ENTERTAINMENTS
New Haxen Theater.

One of the most beautiful stage set tings that has ever been devised by the mind of man has originated in the fer tile brain of Lew Dockstader, who, with his greatest minstrel band will be seen at the New Haven theater tonight.
 The first part of the show is the moos intricate and wonderful scene ever shown with minstrel company. It consists of an Srabesque setting which is called "The Palace of Jewels" An interior is shown with a veranda in the distance. The interior is studded with great jewels, all of them showing the vari-colored reflections that make the precious stones so beautiful and at | tractive.
 Each stone has it's proper setting and the facets are absolutely true to the most criical eye The weight of the l jewels alone that must be carried for 1 the set is over two tons from which fact the great weight of this massive scene when all is aken into considera- tion can be imagined.
 Neil O'Brien who portrayal of the stupid darkey, has made the whole country laugh. He is again one of the big features of the performance. MT. O Brien will present an improved ver- sion of his street cart act of two sea- sons ago, entitled Rapid Transit No 2"
 One of the big dancing numbers that stands out as a distinct novelty is call ed "The Animated Cornfield, in which all the cornstalks come to life and dance grotesquely. The finale of the show is picturesque southern scene showing the swamps of Louisiana when the magnolia trees are in full bloom. This Is a moonlight scene in which the stage effect never before pre- sented is introduced.
 Mr. Dockstader himself has a special " in which newness is the keystone He will be seen as the editor of the "Bungtown Bazoo" and will depict the trying circumstances of an editors life His arrival at the sanctum and his de. parture from the basis for one of the most interesting acts the fertile mind ol he minstrel man has ever devised.

HUBBARDs CANDIDACY.

The announcement of William P.
Hubbard's candidacy for the Repub-
lican nomination for Congress in
this district is the inception of quite
"a stir in political circles. Mr.. Hub
bard evidently means to make a
strong and vigorous canvass and will
have a splendid following. That
there will be a spirited but friendly
contest there seems no doubt. This
contest will likely be confined to
Mr.. Hubbard and Captain Dovener'
as it is scarcely probable any one
else will enter. the race. Captain
Dovener has time and again proved
his strong running qualities, and Mr.,
Hubbard, if nominated, would as
suredly be a winner. So, in either
case Republican victory at the polls
is assured.
Mr.. Hubbard was one of the
prime movers in tax reform and one
of its strongest advocates in the last
State campaign. He is lawyer OF
brilliant attainment and loyal lie
