New Haven rhenter.

''The Convicts Daughter" which will be the attraction at the New Haven Theatre tonight, Friday and Saturday nights, and at the matinee Saturday, is said to be one of the best presented comedy dramas offered to the. theatre going public, while in incident and theme it is most powerful, every eli max breaking with almost volcanic in- tensity. So much, by way of introduce tion. To go into the play itself noth- ing can be said to detract from its worth. In the entire company, from the actor who interprets the leading role down to the mere stage loiterers there is not one single person who has been negligently selected or unintelli- gently cast. This comedy drama, which lacks all the dramatic thunder of by-gone days, Is new and unknown, but cannot remain so, for it's magnificent staging at once becomes it's herald and sounds its own alarm. Nothing has been sacrificed to appearances, for there Is brought together series of in- cidents that hold the interests as had nothing that has come before it. The situations, the motives, the characters commingle without the least jarring or tugging or straining, giving a pleasant finesse to a story that is said to be talk en from life. The climaxes develop quickly and break magnifcently while the lighter moments are as rolling as a Sousa march, the sentimental frag- ments being truly natural and the com edy hits as sparkling asi the lights wich adorn the stage.

1 Our lamented brother did not attain unto the age of his fathers-he came from long lived ancestry.
 Matthew Arnold closes his little poem on Progress with these beautiful words. "Children of men not that your age
 excel
 In pride of life the ages of your sires
 But that ye think clear, feel deep
 bear fruit well,
 The Friend of man desires"
 Wm. J. Bradley thought clearly, felt deeply and bore fruit we'll.
 I first met MT. Bradley on my way to New York in the year 1888.
 He and l were commuters. l was at once impressed by his modest, sweet, simple manner.
 I saw however in the twinkle of his eye, ability force, stalwartness and un- derstood why the Singer Mfg, Co. em- pEoyed him as their general agent at their New York office-in a very re- sponsible position.
 For many years I frequently met and conversed with him.
 During all this period he was an oc- casional Or regular attendant at our morning church service during the pastorate of Chas P. Masden
 Mir Bradley through the influence and effort of the pastor, united with the church and evineed thereafter an increased interest in all church activi- ties. ~
 Prior to his so called conversion and connection with the church, lle ap- peared to be a sincere exemplar of the religion of Jesus Christ.
 No especial change was noticeable- naturally modest, secretive, .conserva- tive, he seldom if ever alluded to the subject of religion.
 His religion was lived, not expressed. Lived in consistent life and in Christ ly charities.
 MT. Bradley was thoughtful, usually cheerful, always agreeable and sympa- tf1etic.
 He gave liberally-impelled by duty and not impulse-never stopped over- never fippant apparently was free from excitement and durability.
 It was my privilege through his pro- tracted illness to frequently call dur ing his shut in period.
 He never exhibited impatience but with Christian resignation endured suffering and removal from activity
 Once only did he particularly speak of personal religious feeling and desire for the spiritual awakening of our member ship.
 At that time enfeebled physically in a tone slighter louder than a whisper but with intensity, he entreated me to use my influence with the pastor towards the quickening of the religious life of the church.
 Brother Bradley, naturally timid, never robust, amiable, unobtrusfve, was seemingly a marvel
 Energy, application, persistence was always noticeable during his active business life.
 His suggestions-sympathy and con- tributions during the memorable debt paying struggle were extremely help full.
 Invariably he greeted me with a smile whenever a charity was request ed.
 Often he declined to contribute but never inundated a solicitor with ex- plantations or references to necessary fixed benevolences.
 He listened patiently and attentively to every representation of need, never appeared distressed or gave facial evil dence of suffering resulting from the

F.I
 The sale of seats for William. H, Crane's appearance at the Hyperion on Saturday, March S1,. begins this morn ing. The actor is to present his new farcical comedy, 'The American Lord On the heels of the hit that this play scored in Chicago and ,Phila- delphia it was most emphatic success in Boston, where it has just terminated it's stay. The role played by MT, Crane is that of John Breuster, whe when first seen is the owner of hotel in North Dakota Breuster knows little about his ancestors and has rarely giv- en them a thought. He loves the boundess west and Is typical of the country. He hates snobbishness, af- fectation, show and the empty titles of the old world. He would no more al- low his daughter to marry a lord, a duke or "one of those things with g handle to his name" than he would think of attempting to fly to Mars. And yet the time does come when such condition confronts him, when the son of an English lord asks for the hand of his daughter. And as if matters are not bad enough already to this sturdy Americans waq of thinking he is proved to be the lineal descendant of an English lord and heir to his title. Can you imagine this type of American, and particularly as he will be portrayed by MT, Crane as a lord? The idea is certainly very humorous and it is easy to believe that the work is rich in amusing complications.

ance it might have been said. T do know him by his gait"-his carriage stately, unusual, remarkable. I Our friend and brother was lover of nature born angler.
 The thud of falling waters, the splash of rapid brook against obstruct- ing logs, rocks, debris seemingly say- ing get away or I'll wash you away, to him was melody.
 He loved the mountain and the meadow the forest and the. late. In them he saw God. Through them he felt his nearness-byEthe like others was stimulated to better doing.
 Horace J. Morton loved the church, it's ministrations, its ministers, it's memories,
 He appreciated the helpfulness of the church to humanity.
 He recognized the devotion-self sac flee of Gods ministers. Through long and beautiful life they met him at his home and there talked with him and his devoted wife concerning the eternal verities.
 Brother Morton loved prayer, private and family From it he received strength to well do- ais work.
 Those who saw him at the family altar in supplication in thanksgiving to his Heavenly Father, saw the God l touch.
 He loved and appreciated his home, its delights-its helpfulness. To him there was no name sweeter than Wife. In Browning phrase ology he could have said my perfect wife, Elizabeth. Oh heart my own: Oh eyes mine too."
 He loved his daughter, his only child. During the long years subsequent to his wifes death in 1890 his devoted daugh- ter faithfully, ceaselessly ministered to his every need.
 MT Morton in all commercial dealings strove to give value received,
 Naturally economical, conservative; his charities never advertised were given as the outcome of duty. Duty with him was a large word.
 The New England conscience of it's sturdiest and best type was his rich heritage.
 A word or two respecting his later days and last large benevolence.
 Sensitive, sometimes annoyed by un- tactful benevolent representation he oc- casionally gave evidence of felt an noyance.
 Towards life's sunset, placidity of thought, ,-calmness of beauty of expression invariably characterized him.
 After two benevolences of $5000 each presented to him few months prior to his death another and large one, He said to me Perhaps God has spared my life to do this thing so Henry I'M do it."
 Horace J. Morton-handsomer taller than most of his fellows; able, force- full with unimpaired mental facultices, physically sound and weakened only by his four score and ten years of life, re- tired Saturday evening Ooctober, 18th, 1905 with the expectation of another Sabbath upon earth. About nine o'clock he called his nurse, complained Of dlff1- culty in breathing and at twenty minutes past nine seemingly pain lessly took his flight Heaven-ward to his eternal home in the countries of the skies"
 No longer "prisoner of Earth On that Saturday night he commenced his real life--eternal, a life of liberty knowledge, happiness, peace.

Verify with little exaggeration this may be said of our lamented brother, l do not believe it is best to hawless- ly picture our fellows.
 Brother Baldwin may occasionally have been too cautious in action, but his diagnosis-of conditions was usually correct.
 In the long run the church profted by his broad conservatism.
 With sadness felt not expressed, from week to week, Sabbath to Sabbath, when possible I saw in our friend and brother the decline of vital forces. His mind slightly sluggish toward the later days of his illness remained vigorous to the end.
 Three weeks before This departure saw clearly the death stamp.
 The Sunday except one before his death he enquired of me whether Brother Morton and Brother Bradley suffered very much at the last. He said he sometimes thought he would pain lessly pass away.
 On that Sabbath morning felt in his weakened grip the approach of the king of terrors. I saw in his eye death. noticed in his manner the beginning of the end.
 He was soon. to know God in the up- lands of haven pura where God eter- nally dwells,
 Brother Baldwin many years surviv- ed faithful and able wife. During his last and long illness the dreariness of winter. isolated from the delights of all his years, shut in) was modified and made endurable through the loving de- votion of daughter and son. They most thoughtfully and continuously struggled to retain the father whom they loved, but the sands in the life glass could almost be counted in the early days of the winter
 They hoped in vain that when the birds sang, their father under the in- f1uence of warm sun, might recuper- ate.
 An! he never heard the birds sing but tonight he may be listening to the harmonies of celestial choirs.
 Horace J. Morton, Wm J. Bradley and Chas. L. Baldwin in some respects were similar in temperament and dis position. All were conservative-none of them visionary. They were not dreamers. All were truthful and hon. est in their broadest sense.
 They had no use for the impractic- able. None were toadies, none palaver- CTS. All realized the value of a dollar.
 With them conscience was evr dom irant. They all loved home, friends, the church of God.
 They were able counsellors, wise ad- visers. Possessed large executive qualities
 With Gen. Havelock they would have said: Principles are worth living for.
 The saintly commander dying under the trees of the Dilkoosha declared that for forty years he had so ruled his life that he did not fear death.
 Each of them had so lived that they fearlessly confronted death. Its icy grip had no terror.
 With them-To live was Christ, to die was gain.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theatee.

At the Hyperion Theatre tonight, March 29, Kellar, the worlds greatest magician, vii be seen. In his realm of magic and mystery Kellar is, supreme and alone-the only man worthy to be styled wonder worker. His weird manipulatlons of the laws of nature; his mastery of all the tricks and quirks style in handling the most abstrusa problems in gravitation-all these quail ities in this wonderful man are evil denced in his splendid entertainments. This sason Kellar has novelties with out number, but retains the principal of last years wonders; notably the great Levtation set, feat which de- fies explanation.
 The chief feature of this seasons bill is magic comedy which Kellar styles The Witch, the Sailor and the En- chanted Monkey" a sketch which lasts for half an hour and which requires some seven or eight personages to en- act. In this droll bit of fooling and mysters, men and women appear and disappear as if from thin air" Pros pero's evocation of the sprites and har- pies being mere child's play to the mar vels of the naturalization and disinte- grafton of the creatures who people the land in which the Witch works and the Enchanted Monkey has its being. Everywhere this newest creation of the great magician has been received with wonderment and awe The inexplica- ble nature of the scenes enacted in the petite comedy have made it tn talk of all classes of men and women in the cities which have been privileged to see 1t.

Rowland and Clifford will offer next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, at the New Haven theatre, ali attraction which has the reputation of being the best Hebrew play on the American stage to-day.
 James Kyrle MacCurdy, starring in "The Old Clothes Man." a play from his own pen, makes the clothes vender, Solomon Levi, a character study of great merit. All the buffoonery and ridicule are absent, and the old He brew is a most touching and pathetic figure, whose ready humor and ability to see the bright side of the darkest sit uation, win him the love and respect of

Coal in Mexico.

Over twenty years ago the Mexican government sent out commission to find and report upon coal deposits in the republic. The commission re- ported the finding of coal in several states, and it reported in particular the finding of high grade anthracite in Sonora. The cost of transportation, together with the limited deposits, have prevented the working of the Sonora field or of any of the other fields reported to exist by the commits sion of 1881.
 No mines are now operated in Mex leo except in the state of Coahuila, through which runs the International railroad. As yet not much coal is an nually turned out there, although it is said to be bituminous of colling qual- lty. There are seams at Esperanzas, Sabinas, Barroteran, Hondo and Flu ente, all in the state of Coahuila. The output is not large.
 This district sends no little coke and coal to Mexico It goes out through Pensacola and Mobile, on fruit steam CTS. and the trade promises to increase steadily in the future. A good basis is being laid for a great trade with Mex >jco when the Warrior is opened, and at less than 50 cents ton in transpor. tation charges.

Underpaid Teachers.

pr. Harris, the United States com missioner of education, shows that in 1903 the average monthly salary of a school teacher in this country had risen to $47.50, as against S2S.54 in 1870. and $37.46 in 1890. The average earning of 29 100000 wage workers in this country in the last census year was $1065, while the average school teacher earned but $2S5 year and to do that the school had to be conducted six months in the year.
 In 1903 Alabama paid her men school teachers $31 a month, and her women school teachers $27. These are the ay- erages of that year, as they have been gathered and published by Commits sioner Harris. The figures are official and no doubt correct.
 Comparisons may be odious, but in this matter they are needful. Alabama paid in 1903 her men school teachers lower wages than were paid in any other state for like service, the Car olinas alone excepted. Alabama paid her men teachers $31, while Wisconsin paid her men teachers SS1.93, and Cal ifornia paid an average of $97.21. The women school teachers of Alabama drew in that year $27, sum lower than nearly all other states paid. The average monthly pay of women school teachers in California was $s0.44 in 1903.
 The salaries of teachers in this state should be increased. An increase of per cent each year until the average pay of the country is reached would not be unreasonable. Good service can not be expected, especially in the rural schools, while the pay of teachers re mains where it is. The subject needs attention. especially on the part of the next legislature.

Bananas and Fever.

The Mobile Register defends the banana trade, insisting that yellow fever has never been brought into Mo bile by fruit steamers. Mobiles good luck was not shared last year by New Orleans or Pensacola, and what the south needs is a quarantine that VIII keep the scourge out of all ports in all seasons, regardless of bananas or any other product.
 The Register should remember that the good luck of Mobile last year was almost valueless because the fever prevailed along the gulf coast on both sides of Mobile bay Our excellent port outlet needs uniform and efficient quarantine regulation as much as Bir- mingham. for an outbreak of the fever at any gulf port endangers and demor- alizes business in. all the gulf states to say the least
 Even if last years good luck at Mo bile could be indefinitely repeated. the neel of federal maritime quarantine would still be felt. for state quaran- tiles are notoriously less efficient than those maintained by a service that makes a year-round study of the task The Register certainly will not claim that Alabama or any other state is as we'll equipped to fight off yellow fever as the marine hospital service.
 Mobile should be content with fair play in the banana trade It should not demand privileges for it that other ports do not get because all such priv ileges almost necessarily involve ad- ditional risks to the lives and general business of the people of the entire south. The banana dealers of Mobile should ask for equal rights and notn- ing beyond

 There alnt nothing to It; suckers and good farmers are getting scarcer every day" said an old-tlme street faKer the other day. There was time when wise guy at the ballyhoo business could go out and collect the dough but the good old days have passed and today the rubes won't give 10 cents to sec an earthquake.
