tFaiiaulum special
Indianapolis, May 7.-Representa-
tive Chales B. Lands thinks that the
Democrats who are making claims to
a Democratic victory in Indiana this
year are great jokers.
Why said he, the Republicans
will carry Indiana however from 49,
900 to $4,000. Do you suppose that
the people of Indiana are going to vote
for soup houses just because Governor
Hanly sent Dave Sherrick to the peni-
tertiary? The Democrats are talking
about dissensions among Republicans.
Our little family troubles are not a
marker to the discussions among the
Democrats. 1t is a fine spectacle of
harmony that the Democrats of In
diana are now presenting to the coun-
try. With one faction of the party
with it's hands on Tom Taggart' s
throat and with Democrats all over
the state painting for each others life
blood they can well afford to talk
about harmony"

indianapolis, May Judge Stubs,
of the Indianapolis Juvenile court,
made an address last night on 1.-The
Cigarette. I'm part he said:
The cigarette is by far the most
potent of causes that have brought
about such great increase in the
number OF offenses against the law
by boys within the last few years.
Il have had before me more than
six hundred boys who are users of
cigarettes, most of whom have be-
come cigarette fiends. l have found,
also, that in nearly every case where
the offense was of grevious. crimi-
nal nature the defendant was a user
Of cigarettes. I have taken the opin-
ion of physicians and have examined
into the subject myself until I have
become convinced that the insidious
poison Of the cigarette is at the bot
tom Of much of the trouble.
did any of you ever an habitual
drunkard at time when he was just
just getting over a drunken debauch
and when he had been deprived of
liquor for twenty-four hours? If so
you have witnessed the limbs shak-
ing as with palsy and his frenzied
appetite driving him to the verge of
delirium. l have seen boys under
16 years of age in nearly as bad con-
dition when deprived of cigarettes for
day and night. Is 1t any wonder
that the boy with all his horrible
craving for cigarettes, commits theft
in order to supply himself with that
which will quiet his nerves and
soothe him for the time being?
I'm the Juvenile Court / have found
that manliness and good conduct can
be aroused and stimulated in bows. no

JUDGE STUBS ON CIGARETTES

matter what the offense of which they
have been found guilty, il only they
are not cigarette fiends. When a
boy becomes addicted to the use of
cigarettes the disease is in his blood
and brain; his moral fiber is gone; he
becomes apathetic, listless and in
different: his vitality has been Slapped
away and all the vigor that should
characterize the normal boy is gone.
We have found that we have but
small chance to reform and help the
cigarette fiend unless the habit can
be broken.
Is Not a Pessimist.
81 am not a pessimfist. / do not be-
lieve that this country is becoming
degenerate nor that it is dropping to
a fatal decay. Ratherer l see it as a
strong man rousing himself after
sleep. Let this horrible vice be throt-
tied be fore it gets beyond the Ma
TONS control; this deadly cigarette
habit which is such recent growth
and which is spreading over the
country like an epidemic-let it be
wiped out and all will be well. ] am
glad to say that the effect of the
passage of the Indiana anti-cigarette
law has been to lessen greatly the
number of cases of delinquency to be
attributed to the cigarette habit.
"The parents of the boys all over
this country should be aroused. Such
a powerful and united effort should
be made that the General Assembly
in every state in the Union will be
compelled to enact laws abolishing
the cigarette and making it an onense
punishable by Imprisonment in the
state prison for any person to sell a
cigarette to a minor"

B,,ou Thenter.

Large and exceedingly well pleased audiences yesterday crowded the Bijou to witness the Christmas day perform ance of William Gillette's clever com edy, Because She Loved Him So." It is a play that is ideal as a holiday at traction, and its performance by the company Is such as to leave no room for criticism.
 The comedy of the play is continu- ous. It is a clean, wholesome comedy. It is of the spontaneous type and the laugh producing effect of it upon the audience is of the irresistible calibre. Gertrude Shipman and Lawrence Me- Gill, in the leading roles, are clever as usual Frank Wallace and Edith Cro- Illus, in the leading comedy roles, are at their best, and the support of the company is excellent.
 A special attraction this week is nine eyear-old Alice May Moriarty, the child wonder. She sings her popular songs and gives several exceedingly clever and pretty dances. The tickets for the balance of the performances of the week may be ordered now at the box office.

The New Haven theater was crowded last night, when "The Volunteer Or ganist' was presented. This is a play without deep-dyed villain, murder, an old will, a perseeuted heroine or any of the aged perquisites of the ordinary drama, but, in place thereof, true, hon. est comedy, exceptional pathos and an appeal to the intellect that stirs within us all that is good and noble. Its char acters are drawn true to life, a delight ful love story running throughout that rouses even the most cynical.
 The story of the play is laid amid the hills of Vermont, and as it is unfolded

ON DANGEROUS GROUND.

Frederick Summerfield, author of "On | Dangerous Ground, the big melodra-
 matic success of this season, which will
 be the offering at the New Haven the ater tomorrow, Friday and Saturday
 nights and at the regular matinee Sat iurday, has evolved a really unique way
 of disposing of the villains by causing
 them to turn against each other and
 attempt to destroy themselves. It is a good finish to their nefarious undertak- ings and saves reckoning the hands of
 the hero with crime. The villains are Chang Wah, king of San Francisco's
 Chinatown and the leader of a gang of confidence men known as Kingpin The Chinaman promises the latter rich reward to force Lillian Westover to be- come his wife. Lillian is one of two sisters who are maintained in comfort able circumstances by their brother,
 whose real business of keeping a sa- loon which is frequented by such char acters as Kingpin is unknown to them. When Lillian finds out she rashly leaves home to seek her own living. She thus easily falls prey to King pin, who secures the assistance of his paramour Hester Galloway, to lure her to the Chinaman. The brothers means of obtaining a good living for his sis ters their parents being dead, forms the lesson of the play, whether the end justif1es the means.
 The play affords all the thrilling sit nations and sensational features of the up-to-date melodrama. There are sev- eral great scenes, including terrible fight in concert hall and the walking of a rope from the top of a burning building to the top of another by the hero, with the heroine on his back. The show has been given the most elaborate and costly stage settings by the pro- ducers, the Vance & Sullivan company, that has ever been given melodrama. Its comedy is spontaneous and natural, and some excellent speciality numbers are introduced in the concert hall scene. But the unique finish comes when Chang Wah refuses to pay King pin his reward and the two villains fight duel with knives while tied to- gether on top of the burning building. Regular popular prices

THE MIMIC AND THE MAID.

The attraction at the Hyperion on Friday and Saturday nights and at the Saturday matinee will be "The Mimic and the Maid" This is the latest prod uct of the fertile brains of those two talented men, Allen Lowe and A. Bald win Sloane. Several distinct novelties are promised in this, which is deemed best should come to the audience in the nature of surprise.
 The company contains number of clever people who are well known to New Haven audiences, and there is also a strong local interest in the ap- pearance of Miss Burnham, a former New Haven girl, who since leaving here has been identified with such mu- sical comedy successes as "F'lodora," San Toy" and 'The Yankee Consul" Her many friends will be out in full force to see her on this her first local appearance
