They will present a music comedy in which eleven people will participate, describ- ing A Night in Police Station" The incidents of the holding up of an auto- mobile party are built about in such a way as to allow for the introduction of the pretty chorus with songs and dances.

4 PRoMINtNT EDUCATOR
Declares Vinol Is the Best Cod Liver
 Preparation.

FFepHrHTtOn. < There has been a good deal of discus sion in New Haven regarding the mer- it's of cod liver oil preparations, and whether or not cod liver oil and emul- sions that upset the stomach have any medicinal virtue; therefore, the follow. ing letter from M. A. Cassidy, superin- tendent of schools, Lexington, Ky, will be read with interest:
 q am pleased to state that after hav- ing used and tested the different cod liver oil preparations on the market, I find Vinol to be far superior to them all
 "Vinol built up my system, strength ened my nerves and made a new man of me, and I heartily endorse it as the most efficacious and agreeable cod liver oil preparation on the market"
 Our local druggist, Wm. H. Hull, when asked his opinion in regard to Vinol. replied: We have never sold anything in our store better than Vinol to create strength, cure stomach troubles, chronic coughs, colds, bron- chitis and incipient consumption, or to make growing children robust and give strength and vigor to the aged
 "It is for this reason that we offer to return money in every case where it fails. .'-Hull's Corner Drug Store.
 Note-While we are sole agents for Vinol in New Haven, 1t is now for sale at the leading drug store in nearly every town and city in the country. Look for the Vinol agency in your town.

 To-day and tomorrow a most won derful overcoat sale will be conducted at the establishment of J. Johnson & Sens. the exclusive clotniers. Every year at about this time Johnsol does something that has never been att tempted before and has never been copied since he originated it. And it takes a man of considerable backbone to do it. Johnson gives every man who visits his store to-day and tomorrow the unrestricted choice Of any winter overcoat in his store for $10. And that means your choice from among as fine and high grade goods as you ever saw or would wish tc see. Overcoats in pro- fusion which readily sell for S2S and $25 are included in the lot Also many fire coats that would be cheap even as an investment at $22 and $20. But this sale is not for the benefit of s2ecula tors. It is for the public generally. Johnson appreciates his friends and now he is going to give them the k!g gest kind of bargains. Last year when a similar sale was on man eagerly bought a coat the real value of which was $50. He got it for S1O. He picked out one just like it and wanted it re- served. but that is not done at the great sale. You've got to take it or leave it, and step lively as everyone is hustling at S5 Church street at that time. Well" the man said, "I'll send some one over inside of five minutes He did so, but within that time over two dozen overcoats, including his choice, were sold like hot cakes"
 So one can readily see while this great offering is taking place there is- mt much time to ruminate, or procras- tinate. Just get a move on you and you'll be winner. Rememberl no coats are reserved No telephone or ders. Johnson has said the word The decks must be swept clean. No one ever regretted a purchase made at Johnson's. It always gives satisfac- ton, and the Johnson guarantee is back of it. One word in closing: Go to the store as early as possible. The stock is an immense one, but the soon- CT you get there the quicker you will be suited and make room for the rest of the crowd. Ten dollars to-day and to- morrow, gives you an unrestricted choice of any winter overcoat.

 Rallies, however, does not steal for love of gain. He steals for the excite ment of it. and then he returns the stolen goods to the owner or gives them for charity as may suit the dictates of his mind at the particular moment when he has them is his possession.

LEW DOCKS sTAnER

Somebody asked Lew Dockstader, the minstrel, the other day, what kind of a show he had this season.
 T can only say" answered the black face comedian, that they tell me it's good. l am too sensible a man to be- lieVe that I know how the public will take a production. I am too sensible to predict anything about my show. I do the best I can in the matter of dishing up novelties and then submit it to the public. They are the jury, and their verdict Is the one abide by. If they do not give their approval I immedi- ately eliminate what has not caught their fancy and substitute something that have up my sleeve for just such an emergency"
 Apart from the innate modesty of MT. Dockstader, it may be stated that his entertainment this season is far and away better than any he has ever had before. He has kept one thing in view always, and that is novelty. He told every friend he had in the world that if he couldn't give the public something new each season he would get out of the business, and he has never failed to keep his word. This year he has two carloads of novelties, all of them within the minstrel char acter, and everywhere the show has played the audience has been loud in it's praises of MT. Dockstader's enter prise.

She had many hits to her credit before that time and has added to them since her appearance in the Oz play. Roderick Penfeld and Gustave Kerker have, it is said, pro- vided Miss Faust with a number of ex- ceptionally catchy musical numbers for her use in "The Girl from Vienna"
