case of Years
 Ago.
 Contested election cases have been so infreauent in the Connecticut senate that a word of comment might be worth while. The contest this session for the seat held by Senator Matthew Hogan, of the Third district, was made by Frank A. Hagarty, the republican candidate for the office. MT. Hogan was declared elected on a majority or one vote. There were & couple of con tested bollots on which MT. Hagarty claimed the election. Instead of ruling on the legality of the ballots in ques- tion the senate ordered recount in the district. This gave Senator Hogan a majority of twelve, authorizing his re- tention of the seat. The curious fact concerning the recount was the error that was found in the Seventh ward, which takes in Charter Oak Hill, with its kid glove" population. In. that ward no one anticipated an error in the election realms. But her discrepancy involved a dozen votes or more, dimin- ishing MT. Hagerty's majority by that s,, ko The inaapUraPV of counters, even in the best wards of a city, ought to be guarded against, and probably will be when machine voting is adopted. The Hogan contest, which hinges on one vote at the start, recalls the Hills-Sumner contest of 1878 in the old First district George G.. Sumner, who was then practitioner at the Hartford bar took his seat in a, majority of one over the republican candidate, the Hon. John R. Hills, also of Hartford. Two ballots, which had been thrown out on account of defec-i tive spelling, were claimed by the re- } publicans. The contest in the senate, which contained such men as John L.. Houston of Enfield, William D. Bishop of Bridgeport, president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, Oliver Hoyt of Stamford, Lyman w. Coe of Torrington, James Huntington of Woodbury and Frederick Miles of Salisbury, afterwards member of con gress from the Fourth district, was one of marked intensity. The Hon. Alfred E. Burr was at the height of his polit- ical power at the time and entered the lists in behalf of Ex-Leutenant Sum- ner with all the tact and shreWdness which he possessed. Tt will make you the mayor of Hartford he said one day to Sumner if you are thrown out of the senate.' Tn the end Mr. Sumner was unseated, as MT. Burr had predicted. The mayoralty election a few months afterwards placed MT. Sumner at the head of the municipal government in Hartford for two years It also placed him in line for prefer ment in the state. Senator Hills was afterwards reelected to the senate and has held leadership in the republican party for twenty odd years. There have been no election contests in the senate besides the two that have talk en place in the Hartford district for thirty vars or more. Contests in the house have not been infrequent. Some of them have been spirited; some of them tame, the sinews of war not al- ways being at hand

Nem-Haven Theater.

Alone in the World a new and well written comedy drama by Hal ReiI, made its appearance at the New Haven theater last night, and will hold the boards tonight, Wednesday mat inee and evening. The play comes with the unanimous approval of the press and public wherever it has appeared, and the impression it made on the au- dience last night at the New Haven theater wives it a double stamp of ap- proval. As the season lengthens G. B. Bunnell seems (if it were possible) to strengthen the attractions at his house, and the engagement of Alone in the World" is another instance of his de- sire to give the people of this city the best of bona fide companies on the road. The play is made up of four
 acts and seven scenes. It is a story
 well written and true to nature, and has for it's chief character young lad
 whose trying experiences and earnest
 endeavors to do right endear him at once to the hearts of the audience. The
 part is cleverly played by that charm
 ing young actress, Lillian Rosewood.
 The telling part of her acting is that
 she never seems to forget that she is
 Robin Hadley, and above all she never
 oyerdoes the part Simple ard boy like
 she plays the part of the young hero
 from first to last. Frank Wesley, a
 man of the world, is strikingly DOT trayed by Edmund Mulkay, while John
 Warren, the cashier of the bank, and Robert Reynolds, the banker, are ably
 sustained by Robert Cain and Thomas s, Guise. The part of Virginia Arnold, Ruby Warren and Madge Dilfe are each cleverly executed by Lillian Lam easter, Gertrude Stanley and Pearl E. Abbott. while the humorous part of the play is ably sustained by Eddie F.. Bowers and Edith Bowers. The scenery is worthy of special mention, especial ly that of the water front scene in the first act, which truly realistic and we'll worth seeing. The bank scene in the third act is striking and exciting, while the various climaxes are execut- ed in such a manner as to draw forth the hearty applause of the audience. "Alone in the World" is play that should be seen by every man, woman
 and child, who loves to see a drama
 of sterling worth and merit

NAT GOODWIN.

E The management of the Hyperion theater is making extra efforts to give to Nat c. Goodwin. who is to be their guest on Saturday, both matinee and night, reception that will equal, if not exceed that given to other great stars who have visited us this season. His coming may be set down as an event in the theatric annals of the local stage This is further accentuated by the fact that he will offer us two of his best comedies, They are his bright, breezy and catchy classic "A Gilded Fool' and '"rhe Usurper,' a skilfully drawn drama that is up to the minute in it's crisp, chatty dialogue and interesting situations. Mr. Goodwin will have a cast supporting him that numbers many players whose reputation on the stage ranks second to none. Both pieces will be handsomely environed and transcendentally beautifully set.
