What seems to tickle the greater portion of every audience at Poli's this week is the sketch called Prom zaza to Uncle Tom" I haven't laughed at anything so much in long while, is the way most people put it. The flight across the slippery ice in the midst of downpour of a paper snow storm comes as a climax to pig bunch of laughs.
 There is nothing the matter with that swagger musical novelty, the Planophiends either The act Is said to cost life sized amount. The dres8es themselves are adorable, so the femi- nine portion of the audience agrees. The songs and music offered are not so bad.
 "Inasmuch as you do good unto Inc least of these. you have done good unto me" is the keynote of the touching one-act play, "The Counsel for the IJe- fcnse,' in which Mir, and Mrs. Robyns cleverly take part There is a laugh here and there in it. too, for those who look for nothing but amusement in vaudeville.

COMPANY WITHOUT OFFICERS
Trouble Over Militia Shoot Scores in
 Hartford.

The resignation of Second Lieutenant LaRoy G. Gile, Company H, First h. fantry. c. N. G., of Hartford, has been accepted in an order issued from the office of the adjutant general and as this leaves Company II without cap- tain, first or second lieutenant Colonel John Hickey, commanding the First Infantry, has detailed Captain H. J. Boomer to act as captain, hoping thus {, put an end to the trouble which has arisen because, it is alleged, of faulty r ports made by the officers of the rifle score of the company during the past
 car.
 Every effort has been made to keep the cause of the recent troubles in the company from the public, but when following close upon the resigna ton two weeks ago of Captain John J. Gro- gan, came the resignation Of First Lieutenant James J. Garvey, many re ports began to be circulated, The res ignation of Second Lieutenant Gile leaves the company without any com missioned officers and it is expected that there will be no election for som. time

IN COMA A WEEK.
Christmas Toys shown Little New York Girl to Awaken Her Senses.

New York, Dec. 25--A pathetic Christmas time incident has become the talk of the physicians here. Edith Wardrop. young girl who lost all her faculties as a result of a sudden fright last week, still lies in a state of coma here in the Lincoln hospital Doctors and nurses are straining every effort to restore her to, sensibility. Her cot is surrounded with pretty Christmas offerings from relatives, and the nurses and her brother bends constant ly to ask if che realizes that this is Christmas, and vainly endeavor to make her realize that she is surround ed with Christmas tokens.
 To-day she entered upon the one hundred and thirty-sixth hour of coma and so far medical skill has been un- able to assist her more than to keep her heart barely beating. The case is so strange that many doctors have visited the hospital to study it, and this afternoon a consultation was scheduled in a determined effort to save her life.
 Edith, whose home is at Mount Kis- co, was visiting her aunt, Mrs. Kellan. of 237 Willis avenue, the Bronx Last Thursday she paid a call on her friend, Adrienne La Roche, at 3S4 East One Hundred and Thirty seventh street. Their pleasant chat was broken by the screech and wild changing of fire engines. They looked out the window and were dumfounded to see the en- zines draw up at the next house.
 Terrified, Adrienne glanced at Edith to find her pale and frightened
 'Edith!" she exclaimed. "Whats the matter? You look as though you had seen a ghost"
 Edith did not reply, but stood as if transfixed. Later she swooned, and a physician, who was unable to restore her to consciousness, advised that she be sent to the hospital There the whole staff was called in, but none could diagnose the case.
 K The girl has become the center of attention in the hospital. The doe tors call her trance-like condition "hemi plegia" but are powerless to cure her
 To-day the girls brother kept tell ing her that it was Christmas, but she remained as indifferent as if dead At one time they thought her lips moved, and awaited anxiously to hear her speak, but the watchers met with the same disappointment that has at- tended all their efforts.

 Case.
 The grievance committee of the Hartford County Bar association is di- vided in opinion as to whether a com plaint should be laid before Judge Wheeler regarding Lawyer Solomon Elsner's relations with former Detec- tive Sergeant Dietrich of the Hartford police department, who was dropped from the force for conduct unbecom- ing a police officer Members of the grievance committee, which consists of Lewis E. stanton, president; States Attorney Arthur F. Eggleston and Noble E. Pierce, refused to discuss the matter, but there is good reason for believing that MT. Stanton and MT Pierce are in favor of preparing d complaint. on which to have MT. Els ner arraigned for hearing before Judge Wheeler. It is said that when States Attorney Eggleston was asked to sign the complaint he refused to do so. Under the rule it is the duty of the states attorney to prosecute cases of this kind and because he refused to sign the report the Elsner matter can be considered to be dropped, un- less the new grievance committee, which Charles E. Perkins last Friday asked Judge Wheeler to appoint takes the matter up.

 There are no less than nineteen scenes in the three acts of the play and the staging of any one of them could hardly be improved upon Per haps one of the most realistic ship wrecks that has been represented on any stage in Toronto is represented in the fourth scene of the first act, when the good ship Diana goes down off the magic coast of Eye Land
 Happy, a child of fortune, is a char acter we'll presented by Charles A. sel- lon, who affords a constant fund of amusement by his clever weaving oi local topics into the dialogue proper of the comedy.
