BLANKET ATTACHMENT
Slapped on Broken Idol" Company on Thursday Evening by Members Who Claim Salaries.

A scene that was not billed in ad- vance was pulled off in connection with the musical comedy. 'The Broken Idol, Thursday evening at the Loomer Op- era house. A sort of blanket attach ment covering the advance sale box office receipts, scenery and all the prop critics of this production was slapped upon it, amounting to $450, by Consta- ble w. J. Hastings. The papers were issued through the office of Attorney George D. Hinmon, upon advices of Harry H. Adams, secretary to Manager Ralph Harlan, and Mrs. J. F. Shepard, Louise Shepard and Mertie Beaumont, three members of the cast, who claim ed that amount to be due them for ser vices. The women assigned their claims to MT. Adams and he had the trick turned.
 Carl Porter, until recently connected with the show, came on from Boston Thursday morning and got next to House Manager J. H. Gray, alleging that he and three ladies-Gertrude Rutland, Lottie Lee and Teresa Fletch- er-also late members of the company, had claims against the company for wages. Their combined claims are $105. Mir. Porter did not attempt an attach ment here, but tried to at Plainheld, N J., where he and the three ladies closed with the show Dec. IS. Frank Gallup of this city was appointed keeper un- der the terms of the attachment, the writ being returnabIe in this city Feb. F, 1910. It is said that orders have been given to have the attachment re- leased as the company boards the train for it's next jump today.

KORAN NIGHT
Great Reception for Local Man Ap-
 bearing in "The Broken Idol"


 i The Loomer, opera house was the mecca for what seemed to be great portion of the population of the city and surrounding towns Thursday even ing to do honor to William E. Foran, who played the leading role of Dr. .Whatt in that delightfully."- pleasing mu- sical comedy. "A Broken Idol.''
 At no time this season has the house been graced with such an enthusiastic and appreciative audience. The s. R. O. sign was hung out early in the even- ing. The entire show is deserving of much favorable comment, but it was due chiefly to the presence of Billy" that the large audience went wild with delight time and time and again.
 At the conclusion of the first act Mayor Daniel P Dunn, in behalf of San Jose council. No. IA, K. of C., presented Mir. Foran with an elegant watch fob and K. of c. charm on the stage in one of his characteristic and stirring speeches. MT. Foran respond ed in a most gracious manner and then everyone applauded again.
 Immediately after the performance the male members of the cast. with MT. Foran, adjourned to the Montgom cry Hose company, No 9, on Jackson him by Knights of Columbus friends, members of Montgomery Hose com parry and other friends. A bountiful Tepast was served in the banquet hall and the parlors and game rooms of the popular fire company were awak- ened with the rendition of an excellent but informal programme of instru- mental and vocal music and speech making. It was most assuredly "Foran night in the Thread City Thursday evening and whenever the popular local actor is booked to appear on the stage any where near here he is assured of the presence of staunch representation of his many friends in Willimantic.

Know Their Business.

It is observed that Secretary Knox's indictment of the Nicaraguan presi- dent, and Mir. Taft's endorsement of the same, stirs but little excitement among the press or people of this country. and there seems equally slight disposition either to criticise or commend the administration at Wash ington for it's course in the matter. Two reasons suggest themselves for this: First. the general confidence in the judgment of the president and his advisers, who are assumed to know what they are about. and to have good reasons for what they do or leave undone in this matter; secondly, the rampageous talk of Sulzer in the house and Rayner in the senate, be- ing obviously premature and indis- erect, has apparently produced an ef- feet on public opinion the reverse of what those fiery orators intended.--- Stamford Advocate

DOLLS WITH INDIVIDUALITY.
Craze in Germany Started by the
 Idea of Woman Artist.

The fashion plate doll is doomed, say the toy makers. So far they haven't convinced the toy dealers, and the Christmas windows will show plenty of large and expensively dress ed dolls with snug round faces, black and blue eyes and rosy cheeks. But next year-here again speaks the toy manufacturer-the dolls with the dough faces will not stand even sec- ond to the new kind coming out in Germany. Some of these dolls are on the American. market this year, but not very many.
 The new doll, the invention of a Munich woman. Marion Kaulitz. is known as the character doI, and 1t is having tremendous vogue in Ger many. Instead of a doll with a blank, Hfeless face. begowned and beribboned. her dolls have individuality and they are dressed just as the children who play with them are dressed every day.
 Children who are guided by good, healthy instinct" says the inventor, turn away from the unnatural dolls dressed out of all reason. This is seen in the oft-noted fact that many a little girl will leave her fine new
 doll to caress and play with her old, everyday one, begrimed instead of be-
 gowned. A child is always shy when
 the visitors well dressed little girl Is ushered in upon her. and she never plays in real earnest with her until they meet in equal terms in the sand pile"
 So FrauIein Kaulitz who is an ar
 tist. has enlisted the services of other
 artists, and the new doll is being turn ed out by the hundreds. One of the
 first to purchase a doll was the em-
 press who wanted little boy dressed in gaudy stripes and with a real wholesome looking German face on him for the youngest son of the crown prince. Since then the new doll craze has been sweeping the empire.
 The toy men say that this opens up an entirely new world of doll pos sibilities. Some efforts have been made to introduce in the worlds markets Japanese and Chinese dolls, but these never ranked higher than curios that no child of any other nation wanted. Fraulein Kaulitz was a portrait painter when the idea came to her. All the portraits she paints now are on the little papier mache heads she buys from a sculptor of Munich, who l models them with his own hands. On
 these she deftly picks out with the speed of the crayon artist at a Chau- 1 tauqua gathering, the eyes, eyebrows
 mouth. etc. giving to each a different complexion, some white. some rosy l some sunburnt.
 The bodies are of leather and flex- fble. This permits them to be placed in any position. Effective groupings
 of these dolls in German shop win
 dows are just now delighting crowds in the Christmas toy markets. Some of the German wits refer to 1t as the return of the doll to the simple life One reason why the new doll hasn't been heartily received in the United
 States Is that all those sent over are enthusiastically and typically Ger
 man in face, figure and gowns and that isn't the kind of doll the Ameri- ! can child wants. Next year the Ger man makers propose to have Ameri- 1 can models for this market and to sell 1 thousands of them.-New York Sun.

The Divorce Mill.

" The divorce court is busy these days and tales of misery, abuse and scan dal are being related everywhere It is among the society people, however. that the most scandalous stories are told. The Gould case with all it's un- savoriness had hardly dropped out of the public mind when the Brokaw case came up and is now on trial. The tes- timony of the wife and the insinuations of her husbands counsel clearly reveal the happenings of the Brokaw home. This'is now the only case among the wealthy and they all tell pretty much the same story. Money in the hands of some men and women is a curse in- stead of blessing.-New Britain Her aid.
