Novelli Today.

Ermete Novelli, the celebrated actor who is to make his first local appear ance at the Hyperion this afternoon, is recognized to-day as one of the foremost actors on the stage. Many years ago the king of Italy honored him by making him q commentators of the crown of Italy. In 1898, when he scored such triumph at Mime. Bern hardt's theater de la Renaissance, the French government decorated him with the red ribbon of the legion of honor. He is entitled to wear decofa- tions of almost every court of Europe and South America. His artistic triumphs have made him famous all over the world. Last season, however, his first time of visit to the United States and his success in Boston and New York inspired his present tour of the largest eastern cities. It is. by special good luck that one of the few smaller towns to be honored by his appearances is to be this community Local playgoers will be able to see him in A Night Off, at the matinee, and in The Tanning of the sshrew'' in the evening.

STILL IN THE GAME
Biologists Will Talk About the Lobster at Last Session
 To-day.

The Vertebrate Palaeontologists and the American Biologists continued to hold forth all day yesterday in Pea body museum and Kirkharn hall, re- spectively, and the last round in the conventions will be held to-day
 While the palateontologists did not decide upon any such important mat ter as saving the whales from destruc- tion or keeping the green turtles in northern waters, the discussions were very instance. For instance After Prof. R. s. Lull had delivered a very exhaustive article on "Migrations of the Probocidea," Prof. H. l. Osborn gave the principal talk of the after noon on '"The remounted skeleton of the warren mastodon and the method of calculating the age fthe animal from growth rings on the tuslzs." Prof Osborn has made a long study on the subject and is looked upon as an au- thority. The latter part of the after noon Prof. Osborn gave a stereopticon lecture on "The Expedition to the Fayun Desert"
 Officers for the coming year were elected; pr. R. s. Lull, Yale, presi- dent; pr. w. D. Matthew, American museum of New York; secretary and treasurer; Dr, c. R. Eastman, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Dr. o. c. Peterson of Carnegie museum, Prof William Patten of Dartmouth college, executive committee.
 Among the addresses delivered at the meeting of the zoologists perhaps none was of a more vital interest than that by F. R. Lillie on "TNhe Specific Gravity of the Constituent Parts of the Egg of Chaetopterus and the Elf feet of Centrifuging on the Polarity Of the Egg"
 E. V Emmell to-day will lecture on Relations Between the Establishment of Asymmetry, Growth and Regen- eration at Different Ages of the Lob ster."
 Last night at the Hof Brau the scientists held 8 joint banquet The conventions come to a close to-day.

! THE NEW HAVEN
The Four Corners of the Earth Opens the First
 of the Week.

YOne of the strongest melodramatic successes ever written is the new Klimt & Gazzolo play, 'The Four Cor ners of the Earth" which will be pre- sented at the New Haven theater as the New Years attraction, Monday, SsesstassS ana "Wednesday nights and at
 Ke holiday matinee, New Years day. gIt is a tale of cunning and intrigue and western simplicity, a play of tears and laughter, a story of vivid inIagin- ation, yet true to life, Its scenes are not conventional and cover various parts of the world, beginning and end ing at National City, near the border line of Lower California and Mexico, The acting company is excellent and especially engaged with a view to their splendid fitness for the particular line of characters for which they are cast. With the same conscientious spirit as characterized the selections of the artists in giving this play an ex- pensive cast, Klimt & Gazzolo have given expression to their determination to give the play a worthy presentation from a scenic standpoint as well Most elaborate is the scenic investiture to the minutest detail. That the public appreciates and will support a spectac- ular production like "The Four Cor ners of the Earth" is proven by the unprecedented successful engagements 1t is enjoying en tour.

a1he secret Orchard. ;

"A problem play, which begins where the conventional work of that class ends" is fitting characteriza- tion, made by a distinguished critic, of Charming Pollock's The Secret Orch ard" which will come direct from the New York Lyric theater triumph to the Hyperion New Years day mati- nee and night
 MT. .Pollock's inspiration has been the novel of the same name by Agnes and Egerton Castle, a work which has won widespread popular interest as well as high critical approval
 But Mr. Pollock has gone be- yond the precise limits of the original story and has presented in brilliant and splendidly 'dpamatic fashion the important principle of sex-equality
 The story of The Secret Orchard" deals with the tragic catastrophe con sequent upon the meeting of an inno- cent girl and reckless, youthfully impulsive man of the world who be- comes so taken with Joys beauty and naive charm as to completely lose sight of right.
 A little later the girl, not knowing that the duke and her betrayer are one, is taken by the duchess as prac- tically an adopted daughter. There ensues a cruel awakening to the un- fortunate girl, and stern retribution, the retribution of an awakened con science to the man.
 But in the end Joy is shown that the gates of happiness are not utterly closed to her, that there is a way to attain spiritual redemption, and per- haps even happiness of a romantic sort as we'll, through the great power of 9. pure love.
 The difficult situations are handled by MT Pollock with rare insight ex- ceedtng delicacy, yet always power and sincerity. Of mawkish sentiment there is not jot nor is there the slightest trace of indelicacy or sensa- tionalsm.
 Managers Hunter, Bradford & Reid, have staged the play very beau tifully and have provided cast of exceptional all round merit, Aubrey Boucicault, Edward R. Mawson, Burke Clarke, Frank c. Bangs, Frank E. Lamb, F. Newton Lindo, Harry Me- Auliffe, Adelaide Prince, Josephine Victor, Olive May, Henrietta vaders, and Ida Lewis are included in the company.
 In Washington. Philadelphia and the other cities visited during the pre- liminary tour. "The Secret Orchard y was hailed as one of the truly great plays of the time, work of the high est technical merit, of absorbing inter- est, particularly to women play-goers and a splendid human document pos sessing moral purpose of the deep est ethical significance, a verdict New York has most warmly endorsed.

News of the Local Theaters
AT THE HYPERION
Honor the Mayor" Tues day-"The Secret Orchard
 New Years Day.

Alfred E. Aarons, producer and one of the composers of His Honor the Mayor, 9 which comes to the Hyperion Tuesday, December S1. and Alfred G. Robyn. the writer of Tine Yankee Consul" and who is one of the best known musicians in the west. were seated in the private office at Wal lacks theater, New York, one evening discussing music. MT. Robyn recalled many amusing incidents during his long years of residence in St. Louis, but perhaps the best was the story he told of services in the Temple Israel, St. Louis, several years ago. MT. Robyn was the organist at this wealthy synagogue, and conductor of the male quartet It was the custom of Dr. Harrison, the rabbi to deliver impromptu addresses, at the conclu sion of which the quartet would sing an anthem. At the services in ques- ton MT. Robyn had instructed the. singers in their anthem, in prepara- ton for the usual song, and then he buried himself in the organ loft in the Sunday morning papers. Unknown to him Dr. Harrison had made an inn passioned appeal for money for the Jewish hospital He had exhorted his hearers to give generously.
 In your pockets you have money which you are likely to spend within a few hours on the vanities of the world You will spend it on apparel, or for some creature comfort I ex- hort you to delve deep into your pockets and give this money to the hospital l want it said tomorrow that Temple Israel has given nobly of it's abundance"
 The rabbi paused, and Mr. Robyn, tossing aside his papers, struck the first note of Baumbahs beautiful an them. Out thundered the voice of the basso: Search Me, Search Me, o Lord" Then sang the tenor, Search Me, Search Me. o Lord"
 < There was a suhdued litter; then a general laugh, and finally the rabbi himself joined in the merriment.
 But" concluded MT. Robyn, the collection was the largest in the his tory of Temple Israel"

received the attention it deserves, at
least not until very recently

may be mentioned. A few years ago
this man, becoming dissatisfied with
the kind of cattle that he was run
ming, bought registered bull and be-
gan to grade his cattle up. BY using
good registered Shorthorn bulls, which
he chances every three years, and by
selecting good-grade cows, he has been
grading up his herd until now his cat
tie outweigh and outsell those in his
immediate neighborhood. At first his
nelghbors made considerable sport of
him for importing registered stock
and prophesied that he would make a
failure of it. Instead of failure his
cattle are, so much better in quality
that they may be distinguished a long
distance away merely by their body
outline and their increased size. In
order to get the most good out of his
animals this man was, of course,
obliged to do a good deal more work
in taking care of them. He found it
necessary to Zine ride" his range
every day in order to keep his stock
from straying and to see that his bulls
served his own cows and not those of
his neighborS. This extra work has
paid him well, as he rarely loses cat
tie through straying and does not need
to belong to any of the roundup asso-
Citations. The prime value of this
work is shown in his calf crop, which
averages about 50 per cent, while that
of his neighbors averages only about
60 per cent.
Now that the range is becoming so
crowded that it is difficult to get suf-
ficient grass to fatten steers, he is
preparing to increase his breeding
stock and cut down the number of his
beef steers, so that when he can no
longer grow beef he will be in a po-
sition to dispose of a. high class of
feeding cattle, which he will aim to
sell as yearlings or two-year-olds to
eastern feeders. This he can do with
out any sacrifice whatever, as he has
a type of cattle that is exactly such
as the feeders want but find it diff
cult to obtain.
What has been said of cattle holds
equally true of horses. To-day there
is almost no place for the small horse
or "cayuse," while good animals are
in demand. That one can afford tc
raise good horses on the range has
been demonstrated by a stockrnan liv
ing in western North Dakota. During
a period of low prices for range horses
this man bought high-priced stallion
