nocKsT ADER.

An interesting discussion which bids fair to open up a spacious field for argument has lately been started by Lew Dockstader, and for students of human nature the question is at once interesting and attractive. Says MT Dockstader:
 Nearly every day as walk down the street in New York city I am ac- costed by one or more men who inquire whether I have any clothes for sale. I invariably tell them l have not, but the thing has been repeated so often that it has started an investigation in my mind Am I to consider myself compimented or humiliated by the question as to wether I have any clothes for sale. Tn other words does the fellow think I am so well dressed that I have any number of suits of clothes which I wear only few times each, and, therefore, he might get a lot of good bargains, or does he con- sfder me of such an appearance as might lead him to believe l needed money badly enough to sell my clothes for it.
 "The question has perplexed me greatly. and anyone who can get it straight in my mind will do me a last ing favor as the thing has begun to get on my nerves
 Dockstader will be at the Hyperion Saturday, matinee and night.

TO INVESTIGATE DREssMAK1NG

The school promised itself new line of activity in the way of an investiga- tion of the dressmaking industry and an attempt to organize it. What little the management has learned through placing its girls leads to the conclusion that this is the most disorganized and haphazard of all industries. Girls are called upon for abominable overtime work without extra pay when orders are to be finished. On the other hand, the girls will calmly stay away from the shop because they have been to a dance the night before, leaving the dressmaker at her wits end for help to finish orders promised. The same irregularities exist among the patrons Women will disregard their fittings and then demand that orders shall be finished at the time promised, though it takes all night work to do it. They will go off to Europe without paying their bills, and though the dressmaker knows she will get her money some time, she is hampered for ready money and makes, employees wait for their wages, which may be a terrible thing for them. The same lack of organiza- tion and strict business rules prevails as in all purely feminine industries, which, being the latest to come into the busness world, are the least or ganzed.
 ''The aim of this department" said Mrs. Mary Schenck Woolman, diree- tor of the school, twill be to find a better footing for this useful and val uable trade, but we have only begun the work of investigation.
 The paper box department has had an enviable record during the year. It has introduced the making of fine, expensive boxes for jewelry and silver ware, and also novelties of silk and cretonne. In this line it has introduced

PAUPER BECOMES WEALTHY.

There is a tradition at the county infirmary at Omaha, Neb., that when ever Patrick Mulligan play the jew sharp either he is going to have a fit or some one is going to die. The other day Muligan treated his fellow in- mates to a jewsharp recital, and he was brought word that he had been left fortune by the death of a wealthy brother in California year ago. His brother, Andrew, was miner and reputed possessed of an estate which will foot up six figures. He was murdered in a quarrel in San Francisco.
 Patrick knew of the death of his brother at the time it happened. Al though Andrew was unmarried and left no direct heirs the pauper brother here refused to believe that he would benefit. He and Andrew hadn't been the best of friends for years and he didn't believe he would be remember ed in the latter's will.
 He learned, however, from Omaha attorneys that they had been asked by eastern representatives of the estate to find him and inform him that he is to share and sister, and the amount he will get is not known. Until he has the cash in his fist he is making no plans for leaving the shelter that Douglas county has afforded him for a number of years.
 Patrick is upward of 70 years and is, subject to frequent epiIeptic fits. These became so annoying that he was un- able to work and preferred to accept care from the community in which he had labored to hunting up relatives and asking for aid.
 He and his jewsharp are prime fla vorites with the inmates at the county institution, and they will miss his concerts of Irish tunes.-

reputation and vogue of an Yvette Guilbert with us. She tells stories and illustrates them herself, imDersonating the characters of the romance. She im- itates with as much fidelity the shy attitude of the blushing bride as the simDering of a middle aged woman. And when the dragon. a devil, or a ojinn comes into the plot, she succeeds in pulling the skin of her face, turning up her nose with a string, turning her eyelids out, and so on, assuming the most terrible and monstrous aspects imaginable. A story told by her is as much appreciated in Teheran. and as highly paid, as a monologue by Chev- alier in London.

OLD ISAACS FROM THE BOWERY.
 Master playwright, Charles E. Bla- ney, comes forward this season with another dramatic masterpiece for the popular price circuit, in a great comedy offering, ''Old Isaacs From the Bowe- ry," introducing to our theatre goers one of the most able delineators of the good Hebrews in Mir. Harry First, a rising young actor, who is fast winning laurels in Interpreting this character creatioin. As with all of Mir. ,Blaney' $ attractions, the production of this new offering is one which does credit to those responsible for it.
 MT. Blaney has written play in this one which deals with some true incl
 dents that happened in the life of a we'll known industrious merchant of the east side of the great city of New York. It tells story replete with comedy and sentiment and one which appeals to every one who has leaning toward a bright and thoroughly up-to- date entertainment.
 Harry First in the character of Old Isaacs the installment man, gives a brilliancy to the character of this hon. est old Hebrew, which makes it take rank among the most notable of latter day creations of this type. The sup porting company is one of uncommon strength, and the production as before mentioned, is one of excellence. It will be seen in this city at the New Haven Theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights next week, and at the matnee Wednesday,.
