POLES
\ MAN AND HIS MATE" 1"

A notable event In local theatrlcal, will take place at Polls theater this evening when Waterbury will see for the first time Harold R. Durant's new
 play, "A Man and His Mate" Many
 of MT Durant's friends here have ar ranged to give the local playwright q
 warm reception and tIe occasion will be one long to be remembered in local theatricals. It will be a distin-
 guished gathering of not only local people, but well known New York
 theatrical lights will be on hand to
 see the new piece. A company Of | quality has been gathering for MT
 Durant's play. Miss Hilda Spong, the the well known English actress, be. came so interested in the piece that
 she purchased 1t and will play the
 leading role Miss Spong stands high
 in the theatrical world, having been
 leading woman for Henry Miller, | William R. Crane and William Fa- versham. One of the hits of the
 piece is said to be Herbert Percy, the
 English actor, formerly leading man l for Miss Margaret Ellington. MT Percy plays the role of Choo, the Chinaman, and the characterization
 is said to be wonderfully clever bit of acting. The supporting company
 includes the names of many well
 known players. "A Man and His
 Mate" opened Monday night to a
 crowded house at South Norwalk. I There were a number of metropoli-
 tan theatrical men present and al!
 had the highest praise for the play
 and the production. The scenes are
 laid in the great southwest, near the l Mexican border, and the scenic in- I vesture is said to be unusually elah0-
 rate. As for the play itself, the
 heroine is product of eastern edu- cation and culture, placed in set ting of wild western atmosphere. I The action is swift and intense and
 there are thrills in many of the
 scenes. The play shows the gradual transition of the highly bred heroine
 from a state of passionless torpor to
 the level of the normal woman, who
 loves with an intensity which is al-
 most primitive. The play is an ab-
 sorbingly interesting study. It will
 be seen at Polls this evening and on
 Thanksgiving afternoon and evening

Of course The Blue Mouse" is not blue mouse at all and is in no manner re- lated to the purple COW or other such fantastic creatures. The Blue Mouse is feminine and human. The name is merely a nickname given Paulette Devine, nee Maggie Me- Hooley, who has acquired fame as ] Salome dancer and who is the prlnci- pal figure in the intrigue of the con- edy. The members of the company want a real blue mouse as mascot for the organization. As such crea- ture, has never been discovered the stage manager threatens to dye the white mouse blue for the occasion. Prices, matinee 25 cents to 75 cents, evening 25 cents to $1.50.

1.-THE MERRY WIDOW

The Merry Widow hats have been with us in their immensity for some time, and the woman from Water bury to Los Angeles who does not
 know them is very likely an Indian, yet something bigger and better known than the most tremendous
 Merry Widow hat will be In evidence at Polis theater soon. Leading the long cast, Miss Mabel Wilbur in the title role, deserves to be called the
 best dressed woman on the musical stage of America, and her gowns as shown in each of the three acts ap- proach the superlative. Charles Meakins has the reputation of living fu up to his princely role on the stage and making the most of his oppor- tunities as a singer and dancer. And long list of others play their parts while the puiquant struggle of wills
 goes on between the prince and the merry widow. The opera will be seen here Monday, Tuesday and
 Wednesday of next week. Seat sale rFiday morning. ..

TOWN MAY BE in CLOVER.
Looks Ahead to the Possibility Of
Freedom from Tax.

Pensauken, N. Y.-To live in a
well-governed community without pay.
ing taxes is a present dream of Pen
sauken township in view of the pro.
posed improvement of Petty's island,
which is within the township limits. It
is added to the assessed value Of the
township land, and if the $4,000, 900
park projected there really material.
ICES its taxes will be nearly enough
to run the whole township.
Pensauken is now practically a part
Of the borough of Merchantville, which
it adjoins, and has all the advantages
of the latter's police and fire protec'
ton without the cost.
The big increase in the taxables OF
the township is likely to cause the
city of Camden to wish to bag so rich
a booty, and it is not unlikely to lead
to an annexation bill at the next ses
sion of the legislature, when all Of
Merchantville and Pensauken town
ship will be attached to that city.

DEER DIG
Unearth Vegetables from Hills, But
Eat Only Larger Ones.

Spearfish, S. D.-Deer that eat po-
tatoes and despoil the patches of pros
pectors have furnished the latest top
ic for the nature takers whom the
president has been busily denouncing.
Near Mineral Hill lives John Nee
han, who works a number Of claims
during the winter and cultivates a
truck garden in the summer. Meahan
declares that deer in his vicinity are
becoming so plentiful that for three
nights they have entered his potato
patch and gone from hill to hill, dig
ging up the vegetables and eating
them. He sat up the third night and
witnessed the performance. AS the
deer season is not open, he could not
kill them, but drove them away.
i The deer, he said, ate only the large
potatoes and paid no attention to the
smaller ones.

PLAN OF MRS, EDDY
CHARITABLE FUND
MILLION DOLLARS FOR FOUND
ING OF INSTITUTION.
TO TEACH THE INDIGEN
5eneficiaries, with Their Families,
Will Be Supported While Learn
ing Science of Christian
Healing.

Boston, Dec. 2S.-Details Of the
plans of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
head of the Christian Science church,
in relation to the charitable institu-
ton which she is to found, are con-
tanned in an editorial by Archibald
Mcclellan in the current issue of the
Christian Science Sentinel. The edi-
torial says in part:
Mrs. Eddy has consented that the
institution which she purposes to
found will bear her name, therefore
it will be known as Mary Baker G..
Eddy's charitable fund The board of
directors will be located in Boston, the
recognized headquarters of her
church, and in plan and scope this
fund will be an educational oppor-
tunity by which INDECENT persons will
be taught gratuitously the science of
the Christ healing as practiced by
Jesus and as made known through the
writings of Mrs. Eddy.
Million Dollars to Be Given.
The sum of $1,000,000 will be de-
voted to this sole purpose. Mrs.
Eddy's benevolence will be open to all
those individuals who are genuinely
interested in Christian science for its
truths sake and who shall present to
the board of directors Of the fund sat
isfactory certificates Of their indi-
gence, their religious views and their
moral character. The students Of
Christian Science will be maintained
by this fund until such time as the
board of directors shall have pro-
nounced them good healers Of the
sick, and deliver to them certificates
to this effect.
To Support Beneficiaries.
The bene1ciaries of this fund, and
the families of those who have fam.
flies, are to be supported from the
income of the fund and the number OF
students and their families to be sup
ported will depend upon the amount
of this income.
Mrs. Eddy has turned this matter
over to a prospective board Of direc
tors for them to work out the details
Of the charity. In the meantime nc
further information upon this subject
can be given out and no letters Of in
quiry should be addressed to Mrs
Eddy"

A good many years ago-z7, to be
exact-the most famous model in the
world, Antonio Corsi, wandered from
town to town as a strolling minstrel in
England. Felix Moscheles, the ia
nous artist, happened to discover him
at Dover, brought him to London and
employed him as a model. That was
the beginning of a really artistic
career, and to-day Antonio Corsi has
the distinction of being the finest
model in the world, as we'll as the
most famous. All classes of painters
have been thankful to employ him.
He posed for Sargent and Abbey for

Pets Whose Owners Are Away.

Paris The latest novelty is a dog
ummer resort, just outside of Paris.
A keeper on the Bots de Boulogne has
opened a dog boarding house, where
canine pets have a summer residence
during the time their owner are trav-
cling.
The promoters say dogs get run
down like individuals and need a
change and a fresh garden in which
to play. Prices vary according to the
size of dog and how much he eats.
Just now about 60 dogs, pets OF
wealthy and titled persons, are having
holiday, awaiting the return of their
owners
Each dog has his own house. The
menu varies according to the day OF
dog, or health of the animal, but is
usually pot au feu or veal.

The increase in imports into Ameri-

the increased prices which imported

it is impossible now to determine, but
the figures are at hand which indicate
that not merely the quantity of the i'm

countries of origin is responsible for.
the large imports of the last year or

tics prepared by the government that
the narrowing of the margin between
imports and exports is due not to a de-
crease in the exports but to an in
crea in the value of the imports.
