"HEIR TO THE H0ORAn"
Excellent Bill for Closing Week of
 POIi Stock.

Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone A wise old saying which may be proven by visit to Poli's this week to wit ness the performances of 'The Heir to the Hoorah.'' This will be the last of the series of delightful plays given should fail to see it and laugh with the world. The story, in brief is as follows: Joe Lacy, a wealthy, but uncouth miner, marries an eastern girl whose moth CTS one desire is gold. She forces the girl into the marriage and then doesn't hesitate to poison her mind against a true, loving husband. Joe, anxious to become like his wife in
 manners, does his utmost to conform to the customs of society. His moth er-fn-law constantly reminds his wife of his shortcomings and the result is a temporary separation.
 Nearly a year later, Lacey returns and is given a dinner by his miner friends. During the n1erry-n1aking, he is informed that he is a father. He hurries Immediately to his home and there great plans are made for his son and heir.
 At the christening festivities his friends present the baby with a mann moth cradle hewn from the trunk of a huge tree. After the departure of the guests Joe's wife appears, to make peace with her husband who has not forgotten her cruel words prior to his departure for Europe months before. At the critical moment the mother-in- law appears and attempts to take her daughter out of the room, but Mrs. Lacey who has gradually fallen in love with her own husband, proc1aims it to her mother who is banished to her home in the east and Joe and his wife Tive happily ever afterward."
 The part of Joe Lacey was most ably taken by MT. Frank Gardiner. He is at ease in any role, but the one of the injured husband seemed especially adapted to his charming personality. Although new to the company, he has made an impression which will last.
 Miss Montgomery, as his wife, did excellent work, especially when she hunbly admitted that she had done her husband the injustice of follow ing her mothers cruel advice.
 Miss Clara Vincent as Mrs. Kate Brandon deserves much credit for the admirable work done by her. She also Miss May Desmond who took the part of a maiden aunt, aged nineteen.
 MT. Perry's work meets with the heartiest approval. The public recog- ByTnes as Bud Young kept the au- dience in paroxisms of laughter. The appearance of Harry Sedley and Ches- ter Law invariably caused laughter and hearty applause. They are fine entertainers.
 MT. George Farren as Joe's brother Dave played his part perfectly. His popularity as an actor increases with every performance and well it should
 Miss Bick as the mother-in-law can be described with one word-perfect.
 The entire company is most excel lent and the regret of the public is that this is the last opportunity to see them. We trust that in next names of all these popular actors and actresses. tas

N
 The red men of the west have many curious legends concerning the rivers, lakes and mountains of that region, none more weird than that which is told concerning Rock lake, Washing ton. Since time out of memory the Indian tribts of that vicinity believed the lake to be inhabited by sea mon ster which never grows old and whose chief diet is Indian flesh. According to the legend, no Indian ever entered its waters and returned therefrom alive, no matter whether the rash act was committed by approaching it's mar gin for drink, for a plunge and a swim or for a canoe ride upon it's placid bosom. All of the Indians of the northwest know of the terrors of Rock lake, and each and every one would prefer death with a poisoned ar row rather than to touch its waters. The last Rock lake horror, according to the legend, was in 1858, when 8 whole band of noble red men were sent to the happy hunting grounds by the monster.

They Tell a p,nerent story.

There are peculiarities of our Eng fish language which no other language exhibits. Did you ever notice how many English words are formed by simply dropping alternate Ietters-for example, wheat, heat, eat, at; sham, ham, am; wheel, heel, eel; whale, hale, ale, and scores of others?
 Again, we have in our mother tongue two words which, joined together, make distinct word of an entirely different meaning, just as a single word disjointed does. Take the words "since'' and "fely'' or the separate word sincerely" To illustrate: Your letter came. in words that tempt me
 dearly.
 You wrote them. sweet most truly and
 sincerely.
 For praise like that heroes might gladly
 die,
 But on another's love you since rely.

The Gate. of Paradise.

When the plague which visited Flor ence in the year 14OO had subsided the people decided as a thank offering to add bronze gates to the baptistery of the Church of St. John the Baptist, and the guild of merchants invited the best artists of the day to compete. The design of Ghiberti was considered faultless, and he was intrusted with the work on Nov. g, 14o3. 1t was twenty-one years before the two fold ing doors were completed, and so ex- quisite was their design and workman ship that Michael Angelo a century lat CT said of them, 'aThey are worthy to be the gates of paradise" This ap- piled also to another door wrought and designed by the same artist, which was put in place June 16, 1452. most important creation of Florentine art and one which evidently influenced Mi chael Angelo himself. !.

 Must Take Back What It Said.
OR HE WILL, SUE FOB LIBEL

Waterbury. Aug. 31.-Senator John Hurley, who claims he has been slan- dered by the Bristol Press, has an nounced that unless the statements de rogatory to his character as a legisla' tor are publicly retracted by that Journal he will bring suit for libel al once through his counsel. Attorney Edward B. Kelley, Jr.. of this city Tho statements to which the Senator objects appeared in the Press of Thurs day last and among remarks on vari- ous members prominent in the recent session of the Legislature stated that "Senetor Hurley. Democrat, of Wa terbury, proved himself a crude, dull political traitor. a disgrace to his party.
 When seen Senator Hurley said: s'I certainly shall bring suit against the late retraction of such islander is made. They have absolutely no evidence or right of any kind to make such a statement concerning my character. IT, to represent me in the matter. MT. Kelley notified the Press today Of my intentions and we will await a retractdon. MT Kelley is my only
 Senator. Hurley said be had not re- tained Judge William J. Malone Of Brfstol as counsel. On Saturday night Senator Hurley said he called up Judge Malone In his Bristol office and asked him some questions concerning the standing of the Press and the reason for making such a statement concern ing him. Judge Malone said he had also had trouble with the Press.
 The article which has provoked Sem ator Hurley was an editorial reference to his record as weu as the records of other Representatives and Senators in the recent session of the General As sembly. It contained the following
 AThe Senate has been the chief sim ner, and cannot escape though the Houee must bear a share of the caus- tic criticism The Senate was under Suspicion from the first. and events proved the suspicion justified One Of the few men who came through with reputation advanced is Senator Alsop of this district He deserves Credit for manly consistency, thorough honesty and devotion to the cause of the people. Senator Hurley, Demo- cra.t. of Waterbury. proved himself a crude, dull, political traitor, a disgrace opposition party made up of such men. They as strongly support the corpora ton interests as the professional lobby ists himself solid with the graft element and handed out money with a freedom that would never happen were the money his own. He thought he could afford to be generous at the expense Of the taxpayers of the State. They are likely to remember him. And there are others"
 The manager and principal owner of the Press is Arthur Seth Barnes, pres ident of the Connecticut Editorial As socdation. In regard to Senator Hur- 1ey,s suit MT. Barnes made the follow fnG statement last evening: '"The edi- torfal in question was written primar- i1yras protest against the granting O. gratuities.

The man who gets angry
about what a newspaper says of

find things to keep out.
All of which is very true, re-
marks an exchange, 1t is gen
orally supposed that newspapers
print Everything they can find
that is anywhere near fit to

ing many things that might pass
as news because it might reflect
on the character or reputation of
some individual and on his fam,
