Now, in the work of converting BIZ

The business Of converting bitum-

carried on by rule of thumb. Even at
the present time the process is usual

annually thrown away, though they

Ninety and Nine at the New Haven.
There is no 1attery SO flattering to
the modern playwright as that evinc-
ed when the audience becomes inter-
ested enough to inquire whore the
characters were secured and if they
were taken from real life, and the fact
that they ask the question shows with
what fidelity the author has builded
his play, for the patron wishes to veri-
fly the opinion that there exists some-
where an original for the counterfeit,
When the Ninety and Nine was CIV
en- its initial production at the Acad-
emy of Music New York, the manage
Iment received a score or more of let
tiers from the patrons of the house
asking where such and such of the
characters were taken from and the
success of the piece can largely be at
tributed to the interest created by the
mastery manner in which the author
| has handled his mime folks of the
stage. And while it is true that he se-
lected a region rich in opportunity for
the laying of the scenes of the play,
he has shown splendid conception of
the idea the simple living country folks
of the Hoosier state and his treat
ment of the theme suggested by that
world widely known hymn from which
the title is taken, has resulted in a
imelo-drama of such excellence as to
Survive a third season and to be still
on the top wave of prosperity

nounced for the opening attraction of

ven theater on Monday night, August

GET CAR ON NEAR SIDE.
To-Day Begins the New Rule of One
Stop Only at Church and Chapel


The trolley patrons to-day viii have
to observe the new rule regarding the
place for getting on and off trolley
cars at Church and Chapel streets
The regulation is now in effect and
canvas banners bearing information to
the effect that cars will stop only at
the near side of the crossing will greet
the gaze. They will be left up long
enough to educate the public to the re-
versed order of things. The change
was made by the trolley company in
THE hope that it would relieve conges-
ton at this point Cars will make but
one stop and that will be before they
reach the crossing. For instance, car
bound down Chapel street will stop in
front of the pump, both to take on and
leave off passengers and will not stop
again until it gets'to Orange street.
This viii be a great improvement
when the public gets on to the swing
of it.
