The company of eight unsurpassed en- tertainers, including Frank Labor, whose humorous interpretation of Mott, the tailor, is viyidly recalled, Stella Mayhew, as the excruciatingly funny Newport widow, with her unique vocabulary, Frank Doane, who plays an original Englishman in all original maner, John Park, the pleasing bari tone, William Riley Hatch, Billee Fay Tor. Alma Young, Besse Gibson, the girl with the white horse" Florence Townsend. Perciyal Jennings, Charles Wallace, all return with this delightful entertainment. The yivacious, pretty sweet-voiced ensemble contingent is not the least important in the enter taiptng qualities of this gem of musical plays. George v. Hobarts really clev- CT book and A. Baldwin Sloane's charming score are in remarkably com potent hands. The scenery and cos- tunes, and the stage effects generally, are in much better condition than have undergone a complete overhaul ing during the engagement of the company in New York, That the ca pacitiy of the theater will be taxed is evidenced by the large sale of seats, and it is advisable to interview the treasurer of the New Haven theater at once to be certain of being able to witness the performance

WHERE LINEN IS MADE
Fields Blue With Flowers: Then VII!


 Fields Blue With Flowers; Then White
 With Bleaching Cloth.
 There is nothing prettier than field of Irish flax in full bloom. The stems are about thirty inches high, says a writer in Truth. They are vey slender and of a pale green.
 On each stem is flower in an exqui- site tone Of blue; something between a cornflower and forget-me-not The little flower is not of a very robust con- stitution.a The petals soon fall, and then a seed pod forms which, when given time to do so, produce quantities of what we call linseed ('thin' is the Celtic name for f1ax). But when the flax Is grown for the manufacture of 1 linen 1t is pulled I'D before the seed has htad time to mature.
 After having been exposed to the aid for few days the flax Is laid in water, | and during the fortnight that this pro- cess lasts the odious smell with which it fills the offended tir is of remark ably powerful character,
 ] As the Local guides say: "Shure, it's just the flax fermintin.' It's a power 1 full smell intirely but there's no danger | in it, glory be to God"
 The soaking makes 1t easy to sepa- rate the straw from the fibre by bruis- l ing it between rollers and then sus- 1 pending it though an opening in the top of machine in which horizontal shaft with wooden blades revolves at the rate of two hundred and fifty times minute. Parted forever are the fibre, flax and the straw, now tow.
 Next comes the spinning into yarn, done in immense mills, and after that the yarn is woven into the fabric itself Finally comes the bletaching, when the linen is laid out on the green field to be l whitened by rain and sun and wind.
 These long strips of snowy wilderness on the green turf surprise the stranger He thinks it some sort of top dessing, spread upon the land to fertilize it.. Belfast Is the center of the linen trade

WALTER P. B1GE1oW.
Died Suddenly at Ifs Home in New
 York City.

The sad news was received in this city yesterday of the sudden death Thursday evening at his home. 325 West sevendeth streeth, in New York city, of Walter Pierrepont Bigelow, the vice president of the Hobart B. Bige- low company of this city. Mr. Bige- low had been in good health, and was in good spirits Thursday evening, and dined as usual with his family. He was about to retire, when he sudden ly fell to the floor and died without a struggle from heart failure. The news of his death spread rapidly in this city among the large circle of friends of the deceased, and created much sor- row surprise and regret.
 MT. Bigelow was the youngest son of former Governor H. B. Bigelow and as he grew older began to resemble him very closely in form and feature. He was graduated from the Sheffield Sci entific school in the class of 1887, and entered at once upon work in his fa- ther's company. For several years he had resided in the city of New York, where he had charge of the. company's interests, visiting New Haven fre- quently to consult with the home office and see his mother, who lives here with her only remaining child, Colonel Frank l.. Bigelow. Mir. Bigelow was forty years of age. He leavesa wife and no children.
 Though it has been years since Mr. Bigelow lived here he is still remem- bered with a lively sense of affection by his school and college friends. In temperament he was very much like his father, whose amiability and uni- form courtesy made him, as the same qualities did his son, an ever increasing circle of friends, and in business easso- citations gave him place of dignity and influence. His brother went early to New York yesterday morning, and completed the arrangements for the funeral, which will be private.

1ijou Thcater.

Director McGnl of the Bijou theater announces for next week the produc- ton, Of the dramatization of Frances Hodgson Burnetts beautiful story Little Lord Fountleroy." It is some time since this splendid play has been presented In this city and Director Mc- { Gill has prepared an elaborate produc- ton. It is a play without the slightest objectionable feature about it and for that reason is one of the most popular plays ever offered on the American stage for children and young people. I Baby Zylah, who has made so many 1 friends the past week in "Ten Nights in Bar Room is cast in the title role. This child is an exceptionally talented one for so young an actress and as Lord l Fauntleroys her work will doubles prove even more pleasing than in the play now at the Bjou.
 The story of the piece is too well known to need repetition in detail. All young folks know of the visit to Amer ica of the lawyers of the gruff old Earl of Dorincourt to find the wife and child of his favorite son Captain Er- rol," who a short time after his mar riage to a sweet American woman, died leaving his family practically without support,
 The lawyers find Lord Fauntleroy and his mother dearest and takes i them to England with him. Then fol- { lows the refusal of the earl to accept the child, Little Lord Fauntleroy's winning of his stern grandfather's heart and the appearance of an impcst- CT who tries to prove that her son is 1 the real Lord Faunleroy
 It is the appearance of this imposter which causes the earl to find how much he really loves his little grandson. The imposter is however found to be such, and Little Lord Fauntleroy rules for ever not only in the heart of his grand ] father, the earl, but in the hearts of fall his tenants.
 Lawrence B. McGill is cast as the earl of Doringcourt. The other famil- | far figures of the story are cast as fol- flows: Nina, Dorothy Lamb Mary Edith Crolius; Hobbs, Frank Wallace; Dick, the bootbiacks Cameron Clemens; Higgins, Lucius Fairchlld; the riding master, Wm r. Canfeld and Mrs. Er- roll dearest, Miss Grace Franklyr Lynch
 Miss Lynch is a. new conner to the ranks of the stock company and takes the place as leading lady made vacant by the withdrawal of Gertrude Ship man, owing to i'll health Miss Lyncf has q charming personality and vii
 undoubtedy soon win her way into the
 hearts of Biiou patrons.
 The play is given in three acts, The
 first is Mrs Errol's home in America
 and the second and third is the home
 of the Earl of Dorincourt There wil | be the usual bargain and souvenir mat
 lnees duing the week.
