New Hnycn Thentre.

MT. Woods latest addition to his long list of successes is entitled "The Gam bier of the West" the attraction at the New Haven theater tonight, Friday and Saturday nights and at the satur- day matinee at the regular popular prices. It is a sensational representa- tion of life on the western border, when the camps of miners and Indians, both moro or less on the warpath, were pitched within very noticeable proximl- ty to each other in the foothills of the mountains and on the plains. The play abounds in narrow escapes of hero and heroine, in the rough characters of the surroundings, in the reckless life of the times and is replete with realistic stage effects, paraphernalia, etc, ap- propriate to the atmosphere and locale of the play. an old stage coach that has done actual service on the plains being used, real bronchos and one edu- cated horse that raises an American flag to signal an attack on desperadoes, a realistic prairie fire which is really a wonderful electrical invention which causes the stage to seem to be ablaze, throwing bowie knives and lassos and all the other accomplishments of In dians and cowboys. IA story of true heart interest is cleverly unfolded by the author, Owen Davis, through the rapid succession of thrilling and soul stirring scenes and situations. In the end a young brother is united to a searching sister, in the person of a lit tie war pain bedaubed Indian called Little Great Bear, who was stolen away from her parents by the Indians a few years before and the sister finds an honest heart under t'e rough exter- for of young gambler who saves her from the plots of desperado and a black leg half brother who try to force her to marry the desperado in order to rob her of her fortune.

ERTAINMENTENTS.
HxnerIon Theater.

On Monday evening next, at the Fly perion theater, Margaret Wycherly will appear for the first time on any stage in new four-act drama by Bayard Veiller, called The Primrose Path.n The author has a special request that no advance description of the play will be offered to the public before the first performance. MT. Veiller is anxious that his story, which is written around atnew theme, should only be judged as a dramatic presentation.
 The play deals with the lives of an artist and a Devonshire lass. The first scene is laid in the Latin fuarter in Paris, tae second in a Harlem fiat, the third in the Newton Endowed Art school of New York city, and the fourth in the home of MT. Cartwright, multi millionaire of J. F. Morgan type, whose personal hobby is the gathering of things artistic.

Miss Wycherly was last seen here in "Cashel Byron's Profession" Last season this talented actress, was seen in the leading houses of New York city in her famous protean sketch, 'In Self Defense" In this sketch Miss Wycher- ly played all of the five female parts, and, in addition, the male rwole of a French chauffeur. This act was big success, and her tour is just terminat- ing, having run from coast to coast.
 It is, however, for her own produc- ton of the Yeats" plays that Miss Wycherly is best known in New Eng land. These she produced for some ten weeks in Boston and for a season of special matinees in New York. The productions received much favorable criticism, but, like many another artist the actress found that artistic success was not always financial one. Before the Yeats productions Miss Wycherly toured the country as leading woman with Ben Greet, to whom and to Rich ard Mansfield she attributes much of her undoubted ability.
 Additional performances of "The Primrose Path" will be given on Tues day and Wednesday evenings.

THEFTs FROM A MUSEUM.

How Valuable Swords Were Taken
 From Cases at South Kensington.
 South Kensington has at rare inter- vals had an interesting series of raids, says the London Tatler. First there was the robbery in the early days of the museums existence of a gold watch of great value, which could have been brought home to a certain guardian if the authority in charge had wished. Then there was the won- derful sword robbery, when one even Ing in on of the chief courts a great smash of glass was heard. The police and officials rushed to the spot, had all doors closed (the spot was far from the entrance and exit and then ex- amined the great case which had been broken open, when it was found that a valuable sword was missing.
 A careful examination was made of the few persons still remaining at that late hour in the gallery before they were allowed to depart, and fin ally, when the hopelessness of the quest became apparent, the police and officials left the spot. But not for a minute.
 Anoth smash was heard from the same place. The officials rushed back. Another sword had gone from an- other case. But all was still-no one was in the place, no one in hiding and a thorough search revealed no trace of any kind.
 The robber was never discovered, but later on it dawned on at least one sarewd official that the thief had cooly occupied place of refuge in one of the old Italian cassoni or chests, on exhibition close by, and had worked from there; that he may have been ther fore hours on the watch and was prepared after running back to his place of concealment to remain perdn in the box until the next morning, when on the doors being opened he could seize favorable opportunity to mix with the early visitors, with the swords safely tucked up his back un- der his overcoat.

A TUNNEL ABOVE GROUND.
Sections of Paris Subway Being Built

Sections of Paris Subway Being Built
 in the Srett.
 Building tunnel in the open air is the somewhat contradictory descrip- ton of what is going on now in Paris Not only the tunnel but the under ground stations for Ntha metropolitan subway for that city are being con- tsructed on public street and when comleted will be sunk into osition
 The main line of the Metropolitan Railway crosses the two branches of the Seine and the island which sepa- rates them. That portion of the line which crosses the island is being built in the street, where the great steel framework, rising to the top of the third story of abutting buildings, att tracts much attention.
 The sections which are to cross the river have been described in Papular Mechanics, They were built on lond and fioated to location, where they are being sunk to the required level be- low the bottom of the river The land and water sections mentioned are 5,S0O feet in length.
 When completed the inside measure nent of the tunnel will be seventy eight feet wide by fifty-six feet high. There are two land sections, 1.500 feet and 1900 feet long respectively. In- side the steel framework will be placed a thick lining of concrete to exclude water, while the sides and arch will be covered with white enamelled tiling and the floor with cut stone blocks and slabs, upon which the track will be laid. When the metal section is finished excavation will be made be- reath 1t and the great mass allowed to settle to permanent position at the proper depth.
 Two stations are included in the work described, both located on the island. These are obtained by enlarg ing the tunnel to ring shaped con- |struction, with provision for ticket offices, waiting rooms &c.
 One of the stations with 800 feet of tunnel weighs 1S,000 tons. The project is one of the largest and most interest," ing engineering undertakings in the world at the present. When the tup- nel and stations have been sunk the street will be replaced and paved as before Ali the riveting is being done with pneumatic hammers of American make.

"GAY NEW YORK. !"

It is the big affair in the res m of musical comedy that tells the plainest and most plausible story of all around success in these progressive days, and that is the reason wh5 theatrical man agers are striving so hard to outshine competition.
 Gay New York, which comes to the New Haven theater Monday Tues day and wednesday nights next week. with matinee Wednesday, with its car load of scenic grandeur and with more than half hundred ladies and gentle men who have achieved fame in one direction or another by the arts em- plcyed towards finishing an entertain ment of zest and quality, is perhaps one of the most glaring examples of what managerial extravaganza can ac- complish, for according to well authen- tic reports, it fairly outstrips in mag nitude of production and overshadows
 in fun and music talent any similar en- terprise before the public, besides in the general beauty of it's female con- tingent it absolutely excels. Pretty girl ish faces and the magnifcence Of cos- tune details are potent factors in an up-to-date musical comedy, and the assurance Is given that Gay New York furnishes a proper appreciation of these requisites. The desire to pass judgment upon this offering is especial ly great, as 1t is announced that addi- tional interest is given it, for the req son of a capital story told in the pre- sentatlon of an enormous quantity of novel and effective features. Regular popular prices.
