 'Humph. I know what actresses are"
 ''You would like her enormously. Above all things. l wish that you and she might be friends. She is the one person who could thoroughly reconcile you to what you call my low Bohemian life in London"
 The discussions at BroOkstede rose to a pitch when Lady HolbrOoke began to talk rather wildly about divorce.
 Tt is out of the question" protested her husband. You can't charge me with cruelty. and you can't charge me with any other offense."
 The 'impasse" thus presented to her view gave the final twist to Lady Hol- brOoke's qUivering nerves. This was the morning of the very day when this narrative began. She could not divorce her husband. He laughingly assured her that he would not divorce her and that he could not if he would. His laughter tangled in her ears. and. whitehOt with rage. to her own as tonishment almost as much as to his. she found herself telling her husband that he should have evidence which would force him to divorce her within twcnty-fOur hours.

 "Yes. I think sO." said her compan- ion gently" and I understand. But" and he hesitated, ''how are you 10 make sure that Lord Holbrooke is to know where you've gone?"
 ''I thought 1t all out she answered and I sent word to a detective agency this morning that I was to be watched tonight"
 You sent word?"
 Well. of course. I signed my hus- bands name"
 The situation was not lacking iu piquancy. Charles Edward felt. But he also felt that it was not the part of a hero of fantistic adventure to act in any comedy without himself rear ranging it somewhat and playing therein the role of minor Providence Lady HolbrOoke's condolences had put him in possession of half the mater ials for his plot. The singular chance that he knew Miss Nancy Scott gay, him the other half. for he felt that il helped him to understand better thaT most people could the rights ant wrongs of the HOlbrOoke quarrel Charles Edward felt himself a com potent judge of what her feelings fOl : Lord HolbrOoke were.

"A PARADISE OF LIES. "

Miss Mildred Holland lost none of her popularity last evening at Polls theater when she produced her new play "A Paradise of Lies" A large and appreciative audience greeted her and her worthy company and the new offering pleased everybody. The story and plot of the play are inter esting throughout and not one dull moment could be discovered. The drama was beautifully staged and g. faultlessly enacted that many believe it is the best vehicle Miss Holland has in her repertoire of plays. She was enthusiastically greeted on her first appearance and received merited applause throughout while her com pany assisted most emphaticaIly in the general success of the production.

MGR. SLOCUM IGNORED
People of His Native Town Gath
 cred About Him Last Night.

The Winsted Opera house was crowded to the doors last night, the occasion being the presentation to Right Rev Monsignor w. J. Slocum of this city handsome gold chalice. as token of esteem from the citi- zens of his native town. A number of priests occupied seats on the plat form. An overture was rendered by Canty's orchestra. This was fol- lowed by vocal selections by Miss Katherine Ryan of Winsted, Edward McArdla and Lawrence Brennan, Winsted. Short addresses were made by Postmaster J. T. Glynn and Coroner R. T. Higgins. The pre- sentation speech was delivered by the. Rev Joseph Slattery, pastor of St Joseph's church to which Monsig- nor Slocum suitably responded. He accepted the gift on condition that after his death 1t would be returned to Winsted. He talked at some length on his boyhood days and the impression made upon him by the patriotism of the townspeople dur ing the civil war and the sacrifices they made to maintain the Union. To these things and his training in the Franciscan school were due his patriotic sentiments. The monsig- nor called attention to the influx into this country of people in sufficient numbers to materially change many towns in the valley. Those rapidly changing conditions he considered are fraught with great danger, but he hoped for the best possible results and counselled the Irish Catholics to cling to their creed and in such an event they could always be de- pended on to stand on the side of right in case struggle ever should come between those who are opposed to our institutions and men who have no respect for law and order. The monsignor was suffering from bad cold. yet he talked for over half an hour, and held the undivided atten- tion of the vast assemblage. The funds to purchase the chalice with was paid by popular subscription, and everybody regarded it an honor to be numbered among the donors.

 At meeting of the Junior Amateur Baseball league which will be held Friday night, in all probabil- ity the managers will decide to play the games in the afternoon in the future. The season opened last Sun day and the games were played in the morning, but it is understood that the local clergy have taken steps to have the games in the morning stopped, SO the managers and the president, not wishing to cause any trouble, which might interfere with all baseball on Sunday, have decided to make no effort to continue the games. Since Sunday morn- ing baseball was stopped few years ago no steps have been taken to re- vive it as the clergy think that it in- terfers greatly with the Sunday services. consequently the members are bitterly opposed to it.
 The passengers on the car which left the center for Brooklyn Tuesday evening had to walk from the switch near the American Ring factory as because of misunderstanding be- tween the crews the car bound for this section was left on the switch without either motorman or con- ductor. The car which left the cen- ter had orders to change with thu incoming crew at the switch in ques- tion. When the switch was reached the crew which was on the south bound car proceeded to make the change but the motorman and con- ductor on the other rolling stock would not listen to the plan and de- clared that they were going to run their car into the center, which they did. But the other crew were firm in their determination not to go fur ther. so they jumped on the car and also rode to the center. The passen- gers were left alone on the south bound car and. after waiting a few decided to walk the re- mainder of the distance.

THE PRICE OF DRUGS
Local Dealers Want 10 Regulate
 the Present Rates.

The members of the Pharmaceutical association at meeting last week decided to revise their price list. AL though the committee 1t Is understood will lower the price on few articles. 1t Is also their intention to run up the cost of almost as many others. The discussion of the revising of the price list was very lively and one part Of the association was bitterly op- posed to 1t. The dealers in the vicin- ity of the center in order to get the transient trade are eager to make the price of standard goods the same as in other cities while those on the outside are against such action.
 There are many articles which druggists are not allowed to sell be- low minimum rate but are permit ted to obtain as much as they can above the minimum. In this way many dealers get much more for some articles than others, although in most cases a set price is named.
 Opium, morphine and camphor, the price of the two former articles having advanced twenty-five cents per pound the past few days will be among the articles which will be raised by the druggists. Quinine pills, many patent medicines, numer- ous kinds of capsules and other small ware will be decreased SO as to mako the price correspond with the charge in other cities.
 Although the members of the as- sociation have been discussing for some time the advisibility of revising their price list, the proprietors of the stores outside the center have always fought to maintain the prices rather than to lower them. The merchants in the center declare that much transient trade is lost to them because the price asked for certain goods in this town is much greater than what Is demanded in other cities of the state
 The discussion came to. head at the meeting last week when the fol- lowing committee was appointed to revise the price list and to report at the next meeting: Miles McCarthy. Robert Walker and c. H. Newton.
 As Messrs Walker and Mccarthy are proprietors on the outside. the outside dealers will have the ad- vantage over the dealers near the center who are represented by Mr Newton.

MAY BE BIGAMlST
Man Who Took Money From
 Austin & WoOdruii's.

Archibald P. Patton, who until a couple of weeks ago was employed in the store of Austin & Woodruff on East Main street, is held at Newburg, N. Y., as he is wanted in this city for embezzlement and will in all probability be forced to answer a charge of bigamy. The police have had warrant out for him for two weeks, but immediately after quit ting Austin & Woodruff's paint store. from which he took $75, he left town. Acquisition papers will be se- cured to-day and one of the detec- tiyes of the local department will leave for Newburg tomorrow to bring the prisoner to this city.
 The case Is similar to that of Fred c. Tremmel, who about one month ago was bound oyer to the superior court on the charge of bigamy. All though he had a wife and family in Boston, he wooed another young lady, Miss Etta Kempner of Hart ford, and they were married in this city. A few days later Tremmel was arrested and is now awaiting trial, as cause was found in the city court to bind him over.
 Patton entered the employ of the local store on March 1, coming from the Bolner-Preston concern in Hart ford. He was not suspected of being crooked in any way and handled much money during the month he was in the store. On Thursday, March 2S, the day before Good Fri day, Patton was ordered to close up the store and to place the money, which amounted to about $75, in the safe. He closed up all right, but he failed to follow the instructions in regard to the money. He did not put in an appearance next morning and as MT Austin found the safe un- locked, with no money in it, he quickly tumbled and knew that Patton had gone with the cash.
 In all probability the police would have found it difficult to get on the trail of Patton had he taken the time to destroy the telephone slips at the store. It was by means of these that the detectives discovered that he fre- quently 'phoned to Miss Rena Green, who was employed as stenog- rapher in the Corbin Lock Works, New Britain. Upon investigation it was learned that Miss Green had left New Britain in company with Patton on Easter Sunday. It came to the ears of the police that Patton had a brother working in the Waterbury clock factory from whom the infor- nation was received that the couple were married in New York on the Sunday they left New Britain. The ceremony was performed by the Rev Harlan c. Mendellhall, pastor of the Westminster church at West Twen- ty-third street, near Seventh avenue
 Paton's first wife and three chill dren reside at IT Goodwin street, Hartford, and it is believed that she will testify strongly against the ac- cused when he is tried for bigamy in the Capitol city. It is said that she first learned of her husbands second venture in matrimony through an item in New York paper, and she immediately got into communication with the local police.
 Prosecuting Attorney Meigs will endeavor to get the requisition pa- pers to-day from Governor Woodruff and tomorrow detective will leave for Albany and after delivering the papers to Governor Hughes, will take charge of Patton and bring him to this city.
