CARNIVAL AT CITY HALL.

Within day or two the deco rators will start their work to trans fer City hall into Little Ireland' for St Joseph's Irish carnival which opens on Saturday evening of this week. The carnival will have many attractions which will be new to the public of this city. The views of Ireland alone will be we'll worth the admission fee. Along with these views and exhibits first class enter tainment will be produced each even ing and there will be plenty of danc- ing to good music. The announce ment that Goodfng, Cronan and Company, the Waterbury aerial troupe, were to make their debut at the carnival has attracted much at tention and there Is no doubt but that the young men will be given a grand reception on the opening night. The act has already been looked over by few professional entertainers and the boys have received much praise for their work. It is thriller from start to finish and will keep the audience interested for 15 minutes. This act will be rendered on four nights of the carnival. Another line of entertainment will be an amateur night, in which all the amateurs of the city are invited to participate for the prizes. Amateurs desiring to en- ter should hand their names in at St Joseph's club house as early as pos sible Others who will entertain are St Roses society of Meriden, who will furnish minstrel performance and St Agnes's society of New Haven who will also entertain with min- strel show The admission each evening will be 15 cents.

HOW ITALIAN CRIMINALS COME

On every vessel sailing from Pa lermo or Naples are a dozen or more members of the Camorra or the Mafia. employed as sailors, coal heav- CTS and stewards. It is their fra ternal duty to aid their brethren to evade the passport law. If there are six or more members of ships company earnestly desirous of con eealing stowaway, the thing can always be done. There are recorded instances where stowaway, has been hunted for three hours by 20 men, after all the officers and crew have been sent ashore. and has re- mained undiscovered because he was sewed up in mattress in a bunk.
 When a steamship has tied up at her berth in an American port, the fugitive puts on the uniform or overalls of one of his confederates

SILENT CRANES.
A Nature Story by One of the Mount
 Taurus Climbers.

5AE A Nature Story by One of the Mount
 Taurus Climbers. N
 The mountaineer4sg glanced .compla- gently at his hard calves.
 ''We climbers" he said, "up there on the white heights see lots of things worth seeing. tell you we could if we wanted to outdo the nature fakirs without deviating from the truth. For instance, take the Mount Taurus cranes. Do you know the cranes of Mount Taurus?
 Well, these birds are great chatter CTS. They chatter, chatter, chatter. as they fly. Hanged if they're not worse than women. Up on the heights the eagles lie in wait for them, hidden be- hind crags or ice blocks. They don't have to show themselves at all. Their ears, not their eyes. tell them of the cranes approach, and, sweeping down on those bundles of feathers and noise. they take home mess of crane for dinner
 With their chatter and babble and gossip the cranes of Mount Taurus give themselves away in that still air to the eagles, and in all eagle house holds crane is the staple dish.
 But the old cranes fly without a sound-never word out of them as they sail and wheel In the blue air. That seems against nature. and it is against nature. The old cranes to re- strain their innate love of talk fly with large stones in their mouths.
 Shoot one of these crafty and silent birds and you will find his beak tight ly closed upon large stone. ."-Ex- change.

BROWN OF HARVARD" !"

Brown of Harvard" which the Shuberts present as starring vehi- cle for James Young at Polls to- morrow evening, is said to be the happy medium between the extraor- dinarily successful realistic drama of the last two seasons, and the big sparkling musical comedy whose vogue never seem to diminish, in that it has all the tense dramatic action of the one and the music, scenic and chorus ensembles of the other. While the dramatic action in Mir Young's vehicle enyolves bat few characters, the environment of his play and the unconventional oppor- tunities for musical numbers, make 1t necessary to carry company bal anced in histrionic talent and expen- sive in it's ensemble. Prices 25c to $1. Seats now on sale.

MY PARTNER"

Polls stock company is producing My Partner" at the Jacques this week. Although the play will not perhaps prove as popular as the pro auctions of the past few weeks, ney- ertheless it is an interesting drama we'll enacted. There is plenty of ac- tion in the performance and some one has styled it "a gripping play of western life It is not one of those rip roarers that fill the theater with smoke, but has enough ding in it to please those who like melodrama.

"IN THE NICK OF TIME. "

Wholesome moral sentiment pre- vails in Florence Bindley's new star ring vehicle, sterling drama en- titled, Tn the Nick of Time" It is just such sentiment that every moth CT wishes to instill in her daughter; the sentiment that makes class and distinction where wealth fails to cre- ate an impression. Girls, there's no reason for you to travel on the road that leads to heartaches, look to Florence Bindley, as the homeless flower girl, follow her example. There is much to laugh at, too, the comedy is funny and much to be amazed at in the way of scenic sur prises. The attraction comes to Po- lis on Thursday and Friday, Sep tember IT, IS.

ed it out that Governor Burke will
carry Pembina county again. We
can't believe that becaues yoii know
that a Democratic governor never
runs the second term so well as he
did the first-and Burke will be no
exception to- the rule. Moreover, this

no chances mixing up with Demo
