Rend the Journal- Courier for full re. ports of all the Chapman meetings. s.

Polls tteater was crowded to tho doors at o'clock yesterday atternoonl ! to hear pr. J. Wilbur chapwan open the evangelistic campaign in New Ha- { ven. Every seat in the great auditor ium was taken. both in the orchestra and in the balcony, while in the rear | on both floors there were crowds of men standing four and five rows deep. l The meeting was held entirely for men and among those that came all classes of society were represented. S every kind and condition of man On the big stage, which had been set as an interior were seated the clergy of the city distinguished guests and a monster chorus of male voices. There were easily 200 men on the stage to- { gethen
 From this, the first big meeting of < the Chapman evangelists, many con- ciusions were drawn as to what may be expected of them while they are in New Haven. As the great assemblage went out at the conclusion, however. there was hardly a note of dissension among the numbers of men who had come to see, to hear and to pass 1udg-s ment.
 Personality of Chapman. {.
 Dr. Chapman is 0 well-built man of medium stature. He has clear eye and to look at him one cannot but know that he is a thinker equally as clear. His way of talking is not at all spectacular. Those who go to hear him. thinking they will hear such an one, will be disappointed. He is not atl all that type of man. He seldom raisesI his voice. His effects are gained rath- CT by the general earnestness of his bearing. his gestures and his tone, and by repetition. The latter was shownI often. His subject yesterday afternoon was "A Terrific Whirlwind," and dur-l ing the course of his sermon he toolA occasion again and again to repeat: Sow the wind and you reap the whirl- wind; God hath decreed it; 1t is His law and God knows"
 Many times during his sermon he clapped his hands together loudly, just as he came to salient point. Or he would snap his fingers and point ap- pealingly at the men before him. It was evident that he had his audience with him from the very start. There was not noise of the slightest varie- ty to interfere with him. More than & few times his hearers broke out in spite of themselves in applause at his remarks. Quick as flash then pr. Chapman would raise his hand, good- naturedly and say, Listen, don't ap-

JU MPED FOR SKATES
New Haven Boy Dropped Them from Freight Train He
 Rode on.
MAY LOSE HIS LEG NOW
William Fields, Going to Milford Skat- ing, Found Lying by the
 Tracks There.
(specIal to the JournaI-Courier.) }

Milford, Jan. 5,-While passing the railroad cut in this town this after noon about o'clock, George M. Gum. the well known attorney, found Will liam B. Field, l4 years old, of 147 Plymouth street. New Haven, lying beside the track, with his left foot mangled and his right leg badly cut and bruised.
 When taken to Mir. Gunn's house, which is nearby, the boy said that he had been riding from New Haven to Milford on freight train for the pur- pose of skating. He had dropped his skates from the car on which he was riding and on attempting to jump on after them, he fell backwards to the ground, his left foot going under the wheels of the next car The boy then vividly described how he was dragged along for a short way with the train and then left there without a person u help him Mir Gums arrival came just when the boy began. to get faint from the loss of blood and when ne was in emi-conscious condition,
 Attorney Gum called Dr. Putney and the boys injuries were oandaged as well as possible. MT, Gum desired that the Field boy be kept at his house but the doctor was of the opinion that the boy should be taken to a New Ha- ven hospital as soon as possible as 1t might save the amputation of the in jured boys leg.
 pr. Putney telephoned to the Grace hospital and asked to have an ambu- lance at the corner of Church and Chapel street on the arrival of the o clock car from this town.
 The boy was received by the Grace hospital ambulance in this city on the arrival of the car. At this point the boy exhibited wonderful pluck. He hopped from the trolley car. landing on his good leg and then requested that he be allowed to ride on the seat with the driver.
 At the hospital young Field was at once taken care of by the doctors who said 1t would probably be necessary tc amputate his left leg below the knee in the morning. He Is the son of Wil. liam B. Field, locomotive engineer.

Some Extracts from the War Journal
 of a GeOrgia Girl.

A remarkable manuscript diary which has recently come into the pos session of Appleton's Magazine. will shortly be issued in book form. Miss E. F. Andrews. of this city, has been persuaded to allow 1t to be published after she has extracted a certain amount of purely personal matter.
 The editor of the magazine says in her charming manner she writes in her introduction that 1t is startling for the grayhaired woman of today to read the utterances of the hot-headed young girl who was once herself She apologizes as "Philip sober" for the frankness of the purely personal diary. which. as Phil ID drunk" she wrote from day to day in Georgia during 1884 and 1865. She is the daughter of a Southerner who was a strong Union man. Her own sympa thies. however were and are en- tireIy with the South, and she has re- corded in her diary the events. large and small, with which the troublous times were coloreds doing this with a spriEhtliness of narrative and dual- tty of literary grace as sincere as tt fs remarkable. Nowhere have these richly varied human emotions found more sensitive narrator than in rns Georgia girl of this diary.
 Some extracts are given In the March number of Appleton's and VIII be followed by others telling Of the Passing of the Confederacy, and tns arrival of the victors."

At The TheatO.


 This weeks vaudeville bill at the Theato will be most entertaining, there being three acts each of decided merit, in addition to the orches- tra and moving pictures and will en- nance still further the reputation this popular theatre is fast acquiring for having wonderfully good show for the small admission charged and em- phasizes the high character of the at fractions furnished through the South ern Advanced Vaudeville Association.
 The performance begins with an overture by Hoffman's orchestra, play ing intermezzo Sierre Madre. (Kauf- man). which will be enjoyed by an who attend. as the Theato's orchestra was at once recognized to be fully equal If not superior to any other in the city.
 Next on the program is Frank Nan ton and his dogs in a comedy military dog act which is wonderfully clever as well as amusing.
 Mile. Aimee America's greatest fire dancer, follows. with her sensational spectacular dances. five in number; the Gold Dance. in which she wears the heaviest costume ever worn; Rainbow Dance; Picture Dances; Fire or Vol cano Dance; Lily Dance in which she wears the largest costume in the world The wonderful dancing of Mile. Aimee has created a sensation wherever she has gone and the people of Montgom- cry are fortunate in being afforded san opportunity of witnessing marvellous dancing and brilliant electrical and color effects which are witnessed dur ing Mile. Aimee's performance. Rankin and Leslie. a high class mu- Sical act give an exhibition of musical skill on numerous musical instruments introducing many new and novel feat ures have made a decided hit where ever they have appeared and will un- doubtedly prove one of the strong | est attractions on the bill.
 Moving pictures follow and close the performance, which will undoubtedly ] he by far the best vaudeville perform ance ever seen in Montgomery at such marvellous low price and ranks easily with performances given in other cities | in theatres where much higher admis- | sion is charged.

 Nat Goodwin in his new play. The
 Fastener" will be the attraction at The Grand Tuesday night.
 By many of the ablest commentators
 Mir. Goodwin Is looked upon as one of the greatest of American actors, and foremost comedian.
 "The Fastener" was written espe- cialiy for MT. Goodwin by George Broadhurst. the author of The Man of the Hour" which has achieved the
 most remarkable success of any play produced in years. 'The Man of the Hour" Is now in it's second year of un-
 abated popularity at the Savoy Thea tre, New York. while at least three
 companies are on tour presenting it to
 enormous business.
 The Fastener" was written for Mr. Goodwin more as a labor of love than from any monetary consideration-as Mir. Broadhurst and Mir. Goodwin are | friends of many years standing. and although MT. Broadhurst is very busy
 uan--having contracts with several prominent stars for plays to be com pleted and produced in the near future he had promised to write a new play for Mir. Goodwin. and "The Eastern CT" is the result of that promise In
 devoting his time to this play. he did ] so at the sacrifice of many other im- portant engagements, but with the
 avowed resolution to furnish his friend | with the best comedy 1le has thus far
 written. and If reports he true. he has
 succeeded admirably. for "The Eastern
 CT" Is said by those qualified toNjudge.
 to be one of the brightest, most novel and laughable comedies imagina ble :.
 Mir. Goodwin carries a company of ca l pable and well known players who have been selected by him personally
 for their especial fitness to the various
 characters they assume in his new comedy and the play will be staged
 in manner thoroughly up to the Good

laudatcry criticisms from both press and public. and the big theatre was crowded continuously during the en- gagement to see what has been de- scribed as the greatest play yet writ ten by an American.
 The story Is one that has been based upon Bret Hartc's story of the same name, and 1t depicts the life in Cali fornia shortly after the gold fever had abated. when the emigrant population from the East had settled down to ag- ricultural pursuits. The story in itself Is just a wholesome tale of a woman's love and a mans faithfulness,' with the necessary modicum of complication worked in to give 1t consistency. It is big and broad, and breathes the spirit of the Redwoods; it carries with it the atmosphere of truth; the purity of a geod woman: the vengeful justice that existed in those days before the law had crossed the divides; the neces- sity for strong women and powertul men to cope with the conditions of new country.
 Everyone who has seen the play has expressed admiration for it. and the praises that have been bestowed upon Miss Robson herself in the name versally accepted as a truth that never before has an American actress had such role. and that never before has such part been played. Miss Robson invests the character of the frontier girl with a dignity. a force and sweetness that Is indescribably en- trancing. and places her at once upon footing of increased strength. In the excellent Scompany that the star brings with her win be found such players as H&B. Warner, Scott Cooper, George W. Wilson. A. Lipman, Earl Brown. Thomas Graham. Charles Gra- ham. Ada Dwyer and three wonderful children. Donald Gallaher. Viola Sa- voy and Marjorie Conway.
 The entire production has been built upon scale of immensity and breadth that has seldom been attempted, and the results are to say the least start ling. When the Curtain rises upon the first act the redwood forest Is disclosed and this seems to stretch out to limit less horizons. There are giant trees that make the figures on the stage seem puny by comparison. and there is wonderful coloring about the scene ! that carries with 1t conviction of the real thing The second act is even finer and the third and fourth have each some extraordinary merit Of themselves. Liebier & Co.,. Miss Rob- sons managers, have surrounded their star with the best play. the best com pany, and the best production that money and brains could purchase or produce.

IfuheIflx Comlnn,

On Monday. February 24. at The Grand, Jan Kubelik. who Is pow mak- ing his third American tour under the direction of MT. Daniel Frohman, will give concert in this city.
 The celebrated Bohemian violinist. playing a program rich in variety and attractive in each selection, is a magnet that will draw all genuine music low CTS. The most sensational violinist Of the century--the re-incarnated Pag- anini, the genius who makes his in- strument laugh. cry, sob, sing and com mand at will, the musician who swayA his audiences as if they were part of his spirit being, all this and more, it is small wonder that Kubelik's tour nees in Europe and America alike have created furores of intensity that have never been surpassed-not even In the ease of Paderewski. Kubelik is now at the fulness of his powers. When he first electrified America seven years ago. he was little more than boy Now that he has reached matur- ity, his musical puissance has increas- ed fourfold. From a proidgy he has developed into a master. Along with his marvellous technique, has grown an in- terpretative power which enables btm to reveal the inmost thoughts-to lay bare the deepest souls of the great composers. In fact, as well as being mechanically perfect, on ms lnstru- ment. he has earned the right to be called the spokesman of Beethoven. Bach. Handel. Mozart, Paganini Ernst and Nieniascky. Ills magic violin Is their voice. from It's sounding board vibrates their feeling and emotions. Kubeliks program for this city Is we'll calculated to demonstrated the charac- ter of his gifts. Being alternately classic and romantic. 1t runs the gamut of sensations and gives him opportun- ity to touch the extreme capacity of his violin and of his own talent and achievement. The program here will include the concerto in D minor of
 T.aniawsky. one of the best known, and at present most popular of modern works for the violin, a Bohemian work by Fibich: also numbers by Spohr. Tschaikowsky, Wieniawski and Paga- min and encore numbers by other fa- nous composers. Herr Ludwig Schwab will be the accompanist, and Mile. Berthe Roy will give piano solos by Chopin. Saint-Saene, Moskowski, and Schumann.
