TWENTY DAYS IN THE SHADE
Elm City People Gave It Good
 Send on.

New Haven, Jan 17.-Comedy lovers enjoyed q rousing and laugh hegetting play last evening at the Hyperion theater when Twenty Days in the Shade was presented by Charles Frohman. Tine audience was large in number and larger" in its applause, the entire evening being q season of shouting, laughing and hand-clapping. At several periods the encOring and applauding destroyed line after line of the plays dialogue.
 An attempt at relating the plays original comedy would bafiie as well as exhaust space and thought. The authors were not satisfied with con- structing play of above the aver age" but went still further and put a fringe" or embroidery" on the orig inal comedy that delights with it's volume of hilarity as no play of this nature has heretofore done.
 The company producing the freak of fun-the play-is not unlike tho play itself in extraordinary quality. Dal- las Melford as shorty" has nothing to acquire in his interpretation Of d role productive of real fun. Pauline Fred erick is strikingly beautiful: SO are Nira Stowe and Fannie Harty. and Miss Jeffreys Lewis waddled about to the entire pleasure of the house.

DOG FIGHTS IN ITHACA.
Cornell Students Train Bulldogs to
 Fight-ODe Arrested.

Ithaca, Jan 17.--A series of dog fights between bulldogs by Cornell students and dogs owned by mem bers of the faculty and townspeople resulted yesterday in the arrest of Enrique GameTos of Chihuahua, Mexico. until recently student in the Cornell college of agriculture, by the local police on a complaint issued by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The complaint alleges brutal dog fight in the flat of two Cornell instructors. Hendrick and Cramer, in which Gameros had leased part of the rooms.
 While the instructors were away the Mexican is charged with induc- ing a white bulldog owned by Thom- as Herson, local sportsman. into the rooms and then melting his own big brute to fight him. Herson's dog is now in the Cornell college of veterinary fearfully mangled. Cam eros pleaded that he was intoxicated and did not know what he was doing.
 This fight is only one of many which have agitated the city for the last three weeks. Many complaints have been registered by professors and townspeOple of students who de- liberately train bulldogs to fight and then take them around the streets sieking them on any and all dogs they can find. The common council took official notice of the trouble Wednesday evening and drastic or dinances will he formulated.

CONVENT GIRLS
Entertained a Large Number at
 Noire Dame Last Night.

A large audience filled the convent hall last evening in anticipation ot an excellent entertainment given by the pupils of the Notre Dame acad' emy. The attractive hall, with its chaste decorations, formed a pleas ing background for glossy palms delicate ferns and a profusion oi white gowned girls. The French tongue prevailed, the good old Saxon seeming a dead language, while the following programme was enacted: Duo-Valse Venitienne. -. Rlnguet Bienvenue.
 Grand Choeur
 Homage d la Ven ... ...... ..... ... Margaret Bourgeois Recitation-Le Sou de lorphelin. Berceuse de Mozart. ..... .... ..... La Petite Chanteuse
 Harp ct piano.
 Saynete-Les refrains de nos
 Grandmamans.
 Le Poete .... ...... A. de Muset peretta-AntOinett au occur dor.
 Bonsoir ct merci.
 With native grace and charming cordiality Miss Margaret Tobin wei comed the audience. Her address was a convincing argument for the remarkable efficiency of Notre Dame's French tutors.
 Songs, recitations and an operetta displayed the wonderful and steady progress from grade to grade and making apparent the thoroughness and detail in teaching which charac- teriZe the good work of the sisters of the Congregation de Notre Dame.
 A decided hit was the appearance of the wee tors in Les refrains de nos Grandmamans. Quaint little grandmothers were they, as in caps and kerchiefs they wearily danced their way under the weight of years. It was living page from the latest edition of the Sun Bonnet Babies, and peals of laughter greeted them as the baby voices prattled French, sang Canadian ditties and finally ex- ecuted an old time Virginia reel with the stiffened joints and labored movements peculiar to the aged.
 The various parts of difficult op- eretta were credita0ly sustained by the members of the class of 1908. Miss Loretta Fitzmaurce imperson- ated Antoinette with the ability and fiuency of real P2risienne.
 A number not on the programme was a literary treat by Miss May Gaffney. The only English spoken throughout the evening was her paper on the Life of Margaret Bourgeois" the venerable foundress of the order of the Congregation de Notre Dame, and in whose honor the evenings entertainment had been prepared. Miss Gaffney's paper was a production of high merit and of genuine heart interest to the con vent pupils and to the large circle of alumnae present. It was read with faultless diction and left pleasing impression of Miss Calf ney's marked literary ability.
 A brief good night" by Miss Margaret Boyle closed an evening of exceptional pleasure to the patrons and friends of Waterbury's far famed convent. E. H. B,

WORKING HOURS
Local Manufacturing Plants Get ling Back 10 Normal Conditions.

Business prospects are considers ply brighter in Waterbury in some channels than they were last week. The clock making departments of the clock shop, which employs about 1000 mands, worked half a day more than last week, making the running time for that end of the con- cern five full days, while the watch department has had no let up at all, running the full complement of time with the usual force, six days a week, with overtime in one depart ment.
 While a few departments in the Waterbury Manufacturing Co.'S plant have eased up d little, fourteen rooms will run full time this week and continue so. This is a decided i'm provement in the business prospects of this very large concern.
 The Chase Rolling Mills, in which about 1000 hands are employed, will work day more than last week, making the total five days.
 The force of the casting depart ment in the American Pin Co.'S shop has been increased by four, making about eight in all, which is about one-half of the complement.
 The Matthews & Willard plant will run additional time this week in some of the departments. This concern has been running on a schedule of eight hours day, five days, for some tlme. In general way this concern is good deal busier than it Was last week.

ALLEN CONFESSED
According 10 ihe Sheriff Who
 Brought Him Back.

George Allen, who is awaiting trial for breaking into the office of the Goodyear Metallic Shoe Co and taking some $700, made q clean breast of the transaction to Sheriff James E. Sweeney en route from Philadelphia. where he was arrested few days ago. The consequences of the accusation he is facing did not seem to bother him as much as how his whereabouts came to the knowl- edge of the police. He had an idea that discovery came through pos tai card he sent to friend in New Brunswick, N. J., from Philadelphia, and then again he seemed under the impression that il was friend in Naugatuck who gave the police the information.
 Allen was an employe of the city engineers office in Waterbury a short time ago and when the winter shut off outdoor work he was dis charged with few others. He then fell in with Dunn, his alleged col league in the burglary, and their hard up circumstances led them, it is claimed, to the office of the rub Der company.
 When he was informed that At torney Kennedy of Naugatuck had been retained to defend him, he said he wanted no lawyer. Still he did not decline the services of MT Ken nedy when he faced the court in Naugatuck.
 After leaving Naugatucl Dunn and Allen went to New Brunswick, N. J., and few weeks later Allen moved on to Philadelphia. There he went under the name of Hay wood and how he came to be found by the police under that name seemed to occasion him a good deal of wonder He does not recall writ ing any letters or postal cards but one from Philadelphia, and that he sent to friend in New Brunswick. lie could conceive no other way of the police learning of his where abouts except through a friend in Naugatuck, and he appeared to have such faith in this friend that he was inclined it was through accident the police learned Of his presence in Philadelphia
 Allen made a clean breast of the alleged burglary to the officials of the company while he was in deten- tion in Philadelphia. He pleaded not guilty when arraigned.
