New Haven Theatre.

"Thorns and Orange Blossoms" the attraction at the New Haven theater tonight, Friday and Saturday nights, and at the matinee Saturday. at regu- lar popular prices, is a dramatization by Lem B. Parker of Bertha M. Clay's popular novel of the same name, and tells the story of the wooing and win- ming of Violet Beaton, a daughter Of the people, by Lord Randolph Ryvers, who knowing Violets hatred of the mo- bility of England, wooed her as MT. Randolph, struggling artist. At St. Phillips, Italy, Richard Carston, wealthy man of the people, met Violet, and falling desperately in love with her, tried to win her away from her husband.
 In this he was ably seconded by Lord Randolph's mother, whose hatred of the masses were as bitter as Violet's for the aristocracy. By accident they met Lord Randolph's mother and sis ter, Monica. Tommy Swift, rich Chi cagoian, appears on the scene, and with her and Monica to see is to love. In the second act Randolph's mother sets about to rid her son of the wife, no matter what methods she must use to accomplish this end, and in this she is aided by Richard Carston, and in this she is successful, and after a ser ies of bitter domestic struggles the curtain falls on the wife's bitter de- nunciation and flight from her hus- band. whom she thinks wishes to be rid of her.
 Tn the third act occurs the only bit of tragedy in the entire play, the death of Lord Hay, suitor for Monica's hand, who is slain by Richard Carston, fighting for the honor of his wifes friend. But alfs well that ends well, and in the last act Lord Randolph and his wife are united by the efforts of Tommy and Monica, and the mothers proud spirit Is broken when she learns of the birth of an heir to the family estate.
 The cast is headed by Edna Earle Lindon, as Violet Beaton, who is well known through this territory, having appeared here in her fathers, Frank Lindons support, on numerous occa- sions. Others in the cast equally well known ar J. J. Kirk, Lester Howard, ID. J. caldwell, Dorothy aFirfax, Aline walker and others.

a1rNcI.n TOMS CABIN. J

Tn an article on AL w. Martins "Uncle Toms Cabin which will ap- pear at tthe New Haven theater on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights next week and at the matinee on Wednesday, Leander Richardson, the eminent New York dramatic crit ic, wrote q wonder when the time will come when Uncle Toms Cabin will lose its charm to the rising genera tion." Judging from it's present fresh sn es,al alluring powers will be pere- nial. There is something in the skill full combination of the pathetic and humorous that never fails to fascinate, and the story of the suffering of the poor slaves appeals directly to the fin CT sensibilities of the human soul. Such plays are better than sermons. They teach us lessons in thoughtfulness and charity. They impress our minds with the precepts of the golden rule. Mrs. Stowe's book is one of the great books of literature because 1t deals with questions of immeasurabe human im- port and the play itself is one of those simple masterpieces that can never die. If it does no more than keep alive the memory of the rise and fall of one of the greatest iniquities that history deals with, it is not written in vain"

DEFENDS TELEPHONE GO.
PRES. TYLER SPEAKS AT HART FORD WoRKIAGMEK'S CLUB.
He Outlines Policy of His Corporation
 and Claims They Only Want Six Per Cent. Dividend for Stockholders.

Hartford, Jan. 2S. Morris F, Tyler, president of the Southern New England Telephone Co.,, spoke Tuesday in the rooms of the West Side Workingmen's club in Affleck street on the business of his corporation President Tyer's address was a defense of the monopoly enjoyed by his company, and an asser-. tion that the rates are as low as they can profitably be made.
 He said that the Southern New Eng land Telephone company has now about 50,0O0 subscribers in the state, not in- cluding the users of pay stations. The business has developed wonderfully and still is in it's infancy.
 The company recognizes the fact that it is doing a quasi-public business, and has obligations of quasl-publlc ser want, and must, therefore, render it's service as cheaply as is consistent with proper return upon its investment. It recognizes this fact in its toll ser vice, when 1t undertakes to inform a subscriber whether or not the man he desires to speak to is within call
 President Tyler said that whether or not public interest calls for more tele- phone systems in the state is an im- portant one, and that the principal ob- jection to the act of 1899 is based on the fact that would-be competitors lost the first case they brought under it.
 We only want a six per cent. divi- dend for our stockholders said MT. Tyler. Tt is all we see in the business; we are not in it to sell out but tostay; We will go to our stockholders for new capital for new construction, but not for the expense of maintenance. It is up to the public to say whether 1t wants to experiment with the nuisance of double telephones."

who represented Senator Brown, claimed, in his argument and in reply to Mir. Cullinane, that there were no good grounds for opening the boxes, that the evidence given did not show that either Wilson or Brown lost any votes that should have been counted, and that until it was shown that the missing fifty senatorial ballots should have been counted for Wilson there was no reason for opening the boxes He claimed that the democrats wanted to go on fishing trip with everything to gain and nothing to lose. Both attor- neys quoted authorities to sustain their contentious. The witnesses were the election officers who counted the bal lots and made up the tally sheets. It was shown that the total vote for the democratic and republican candidates for senator fell short about fifty votes of the total cast for the candidates of these parties for every other place on the ticket, and 1t was the testimony of the witnesses that there was prac- tically no scratching of Brown or Will son. The claim of MT. Wilson is that an error possibly in the form of an omission has resulted in a faulty re- turn. At the outset of the hearing Judge Beers, raised the point that only in two particulars was the petition specific, but Chairman Waller said that the committee wished to waive all technicaIities and proceed with the idea of giving each side fair hearing on matters of fact.
 The hearing in the Cromwell contest ed case was completed by the house committee and decision was reserved. Tomorrow afternoon the latter com- mittee will take up the Boudron con- test in which Stephen Boucher seeks to get the seat of Thomas Boudron of Bridgeport.

BiJou Theater.

With each succeeding performance "The Frisky Mrs. Johnson" grows in popularity at the Bijou. The attend- ance has been extremely large and the piece is a most pleasing one. This comedy drama is full to overflowing with Clyde Fitchisms and is a play that has met with great success where ever presented throughout the country.
 Tomorrow afternoon there will be the usual souvenir matinee. The pic- ture to be given away is f1ashlight taken of the audience on the last night of the spring season of 1906. Saturday afternoon there will be another souve- mir performance. Michael Wartone is the attraction between the acts with illustrated songs

One of the biggest hits, Don't You Think it is Time to Marry" is probably the most catching. although DO be arCe- ful of the Crocodile, "Brahma," Pop ular Entertainments, That's the Way They Let the Secret out,' and "Why Don't You Take One Little Boy" are tied for second honors.

i from office or workshop is nothing, if living on trolley line.
 Waterbury has long been isolated from New Haven in travel, before the advent of the trolley car. Now the ride between the two cities is a pas time, and farms along the troll ley lines are rapidly being bought up for building sites.
 We are fast approaching the land values of 1870. The individual farm alluded to at the previous date men, toned, received an offer of $11500 but was not sold and afterward receded to $S,S0O. Neither cows nor crops have brought the advanced values, but 1t is due to our cities and trolley cars. These bring the automobile to the far mers door.-Connecticut Farmer.

FARM VALUES INCREASE,

Owners Warned Not to Dispose of
 Their Property in a Hurry,
 The day of despondency for Con necticut farmers is drawing to a close. The boom of selling prices for farmers is fairly on. The present danger to the farmer is that he may sell too soon. The farm, that so long has been his load to carry, may slip from his hand before he knows that there has been great rise in real estate.
 What has done it? The trolley car travel, We are just awake to the fact that Connecticut is all one city. Dis- tance is now annihilated where the trolley car runs. Pleasure at all sea@ son lies in a trolley ride. Ten miles

The Yale University Dramatic asso- citation, which produced "The Anna zons" at the Hyperion last Saturday night, is to invade New York in the spring, following the example of the Princeton Triangle club.
 The association is now in it's eighth year and has aimed high in it's dra- matic presentations, disdaining musical comedies and burlesques, such as are indulged in by other colleges, and choosing old English plays of Chaucer and Haywood, last year giving Shakes peare's Henry w." though this sea- son the club decided on Pinero's mod ern comedy as more befitting prome- made week.
