LEARNING CARD CATALOGUES.
Result of Efforts to Teach Children at
 Public Library.

Result of Efforts to Teach Children at
 Public Library.
 During the school vacation number of children were instructed in the use of the card catalogue in the young peo- ple's room at the public library. The instruction took the form of a game the object of which was to have the chil- dren find the title and shelf location of a given book, having subject and au- thor's name given, or the author of a given book whose title was known.
 The instruction was not forced on the children, whose participation in the game was entirely optional
 It was somewhat discouraging to find that many children were entirely unac- quainted with the sequence of the let- ters of the alphabet, and so are unable to use intelligently the directories, cat alogues, dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc, whose arrangement is alphabeti- cal.
 The alphabetical arrangement is so commonly used in reference books and in business systems that it would seem as if knowledge of the order in which the letters follow each other should be an indispensable part of the education of every child.
 Following are the names of the chill dren whose papers were correct:
 Part 1-Marguerite Draper, Marion J. Porter, Sadie l.. Cohn, Jacob Neveleff Mary Stockwell Hymen Levin, Russell O'Connor, Josephine M. Flanagan, Wal ter Powers, James Leon Draper John R. Flanagan and David Brewer.

Ne,r Haven Theater.

Ramsay Morris great play "The Ninety and Nine" was presented to a standing room only at the New Haven tteater last night. Not religious play, as it's title might suggest, it carries a moral story that teaches a strong tem- perance lesson and founded as it is in q country town of the middle west, it's pretty love story, with it's intrigues, plots and counter plots, carries a wholesome air of the flower ladened prairies of Indiana. Miss Bayonne Whipple, who plays the part of Ruth Blake, is a charming girl and somes honestly by her ability for she is of a family of talented actors and has been before the footlights since she was a child of tender years. Her Ruth Blake is a. fine piece of acting. The performance will be given again to- day. matinee and night and big busi- ness can be looked for.

oTHr NAN OF HEIR CHOICE"

THE MAN OF HEIR CHOICE.
 "How in the world did anyone get such an effective title for play as 'The Man of Her Choice?' remarked a prominent citizen to a reporter for the Courier yesterday. "The title has set every woman in town wild with curios- ity to see what the play is about, and think the husbands should organize for protection against dramatic writers who stimulate a woman's already ab- normal curiosity,
 The story of "The Man of Her Choice" is one that will appeal to everyone. It tells of the noble and un- selfish love of the beautiful daughter of a wealthy Wall street broker, for a manly young fellow, who is one of her fathers employees. This loving pair are separated before their marriage at the very moment when they are the hap piest and it is not until the end of the play that they are reunited. Edward M. Simmonds, the author and manager, has mounted the piece in lavish man. ner, and has secured a cast seldom equalled in this line of entertainment. An actual wedding ceremony, a view of the operating room alt Bellevue hos pital and a dock scene at the Liberty street ferry are few of the many scenes introduced in "The Man of Her Choice which comes to the New Ha- ven theater Thursday, Friday, Satur- day nights this week. Matinee Satur- day.

the Blue was made possible because OF

their strongest and most dangerous rival.

HATCHETITEs ARE CRIPPLED.
Four Men Report Hardly Fit to
Practice for Georgetown Game.


The George Washington football camp
was thrown Into a state OF gloom last
night when several Of the men reported
with injuries which are apt 10 put them
on the hospital list at any moment. Glib
son, Field. LOrandO, and LcariOni were
all hurt IN the severe scTimmage on Sat
urday. and as a result the team can not
help being IN q quasi crippled state for
the Thanksgiving Day game with George
town.
This IS regarded as particularly unfor-
tunate by the followers Of the team, as
az no other time this season have any
of the regulars been out Of the game on
account Of injuries, and the fact that the
accidents turned up this late presages
misfortune IN the most important game
