the other night by OF these cabTnen. He was
what Is known a nghthawk; that is. one who
lives OF the little birds huttering around the Ten
derloin in the wee, sma' hours.
It was In the days when the old St Cloud Hotel
stood at Broadway and ed street that a well
dressed man appeared among the cabs along West
18th street When he announced that he would
hire all the cabs in sight to take him up to the
St Cloud he was considered merely as un-
usually original and extravagant drunk. One man
suggested that he had escaped from Bellevue. But
when he four1shed fat roll OF bills some twenty
cabbies stepped up with alacrity The stranger an
nounced he would pay s. man. 81 down and the
rest upon arrival So up the street the procession
went, each cabby shaking hands with himself at
the easy money. In front OF the st. Cloud the
stranger alighted from OF the cabs and. walk
ing carefully to a certain spot on the pavement
said curtly: '"You all dismissed" In less time
than It takes to grab up a whip there was hula
balloo that would have done credit TO the Fish
Market Of Cairo. The cabbies surrounded the
stranger who declined to pay the other dollar, all
talking and shouting and threatening, cracking
their whips jostling one another about the pave

the nrst thing he said was. ''Whati Are you back

NEW INDIAN PLAY
"The Redskin" Has Its Enst Production in
 New Haven.

New Haven, Feb 2s.-An Indian drama. "The Redskin.' written by Donald MacLaren, was produced by William A. Brady for the first time Monday night at the Hyperion. It is novelty in q theatrical sense. as every character ill it is that of an Indian.
 The theme is that of the love of Niatawa, the huntsman. for Adulola, Lily of Namabin, daughter of Lona- wonda. the great chief of the tribe. The lover is killed in combat with Sheanaugua, counsellor of the great chief, in an effort to avenge the deati. of his father. The latter had been killed by Lonawonda. While the love store is ended abruptly by the untimely death of Niatawa, the play is closed by three scenes showing Adulola's mourn- ing for her lover, her death bed and the flight of her spirit to join that Of Niatawa.
 The company includes Miss Kather- inc Grey as Adulola, Edwin Arden as Niatawa, Tyrone Power af Lonawon- da, Albert Bruenning as Sheanaugua. and ,Bijou Fernandez as Lashota. wife of the last nained.l Both the author and Mir Brady were called before the curtain by the enthusoastic audience.

 James Heating of the United States army, is enjoying a ten days furlough. John Kennedy, another of Uncle Sam's regulars, is also spend ing a short vacation with friends in this section.
 Joe, the barber, who has been employed for some time in Rocco Di Orio's barber shop, has returned to Italy and it is hinted on his return to his native land he will enter the bonds of matrimony.
 His Brooklyn admirers think that Dave Cronan would have a good chance of defeating Ed O'C0nnell of New Haven should the latter agree to throw the bricklayer twice in an hour. The match would undoubtedly draw well if given in this city and it may take place if the Elm City man is willing.
 The following are the names of the West end forty-five team that won the game at the Lyceum last even ing: B. J. Casey, captain: H. X. Murphy, manager; David Dixon, Will liam O'Neil, Thomas Murphy, Michael Morton. William Wiggins, John Caf- frey, John Bowe, Patrick Mcintyre, James Quinn, Michael Wallace, The odore Knapp. Richard Powers, James Sinnott, Thomas Kenny. The team is ready to play any club in the city or state.
 It is surprising how forgetfui some people are and how their thoughts wander when sitting by Il fire on a cold day. This morning the writer saw young man sitting ill a store and he had his feet on the stoye. He left them in that position for some time but suddenly thought something was burning. On investi- gation it proved that new pair of shoes which he had on were beng scorched and to his sorrow he saw that a small hole had been burned through the leather. No wonder tho shoe factories are busy.
