JACQUES;
VAUDEVILLE.

The big musical comedy act Para. disc Alley" has scored hit at the Jacques this week and the big com- pany of fourteen players furnishes a half hour of fine entertainment. Miss Margaret Haney, the souhrette of the piece, sings several pretty song and dance numbers and many of the east side types shown in the piece are most amusing. It Is sell dom that vaudeville team gets the reception that Is accorded Cameron and Flanagan in "On and Off" This is the act which has been classed by Zit, the well known New York vau- deville critic, as "the one perfect act in vaudeville" This praise does not seem extravagant after seeing the act. It shows song and dance team before the curtain and later in their dressing room. The dialogue is bright and amusing and the whole act refreshingly new and entertain ing. The supporting bill this week is strong and includes Miss Charlotte Cole, a talented soprano soloist, the Mystic Grasseys, Keene and Adams, Martin Brothers and Phil and Nellie Peters.

MARYLAND SENATOR DEAD.
William Pinkney Whyte Was Oldest
 Member of Upper House.

Baltimore, March 1S.-United States Senator William Pinkney Whyte, the grand old man" of Maryland. hon. ored through sixty years of public life by nearly every position of trust with in the power of the people of his state to bestow, died unexpectedly of erysi- pelas. He has been i'll only since last Thursday, when he caught cold on a train coming from Washington.
 Up to the last moment Senator Whyte possessed the youthful spirit and the wonderful mental energy that kept him young, although since the death of Senators Morgan and Pettus last summer he was the oldest member of the senate, being in his eighty fourth year.
 Senator Whyte was born in BaIti. more Aug. 9, 1924. His grandfather, Dr. John Campbell Whyte. one of the United Irishmen of 179s, came to America in 1900, and his maternal grandfather was William Pinkney, the celebrated Maryland Senator.

Chicago, March 1s.-Wllliam J. Bry- an was chief orator and guest of honor at the St, Patrick's day banquet of the Irish Fellowship club here. The things that hold us together as citizens are more important than those which ar- ray us in hostile camps" he said early in his talk, and with this sentiment as a key thought he confined himself to broad issues. He urged a union of lrishmen throughout the world, wheth- CT Catholic or Protestant. Love of liberty is not the sole possession of any one church" he said.

Roar Admiral Sperry Chosen as Suo-
 cessor of Evans.


 eessor of Evans.
 Washington, March 1S.-In view of Rear Admiral Robley D, Evans re. tirement from active service in August and his poor health the president and the cabinet have decided to relieve him on his own request of the command of the Atlantic battleship fleet. now at target practice in Magdalena bay, Lower California, after It's successful trip from Hampton Roads around South America.
 When the big ships leave San Fran cisco in July to enelrcle the globe 1t will be in charge of Rear Admiral Charles S. sperry, now in command of the fourth division of the fleet.
 Dispatches from the fleet since it left Trinidad, Its first port of call, have all referred to Admiral Evans bad health, which has kept him confined to his ship and made it impossible for him to take part in any of the festivities or receptions ashore at the ports touched by the fleet. The commander of the fleet is sufferer from rheumatic gout To Rear Admiral Thomas comes the honor of commanding the fleet on its visit to Puget sound and until ..the homeward journey begins. He has been second in command during the voyage and retires in October.
 These retirements make possible two promotions to the grade of rear ad- miral, and these are to be filled by the advancement of Captain Seaton Schro- der and Captain Richard Wainwright, who will command respectively the third and fourth squadrons of the fleet. Rear Admiral Emory will be com mander of the second squadron.
 Admiral Sperry, who is to bring the "big sixteen" back to the Atlantic coast by circling the globe, has had long and distinguished service in the navy He is native of New York, but is accredited to Connecticut in his appointment to the Naval academy. He became rear admiral in May, 1906.

Powers Acting In Accord,

navy free hand Powers Acting In Accord.
 France, England and Germany are now acting independently or, as they call it, in accord. The United States is determined for the present to be we'll represented na- yally until peace is restored to Haiti. The cruiser Des Moines was ordered from Guantanamo to Port-au-P Prince to assist the gunboat Eagle, which was sent to Haiti to protect American lives and property during the political ex. citement.
 Advices from Port-au-P Prince state that the representatives of the foreign powers there have decided that unless there is a rapid settlement of the pres ent crisis they will formulate a de- mand for the resignation of President Nord Alexis and the formation of a provisional government, to be followed Immediately by the elections.
 Will Permit No More Executions.
 In the meantime, the dispatch fur. ther states, no further executions will be permitted. Arrangements have been made, continues the dispatch, with the commanders of the German cruiser Bremen and the British cruis- CT Indefatigable to land marines at signal from the legations. The minis ter of war, General Celestin, has brought re-enforcements from Gonaives by order of the president. and he is manning the town defenses. The pres ence of the warships appears to have q salutory effect.
 Positive denial is made by the Hal tian officials of the reports that other executions have taken place than those on Sunday morning. when ten or twelve conspirators found, according to the governments statement, with arms and munitions for revolutionary purposes in their possession were shot to death.
 Under a decision taken by the coun- cil of ministers the government au- thorized the sending on board the war ships and out of the country the au- thors of the last insurrection who have taken refuge at the French, German and Spanish consulates at Gonaives. The government reserves for itself, however, the right to prosecute before properly appointed courts any persons who hereafter are implicated in uprls- ings, this action on the governments part being conditional on the repre- sentatives of the foreign nations agree ing not to give asylum in their respec- tive consulates in case of further rev olutionary movements being attempt ed. This measure of pacification. pro- vided it is carried into effect. would contribute greatly to putting an end to agitations.

REPERTOIRE AT PoLI's.

It is a good many years since Wa terbury theater-goers have wit messed the performances of reper- toire company. A few years ago this form of dramatic entertainment was very popular because it gave a chance to play-lovers to see excel lent productions of standard plays at reasonable prices. This old form of dramatic entertainment is coming back into vogue and all next week at Poli's the management announces the engagement of the well known actor, Daniel Ryan, and his associate players, in a number of standard productions.

Included among them are "The Merchant of Venice" "Macbeth," The Vagabond King" ''Virginius." 'The Bells, or the Murder of the Polish Jew" and "The Three Musketeers. Great credit is due Mir Ryan for the llb- erality he displays in his endeavor to supply to the patrons of the the ater the most superior quality of productions ever seen at the prices He has also surrounded himself with people of remarkable ability and this enables him to make his per formances most creditable not only to himself but also to those who are fortunate to witness them. Each play is produced with lavish scenic equipment. gorgeously costumed and enhanced with beautiful accessories that are at time bewildering.

 The phase of the matter which has escaped general observation is that the three European countries most concern ed have determined this time to act independently of the United States.

Emotional Stomachs.

The solar plexus is the emotional brain, says Professor Francois Guy ot. An emotion that attacks us is felt there first. Thus, If we feel anx- iety, it-may give us. if severe, a positive stomach ache. It may even be productive of nausea. Grief such as comes from bereavement may pro duce like symptoms. Spasms of hate or terror would have like effect
 While the brain does the thinking Professor Guyot opines that it does not feel. The cerebrum, the major part of the brain, is the intellectual but not the emotional center. The brain represents the intelligence. The spinal cord and the cerebellum, the latter the little brain not yet we'll understood and attached to the brain power govern equilibrium and the muscles of the body. But the emotions are located in the sym pathetic nervous system ramifying through the body. Their chief cenA ter is the solar plexus of nerves which lies against the backbone and embraces the stomach. This does not think. but it feels. What 1t does not feel it not felt at all, apart from pure intellectual cognition, and its purely passive and subjective sensa- tions may often be regarded as warm ing of danger or possible mischief well worthy of serious and thought ful consideration.-Chicago Tribune.
