CADETS DRILL.
Boys Unable to Accept Invitation, ss
 Uniforms Will Not Be Here.

All three of the temperance cadet companies, Companies A and B of the boys and St. Anne's detachment of the girls, were at the T. A. B. building Sunday afternoon for drill under the instruction of DrfIlmaster John Craw- ford. There was a full turnout and creditable work was done. but espe- cially by the girls, who are getting in trim for the exhibition drill which they are to give at their dance. Drillmas- ter Crawford is predicting that they will surprise the parents and friends when they are seen for the first time in public in their revolutions.
 The two companies of boys have re- ceived an invitation from Sedgwicx post, No. 1, c. A. R., to march with them on Memorial day, but 1t has been declined with regret. because the uni- forms for the boys will not be here py that time. Otherwise 1t would have been eagerly accepted and the boys and their officers and advisers are greatly disappointed that IL had to be declined now. At. St. Patricks church on Sunday morning the rector, Rev. Hugh Treanor spoke briefly in com- mendation of the spirit and interest shown by the boys in their organiza- ton, and expressed the hope that it might be possible for every boy in the parish to be enrolled.

An hour later the official band, under the leadership of From" Morgan will burst forth into concert programme, which will not be ended until 8 o'clock. When the music of the last number dies away 1t will be time for the ceremonial session, and what happens there the candidates will hate to tell. Anyway, the official pro- granlme urges the nobles, when they go out looking for victims, to tell the novice that all the stories about ropes, carnels, goats and hot sand are all vapor." and that. on the contrary, the candidate will get few more than all the good things which are coming to him.

Parisian Sage Made Her Hair Grow
 Two Inches in Seven Months

 Joan Sawyer a clever, handsome actress, has this to say of Parisian Sage:
 "To whom 1t may concern: Have tried most every hair tonic available, and at last Parisian Sage was recom- mended to me, and, as a last recourse, used 1t to my entire satisfaction. My hair has stopped falling, dandruff stopped, and my hair has grown two inches in the last seven months. It Is the best and only sure cure for thin and short hair know."-Joan Sawyer, 5s East s6th St., New York City.
 Parisian Sage is the scientific hair restorer that has created such sem sation since its introduction into America about two years ago. It is such a quick acting prescription that every agent who sells it will guaran- tee 1t to cure dandruff, stop failing hair. splitting hair, and itching scalp in two weeks, or money back.
 It Is the most delightful hair dress ing in the world, and is highly praised by society women and actresses who have luxuriant and glorious hair.
 It will turn harsh, lusterless hair into soft, silky and luxuriant hair fin a few days.
 The Lee & osgood Go. are the agents for Parisian Sage in Norwich. and they sell 1t for 50 cents a large bottle. the largest bottle for the price on the market.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.

Vaudeville that cannot fall to be a winner this week was shown at the Auditorium Monday and in the even ing 1t was standing room only with curtain calls coming fast for the dif- ferent numbers. Prominent in the public favor was Deodato &- Co.,, Ttal- ian magician, who is the best in that line that has been seen in this city in a long time. He has handsome stage settings that add to the attractiveness of his magical acts, which are top liners for novelty and orieinality. Cecil Morris & Go. in the Bowery sketch "Slats' are the other big hit of the bill. and likewise in the first class of it's kind. Cecil Morris as "Slats," the Bowery girl, Bertha Brent as her blind friend and John Lanning as the false lover make up a cast that is strong in every line and does fine work throughout.
 Tn lighter vein ere Claire Maynard. the dainty singer, in 8 turn that calls for three costume changes and wins applause for her sweet singing. Billy Tower, blackface singer and dancer, is also good, especially in handling his feet and the pictures round out the shdAw in pleasing form.

A strnnn. GnInnid.nn.

It was a strange coincidence that a Fart of the money left by Russell Sage has been used to investigate circum- stances and sources of the fortune Carnegie is now enjoying. And 1t takes three volumes to hold the report of the survey of Darkest Pittsb1rg. Think of 20oo hospital accident cases in one year, many of which were crip- pied for life, and 500 men killed in- stantly the same year. Over so per cent of the families received not g dollar compensation. It is not strange that Carnegie openly says 1t would be a disgrace for him to die other than poor. But he has made little heedway toward avoiding it.-Boston Record
