MAY IRWIN.

May Irwin is playing for the second season the most notable comedy suc- cess of her notable career, Mrs, Black Is Back, by George V. Hobart, author of the famous John Henry" stories. Hobart's work is a straight" comedy the most legitimate farce May Irwin ever had,' said Ashton Stevens in the San Francisco Examiner. Of all the productions in New York last season, the most successful in the comedy line was Mrs. Black Is Back" which ran for six months in the metropolis, play ing six different theaters in Greater New York. It also had notable runs in Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington, where the president and his family attended-which was his first visit to the theater since his inaugur- ation. This season, Miss Irwin played successful engagements in San Fran cisco and other Pacific coast towns, and the country's verdict has stamped it as the transcontinental success" The engagement in this city will be for one night at the Hyperion, Thursday night, February 22.

TWELVE SUPERNUMARIES
TO POLICE DEPARTMENT
 ROLLS.

Additions Made from Men Who Passed
 Civil Service Examinations-Ag
 Limit for PatrOImen Reduced to 21
 Years-TwO Designations Accepted.
 Twelve new appointments to the su- pernumerary roll of the police depart ment were made by the commissioners at their meeting last evening. These are: Timothy M Flannery, 237 James street; Edward Rose, 396 Grand ave- nue; William D. Butler, 69 Poplar street; James J. McAvoy, 191 Franklin street; John J. Pagan, 127 Blatchley avenue, George R. Sullivan, 21 Greene street; John Fitzgerald, 115 Asylum street; John J. Lyon, 36 Collis street; William E. Leddy, 131 St. John street; Matthew J. Walsh, 1884 James street; Owen T. Walsh, 25 St. John street, and Frederick A. Hunt, BPS Blatchley ave- nue. These men were recommended by the civil service board as eligible by the recent examination.
 lhe Supernumefary llSt already mas quite a number of names upon it, but only a few of these men are in posi- tion to respond to call in daytime and it was desired to increase the number for this reason. Supernumeraries are rated as grade E in the department, in which grade they enter the service as patrolmen.
 Chief Wrinn reported from the civil service board that that body had de- cided to reduce the age requisite for ratrolmen from twenty-five to twenty one. The ages hereafter will be twen- ty-one to thirty instead of twenty-five to thirty, as formerly. This is done be- cause 1t is sometimes a number of years before a supernumerary is able to get an appointment to regular patrolman's duty, and consequently some who be- come supernumeraries at twenty-five have passed thirty before a chance opens for them.
 Two resignations were accepted by the board, those of Charles Sessl {, jr., supernumerary, and Charles H. Potter, the special constable at the New Haven theater,

CAPTAINS STORY.
How He Got Out and Stays Out of
 Trouble.

Captain Abran Jones' of 174 East Thirty-sixth street, Los Angeles, Cal, tells an interesting coffee story, and says he can be publicly quoted:
 ''I drank coffee all my life" he says, "and took no harm, I thought, till about ten years ago, when variety of ailments attacked me one after the other.
 First came a disordered stomach, followed by palpitation of the heart which was very severe, some attacks lasting four or five hours at a time. Then my bowels got out of order and l suffered from chronic constipation. This ran on for some years.
 Finally I quit the drugs and strug- gled along the best way I could, taking the advice of friends, but never getting any better At last was taken so se- riously sick that had to go to bed and the doctor told my family I could not recover.
 tsWhile lay in this condition a friend suggested that I quit drinking the old kind of coffee and try Postum Food Coffee-to see what it would do for me. He said Postum had pulled him through when he was similarly afflicted,
 q took his advice, quit coffee and drank Postum, and in two months time was in good health. I was so elated at the result that l told my doctor about fl. He wasn't very well posted on facts at that time, and said that he did not believe that leaving off coffee and using Postum had anything to do with n1y improved health, but that it was due to good medicine and good advice from the family doctor; that my sick ness had worked out of my system the diseased conditions that had been de- veloping for several years; that l could now look forward to good health for some time to come, and that had bet ter resume coffee drinking, in modera- tion. and thus save my family the trou- ble of preparing an extra table beyer- age every day.
 .'I took the doctors advice, stopped the Postum and began drinking coffee again. The result was that all my old troubles came trooping back, and was soon once more seriously ill. Then l became alarmed and swore off coffee for god and all, and resumed the use of Postum and got well again
 My health is now as good as it ever was. My dyspepsia is gone; l never have heart palpitation any more; my bowels are in good working order, and all the little ills that go with the big onaS have disanpea rcd
 'It is now five years since I quit cof- fee and began to use Postum, and in all that time I have not paid one cent for medicine.
 There's reason.

NURSING AND TOTAL ABSTINENCE

NURSING AND TOTAL ABSTINENCE
 Every nurse knows that most wards in her hospital would have an empty look if all the victims of alcohol in Every district nurse sees. that one sof the chief barriers even to the poorest leading clean and self respecting lives is their habit of spending far too large a proportion of the weeks earnings In And in the houses of the well to do, in spite of "three bottle men" having departed with the change in national habits, the private nurse sees that many of her patients are suf- fering, directly or indirectly, from aI- coholism. Only those who have done the work know how much inducement there is to the private nurse to drink. We do not say temptation, for it is not temptation to one in hundred, but there is a perpetual invitation to drink. It continually happens that the first greeting at a new house is: Wont you have glass of something before you go upstairs?" and little drop of brandy after such a nasty job" was daily suggestion to a young nurse aft CT finishing a dressing that had to be repeated several times a day. Two nur- ses in charge of severe case of pneu- monia in a suburban hotel, found a bot tie of whiskey in the bedroom of the elder but, as they remarked after .1n.

Connecticut Loses the Baldwin Estate
 Tax

Connecticut Loses the Baldwin Estate Tax.
 Judge Cleaveland, of the probate court, yesterday took up for considera- ton the, will of the late Caroline Whit ney Baldwin, of Whitney avenue, for the purpose of deciding whether her legal residence was in New York or in New Haven. This matter is important, for if it is proved that she was a resi- dent of this state an inheritance tax on the whole estate can be collected by Connecticut. In her will Mrs. Baldwin gave her residence as New York and in order to protect himself and the state of Connecticut Judge Cleaveland took evidence tendin to prove that Mrs. Baldwin was a resident of New York.
 Attorney Theodore c. Camp, of Sea- bright, N. J., and Attorney George M. Gum, of this city, who were counsel for Mrs. Baldwin, offered tax receipts and other papers to show that Mrs. Baldwin was legal resident of New York city.
 Attorney Camp said that Mrs, Bald win regarded the residence in Whitney avenue as a country residence only, She died in that residence last Novem- ber She had home in New York and frequently travelled abroad.
 The Baldwin estate is worth about $75O,OOO.
 Judge Cleaveland decided that Mrs Baldwin was a resident of New York at the time of her death, and ordered that copy of her will be placed on file in the New Haven probate court.

BIiOu Theater. THE MINISTER'S SON. "

The Stock company presented new rural play, entitled, "The Ministers Son." yesterday at matinee and even- ing to capacity houses. While the play is new to our city, it is on the lines of other rural plays presented, such as Shore Acres" Way Down East" etc. It Is of the pastoral order, and the quamtness of its characters caught the large audience by storm. The story of the drama is simple, 1t shows the strug- gle of the minister's son to make his way in large city. The special seen cry used is true to nature, and the in- terest is never permitted to lag for a moment. MT. Lawrence B. McGill, as simon Ray, the minister's son, was per- lection in the role, and played the part with much feeling. MT, Harry Lang
 don, as John Ray, his father, was na- tural and dignified. Mir. James Cor don as the villain, Westley Coles, made the most of this trying part Mir. Lu
 cius Fairchild, as Timmy Simn1s, a foolish boy, displayed much talent. MT. Alfred Sidwell, as Deacon Ray, brought forth many a laugh Mir Daniel F. Lawlor, as Robert Ray, was most sat- isfactory, and MT Everett Butterfield, as James Ward, friend of Simon was all that could be desired Miss Harriet Barton, as Rose Ray, won the sym pathy of the audience by her rendition of this role. Miss Edith Crolius, ae Mrs Ray, was kindly old mother, she also enacted the part of Peggy Owen very satisfactorily Miss Margaret Hagen, as Molly Stevens, played the part with dash and sweetness that won her a warm place in the hearts of her audience. Matinees will be pre- sented daily. Ladies ten cents. Sou venirs will be presented to all who at- tend the matinee on Friday.
