"Around the Clock" {"

Pantomime, comedy, music, vaude- vile, satire and novelty is combined in the mirthful melodious connection called 'iAround the Clock, with the famous funmakers, the RltchiS London Cbmedy company in the leading roles, The comedy will be the next offering at the New Haven theater Thursday Friday and Saturday nights this week with matinee Saturday.
 ''Around the Clock" is by Frank Huffman, well known as a dramatic author, and the music and lyrics were furnished by L. o. Smith and Sebas- tian Hitler. Around the Clock is un- doubtedly one of the most pretentious shows of its kind on the boards to- day. It fairly teens with originality which is something rare in this up-to- date and progressive theatrical era. The comedy was especially written and chosen to exploit the rare talents of the Ritchie comedians who became American favorites in an hour in their great and inimitable travesty called
 "A Night in a London Music Hall" This travesty was produced at all the principal variety theaters in the Unit ed States last season and the per | formers from across the sea more than duplicated their triumphs in their na- tive land. This incomparable band of performers haveSeven more latitude in

FINN5 NEED NOT ENLIST
s4,ooo,ooo FOR RUSSIA
Must be Paid Biennially to Se- cure Desired Exemption
 from Army Service.

Helsingfors, Oct 29-The diet to-day adopted by 1O4 votes to 91 the pro- posed appropriation for $4000,0OO as a biennial compensation to the Russian government for the exemption of Films from service in the Russian army. At the same time it plainly intimated that no further money for this purpose would be forthcoming, and 1t urged the emperor grand duke to re-establtsh the national army of Finland, It is un- derstood that the emperor grand duke insisted personally on this payment to which he considered Finland's faith to have been pledged.
 When the Russian government in 1905 yielded to the stubborn resistance of the Films and abandoned conscrip- ton the diet sanctioned compensa- tory payment which the government understood was intended to be perma- ment. The Films later obtained auto- nomy, and there was considerable op- position to the payment of the install ments of 1906 and 1907
 A bill prohibiting absolutely the manufacture of alcohol in Finland or its importation into the country, which involves another grave constitutional question, is to be voted on in the Fin Eish diet Oct. 31. The measure affects Russia's tariff relations with foreign nations, but the leading Finnish parties !, in the diet are committed to it.

MAY BE MISSING SHIP.
Wreck Seen Supposed to be the Arthur
 SewelI.

New York, Oct. 29.-Members of the Maritime exchange to-day felt some concern over the absence of news from the full rlgged ship Arthur Sewall, which sailed from Philadelphia on April for Seattle with crew of 40 men under command of Captain Jef- frey. Tn ordinary weather the ship would have reached Seattle in four months, but is now 218 days out.
 A letter was received at the Maritime exchange offices to-day, dated Punta Arenas, Straits of Magellan, August 91, stating that the steamer Fridtjof which arrived August 23 from seal ing cruise, reported having seen an unknown four masted sailing vessel standing in deep water on the south east corner of Noir Island, half way between Cape Pillar and Cape Horn, with her upper masts above water and royals set. There were traces that the crew had landed, but nothing was seen of them. The vessel evidently had not been there long,

NINE GENTS roo MUCH.
One Waterbury Man Won't Charge It,
 and Others Feel the Same.

Waterbury Oct. 29.-It was stated to- day that there was revolt among the members of the Waterbury Mnkman's association and that over one-third of the membership of the association would refuse to charge nine cents a bottle for milk. D. NJ. Rogers, who has publicly announced that he was going to kick over the traces, said that there were plenty of milkmen who were go- ing to do the same thing.
 Mir. Rogers said that eight cents a quart for bottled milk was about all that anybody could hope to get and he thought it was poor business rollcv to raise the price to nine cents. He said that he understood the prime movers in the nine cent scheme were R. r. Worden and A. O. Mitchell. who. he sail, desired to do all their bu7i- ness with bottled milk and didn't want to bother with the milk in cans.

"Blonde Typewriters" Head a Splendid Bill.
 A splendid bill at Polls this week. Regarding those blondes! They made a hit particularly down in front just as soon as the office opened and even af- ter the curtain dropped for Lemon City" the next sketch, the house would not hear of their leaving until they rushed to the footlights for half doz en encores. It's a snappy act with five snappy songs, all of which are of the whistling sort. "Dictation," "Flirta- tion," "schooldays," Bye, Bye, Dear Old Broadway" and Does Anybody Want a Blonde?' are their titles and the latter brought a chorus of 'Yesses" and frenzied applause.
 Johnny Stanley as the assistant boss of the office helps some. but his imita- tion of Eddie Foy was h s best bet. The blondes and the Gus Edward songs are the whole act.
 Rice & Provost in a knockout tumbling act as the grand finlle took second honors. The way one of them has of getting tangled up in the house furnishings, falling off the table, get ting both legs in one pant leg and reel ing over the footlights kept the hous9 in an uproar and netted the act unusu al applause for wihdup.
 Happy Jack Gardner, the man with the horn got third prize. Happy Jack has q few parodies on topics of the day that are new.
 Alsace & Lorraine in an up to date musical act elaborately staged made an excellent opening number. Paul Quinn and Joe Mitchell have some- thing new in Lemon Gfty,' a bur lesque on the many bogus land pro- noting schemes of the day,

"The Undertow" Proves the Hit of the
 Season.

The hit of the season at the Bijou is the offering this week, "The Under tow" Not in any of the plays pro- duced this season by Polls Own Stock company has the stock been seen to better advantage. This play is one that has unusual power and none of the effectiveness Of the play is lost in the production given by the stock.
 Stage Director Esmelton has cast his company most advantageously with the result that all parts evenly balance and afford finished produc- ton. Richard Gordon in the charac- ter of the hero, Richard Wells, is seen in a most ambitious character and his interpretation of it is not only inter- esting but excited the greatest appro- bation on the part of the audiences which have seen the play this week.
 All this week there will be daily souvenir matinees. On Friday there will be another of the grand double souvenir matinees Seats are now selling for all Of this week and pat rons of the Fiiou would do well to or der their seats in advance as the sale has been very larges

1hursday Nights Event, Appearance
 of Mime. Schumann-E -Eeink. Those who have never heard Mime. Schumann-Heink sing, the great con tralto who is to be heard at the Fly pcri02 on Thursday, October S1, her singing will certainly prove a revela- ton. It will not be in the voice alone, though it is broad, full of splendid musical quality and of a wholesome, hearty, appealing ring. It is not the Wocalism, which is of astonishing per lection and elocutionary finish; not al- together the expression, lyric and dramatic, which in its genius power speaks directly to the heart, not even all these things together; for there is an added personal charm, a mellow emotional element, vivid soulful ap- propriation of poesy and score, that furnish the inspiration and bring the voice and teehnic and expression to full value. And one does not feel the artist apart for rendition.
 She stands personally and artistical- ly in every song she sings, and she has created character or a picture, or an emotion, with each number of her program In the broad sweep of alteration, in the tender notes of love, in the accents of innocence or in the touch of humor, or in the simple ex- tolerance of songfulness, she appeals to the nearer heart to heart; she seizes upon him close with the intense vitality and easy naturalness and she holds him close with the force of her supreme art and by her royal right of genius.
 The program which she will sing at her concert here is one of the lit- most charm and is of variety to please all musical tastes.
