a stairw.v Of concrete.


One of the most novel, useful and
pleasing uses to which cement has
been put in interior construction is the
hanging concrete stairway. In its
construction no structural iron what
ever is used, only small channel bars
one-quarter inch by quarter inch
spaced about four inches and covered
with expanded metal lathing. The
false work can be removed In two
weeks. The stairway supports not
only Its own weight. but in addition,
1880 pounds of marble, and a load Of
1000 pounds lsas been carried up the
stairs without injury or detection.
Only the best quality cement should
be used in interior work. -Philadei-
phia Ledger.

Grays for several weeks and present indications are that the attendance at the three performances will be as large if not larger than those of last year. The Grays are most desirous of hay ing this so as the expense of putting on the production this year is over double that of staging the ''Mocking Bird, and those in the company have been compelled to work great deal harder on this more difficult piece than was the case last year. However, there has been an enthusiasm and interest in the work that has made the night after night of dreary and tiring re- hearsals seem less monotonous and tiresome than they would have been under ordinary circumstances.
 The committee in charge of the pro- duction for the Grays consists of Captain Edward Fox, chairman ex officio; Lieutenant Nathan B. Fitch, chairman; Lieutenant F. G. Crabb, Sergeant Joe Southerton, Sergeant E. P. Thompson, Sergeant Harry Jones, and Privates Burton Blatchley, Fred Russell, Judson Minor, Arthur Phil lips, Innis Osborn and Joseph Weibel. MT. Frank D. Nelson, who has staged the "Geisha,' will be musical director; Sergeant Harry Jones will fill the posi- ton of stage manager, and Private Judson Minor will worry away with the troubles of the property man, which are no small ones in the "Geisha."

New Haven Thcater.

"The Little Cherub,' the musical comedy sensation of the season, comes to the New Haven theater to-day, mat fnee and night, with Hattie Williams as the star, and a company of seventy other people, among whom are espe- cially noted Tom Wise, James Blake ley, Will West, May Naudain, Winona Winter, Mabel Mollins, Beth Stone and Andrew Higginson. ''The Little Cher ub' is by Owen HalL with music by Ivan Caryll authors of many popular musical plays. The production comes here with the original New York east scenery and costume, and it is expect ed that our theater-goers will be well pleased with the entertainment and the entertainers.

among the prettiest features of the 'Geisha," and the plot of the opera allows the producer an abundance of opportunity to work in the most charming of stage pictures, none of which opportunities Mir Nelson has all lowed to pass by him. Tn several of the tableaux which he has created the audiences will believe that they are looking upon stage with bank upon bank of flowers set off by the quaint costumes of the country, the twinkling lanterns in the dainty little tea house and the most artistic light effects.
 The Grays and their friends have been working on the "Geisha' now for over twelve weeks and with the mate rial which MT. Nelson has had at his command 1t would seem guarantee enough that the production will be near the goal which the local militia- men would like to attain, namely, a reputation in this line of works similar to that enjoyed for years by the Bos- ton cadets
 The "Geisha" has an unusually large number of catchy songs which the au- diences will no doubt go away from the theater humning or whistling. And in order that there be no fall in the general average of these, MT. Nell son has taken out g number of the

HIS SKIN TRANSFERRED.

 Grafted on Hand and Scalp.

Taken from Frank Millett's Leg and
 Grafted on Hand and Scalp.
 Dr. E. E. Rowell Jr., performed a difficult skin grating operation on Frank Millett, the young son of Martin Millett of No 279 Elm street. He re- moved from the boys leg, circular section of skin about half an inch in diameter and transplanted it success fully on the palm of his right hand. Another strip, about an inch long and half an inch wide, was grafted on the top of the scalp. Dr. Everett B. Powell assisted in the operation. which at this writing mas every indication of being successful.
 The little Millett boy was hurt about a month ago, while playing near his home in Elm street. He caught hold of a live electric wire, and the palm and fingers of his right hand were burned badly The shock threw him to the ground. and his head struck street railroad track and was cut so badly the scalp was opened right into the bone. The burns also were severe so severe that the 'tendons of the hand were exposed. Two weeks ago pr. Powell had to amputate twd of the injured fingers. Both operations were performed at the boys home.- Stamford Advocate.

songs which appeared in the original score and substituted others which bid fair to rival even the pretty musi- cal numbers sung by Jimmie Powers and his company, However, those who enjoyed the "Geisha' when 1t was en tour several years ago, will still find among the musical numbers such songs as 'The Jewel of Asia" one of the greatest hits of it's time. Monkey on a Stick "A Chin Chin Chinaman,"
 'Chon Kina' "Nappy Nap Nappy," and the Goldfish Song" and it will be found that in their simplicity as compared with some of the musical numbers of, light operas of to-day they will be as charming as they were when first introduced to the theater going public of the United States ten years ago. In fact while the arrangement of the chorus features are all harmonous there is in them all the simplicity that marked those productions which were successes before the essentially mod ern light opera became the rage.

A GREAT TENOR.
BurgstalIer's Programme Is 2 Versatile
 One


 The "golden-voiced" tenor, Alloys Burgstaller, who is to give a song re- cital in Woolsey hall on Monday night, will demonstrate several interesting facts in the course of the evening.
 For one thing, he will prove that the greater the artist the more beautifully simple is he in his art; that rare voice can sing simple lied with such charm and tenderness that the effect is as i'm pressive as when he is half declaiming a great Wagner aria with hundred instruments playing away In the or chestra pit at the Metropolitan Opera house.
 As a matter of fact, the programme on Monday night will be characterized by it's simplicity, the great tenor hay ing elected to sing here a list of the most perfect examples of the lied, songs full of glorious melody. Some of them will be heard here for the first time.
 It is versatile list of songs and will show the great tenor in every mood dramatic and tragic songs, simple and tender songs and songs of quaintly humorous character.
 Surely New Haven has a chance to hear one of the greatest voices in the world, and under the most glowingly congenial conditions. The expense of bringing Burgstaller to New Haven Is heavy, and it is greatly to be hoped that the advantages the university de- partment of music offers the communi- ty will be appreciated.

The annual spring regatta will be held this year on Saturday, May Il. Contrary to custom, it has been decided by Captain Tde and Coach Kennedy to hold the regatta upon the harbor in stead of upon Lake Whitney, as hereto fore. This is due to the fact that Lake Whitney has invar- iebly proved markedly detrimental to the progress of the crews and repre- sents a two-day' loss of practice.
