'"The Charity Ball." as performed by the stock company at the Bijou theater this week, easily takes rank with many a higher priced play that has visited our city. The work of the company is excellent. At the matinee to-day a souvenir photograph of one of the mem bers of the company will be given to all who attend.
 Commencing next Monday the com pany will appear in Count Leo Iostoi's s great Russian play, "The Resurrec- ton" a play depicting the horrors of Russian prison life in Siberia.
 THE RESURRECTION.
 The stock company at the Bi1ou the ater will present next week the power- ful Russian play by Count Leo Tolstoi, entitled The Resurrection. The play was made famous in this country by Miss Blanche Walsh, and was endorsed by the newspaper critics as being one of the strongest and most interesting plays ever presented.
 Miss Gertrude Shipman will be seen in the part of Maslova and Lawrence B. McGill in the part of Prince Dimitri The great courtroom scene, where Maslova is condemned to Siberia, is in- tense in interest, The scenes have been prepared with great care, special atten- tion being paid to the famous Siberian prison scene in which the men and women eonvicts are being driven across country over the snow and ice of that far northern land.
 The play is so dramatic that it keeps an audience spellbound. A fine vein o1 comedy is interwoven. Matinees will giy sn daily.

sARAH BERNHARDr.

A special from Boston last night says: Madame Sarah Bernhardt, the worlds greatest tragedienne, was hon. ored tonight by the Gercle Fraicais of Harvard university who attended the performance of "Phedre" in a body at the Boston Theatre, and after the final curtain went on the stage and presented to Madame Bernhardt the Cercle Francais gold medal.
 This medal is one of the most distin- guished honors conferred by any soci- ety of Harvard university, and has been invariably reserved for eminent men in letters and art who have ap- peared before the Cercle in the James Hagen Hyde course of lectures. Only onee before in the history of Harvard university has 1t been given to anyone connected with the stage. The reel pient on that occasion was Mons. Con- stance Coquelin, who was with Mad anne Bernhardt on her last preceding American tour. This is also the first time the medal has ever been given to a woman, and 1t is inscribed to indicate that 1t is presented to Madame Bern hardt in homage and recognition of her services to French life and history, letters and art. The previous reel pients have been:
 NM. Rene Doumic, Edouard Rod, Henri de Regnier, Gaston Deschamps, G. Coquelin, H. Leroux, F. BBrune- tiere, of the Academic Francaise, Leo pold Mabilleau, Anatole Croy Beaulieu and Rene Millet.

RUNNING FOR OFFICE

Running for Office" is probably one of the most successful musical come- dies of the present day. According to the New York Eyeping Journal, Run ming for Office is "real hit" Not only the Journal, but a score of the New York papers endorsed the play and company as one of the best things of the season. The Sun said: There is more snap and ginger in one single act than in all the rest of the musical comedy shows of the season in the ag- gregate." Nothing but praise was giv- en the production during its long run in New York, and it's long season on the road last year. The play, with an immense cast and chorus, will be seen at the New Haven Theatre on Thurs day, Friday and Saturday nights, Feb ruary 1, and 8, and will be presented with the original production under the management of Sam H. Harris, who also controls the destinies of dozen big musical successes. There will be a matinee Saturday.

THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE.
 The new melodrama, 'The Confess sions of Wife" by Owen Davis, will be seen at the New Haven Theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, nights of next week, and at the mati- nee Wednesday. "The Confessions of a Wife" does not have to depend alone on it's scenes and incidents to gain ap- probation It is a play, first, last and always! It appeals, it absorbs, it thrills and it instructs. When one has accomplished this there is nothing ap- paFently that has been left undone. Persons who attend the theatre nowa- days do not care to be bored by spec taoular effects or idle harangue on the stage, They want more than this, and in "The Confessions of 8 Wife" all these tastes have been catered to.

the Secretary of State finds that the
bill has been approved, he will so
certify to the Governor, who will issue
proclamation officially announcing
the fact; then the several sums ap-
propriated will be available from the
state treasury.
During the past 15 months, certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness have been issued
to the employees Of those state institu-
tions provided for the care and edu-
cation of the wards of the state. These
certificates are held by the banks and
by private individuals in various
parts of the state who cashed them for
the owners with the expectation that
the state would pay interest on them.
Now that the bill has been approved,
the state treasurer will call in these
certificates and will pay them at their
face value, as he is not authorized to
pay any interest.

This wise man diversifies his farming.
Ere early fall silo's built, in which
The fast ripening corn, cut all to
shreds,
Is snugly stored, to feed in wintry
weather.
The land in corn, unturned by plow,
in fall
Is sown to wheat, that, next year
harvested,
Shall give valued food for household
needs,
And farm as we'll; but none for
foreign lands.
A windmill, large and very strong, is
built
With iron chopper thereunto attached
To crush the grain for all the feeding.
The months pass quickly by and lo!
the farm,
So long run down, how wears the
brightest look
OF general thrift, with buildings
painted,
Fences in repair, while shrubs adorn
The spacious lawn, and climbing roses
Deck the home, with vines for shade
and flowers.
Meanwhile the generous soil has
richer grown
From down-turned clover sod and
compost heap.
The legal day at last comes on, but
brings
No dread. 1t sees the mortgage salts
fed
With money earned and saved; not
being spent
For unnecessary goods, or harmful
things.
All mortgagee, no matter who thou

If twas thy hope to get that goodly
home,
For half its worth, 'twere perchance

And others loaning gold with like

Should not forget that often ye may

To reckon with the COW, ere land is sold.

Is heard the song of praise, heart

OF glad deliverance, and of thanks to

For all the creatures of His providence
That minister unto the wants of man,
Chiefest of all, the tlnatchless, high
