Hyperion Theater.

At the Hyperion tomorrow night, "The Little Stranger" a farce by Michael Morton, new to theatergoers of this city, will receive it's premiere,
 This farce has just closed success ful engagement at the Hackett theater, New York. A long run, which occu- pied most of the season last year at the Criterion theater, London, also stands to the credit of this merry farce.
 The original company, which includes Edward Garratt, the twenty-seven inch high English actor, will be seen when the farce is presented for our theater- goers. This remarkable little comedi- an, who Is well nigh seventeen years of age, makes possible the success of the playwright's idea, which calls upon him to inpersonate a baby of less than two years of age, This little chap, with his baby face and baby voice, is said to make a remarkably handsome in- fant, and to dominate every scene, even up to the moment when he doffs his baby dresses for his midget full dress suit, and walks out of the nurs- cry at the final curtain.

Ne.T Haven Theater.

The very humorous Russell Brothers in the big melodrama, "The Great Jewel Mystery were greeted by large audience at the New Haven theater last night. The play introduces the Russell Brothers, who, as usual. im- .persoEate both male and female Irish characters. These clever players stand alone in their line of female imperson- ations, not only that they are humor- ous but true to nature. They belong to the school of actors made famous by the Harrigan and Hart company, a quality very seldom seen nowadays, but of high order in character come dy.
 The play is handsomely mounted and presented by a capable company. The performance will be repeated to-day, matinee and night,

Polls New Theater.

"Gloria" is the title of a pretty com edy as well as somewhat melodramatic sketch at Polls this week. Patrice, a pretty young lady, has the title role of this western story of the plains. It is away from the ordinary vaudeville act and wonsits way last night strictly on its merits. Max Witte's Sophomore Girls and a Freshman are tremend- ous big hit
 A strong supporting .olio sailed along to popularity, which included Barnold's S dog and monkey show in an entirely new series of feats; Harry Le Clair in character changes, which were a big hit The Buckeye State Four were four young men in a choice selection of songs. Their work was fine. Nessen, Hunter and Nessen, in comedy hoop and club swinging, opened the show and made a good impression. Sidman and Shannon, comedy astrologers, and the electrograh closed the bill with a good series of motion pictures.

JESSIE MAE HALL.

Local playgoers will remember the diminutive actress in the Street Sing CT, better known probably as the daiIl- ty doll comedienne, Miss Jessie Mae Hall. This clever little lady will ap- pear at the New Haven theater with a new play and company, In speaking of her performance of "A Southern Vendetta" the Trenton Gazette has to say; Miss Hall began her local en- gagement at the State Street theater last evening, and was loudly applauded by large and enthusiastic audience The situations with which the play abounds were well conceived and capa- bly, handled by an efficient company, the climaxes at the end of the third and fourth acts being especially eff fective. Miss Hall sang numerous songs that seemed to catch on, for she sang eight before all were satisfied.
 Among the successful the following songs seemed to be especially pleasing Wont You Come Over to My House?" My Old Rag Doll,' q Like You Too, " ''Buzz Saw and the Bee" and My Sea side Girl" All were highly appreciat- ed and vociferously applauded
 Miss Hall will be the attraction dur. ing the convention, and 1t Is safe 10 say that many the delegates will take advantage of the opportunity offered, and visit the New Haven theater while in the city. The engagement begins tomorrow (Thursday, September 20), and pNntip11os 1Ypti1 Gotvrdnv pieyh [ with the usual Saturday matinee

Letters From E. GriswOld and Robert
 clines to Pull Out and Will be on
 Hand To-day.
 That there is friction somewhere in the republican camp, which may break out and cause a rupture when the con- vention assemblies in this city to-day, can be gathered from some of the sto- ries and gossip among the politicians yesterday. The plan for Judge Ullman to nominate Woodruff for governor seems to have met with opposition. Then it is reported that young republi- cans of Hartford are in favor of shelv- ing Woodruff in favor of Lake,
 The supporters of Everitt J. Lake, of Hartford, in his contest with Frank B. Weeks, of Middletown, for the repub- 1 lican nomination for lieutenant govern or were jubilantly confident yesterday of the success of their candidate. They claim he will be nominated on the first ballot at the state convention at the Hyperion theater tomorrow by so large majority as to leave no doubt as to the choice of the republican party of the state for that office Of the 580 delegates in that convention 1t was es- timated that Mir. Weeks would not have 200.
 The game of politics is not without it's amusing features, as the subjoined correspondence between Edward Gris- wold, of Guilford, and Robert o. Eaton, of North Haven will demonstrate. MT. Griswold has been honored many times in the past by his town. He is it's present representative in the legisla- ture, and this year he aspired to the nominationfor senator from the Twelfth district, but his town turned him down and so did the district, and for his de- feat he measurably planes MT. Eaton, who is state central committeeman for the district, Following the meeting of district delegates at Branford Point on September 12 MT. Griswold wrote Mir. Eaton as follows;
 "Guilford Conn, Sept 13, 1906.
 Dear Sir-It Is said that the first law of nature is self-preservation, and it was shown in your successful efforts yesterday. l humbly ask your royal highness if I may be permitted to sit in the gallery at the convention next week and witness your successful man. agement of the Twelfth district in the interests of his royal highness, Robert o. Eaton.
 'E. GRISWOLD." Mr. Eaton's reply was as follows:
 "Montowese, Sept. 1T.
 MT. Dear MT. Griswold- kind card received. Of course, the gallery is open to all who wish to attend the con- vention, although 1t would have been very pleasant if you had only been on the winning side so that you could have seat in the convention.
 Yours very truly,

 DUNHAM WILL BE THERE.
 Sheriff Dunham has been apprwoach- ed by several political friends with the suggestion that he withdraw, for the sake of harmony in the party, from the contest for the shrievalty nomination now, when it is certain that his oppo- nent. Jacob D. Walter, has won two- thirds. of the delegates to the county convention. But Sheriff Dunham firmly declines to pull out. He said yester- dav: 1T have absolutely nothing to say in regard to the situation. The 'conven- ton will clear that up. l shall be there"

 A short time ago we published an ar- ticle recommending to our readers the new discovery for the cure of dyspep- sia, called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and the claim they made regarding the wonderful curative properties of the remedy have been abundantly sustain ed by the facts. People who were eau tious about trying new remedies ad- vertised in the newspapers and were finally induced to give Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets a trial were surprised and delighted at the results, In many cases a single package costing but 50 cents at any drug store made com plete cure and in every instance the most beneficial results were reported. From a hundred or more received we have space to publish only a few of the latest, but assure our readers we receive so many commendatory letters that we shall publish each week full list of genuine, unsolicited testimonials and never publish the same one twice.
 From James Yemmeisler, Lacrosse, Wis: Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are doing me more good than anything ever tried. and 1 was so pleased at re- suits that I gave away several boxes to my friends, who have also had the same benefits.

I had dyspepsia for six years, and had taken a great deal of medicine, but the Tablets seem to take right a hold, and I feel good. am farmer and lime burner, and heartily recommend to everyone who has any trouble with his stomach to use these Tablets.
 From Mrs. w, K, West, Preston, Minn.: I have received surprisingly good effects from using stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets. I gave one-half of my last box to a friend, who also suffered from indigestion, and she had the same Good results.
