no president under any stress of

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Mrs James Cushing of Bridge port was a visitor in Brooklyn yes terday.
 It is said that some of the streets of Town Plot are inches deep in mud.
 There was ball game on the lot near the Bank street bridge thls morning. Although there must have been fifty boys and young men on the lot, few or any of the Brooklyn youth were to be seen. It was an altogether different crowd.
 Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock trolley car got off the track on Bank street, near South Leonard. While coming down the fender just glanced the dump cart of Alex Me- Donald, but it was enough to cause the front truck of the car to get oil the rails. It took the crew only a few minutes to get the car back on the track.
 The members of the Brooklyn polo team will act as body guard to Matthew Dunphy this evening. Tonight is the eve on which he re- ceives the prize money of the Anna teur Polo league, and with $75 on his person Dunphy will need protec- tion from hold up men. James Ma lone, secretary of the league, will receive the money from the polo managers and he in turn will divide it among the four teams of the league.
 Joseph A. Smith, captain and manager of the Brooklyn Business Mems base ball team, has sent out notices to the candidates for that team that the first of the spring prac- tice will be held tomorrow at Cor coran's lots. The make up of the team this year will be entirely of business and professional men, and it is expected that about fifty candi- dates will appear tomorrow for the opening try out. The team this year looks as though it would De hum- mer.

LAKE SELLS INTEREST.
H. c. Nlurlless and Waterbury Men
 to Take Charge This Week.

Hartford, April 2.-The Tunnel >Coal company, of which Lieutenant Governor Everett J. Lake is the pres ident, treasurer and principal stock holder, changes hands this week, MT Lake having sold out most of the interest to Fred G. Humphrey and LeRoy Humphrey of Waterbury and Herbert c. Murlless of Hartford and Rockville MT Murlless, for several years, up to last November, was with w e. Mason & Co and he, with Le- Roy Humphrey, will have active charge of the business. The Hum- phreys have been connected with the Ci,y Lumber and Coal Company of Waterbury, but have withdrawn their connection. Fred c. Humphrey, however, who is an uncle to LeRoy. is going to the Waterbury Coal and Lumber Company, which has been closely connected in a financial way with the company he leaves.
 The change in the Tunnel Coal company has been in the air for some time and there was a rumor about that the deal had fallen through. Lieutenant Governor Lake said yesterday, however, that the new men would probably take charge this week. The annual meet ing will be held April 13,, at which time it is expected there will be some change among the officers of the company. The lieutenant gov ernor said esterday that no change among the employees of the com pany was expected. The Tunnel Coal company was incorporated February IS, 1902, with a capital of s25,000, succeeding a coal busi- ness conducted by Henry c. Burgess. MT Lake retains his connection with the Hartford Lumber company.

BEHIND THE SCENES.
Land of Nod" Makes Extra Work
 for Local Theater Men,

More activity is being displayed around Polls theater nowadays than has been observed in this immediate neighborhood in a long time. The first sign of it was noted in the ticket office where preparations are going on which presage the advent of some- thing out of the ordinary.
 What's doing?" was asked by c reporter.
 Getting ready for next weeks big show" was the prompt answer.
 The Land of Nod comes Monday and we're getting ready for rush. If you want to see some real prepar- tion though, step back on the stage" Curiosity led the reporter ts the mysterious realm behind the foot lights where, it was quickly discov- cred, the manager had not oyerstated the situation. Boss Carpenter Rob- was engagaed in putting out of sight everything about the place which was movable. Huge coils of new rope were being brought onto the stage, and two men were filling little canvas bags with shot. Electrician Cleland was creating new connections, em- ploying apparently miles of insulated wire, and Tom Corrigan. props" had his own troubles cleaning out every spot in every corner of the big stage. Men could be seen at work up in the flies, and hustle and confusion was manifest everywhere.
 ''Busy'' inquired the reporter.
 ''Busy" calculated that funetionary. "There'll be no sojering around here for the next few days-that's no dream! This "Land of Nod" show that's coming next Monday after noon and night. sent the stage mana ger here the other day, ana this is what he handed me-" And Mr Rob- inson produced a couple of large sheets of paper on one of which was printed the brief directions:-'.Wer require an absolutely clear stage. Have fifty sets of lines ready and lowered, and provide all the clear space possible for large props"
 Then followed curious diagrams made to scale, on which were indi- cated such things as The House of Cards "The Peppermint River" "The Candy Bridge" Mushroom Tree" Cyclone Head" Large Re- volving Rose.' "Bonny's House" and so on.
 We've had some corkers in this house since I first came herc' re- stunned the boss, but this looks like the limit" i've never been called before to furnish more sets of lines than we have fin the regular cquip- rIent." he said pointing to the coils of rope that were being carried in from a wagon at the stage door," That man over there" indicating the fellow who was filling the bags with shot. "is making counter weights for the drops, and Mr Props is cleaning house for fair" "But, I must keep at it. or we won't be ready and Robinson re- stunned his usual task
 It Is interesting to note that this Land of Nod production comes under the same management which sent us Coming Thro' the Rye, It is what Is known as "ExtravaganEa." which really means musciaI comedy upon a large scale. with huge fantastic sets Of scenery. representations of curl ously mythical locale and the intro duction of fancifuI custuming.
