IRISH NATIONALISTS AND BRITISH
LIBERALS

1t is probably n mistake to assume. as
has been assumed by many onlookers,
that an irreparable breach has been
opened between the British Liberal and
the Irish Nationalist members of Par
lament by the unqualified and unan-
imous refusal Of the Nationalist conven-
ton, held at Dublin. to accept the Rlr-
rell bill. intended to transfer many adj
ministrative functions, now vested in
boards appointed by the Viceroy OF
Ireland to a central council. partly ap-
pointed but mainly elected by those
1rishmen who possess the parliamentary
franchise. There is no doubt that the
bill should be constructed as an announce
ment that it will tolerate no sort Of
cooperation between Irish Nationalist
and the Rosebery wing of the Liberal
party, which in the present cabinet is
represented by the Chancellor of the
/ xchequer. the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, and the Minister of War. Under
the circumstances, If Premier Banner
mans majority were less overwhelming
than It is. he would have to dismiss
Sir Edward Grey, Mr.. Asquith, and Mr.
Haldane, or lose the support Of Mr.
John f. Redmond and his eighty follow
ers. No such alternative confrOnts the
Minister ta-day, but at the next general
election. which, in Mr.. Bannerman's
opinion. will take place in 1908. or soon
thereafter, Sir II. j. Campbell Banner

sincere converts to home rule. and who

THE MAN K TIE BOX :"
TO-DAY AT THE HYPERION
The Ellery Band and Other Good Things Booked at
 This Popular House.

Jameson Lee Finney, the popular comedian to be seen at New Ha- ven in the comedy drama, "The Man on the Box" Mir. Finney has for the past ten or twelve years been par ticularly conspicuous in New York as one of the most popular actors. His services have been so much in demand by producing managers in bringing out new plays that had long Metropolitan runs that he has had little opportuni- ty to make himself acquainted with theatergoers throughout the country. All this, however, has given him rep utation extending to all the states, but this is the first time he has ever been brought face to face with the public in stellar capacity. MT. Finney will be presented here at the Hyperion this afternoon and evening, by Walter N. Lawrence, who, during the past five years has made great advancement as one of the leading producing mana gers in New York. The principals are Miss Elsie Leslie, Miss Jannette Far rall, Miss Madge Piera, Sydney Booth, William Herbert, F'rew W. Peters, Neil Moran, James c. Spottiswood, c. w.. schaeffer, Chester Beecroft and Robert TessemaQ.

MISS EVA SPEAR,
Former New Haven Girl Appears at New Haven Theater Next Week.


 Miss Eva Spear, who appears IT Dolly Dimples, at the New Haver theater the first of the week, is a for. mer New Haven young lady. She has whistle that is unique. It is pro- duced entirely by the larynx and is made possible by a peculiar formation Of that organ. The range is over three octaves and the tone is very pure and rich. Miss Spear has appeared in the largest cities in the country where she has received enthusiastic commenda- ton from the press.
 The Brooklyn Eagle says: Miss Spear rendered the beautiful intermez- 70 from Cavalleria Rusticana, rich and clear and without false note, and with well expressed shading and phrasing. The whistle differs vastly from the ordinary human whistle, and resembles closely the note of a fute."
 It will be good news to the many friends of Miss Eva Spear to hear of her we'll doing and that she is to be with us next week when she appears at the New Haven theater with the Grace Cameron Opera Co.,, the first three days next week.
