BREED THEATER.
The Game, Story of chieago's Wall
 Street.

very powerful story of that seeth- ing commercial matelstrom, the Chi cago board of trade, is on exhibition today at the Breed theater, under the title of The Game, and while an un- interesting title. it Is on the contrary one of the liveliest film subjects imag- inable.
 The story deals with an effort on the part of the junior member of a brok- craze firm to pull off a big deal. in- volving millions, and the opposition of the senior member. The senior mem Der goes so far as to enter the office at night, and in attempting to remove valuable securities from the inner safe, finds he has left his key at home, and pries open the safe with his penknife, and carelessly drops the knife. Having secured the valuable collateral he starts for home, knowing that the deal cannot be consummated without the securities. His son on the following morning is the first one to enter the office, and finding the papers missing, also discovers his fathers knife with his initials upon it. He attempts to acknowledge the theft, but is forced to show the knife he found, and the de- tectives are put upon the track of the aged father. The remainder of the pie ture is fully as exciting as the first part, and it is one great series of thrill ing situations ending with one of the pretttest romantic climaxes ever talk en. Miss Wolcott will appear in programme of new songs htoday.

The Auditorium.

A thoroughly pleased audience packed the popular Auditorium to the doors on Wednesday night and they were not the least bit backward in showing their appreciation of the good things the management had provided for their entertainment. Guy Bartlett created a furore with his intensely funny parodies, singing encore after encore. The mysterious figure has the whole town guessing. Hern and Rut- ter put over the best line of soft and hard shoe dancing seen here in a long time. Mile. Lucille Omega, a most graceful and finished performer on the wire created much admiration for dexterity and agility. A pair of old favorites are Claude and Marion Cleveland, who win new friends and popularity at each performance Miss Morelle has a catchy little song for Thursday, entitled How to Win a Girl.

New Tuberculosis Cure
 Based on Medicine

Did it ever occur to you that the reason medical doctors have soy little success in curing Tuberculosis is be- cause they really do not practice medi- cine?
 To say that a specific exists for the cure of Consumption is perhaps too strong a statement, but in Eckmans Alterative we have a medicine that has been the means of saying many a life to years of usefulness and in perma- nently curing large number of Con- sumptives.
 Telling every sufferer to gorge him self with eggs and milk is apparently the limit of modern treatment. Ger tainly person afflicted with a vast ing disease should be well fed with wholesome nourishing food; but ire quently raw eggs in quantities cause a digestive breakdown. and then no food nourishes. As for milk. a very good food for many; but a producer of biliousness for some.
 Any diet that keeps "a Consumptive well neurished is the right one, but what is going to cure the patient? curing many a case of Consumption Let those speak who know. Here is specimen:

 Enthusiastic.

No wonder scores of Norwich citi- pens grow enthusiastic. It is enough 10 make anyone happy to find relief after years of suffering. Public state ments like the following are but truth ful representations of the daily work fone in Norwich by Doan's Kidney Fills.
 Miss Amy M. Wilcox, sS Mckinley Avenue, Norwich, Conn, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are entitled to my 1trongest recommendation. Of and Un for some time I was annoyed to uuite an extent by a dull, heavy ache lcross my loins and kidneys.

BROADWAY THEATER.
sousa's Brilliant vioIinist.

Has American finally developed a native artiste without the usual for eign finish? In Miss Florence Harde- man, the violin soloist of the present concert tour of the Sousa band, may be seen the living model of American artistry. Her gifts became noticeable when a child and adequate means were immediately taken for careful and profound course of training. She won the scholarship in violin at the College of Music in Cincinnati and graduated from that institution winning the Springer gold medal with great dis tinction," an honor conferred upon but few. Miss Hardeman is extremely modest in bearing, but she plays Ike a veteran artist. Her performances are a notable feature of the Sousa concerts. and she will be heard in this city this evening at the Broadway the- ater. when Sousa's band appears for one concert.

pefaIeations in New Haven.

Evidence is not lacking that it seems to those outside that New Haven has more than its seemly share of bank defalcations. There are those here who have gained that impression also. Moreover, one Is regretfully impelled Go the conclusion that their number does not decrease. Why? Perhaps some hint of the answer may be found 1n this substance of conversation which was overheard recently between two small boys in a New Haven street ear. If isn't a fictitious conversation; the Register vouches for its actual happening.
 "Dfd you hear" said one boy, that this fellow that stole over $50,000 from his bank got off with only five years in prison?p asked the first. "Is that etraight?" returned the other. Let's see. With the time he'll get off for good behavior, that'll leave him about three years and eight months. That's over $14,000 he's got to show for every year he had in prison, the state pays his board and he doesn't have to over work. That ain't so bad deal Gee, I wish could get next to bank."- New Haven Register.

 Sudden Death of Raymond Bell-
 Mission Circle Meets.
 The upper bridge at Hopeville, which spans the Pachaug river, collapsed and fell partly into the stream Wednesday forenoon. The bridge is one of the oldest in the town of Griswold, and is built in two sections from the central pier to either abutment The original bridge was built in 1S43 by three Gris- wold men. Captain Cook, Jason La throp and Nathaniel Three years ago the stone work 6was repair ed by Fogarty Brothers, and now with in a month it has been necessary to raise it five feet oR account of the fiowage caused by the building of the new dam by the Ashland Cotton com pany for their electric power station. The west end abutnlent caved out at the bottom. the cause probably being that the original stone foundation would not stand the additional weight of the five feet of new stone. William Bitgood had just gone over the bridge with pair of horses and a heavy team loaded with household goods. All highway traffic from Hopeville to Pa chaug now must come around by Nor mans bridge or go by the road that passes c. c. Palmer's, crossing the Pachaug river at the Cross bridge.
