TO LET1TCE WOFENDEN
 Bridgeport, Conn.,, Feb 26, 1909.

Dear Lettice,-
 Do you remember that you men toned about your sewing class. that you enjoyed it? Now we have start ed to sew white aprons and colored ones. Those who had more practice than others are sewing white aprons. I sew a white apron. I am on the French seam. That means the in side of the apron when we sew it to- gether. We have some space and then sew and then turn it on the out side. That's what we call French seam. The rest of the girls are sew ing colored aprons. We start at half past three and end at a quarter past four and we enjoy it very much. But it seems like one minute to us. We started four weeks ago. When your class goes to sew do you take the hour from your lessons? Our prfn- cipa1 thought that you must by your description.
 The boys play the band on Tuesday nights and we sew. Isn't it nice The band makes us so happy, don't you think SO? I will leave sewing and tell you about our letters.

Special from United Press.)
 Columbus, O., March 1S.-Marvin Hart's left hand, injured in his 13 round fight with Tony Rose at New Orleans last week, is still bad enough to keep him from fighting. Last night he had six round bout sched- uled with Mike Schreck here and a big crowd gathered. But when Hart showed a doctors certificate to prove his unfitness he was allowed to take back his $100 forfeit. His sparring partner, Dutch Schilter, went on in stead and lasted half through the sec ond round when Schreck put him down for the count.

 "The entire Council will be invited to attend the meeting" he said. and the question of the traction company being allowed to move several of its tracks. as is contemplated by them. will be most thoroughly. discussed"
 Several of the Aldermen expressed qualification at the postponemeut of the meeting because. they said. other bidders on the paving bonds. including the brokers and bankers seen by AL dermen Virgin and Gunter, in New York. can be heard from by then.
 There were more persons. not con nected with the Council. present at the meeting last night. than have been there in a year. It seemed they all expected something unusual to devel- op, and showed 1t by the dead silence that prevailed when Alderman Ruth rapped for order. and the disappoint- ment on their faces when the meeting was called od.

 The City Council was called to or der by Alderman Ruth. and the roll was called. It developed that a, quo. rum was not present.

 Mi, Dryer, accompanied by Attorney General Wickersham. went over to the White House. and President Taft gave them quite hearing. 1t being under several points to deternine whether or not he would he suitable successor to Acting Judge Hundley.
 Mr. Smith. accompanied by Represen- tative Underwood had a talk with Att torney General wickersfhm. It is un- derstood that he will see the Presi- dent tomorrow.
 Judge Kyle. so far as can be learn ed, did not get chance today to con suit the powers that be. He isn't say ing much if anything about his chances. Some of his friends are reported to have advised the President that if he wants a good man in Hundiey's place, Judge Kyle. would i'll the bill. But as Judge Kyle is not Republican the general opinion is he will not be ap- pointed, unless President Taft should suddenly change his mind
 Messrs. Smith and Dryer, from what they told a number of friends, have not learned anything definite since their arrival. They are all at sea just as Hundiey. Street, Pleasants. Camp bell and others were when in Wash ington. 1st

At The sfajestic.

Novelty of the highest class rules the big bill of seven turns at the Ma iestic Theatre for this week. Novelty with class-gymnasts. fine costumes clever monoIogue, superb singing to satisfy the most carping critic of the vaudeville stage. And together with this there Is trained dog turn that should draw excellent houses of chill dren during the week.
 The Poiriers. heralded as the Worlds Greatest Gymnasts.' come mighty close to filling the bill. Sui perb physical development, with tricks on the rings that few can equal, the double dis1ocation on . sixteen-inch bar, by the male member of the team. comes as a fitting climax.
 Lester and Mildred sister team. are two handsome girls who sing and dance in acceptable manner. Their ces- tunes are good. while their songs are strictly original.
 Hodges and Darrell approach the success made by Inpess and Ryan who appeared during the first part of the season with the sheath gown. The pair at the Majestic this week. have plenty of costumes, and their songs please.
 syvlan and -oNeai have turn that drags triie at the beginning. but which brightens up considerably to- ward the end. There is not a word to brighten up things. the two relying on simple pantomine and acrobatics to gain their applause.
 Joe A. Hardman made distinct sue- cess of his first appearance this week. Ills dialogue is capital without sim gle old joke for twenty minutes. To- ward the last his Jokes are recognized as old favorites but the way he gets them of. together with q few new stunts to help out. makes his turn stand out as one of the best turns on the bill.
 Karl Emmy and his dogs have . clean, thoroughly enjoyable perform ance for both parent and child. The act goes on without the delay of sul- len performers, and the electrical ef- fects add much to the quality of the turn. @s~
 Reserved for the last is the drawing card for the week--the Paul Durand Trio. This Is a great trio of golden throated Italians who fill the theatre with magnificent melody. They make costume changes. but no one in the au- dence cares whether they have cos- tune changes or not, so long as they sing. They received many encores at both performances yesterday. and will be the big drawing card for the re. mainder of the week.
 The seven big acts are closed with the moving pictures. which have prov ed a standing attraction since the opening of the theatre.
 Several hundred persons were turned away from the doors of the Majestic yesterday. Those who failed to get in side missed some good things.

At The Grand.

Manager Youngs packed his Grand Theatre at every performances yester- day afternoon and night with the ex- ctllent bill of vaudeville which is to appear during the coming week. One of the attractions. that of onri AL Montgomery before. and last night 1t was thoroughly enjoyed again.
 Beginning with a team of gymnasts that are equals of any who have ap- pearsd in Montgomery. there Is not e dull moment during the entire per- tormance. Baron and Milo have per feet physical development In combfna- ton with unusual auickness. Hand- balancing and feats requiring enor- nous strength. are gone through with amazing ease. Concluding their turn. the pair have a unique stunt. One of them stretches himself on the floor beyond three chairs, the other. with a running start. does dive across the chairs, catching himself on the hands of the other. and doing .. perfect hand stand
 sanford and Darlington are clever entertainers with their dialogue. The male member of the team does some excellent juggling with his hat and with lighted cigar. while getting on some humorous talk
 Then comes the onri-Aithorpe Com pany, with the spade dance and skirt dance on top of a large ball. The spade dance has been seen in Mont gomery before. as we'll as the baianc- ing skirt dance. and was . hit. The same will hold good with their per formance at The Grand this week. for all audiences heartily encored their ef' forts to entertain.
 The excellent bill Is started with moving pictures and Is closed by them. They are of unusual excellence this week, and will prove most attractive to those having haif-hour to watch them.
