Cane Men Claim It Is Skill Testing
 Amusement.

New Haven, May 13.-At Savin Rock, cane you ring is a cane you win--on every day but Sunday. That's where the cane man, Herman Jakob, thinks the injustice comes in. MT Jakob opened up his cane board last Sunday and sure enough, just as of old, as soon as he slipped the first five rings over the counter he was told by the police that it could not be permitted on Sunday Mir Jakob is a resident of the borough the year round and is taxpayer, but still h. says men come down to the Rock from out of town with amusemenrs that cause much more disturbance than the one by which he earns his living and are allowed to run on Sun day. To the Savin Rock privilege men Sunday is worth more, nearly than all the rest of the week put together. Although he doesn't say so, it must be rather grating on the cane man to sit still all Sunday and try to sell sou yenir sticks while the flying horse man is gathering in the nickles by the wholesale to the tune of the Merry Widow" Nevertheless the lids on and the nickels the cane man Is tabooed from getting will go to the peanut man, the shooting gallery man, etc., etc. E. ,..

GETTING MARRIED"
Three Hours of Staged Badinage Irri- tates Critics as Shaw Predicted.

London, May 13.-When George Bernard Shaw announced some time ago that he was writing a play on the subject of marriage he predicted that it would irritate the critics. The prediction was abundantly filed last night when he produced the play un. der the title of Getting Married" al the Haymarket theater. The critics all came away bored.
 It Is play only inasmuch as it was produced on a theatrical stage with a theatrical setting, being in .eality what the programme calls 1t, con. yersation, and it might as we'll be read or recited by one person. It it of course full of Shavian epigrams sparkling and paradoxical, and in the first part is extremely amusing Bu; 1t becomes terribly tedious toward the end. as there is no plot there is noth. ing to sustain interest.
 There are thirteen characters and all propound conversationally the ories on marriage which are alter nately whimsical. cynical. profound and vitriolic, but never tender oi emotional. It is true there is one eloquent appeal to man to appreciate woman in the soul as we'll as in tn. flesh but on the whole the thing car be summed up as three hours of au dacious badinage outshawlng Shaw.
