A LITTLE MOONLIGHT SONG.

It was in Madame Jacques studio in the Watts Building the other day, and some one spoke of "Au clair dc la lune, |" the little French folk song quoted in Trilby which is so touching in its pathos, subtitle in its delicacy and very rare and sweet It is sung today, and has been sung for generations in every quarter of Paris, in every province of France-par- ticularly lat the moonlight times" "rhere is of it a most sad history" said Madame Jacques. 'lt is of an acro- bat-you might call a clown--in the cir GUS, who fell in love with a girl far above him. She came with all the people to the circus, and he looked for her at every time and did always his best to please and make her happy, but, of course, never could he meet her. But in the nighttimes. he would to her write the most sweet poeses, by the light of the moon, so the story Is told. Then one day she came no more. He look and watch, but she comes not. So he has died-and in his memory all France sings this song eyer since:
 '" Au clair de la lune
 Mon ami Pierrot,
 Prete-moi ta plume,
 Pour ecrire un mot.
 Ma chandele est morte,
 Je mai plus de feu,
 Ouvre moi ta porte,
 Pour ramour de Dieu!"

The play abounds with strong situa- tions and climaxes and there is 8 bright vein of comedy which runs throughout the entire piece. The story of a young wife married to an aarmy officer much hersenior, in his absence from home she has become discontent- ed and begins a filtration with a French scoundrel. He is not satisfied to be put aside, however, and, and begins per secution that finally results in the sit

A duel between the men follows and the Frenchman is killed, but before his death he exonerates the unhappy wife and all ends happily Miss Gertrude Shipman, as June Clay, is as bright and clever as ever. Miss Dorothy Lamb, as Lucia Stetson, was as usual excel lent Miss Edith Crolius, was all that could be desired, and created much laughter in her comedy scenes. MT. Lawrence B.

Hyperion Thentse.

It is estimated that no play brought out in the last fifty years of progress on the American stage has equalled the wonderful success of Ben Hur." Not counting the London presentation, Ben Hur' has been performed, approxi- mately, 2,O00 times. It is further es- timated that it's average attendance has been, in round numbers, 2500 people a performance, making in all a total of about 5,O0O,O00 persons who have wit messed the famous production.
 The stretch from London to Seattle, on the extreme border of this country, and from St. Paul, Minn,, on the north to San Antonio, Texas, on the south, shows the territory that has been cov- cred. All of these points have been vis- ited by the organization that will ap- pear here. There has never been but one company in existence portraying General Wallace's work.
 Financially, it is estimated that over $5,00O000 has already been paid into the box offices of different theaters during the runs of this same attraction, Other plays have outlived, and, in their time, exceeded this record, but it is certain that not in so short a space of time has any drama ever produced in this country made such a record in so lim- ited period,
 Ben Hur' will play return engage ment April 30 and May and 2, with matinee Wednesday, at the Hyperion theater Seat sale Thursday.

Uchida, Japanese con- sul general: General Stewart [, Wood lord, representing the Pilgrims soci- ety; Rear Admiral Joseph B. Coghian Sir c. Purden Clarke, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, were among those at the speakers table.
 General Woodford, stating that he was speaking for President Roosevelt
 explained the attitude of the president in refusing aid from other nations to stricken San Francisco, and said:
 The president, in the midst of the horrors of San Francisco. kindly but firmly declined the assistance offered by the other nations, and especially through St. Georges society, the as- sistance of England. The president meant simply that bowed as the Amer ican people were under their load, it was his wish that the American people should show the world that under such an diversity the United States would take careof it's own would rise equal to the terrible occasion: would feed their own hungry, would clothe their own naked, and, spurred on by the in- domitable courage which this people have always exhibited under stress of distracting calamity, set up their flag and move to the assistance of the city that once was, and build a new city, even though the earth shook beneath its foundations. In doing this, in refusing your great beneflcence, the president still feels that he is greatly honored, as the American people are, in that England and the other great nations, not only sent messages of regret but offered substantial material aid. He feltthat the nation as nation should set an exampdeto other nations"

".WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES'.
 When play is funny enough to have eleven companies going at one time, when play is funny enough to run in London over 200 nights and New York 700 nights, when a. play is endorsed by both continents, that play is likely to be pretty funny don't you think? That is why it is drawing such crowded houses everywhere. If ever a play held an audience in its grasp What Happened to Jones" does. It hardly starts before the audience is in one great big jolly mood that lasts until the final curtain. The only fault about What Happened to Jones' is, it is only too soon ended, but, like all good things, it comes in a small package; this package unrolls in two hours and a half. What pity it doesn't take twice that long. It will be unrolled at the New Haven theater Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, nights, April 30, May 1 and ?, with matinee Wednesday

HARD TO DROP.
But Many People Drop It.

A young California wife talks about coffee:
 Tt was hard to drop Mocha and Java and give Postum Food Coffee a trial, but my nerves were so shattered tkat I was a nervous wreck and of course that means all kinds of ails.
 "At first I thought bicycle riding caused 1t and gave it up, but my con- dition remained unchanged. l did not want to acknowledge coffee caused the trouble, for was very fond of it. At that time @ friend came to live with us, and I noticed that after he ha@ been with us a week he would not drink his coffee any more. asked him the req son. He replied, T have not had 8 headache since I left off drinking cof- fee. some months ago, till last week, when I began again, here at your ta- ble. I don't see how any one can like coffee. anyway, after drinking Pos tum!'
 q said nothing, buttat once. ordered a racakage of Postum. That was five months ago, and we hace drank no oth- CT coffee since, except on two occasions when we had company, and the result each time was that my husband could not sleep, but lay awake and tossed and talked half the night. We were con- vinced that coffee caused his suffering, so he returned to Postum Food Coffee, convinced that the old kind was an en- emy instead of a friend, and he is trou- bled no more bV insomnia.
 T myself have gained eight pounds in weight, and my nerves have ceased to quiver. It seems so easy now to quit the old coffee that caused our aches and ails, and take up Postum." Name giv- en by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

'BREAKING INTO SOCIETY. ]"

The latest musical comedy sensation, brimful of fun and frollc of the clean and wholesome sort, with the inimitable Four Mortons in the character roles, will be the attraction at the New Ha- ven theater Thursday, Friday and Sat urday nights this week, and 1t Is safe to predict a most successful engage ment. It is, perhaps, the best effort of those able writers of mirthful pro- auctions, Messrs. Lee Arthur and Rob- ert B. Smith. The music, which is bright and pretty in the extreme, Is by Gus Edwards, and the production is staged by Percy G. Williams, the we'll known proprietor of four of the leading New York theaters. There are fifty people in the company, selected espe- cially for their ability and voices, and The stage settings are new and novel. The Four Mortons, Sam Kittie, Clara and Paul, have long been associated with the best vaudeville and musical comedy productions, and in point of en- tertaining capabilities are still greatest headliners, and there is a chorus of twenty-five girls, who know how to sing and dance and wear stunning cos- tunes beeomingly. They form be- witching adjunct to this most pleasing frivolity.

 Chairman Mansfield was authorized ito appoint an executive committee of nine to direct the rest of the fund-rais- ing movement here. This committee will be convened to-day.
 President Woodruff and Mayor Stud ley were at the meeting last evening. President Woodruff said that, speaking for the Chamber of Commerce, he was much gratified at what the Chamber had accomplished, and at the success of Secretary Gallagher in his task. The Chamber had more than redeemed its pledge to raise $5,000, made last Friday.
 Secretary Gallagher said he had yet to hear from half of the members of the Chamber, and that. therefore the amount would be no doubt considerably increased. However, many of the more wealthy members of the Chamber have already contributed for the sufferers Through other sources.
 The Red Cross will receive articles of wearing apparel or of bed linen at the, rooms of the United Workers, 200 Or ange street, from 10 to F and from 2 to 4.
