ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion Theater.

William A. Brady's Way Down East" with it's typical characters of old New England, with its realistic stage pictures of their environments, it's famous snow storm and the other scenic features, is the attraction at the Hyperion for three nights commencing tonight.
 The popularity of this rural drama does not seem to Wane despite its sev- eraI seasons of remarkable. success. The majority of ttleater- -goers have seen the play several times, but they will go again, enjoying it with even greater fervor than on previous visits. The characters of the play have become old acquaintances, and seeing them again is apparently like a visit amid familiar scenes. On the other hfand, Way Down East" has clientele peculiarly it's own. The purity and sweetness of its story and the moral of it's points appeal to class of people seldom seen
 at other attractions. Managers of the aters are authority for the statement that there are more strange faces in the theater during an engagement of ! Way Down East" than any other time | during the year.

BRYAN ADOPTED SON.
Young Japanese Is a Member Of the
 Family Circle.

 Family Circle.
 The Bryon household of late years since the elder daughter, Ruth, was married-has consisted of Mir and Mrs. Bryon, the son, William J., Jr.; a daughter, Grace and an adopted son from the fowery empire of the Mikado The last figure bears eloquent testi- mony not merely to Mir. Bryons cos-' mopolitan fame, but to his good-hu- mored philosophy. It appears that in Japan an aspiring youth can adopt some man of eminence as his father, and immeorial custom compels the person thus honored to take and care for the founding. at least until he comes to the age for self-support. In 1896 the fame ofthe Democratic can didate penetrated to the cherry groves of Japan and fired the ambition of a young student.
 T have chosen you to be my father" he wrote in effect to the Nebraskan, "and will sail at once for the United States"
 The message aroused some natural trepidation in the household at Lin coin. Father-in-law are chosen often enough without their knowledge and consent, but to have the responsibili- ties of percentage suddenly thrust up- on one by an unknown youth of alien race is at least disconcerting. Appleals to the Collector of the Port at San Francisco to avert the yellow peril were unavailing.
 Japs may rush in where Chinese l fear to tread, and to select an Amer ican politician for father does not seem to come within the purview of thestatue which prohibits laborers under contract from entering our country. So one morning MT. Bryon answering in person ring at the door as is the simple custom of the fam l ily-was confronted by trim Japan ese boy who remarked, with simple directness;
 T have come"
 l The statement was incontrovertible; the situation delicate. To repulse a l less and oppressed seemed impossible So the lad was made welcome, and has since been literally one of the family, even adopting it's name. Ht has received the same education thai

oUINNIPIACK CLUB.

The annual dinner of the Quinntpiack club will be held next Monday evening at the club house and it will be a nota- ble one. The toast list is an especially strong one, with Secretary William H. Taft of the war department included among the four speakers. The other remarkable feature will be the Indian spirit which will pervade the affair from start to finish and call forth many merry ha! ha!
 Besides Secretary Taft the speakers will be President Hadley of Yale, Thomas M. Waller of New London, former governor of Connecticut, and Professor E. Reed of Yale. Colonel Norris G. osborn will preside. All of the speakers will respond to Indian toasts, and all the club men will try hard to behave in a manner worthy of Old Chief Quinnipiack, the reputed founder of the club.
 The decorations will be Indian, and the menu will be Indian also.

ETHEL BARRYMORE.

Miss Ethel Barrymore. who will be seen in her great success, Captain links" at the New Haven Theater on Saturday night, February 16, was re- gently asked if she intended to one day essay the big roles-especially the Shakespearian heroines.
 Doesn't Juliet tempt you?' she was asked.
 "Oh. yes" Miss Barrymore replied, ''but then you must remember that am not possessed with the craving to do such parts. Some day I shall per haps play the impulsive Capulet child, but not yet"
 Do you recall a remark of yours about Juliet which went the rounds of the press a few seasons ago to the ef- feet that when an actress was old enough to feel the role she couldn't look it, and so spoiled the character. and when she was young enough in. years she was not old enough in pas sion."
 Well, that's perfectly true. She is complex as to age and feeling. Tn my opinion. however, it is not so difficult to play big roles as it is smaller ones where one must be perfectly natural in word and gesture, The slightest artifi-

 On this particular Sunday afternoon the men were passing the time as best they could gathered around the bunk cars, when one of them noticed, the camp cat circling around certain spot on the right-of-way The cat was flashing itself with her tail and seem ed wild with fright and fury.
 The workers gathered quickly, form ing ring, and the reason for the cats strange action was found to be a large [ rattler, coiled into the sand, with it's head raised to strike and it's rattles playing a lively hum of warning. | The cat paid no attention to the gathering of the men and the crowd remained quiet, watching proceedings, curious to see what would be the out come.
 I Round and round went Tabby, each ! time making the circle smaller With { eyes shining lige living coals of fire, her fur stood on end and the white. 1 froth streamed from her champing jaws. Crouching low, carefully and guardedly she crept nearer and nearer ito the deadly foe.
 Giving the reptile flop, to prevent it reaching her, and before her ac- tions could be fully comprehended by the watching throng, the cat was out of harms way again going round and round, still frothing at the mouth and still flashing her tail.
 Again and again was this perform ance repeated, until it could be seen that the descendant of the tiger fam- fly had conqured mankind's most hated enemy
 Finally, the snake struck more feebly and recoiled more slowly Then Tabby succeeded in sinking her teeth
 in the snakes neck. This time she did not let go her hold, but crunched and l crunched until she had finished her job and killed the enemy.
 That night there was but little said

RARE JEWELS.

Heirs to the cream of the alchemists, who sought to transmute base metals into gold, many scientists to-day are striving to unite the cheap elements which make up precious stones, and so to build us jewels while we wait Theoretically, the difficulty of counter feiting that welding point of heat and pressure which existed when the mol ten earth was cooling is very great. Apparently it can be done. Whoever fuses alumina with chromium oxide in the oxy-hydrogen flame may obtain a veritable ruby. The diamond is a tougher opponent, but Moissan points out the road to success. By saturating molten iron with carbon in the electric furnace at temperature of thirty five hundred degrees, and then suddenly cooling the mass, he produces the pres sure necessary to crystalline the car bon, and obtained minute but real dia- monds. Lately Sir Andrew Noble ob- tained a worlds record temperature of twenty-five hundred degrees from the pressure of cordite exploded in closed vessels of iron, and in the residue of the explosion chamber small diamonds were found. In the near future, per haps, methods will be found of produc- ing all crystals in the size, homogenei- ty of texture, and coloring which make them precious stones. No longer, then, will the bood-stained gems of Indian princes glow in the pages of sixth-rate novels. In our children's children, 1t may be, the tales of the Arabian Nights" will wake no visions of un- earthly wealth, and the adventure of Mowgli with the Bandar-hog of the Forgotten City will have to be ex- pained.-Colier's

Etienne Girardot, in his merry com- edy, "Charley's Aunt" will be the of fering at the Hyperion next Monday and Tuesday evenings.
 'Charley's Aunt was. revived in New York last spring and immediately leap- ed into great popularity, and crowded and fashionable audiences regularly followed it's highly amusing develop ments with every token of pleasure. 1t is doubtful if there be any play of any age or character that is better patron ized than "Charley's Aunt" which en- forces. all of it's original fun through the efforts of Etienne Girardot, the clever comedian wllo first introduced to Americans this sparkling comedy. The company supporting MT. Girardot is re- ported to be as clever as the one that first made "Charley's Aunt known in this country

'DlIou Thenter,

"The Circus Girl rip-roaring com edy drama by Sydney Grundy, is the cause of all the merriment at the Bijou this week. The piece is scream from start to finish. The play opens under a full head of steam and the throttle is not closed until the curtain drops on the last act. Not this season has the stock company presented a comedy which for pure and unadulterated fun could begin to compare with 'The Cir GUS Girl"
 Lawrence B. McGill and Dorothy Lamb share honors as the center of att traction, the former as an English flop and the latter in the title role. Arthur Hummingtop, the central figure of the story, is played by Cameron Clemens in an undeniable manner. The work of Edith Crciius as the mother-in-law is perfect in presenting typical comic magazine dragon of watchful moth- er-in-law.

KNOX GETS HIS SENTENCE
MAN WHO SHOT KELLY GETS
 FITE TO SLYEN FEARS.

Judge Case's Charge to Jury Was Very
 Impartial--Jury's Verdict and the
 Sentence Freely Commented Upon
 Around the City Last Night, and in
 Most Cases Met With General Ap-
 provnI.
 At o'clock yesterday afternoon the jury in the Knox murder trial brought in a verdict of manslaughter against the prisoner. The verdict of the jury was the theme for general conversa- ton aound the city last night, and the concensus of opinion seemed to be to the effect that the jury had taken a very sensible view of the tragedy. and that the sentence pronounced by Judge Case on the prisoner was sufficient un- der the circumstances to meet the ends of justice.
 Judge Cases charge consisted of two parts, the first dealing with the mat ter in abstract form, and the second taking up the details of the present case specifically. The conciseness and lucidness of the charge was the subject of general comment among many of the veteran attorneys who gathered to hear it.
 He set forth the claims of the state and of the defense with unalterable impartiality and outlined the guiding posts to the different verdiets possible as the facts might seem to warrant. He concluded by pointing out the diff ferences between murder in the first and second degrees, manslaughter, and under what circumstances a verdict oi not guilty would be warrantable.
 The crime for which Knox stood in dicted for murder in the first degree was the shooting of Frederick M. Kel- ley on New Years night on Church street. Never in the history of crinlina' cases of such magnitude in this city l has the culmination of a long trial fol 1 lowed so closely upon the event fol which the accused has been held. Only a month ago, on the eve of the pronis. ing New Year, Knox fired the shot that cut if the life of Kelley, and yester. | day the jury rendered it's verdict.

Chief Dingwall Says Department Wants
 More Hydrants and Hose--Speciul
 Police to Act at Fires Also Advised
 Public Meeting May be Held to Dis-
 cuss Situation.
 A special meeting of the Westville board of education was held at the school house and the main topic of dis cGssion was that of improvements to the local fire department. After the presentation of minor bills which had accumulated since the last regular meeting and the reports of the commit tee appointed to investigate the request of Mrs Jane Hildreth, who asked that the board abate her taxes for 1906, which matter was laid on the table for future investigation, the board got down to the matter of improving the department facilities in fighting fires. Chief Dingwall was present to offer
  such suggestions and to answer the numerous questions put to him by the various board members. Chief Ding wall appealed to the board for more hose and hydrants. Tn speaking of the necessity of having more hose, he said that the department at the present time had about 70 feet of hose which could be depended upon and that the re- malnder was old and treacherous. He suggested that the board furnish 500 or 800 feet more which would give the de- partment a sufficient length for its im- mediate requirements.
 Chief Dingwall was able supported by Attorney William F. tAlcorn on the fire question. Michael J. Powers spoke on the advisability of securing special po- lice to act at fires.
 A vote was passed that committee oi three be appointed by President l. Wheeler Beecher to act for the board in conjunction with Chief Dingwall an6 the officers of the fire department, ant the following committee was appoint ed: William F. Alcorn, George M. Gris wold. and Charles IA Marvin.
 A public meeting will be called nex week at which all matters pertaining tt improvements for the fire protection o Westville can be discussed by citizens taxpayers and firemen.
 The baord finds it's necessary to bor row from the National Tradesmen bank of New Haven the sum of $2.OO with which to pay bills. The shoTtag of funds is caused by the fact that tn money. received from tax collections Q of last year has been used for curren bills and that there will be no nor taxes coming to the board until April.

CAT KILLS "RATTLER."

Kitten Strays Into Railroad Camp
 and Fights Reptile to a Finish.
 Life in a railroad construction camp at it's best is hard hum-drum exist ence, but men, no matter where they are or what may be the -cinditions un- der which they earn and eat their daily bread, will find some way to pass the tedious hours while they rest their weary frames.
 Such a camp was the scene of one of the strangest battles between two widely different species of living be- ings one warm Sunday afternoon three years ago.
 The place was in the Great Western Railway, among the rugged hills of Iowa, just over the Minnesota line. It was there that a gang of about 100 men watched a fight to the death be- tween mans worst enemy, big rat tlesnake, and the pet of the camp, a half-grown kitten.
 Somehow, from somewhere, this kit ten had come and cast it's lot among the rough laborers, attracted perhaps by the promise of food from the com

New Haven Theatre.

Joe Welch and his latest play, "The will be the attraction at the New Haven Theater tonight and to-riorrow night, for two nights only. MT. Welch needs little introduction to local play-goers. He is without doubt the best exponent of a certain type of Hebrew before the public. As Morris Goldberg, a mender and maker of shoes. MT. Welch is said to have made the hit of his long and successful career. The character is rather new to the stage. It embodies all of the in- gradients of a man who measures every one by his own trustful and confiding nature, The humor and tragic side of Morris Goldberg's life is portrayed with sonsunnate skill by Mir, Welch, whose versatileity as character actor and comedian is well known, There is not a dull period in the four acts of this new play which. according to unbi- ased critics, is the best play ever writ ten by Hal Reid, a playwright who has turned out many successful melodra- mas, For strong characterization and pretentious scenic investiture "The Shoemaker" easily ranks with any pro duction on the boards to-day, It is un- doubtedly the dramatic treat of the season, for it contains plenty of real heart interest, comedy, laughter and tears. The cast supporting MT Welch this season is the most capable array of actors ever mustered for one pro. duction. The play must be seen to be appreciated. There will be no devia- tion from the usual standard of popu- lar prices.

A DEsPERATE CHANGE.

Never has greater success attended any theatrical production than that which has been accorded "A Desperate Chance" the attraction at the New Haven Theater on Monday and Tues day nights of next week. While telling the story of the Riddle Brothers and their escape by the aid of the jail war den's wife from the Pittsburg prison, the play embraces a great moral lesson that is of benefit to young and old folks alike. It is a melodrama that appeals to all, irrespective of age and class.

Pretty Julia Sanderson heads Polls vaudeville bill this week, and she is making the biggest hit of the season with her Teddy Bear song and the in- troduction of the live Teddy bear.

Immensaphone will in terest the phonograph devotees, and Volta will be a great big question mark all week. Volta lights gas jets with the tip of his tongue. He is a marvel in the electrical line.
