ON A mUDEhN WARSHIP.
The Feelings of a Commander as De
 seribed by Himself.

The Feelings of a Commander as De.
 seribed by Himself.
 How the commander of a modern big American battleship can feel is dis closed in the following, taken from 6 letter written by such an officer:
 '"There are more than 900 men or this ship, and on the theory that ar official of the government is a servant of the people I am the servant of these 900 men and am bound to see that they are kept in food and clothing and baseball bats and abundantly supplied with occupation. Perhaps I should feel more Independent if I didn't have to listen respectfully to the orderly every time he comes in and makes one of his infinitely numerous reports and put men in jail when don't want to.
 Some of these 900 men look more dignifed and independent than feel I wonder whether I look dignifed and independent. I suppose I ought to dc so, for to swing a steel mass 504 feet long successfully around like monsters and to make 15,OOO tons writhe around the corners of narrow channels is something of an art, after all, and one not possessed by many of the inhabit ants of the globe.
 with all that swinging of steer monsters around there go the responsf bility and the knowledge that if the ship runs aground the whole civilized world will be acquainted with it in side of twenty-four hours"

Tn. Lady Was Not .h. che.t.

An Irish family once had a ghost SO troublesome that they sent for detec- lives. One of these men late at night fell asleep in his chair. The lady of the house chanced to come into the room and could not resist the tempta- ton to groan and rattle her keys. She had never played ghost before. 1t was momentary indiscretion. But the po- liceman did not and could hardly be expected to believe this. He said ie was hardly worth while to bring him from Dublin, and he withdrew in dudg- con. Yet the lady was not really the ghost. He was sulking in retirement: hence doubt has been cast on the ghosts of haunted houses even among re1ecting minds.-London News.

The Ones That Buzzed About the
 Young Soldiers Ears.

The Ones That Buzzed About ths
 Young Soldiers Ears.
 A great general was taking his regi ment into action. He sent forward a detail of men to make gaps in 8 rail fence to avoid the heavy loss sure to result if the whole body of men paused to tear it down.
 The coolest and finest man in the de tail was young soldier who had never been under fire before. When he began pulling down the fence he fancied he had disturbed a nest of hornets, as he thought he heard them singing hercely about his ears. But the lad was not going to run from hornets when there was more serious business ahead.
 Ignoring the angry insects, he open. ed the fence and rejoined the regiment without being stung
 In day or two he was surprised to hear that he was to be promoted.
 But" he said modestly, '1 don't think deserve promotion over the oth- ers''
 "My boy" replied the general, q saw you pull down that fence. You were the coolest man under fire I ever sawv'
 The man gasped, stared and turned pale.
 "Whatw he exclaimed, regardless ot grammar. "Was them wasps bullets? ?"

"IHE RIVALS" WELL
 DONE BY TALENTED
 HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS

Sheridan's ''The Rivals. as present. ed last evening at Warner hall by the Senior class of the Bridgeport High School under the direction of Miss Grace D. Clarke. was well received by an appreciative audience which pack ed the little play house. For the past few seasons the Senior class at the High School has presented an annual play. which has been received with open arms. but it can truly be said that the efforts of last evening call foI a greater commendation than has ever been bestowed. At the final curtain the players were called before the foot lights to respond to the plaudits of the audience. who did not forget Miss Clarke, through whose efforts the play was so successfully carried out.
 The leading parts were in fine hands Miss Mabel Poland as Mrs. MalaproI especially excelling. Her rendition oi tha- loquacious and garrulous person age, with her ever twisting of expan- sive synonyms denoted careful study.
 Harry L. Irwin, as Captain Absolute and who masqueraded under the sou- briquet Beverly, had the sly wit and the daShing spirit of the young army officer The piece brought him in ac- tion most of the time. The love scene between himself and Lydia Languish INutn MdcDi1ue. was Specldlly anus ing.
 To Miss Ruth MacBride was allotted the taking of the part of Lydia Lan- guish. who. under the care of her aunt Mrs. Malaprop, must submit to her di- rections in the choice of her lover Her's was a difficult role to interpret accurately. but Miss MacBride was equal to the occasion. doing all that could be expected of her.
 Howard l.. Stone made a big hit as Sir Anthony Absolute. the father of sly young Captain Absolute. The way he worked himself into frenzy in the second act when his son rejects his proposal to marry the woman of his choosing. took the audience by storm.
 All the other members of the cast were equally entertaining, especially Miss Margaret Linehan as Lucy the maid. John G. O'Connell as Acres save a very good impression of his role, as did also Bert c. Pasuth as Faulkland and Daniel T. ONeil as David, the man servant of Acres. His mastery of the dialect of this charac- ter required much labor and persist ency The work of John J. McFar- land. Jr., as Sir Lucius o. Trigger was excellent.
 The costumes could not be improved upon. while the stage settings though simple were works of art. Especial mention must be given Miss Bessie Munro for the effectual manner in which she acted as stage director. and chief curtain manipulatoress. Bob Lee handled the hammer and nails with effectiveness. The play was present ed again this afternoon The full cast follows:

invests by degrees his entire fortune in a big "bull''y speculation. Then Brachard, bound to destroy his enemy even if he ruins himself, plans to break tine market without warning and bring about a disastrous slump
 He invited Jerome to a midday luncheon. Jerome is droWsy and dis tra ught after a late supper the night before with Brachard's wife. Brach- ard is alert and eager, about to enjoy an astounding vengeance. He plays with Jerome as cat plays with a mouse. But as the. newsboys are heard crying extras about the panic in copper, Brachard stops short his pretense of good nature, pours forth denunciations about his wife's be- trayer, and revels with savage glee upon the wrecking of Jerome's for tune with his own.
 After this very powerful scene in the third act the agitated husband is led back, through the fourth act, to his first real understanding with his wife. At least she, realizing the ex- tent of the sacrifice he had made for her, comes faithfully to support him in his sorrow.
 MT. HackettS superior company comprises Miss Marie Wainwright long a star herself in Shakesperean and other important productions. The
 ading man is Frederic de Belleville, the Belgian actor, who placed himself on the level of Miss Wainwright through his success es leading man for Clara Morris, Rose Coughlin and Mrs. F'iSke.

PATRICK DISBARRED
Court Rejects Lawyers Plea that He Was Illegal ly Convicted of Rice $ Murder.

New York. Jan 29-Albert T.. Pat rick, who was sentenced for life to Sing Sing Prison for the murder of William Marsh Rice has been dlsbar- red and his name ordered stricken from the roll of attorneys by the Ap- pellate Division of the Supreme Court. This is a serious blow to Patrick in his long fight for freedom, as 1t will deprive him of many privileges In pre- pairing his appeals. He must be repre- scented hereafter by an attorney.
 In opposing the motion to disbar him Patrick contended that he had not been legally convicted, and new inter est in his case was aroused by the re- port that a brother of Patrick had dis covered the whereabouts of Rice's val ct. Jones. on whose testimony Patrick was convicted.
 Linar Chrystie, counsel for the Bar Association, brought the proceedings under the law which provides for dis barment whenever an attorney haS been convicted of a felony.
 Patrick appeared for himself, though he was not in court. William l.. Mc- Donald argued the case as associate counsel.
 The court held that Patrick's con- tentions were not relevant, as the law was mandatory and that when cer- tffied copy of the conviction was pre- sented to the court it was required to order his name stricken from the roll of attorny.
 Patrick also alleged that the court that convicted him, Justice Golf, the District Attorney, and others were in a conspiracy to deprive him of his lib- erty and rights under the Constitu- ton of the United States.

Greenwich, Jan. 29.-F. w. Lincoln, a prominent New York business man, whose estate here lies close to that or Ernest Thompson Seton, has just re- ceiyed a pet which will rival in curios- ity any of those possessed by his na- turalist neighbor.

 The newcomer is yellowish brown in color and stands no higher than a col lie dog. It will never grow any larger. It is perfectly tame and will eat from the hand At present it is kept in a small inclosure with several rabbits with which 1t has already made friends. It trots about after MT.

Civil Service In EnoI.nd and Ar.,

The difference between the civil service examination in England and in America is important and to the advantage of the English. In the United States the object is almost en- tirely to discover the immediate It, ness of the candidates for the work they are expected to do. In England the object in most cases is to measure what their ability to do the work will be after they have learned it.-From '"The Government of England" by A. Lawrence Lowell.
