Paint Adds Value
 to Property

For every dollars worth of paint good paint-you put on your house, you add several dollars to its value, for the diff ference in price which property in good repair will bring over a shabby building is by no means measured by the actual cost of the improvement.
 In this calculation we have not included the insurance feat- ure-the saving of the property from decay.
 Good paint looks well. pro- tects well, lasts well.
 There are many limitations of paint which do none of these things, yet cost as much or more than straight white lead and linseed oil, the best paint.

Goes South for Winter Manoeuvres
 Without Preliminary Trials
 New York, Dec. 16.-Firing a salute of thirteen guns in honor of Admiral Coghlan, the battleship Connecticut left the Brooklyn navy yard yesterday morning on her maiden voyage. The Connecticut is fully equipped for sea service, and will proceed to Hampton Roads, Va, to take part in the winter manoeuyers of the Atlantic fleet.
 This is the first time that war ves- sel has been sent to sea without pre- liminary trial in deep water A large number of navy yard officials and em- ployes thronged the Cob Dock, and cheered the giant battleshp as she swung out into the channel of the river and proceeded under her own steam.
 Rear Admiral Evans, Admiral Cogh- Ian, William J. Baxter, naval construct or, and several naval officers who have had charge of the building of the vari- ous parts of the Connecticut, were also on the pier to watch her depart.
 The keel of the Connecticut was laid March 10, 1903. The launching took place on September 20, 1904, and she was placed in commission in septem- Der, 1906 Captain w. M. Swift is in command of the Connecticut.

The NIrnleN,

The announcement that "Peck's Bad Boy is to be seen to-day in a nov ing picture of the continuous perform ances at the Nicolet recalls the sen sation created by the original publi- cation of the unique series of sketches by George w Peck, editor of Peck's Sun of Milwaukee, the city of cream bricks and cream beer. Peck was an original character as much so as his son, of whom he wrote. The editors at once jumped into fortune by record ing the comic cavortings of his hope ful, his paper attained a circulation of SO0O00 and the son he became a na- tional humorist and his sketches were quoted everywhere. The dramatiza- ton of "Peck's Bad Boy" pays royalty to this day and turns money into Peck by the peck. Then Peck became gov- ernor of wisconsin and gave the res tive boy rest. When Peck got through being governor he revived the son and the Sun, but the kid had aut- grown his faor the Sun went up when it went down, but Peck had experienc- ed a full measure of successes. and is now a star spouter at county fairs in Wisconsin and adjacent states

which the story is laid. The action takes place in a little town among the foothills of the South Carolina Ale
 ghanies. The gardens in summer are
 beautiful with roses; at the foot of
 wooded cliff winds silver river; atop is shown the Colonial mansion of an
 old-fashioned aristocra which Is about
 to be sold for taxes. The play of chill dren and the animal-Iike revelry of the negroes are hardly interrupted by the dreadful crisis over the question of white supremacy. A weird and spectral element enters through the introduction of the Ku Klux Klan. white-robed night riders terrorizing the country-si Assembled in ghostly mountain cave, by the flicker ing light of torches, they pass a terri ble Judgment upon q negro criminal and then send swift messengers to their North Carolina brethren to join join the anti-carpetbagger revolt.
 In the fourth act is shown the home of the mulatto who was then lieuten- ant governor of South Carolina. Ab- solute social and political equality is the mistaken ideal of this deluded fa- natic. His library is filled with books; the furnishings of his home suggest that a wealthy white mans mansion has been rifled to equip it. The sub ject of his most ambitious dream may be guessed from a steel engraving of the blackamoor Othella and the white Desdamona which hangs above his mantel. Encouraged by the teachings of a northern radical he presumes to demand the hand of the northerner's beautiful daughter-only to learn that the northerner hates and loathes the very idea of such union. The pur- pose of the mulatto to force this odious Is foiled by the sudden en- try of the Ku Klux Klan, Southern steps in to protect the north ern man and his daughter from the effects of social equality" This, the fourth act, is the most absorbing of the play and every person concerned in the practical handling of the negro problem will follow it with breathless interest.

But all the world knows of the Potemkin, the ship which mutinied, sailed the Black Sea with the red flag of revolution at the masthead and bombarded odessa. The Panteleimon is the Potemkin rechristened.
 In the fairway is a hulking pontoon, with feeble cranes tugging intellectual ly-for all in the world like fishing lines caught in snaggs. An endeavor is being made to bring to the surface the Bug When Sebastopol began to reel with rebellion year ago and the forts and ships parked with cannon at one another, the authorities pulled a plug and sank the Bug. She was laden with the deadliest explosives intended for mining, and if a shell had got into her every warship would have been maimed. The Bug is well sunk in the mud at many fathoms depth, and re- fuses to shift.
 On the low lying dung hills beyond the tiered earthworks stand great, gaunt buildings, barracks, with twenty thousand troops in occupation. In the fortress, where the win dows are small and meshed with iron, are ten thousand prisoners, soldiers and sailors, who, under the sharp judg- ment of the drum head, have been found enemies Of their lord the Czar.
 From up the harbor comes the clang of innumerable hammers In the repair ing yards. A row of obsolete torpedoe boats lie on stocks heaved over on their sides.

'QUlNCd1 ADAMS SAW ElH, '
 PURE, RICH AND NATURAL
 The great New England play, Quin- cy Adams Sawyer" comes here to New Haven, for one week, beginning December 31, 1906.
 It is because of it's purity, it's sweet ness, and it's fidelity to nature that this great rural drama, standing alone and individually in it's class, has won unstinted admiration from the great army of playgoers quick to rec ognize and appreciate a piece of stage life that holds the mirror up to na- tTre."
 Quincy Admas Sawyer" is the sort of play that appeals to all classes. City bred folks enjoy the characters and pictures they have known in oth- CT years, the rural folk are pleased with having their own people set be- fore them in the mimic world, and the happy mingling of comedy and pathos please both the devotee of humor as well as the lover of sentiment
 A well selected company, splendid scenery and a careful regard of detail in stage effects go to make up com plete production
