COMING MIRO, rHr RYE.

Every man, woman and child in New Haven who enjoys genuinely good show will want to see the splendid per- formance of the musical comedy, Com ing Thro' the Rye,' when it is present. ed at the New Haven Monday night, March Il. This is a performance which many hundreds of our people know all about, because 1t was witnessed by us many persons as the house can contain in one night, last January, at the New Haven theater. Everybody voted it a great success, and it was, with a very big "S," The audience laughed or ap- plauded for nearly three hours, and the performance was talked about a long time after Its departure,
 There are eighty people in the pre- senting company, and they will all be here next Monday. Stella Maytlew, a host in herself will reappear as Mrs Cobb, the wealthy widow with social ambitions and an original vocabulary. She has several new songs, and a num- Der of new scenes will greatly enhance the delight afforded by her extreme CleNeIHGSS.
 Frank Lalor, the inimitable comedian, comes back, as does pretty Besse Gib- son, the girl with the white horse" Alma Youlin, the charming vocalist; Frank Doane Billie Taylor John Park, William Hatch Riley, sprightly Flor ence Townsend. and almost the best of all, that fascinating group of sixty pretty, graceful girls who arc known as the famous beauty chorus is an attraction concerning which there are no misgivings. It is "all to the good and as such it is deserving of what it in all likelihood will receive-a hearty, enthusiastic welcome, on it's re- turn here, from large, fashionable and justly friendly audience. The sale of seats begins Friday.

uiiou Theater.

This afternoon the Bijou stock. com pany will give its first performance of the grand scenic production of Ten Nights in a Barroom," Baby Syllah, the popular child artist, has been en- gagged particularly for this production. She is cast in the extremely pathetic character of Mary Morgan, and the reputation she has gained in other cities takes as a criterion she will inn mediately become popular with Bljou patrons.
 The old, old story told by this play, one of the greatest temperance plays ever written, seems never to lose it's power to fascinate. The play has been often instrumental in working ref ormatlon upon some man or woman who turned deaf ears to entreaties of wife, husband and friends.
 The stock company has been care- fully cast in the play, and the result will doubtless be a we'll balanced pro- duction. Lawrence B. MeGill is to ap- pear in the character of Joe Morgan. The piece will be given all the week, with the usual souvenir matinees Fri day and Saturday.

Po,l's New Thenter.

The Poli bill this week is headed by Paul spadoni, the juggler of two ex- tremes, wl1o is the rival of Paul Con- chas, who created such a furore here last season. spadoni is said to be the best of his class and will certainly cre- ate a sensation here.
 Two extra feature numbers are add ed to the bill Charles Guyer and Ida Crispi, late stars of Babes in Toy Iland," wiF be one of the numbers Their talking, singing and aorobatic numbers were the big features of the musical comedy and their hit in vaude- vile has been just as big. They are two lively ones who will be heard from on the bill.
 Tom Edwards, the famous English ventrilouuist, is one of the big treats coming. Edwards has a unique way of executing his vocal stunts and will be sure to arouse lots of interest. He was brought over especially for the Poli circuit.
 Madden, Fitzpatrick and company, n the sketch, "The Turn of the Tide,' will introduce two Waterbury boys in a number that has become the talk of the vaudeville world. J. w. Fitzpat- rick was the manager for Mr Poli in Waterbury for number of years and wrote the sketch in which he is now appearing. The story is one of deep heart interest, while enough comedy is

RINGS MADE IN PRISON.

 Grandma, just look at those funny rings in that window" said young lady on Sixth street the other day as she and a lady much old passed the window of small store whose nature was advertised by three large gilt balls overhead
 "They are black ! never saw black rings before. And look at that one. It's flat and set with silver stars, And there's another with little gold plate. Are they mourning rings?
 sNo." said the old lady. They are not mourning rings. They are remind CTS of that awful war"
 Why, what did they have to do with the war;" asked the girl in astonishment.
 Rings like those were made by the Confederate prisoners right here in St. Louis, said the old lady.
 There were many prisoners, hun dreds at. q time, locked up in the old Mcdowell College at Eigthth and Gratiot, and in the old Lynch prison for slaves, at Broadway and Clark avenue, Your grandfather was in Me- 1 Dowell's College, and the habits of the inmates became pretty familiar to him before he got out Most of the prisoners were captured in the field, with nothing in the world but the clothes they had on, and those were often ragged. The Government sup piled clothes for such as needed them 1 and benevolent people in the city both Nortlen and Southern sympthi- gers, sent great bundles of clothing ! to the prison, but some of those poor fellows were so proud that they ! wouldn't wear the Governments cloth. es, and said they'd die in their rag; before they'd wear charity garments So they made rings,

gutta percha buttons for them, and they were allowed, by special permit, little pocket-knives, that were gather ed up by the guards every night and issued again in the morning, and all day long they would sit and whittle the tough black buttons, making rings like those, and rounding them and polishing them by rubbing the against the walls and on the floor.
 Tt sometimes took a man two or three days to make a ring. Then the Union soldiers would sell them for the prisoners, and there was good sale for them at a dollar apiece. Some of those silver sets were made out of dimes that the prisoners ham mered until they were as thin as pa- per. suppose that gold set may have come from bit of watch ci1ain or something like that.
 '"The Southern girls all wore them for while.'
 The two went on. A day or two af- ter the young lady was passing the store window with companion and thought of the rings and the story.
 Let's go in and buy one for keep sake" she said. But the rings were not in the window. The two went into the shop.
 "Td like to look at some black rings you had in your window" They're gone." said the proprietor. "An old lady came in and bought the whole lot. t.''-From the St. Louis i Globe-Democrat. M

CARE OF EsQUIMAU BABY.

How the Little One Is Carried by the
 Mother-Primitive Ways in Alaska
 The arrvaI in the world of the youth full Esquimau is not greeted by the or thodox cradle and swaddling clothes. Practically till he can shift for him self he lives absolutely naked inside his mothers sealskin blouse, skin to skin keeping him warm.
 This arrangement allows the mother to go about her work almost im- mediately, and she can also travel and hunt perambulator and without having to leave any one at home to mind" the baby. The mothers dress is almost exactly like the fathers, ex- cept that it has a long sort of tail reaching nearly to the ground, em- bryo, no doubt, of the modern train"
 Spared the miseries of soap and wa ter, and early Weaned to the readily swallowed diet of blubber and raw seal meat, the Infant rapidly develops that invaluable layer of suboutaneous fat, which, while it enhances the jolly" appearance of the lads and the shapeliness of the maidens, assists materially in economy in clothing.
 Thus in their frigid cline, once in their skin tent, the whole family will divest themselves of every stitch of clothing, unembarrassed by the fact that so many families share the tent iwth them. sociability is early develop ed when one's next door neighbor on each side is only separated by an imaginary line between the deerskin you sleep on and the one he uses The winter deerskin serves as bed and bed ding at night and as parlor furniture during the day, Community of goods is almost imperative under this arr rangement. Thus when one kills a seal all are fed; and likewise, when he doesn't. all go hungry together. From the American Missionary

ENTERTAINMENTS
New Haven Theatre.

While the combination of capital in all lines of industrial enterprise during the past few years has made it almost impossible for a man with limited amount of money to engage in the mer- cantile or manufacturing business and successfully cope with the large corpor- ations, the same rule applies to the theatrical business. At the present time nearly all the first-class attrac- tions are controlled by company or an individual who has practically un- limited resources and from ten to twen- ty companies on tour and they are as solid financially, to quote a well-knoWn insurance company, as the rock of Gibraltar"
 My Wife's Family" which appears at the New Haven theater tonight, tomorrow night and Wednesday night, and at the matinee Wednesday, Is own ed by the Whitney Amusement compa- ny, a corporation which nit only con trols a large number of theatrical at fractions, but is also interested in many theaters throughout the United States and Canada, Their business is conducted on the same legitimate prin- ciples as bank, and they realize that in order to get the patronage of the people to whom they cater it is neces- sary to deliver the goods; consequently the standard of the companies under this management is maintained to such a degree of excellence that they play annual engagements in all the principal cities to large receipts each year.
 My Wifes Family" is constructed on up-to-date ideas, bubblng over with human fancies and spiced with fantas- tic satire and will he a red-letter mu- slcal comedy event. Rollicking fun and My Wife's Family" have become syn onymous terms to theatergoers. It is full of snap and ginger, and, besides, has the prestige of being written by Hal Stephens and Harry Linton, two of the best vaudeville stars of the past four seasons.
 My Wifes Family" is said to be a striking and pleasing departure from the conventional farce comedy, for the performance fairly teens with new and fetching situations, unique characters bright dialogue, melodious music and perfect deluge of fun. All the funny comedians, pretty girls, interesting nov cities of the season. bright vaudeville interpretations, together with a req clever vehicle for their display that is right up to the minute, are promised ir My Wife's Family" Regular popular prices.

MARY SHAW.

Miss Mary Shaw requires no tniro-
 duction to the people of this city, as
 she has already won the esteem and
 admiration of the people of this con- tinent from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and is acknowledged to be by far the greatest interpreter of the better class of drama on the American stage. She brings with her on this occasion an exceptionally strong supporting com pany, and all the lovers of drama should not fail to take advantage of witnessing her excellent work in the greatest Barrie comedy, 'Aliee-Sit-by the-Fire," author also of Peter Pan" and "The Little Minister The pro- duction is an elaborate one, every act, scene and property being carried, and

From 1876 until 1885 she was a member by election of the London School Board, and in 1885 she became a Parliament tary candidate, but was refused reeog- milton by the election officials because of her sex. She was intensely a Demo- crat, and from the Democratic poiat of view sch advocated woman spffrags and land naturalization and syrlpa- tilized with Socialism. She was an ardent supporter Of Henry Georges work in Great Britain in the sos and 9 personal friend of whom he often spoke in terms of respect and affee- ton.

 Fresh from a series of successes all most numberless in their entirety, her name is a synonym for all that ls poetic, naive and histrlonic in her art.
