and this. went into effect on Monday
This is the first shutdown for more

She first appears Oh the scene laborlously dragging her trunk from tho railway station, and then ensues a series of dialogues with her prospective husband and sister-in-law. In these and the accompanying action there are revelations of character admirably dif- ferential by the author of the little play, and played with unusual skill and comic and emotional effects by Miss Maude Hall as the magpie, Carleton Macy as the Jay, and Miss Jessie Dodds as the old maid Mir. Weitzel has here demonstrated his knowledge of stage technic, his accuracy of observation and his minute acquaintance with the curi- ous but expressive lingo of the Bowery. There is not a supertiuous line of writ ing and no tedious padding In the way of business to give the performance length of duration, and no departure from the profluent course of develop ment. The ending is original, and the process of approaching 1t is an inspira- tion.

Champagne Drinking Made Ensy.

Explaining the greatly increased con- sumption of champagne in this coun- try, a Fifth avenue hotel proprietor said yesterday: Many persons who formerly avoided the bubbling wine of France out of fear of a headache or an attack of gout the morning after have learned thoroughly the value of the English custom of drinking ApolIinaris at a dinner at which they partake of champagne'' He explained that the Apollinaris, with it's moderate amount of 'bi-carbonate of soda, was sufficient ly alkaline to remove acidity of the stomach, and containing its own nat ural gas, it was additionally pleasant and wholesome. He pointed out that the London Lancet and medical au- thorbties in general asserted that car- bonic acid gas was an aid to digestion New York Press.

New Haven Theater.

The action of Eileen Ashtore (Ellen
 my treasure), the new play by Theo- dore Burt Sayre which Chauncey Ol-
 colt is presenting this season, which
 comes to the New Haven theater on Tuesday night, April IS, takes place in
 and around Dublin during the year 1894 and concerns the fortunes of Richard
 Temple, a warm-hearted, hct-headed young gentleman of the period, who
 though well endowed with virtues has found vice so attractive that he Is well
 on his way down the road to ruin. He has squandered his fortune with his
 boon companions and owing to his profigacy has had his name erased from his fathers will and as the play opens is harassed by tradesmen wbo have become impatient because of his neglect of their long overdue accounts.
 Just as he is planning with his faithful old servant to fly the country and enlist under Napoleon's ensign, chance throws hlll into contact with Eileen O'DonnelL dainty Irish maiden, and at once
 glance of her eye he is hopelessly er-
 tangled and vows a thorough reloIma-
 tion in his life. Then there are months If probation during which his quick. wit. genial good-humor and manly it.
 tributes win him the esteem of all His suit with Eileen, too. seems to pros2u
 when an unhappy event occurs. Eileen has another sultor, an English rioble- man, Sir Godfrey Loftus by name, who ss most insistent In his campaign. Eileen, however, really loves Richard Temple, but keeps her own counsel Sir Goeffrey suspecting this, learns through treachery that Eileens br3th- CT, Rodney, is concerned in levolu- tlonary plot the discovery of winch to the proper authorities would mean the loss Of his head. He holds this threat over her-marry him. and he will save Rodney-Refuse him and Rodney dies. Into this breach young Temple throws himself and matches wit with wit, risk ing his life, his honor, and even the good opinion of Eileen to foil Sir Goef- frey. The interest is wrought to a fey- CT heat and sustained throughout, but there is no dearth of humor and the delightful love scenes for which MT. olcott is famed. Incidental to the ac- tion of the drama MT. Olcott sings four new songs especially written and com posed by him for this play Manager Augustus Pitou has provided splen- did production and the scenic embellish- ment is a notable one Seats now on sale,

The Bijou,

This afternoon at the Bijou the stock company will be seen in the initial per- formance in the weeks production of Clyde FitctIs grand historical play, Nathan Hale" The production of this play by the stock has aroused great interest among local patriotic organ izations, This afternoons matinee will be witnessed by the members of the Ladies' Relief corps of the Union Vet erans union, and on Thursday a large delegation from the Daughters of the American Revolution will be present, seats for them having already been en- gagged.
 In ais play MT. Fitch has stuck close to historical facts, and while the piece is one of the few plays with an un- happy ending, it nevertheless carries through it a pretty romance which is most pleasing. Lawrence B. McGill is to be seen in the title role It is a part to which he is well adapted, and the production will be the best one of the piece ever offered in this city at popu- lar prices.
 Little Mabel Miller, who scored such hit last week in illustrated songs. has been re-engaged for the week. There will be the usual bargain matinees, with special souvenir matinees Friday and Saturday.

So Says General Manager Higgins Re

Higgins said that any such report is wholly erroneous. "The company has ordered but S6 electric locomotives in all,' he said, "and has received only few of them to date. These few have been tried on themselves and in no case drawing a themselves and in n ocase drawing .a train. But the company is confident that they will do the work for which they are ordered.''

"IsLE OF spIcE.n

B. F. Whitney's beautiful and gor- of Spice" will be at the New Haven theater on Wednesday, April r, mati- nee and night. There is much in the ''Isle of Spice" will be at the New Haven theater on Wednesday, April 1, matinee and night There is much in "The Isle of Spice" that makes it pop- ular. There are tuneful, catchy, musical numbers, dialogue that is sufficiently bright, gay costumes in abundance, and a large and capable company, in- cluding a chorus that combines the un- usual attributes of comeliness and good singing voices. In the scene and plot the "Isle of Spice conforms to all the traditions of the comic opera stage. The locale is oriental, the inhabitants of the ''Isle of Spice" resembling close ly the Japanese. The central figure is a charming little maiden of native origin, who loses her heart and mar ries a hobby naval lieutenant, just as the king of the isle. whose ward she is, is preparing to enroll her as No. 37 on his matrimonial list. Placing their scenes into dream countries, those who worked out the "Isle of Shce" display ed excellent appreciation of art The scenic effects are beautiful, while the iriental gowns and costumes, with the charming background, is very pleasing to the eye.
 The fun is fast and furious, and be- gins with Micky oGrady and slubsy Mackinaw drop on the island from their wrecked war balloon. Slubsy, in an effort to get his bearings, says; "Far off yon verdant hills,
 Beneath the sky of azure blue; Adown the gleaming hollow
 Of 8 sun-kissed vale or two. There waited comes the perfume
 From some aromatic grove '.' 'Tis the old familiar odor
 Of the drink-removing close"
 I'm on, I'm on" shouts Micky, in glee:
 Tt takes me back to married days.
 While stopping in the hall, I with it fast removed
 All traces of my last highban. Farewell the festive cocktail,
 Gin rickies' passed from life
 Just eat one little cloye, and then
