AT THE AUDITORIUM. Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.

Three new acts for the midweek change at the Auditorium were fa- yorably received by big houses Thurs day. indicating a good bill of vaude- Vile for the balance of the week. El- via Bates and company in her anus ing little playIet, Pickle Fortune, stays for the rest of the week and never fails to win well deserved applause.
 La Count, the man who eats fire. is the big feature of the new acts and certainly does some marvellous dallying with the flames. La Count seems to have an asbestos tongue and lining to his mouth and lips, for he gobbles in flaming sealing wax and gasoline ropes, pours melted lead on his tongue and ends up by biting off a carbon at white heat.
 Whitney & Young a blackface team. are among the clever ones that have been seen at the Auditorium and are heard in some pretty song numbers with lively dance effects.
 Carl Randall the American Laddie Cliff, is young performer, but a good one, and gets a good hand for his original speciality and dancing turn. There is entertaining selection of moving pictures.

Brown and the e.ptists,

Judging by the decision of the Bos- ton Baptist ministers weekly confer ence," sass the Boston Herald. "the local Baptist constituency does not look with favor upon any modification of the control of Brown university by Baptists." 1t is a question whether the ministers represent the 'sconstitu- ency'' in this respect At any rate, they are out of tune with the six emil nent Baptists including Governor Hughes, Rev. pr. Horr and President Faunce. who as members of the cor poration committee on charter amend me1t issued last summer a powerful piea for the removal of all sectarian restrictions at Brown. Tn some quar- ters an active propaganda has lately sprung up against the amendment of the charter on the ground that the col lege should not be forced to yield it's old freedom at MT. carnegie's oehest;
 but those who are responsible for this propa ga .da should realize that the movement for the broadening of the charter will go on, pension fund or no pension fund-the question involved is not q mere matter of dollars and cents. Incidentally 1t may be remarked that if Brown does not put itself in line for the Carnegie fund pretty soon 1t may be barred by the exhaustion of the money in other channels. Will these Baptist rer1onstrants fin Boston then provide the college with a pension fund.- It is certain that someone wtll have to do so if the present faculty IS to remain intAct.-Providence Journal.

A Menace to Hoboes.

The new law that outlaws bonires is having one effect that was proba hIy not anticipated. It gives one more grip on the hobo who has been in the habit of camping and kindling fires wherever he wished. If such fire spreads or is in dangerous place it is not tramp nature to care An e..- ample was made in Bristol a day or two ago, and is undoubtedly the first case of its kind in the state This tramp had made a fire in the leaves and brush without taking any precau- tions. Luckily, the fire warden and Chief Belden passed that way and promptly took him into court where he received a jail sentence. As hoboes are now subject to charge Of start ing fires without permit as well as to vagrancy, it would seem that they might regard Connecticut as undesi~a- ble territory, and relieve us of their presence.-Bristol Press

Hartford Republican by 1,fO0.

Those philosophers through the state who assume that the defeat of Mayor Hooker means that Hartford has gone democratic are far away from the facts. Let them study the returns. They will see that the democratic can didate for mayor defeated the repubIi- can candidate by 357, but. following down the ticket, they will discover that the republican plurality all along the line was something better than 1000 votes. Here are the instructive com parisons:
 For collector. rep. plurality. ..... 1,2ss For controller, rep. plurality. 1,005 For marshal, rep plurality. ... 1,190 For clerk, rep. plurality -....-... 1,429 For registrar, rep. plurality. ..... LILO
 The registrar is presumably the best test, for each ticket has on it one can- didate for that office, and there is no contest. The man who swings the lever for his party votes for it's regis trar and has no call to cut. The regis trar vote is practically the straight party vote. This would indicate a republican plurality of about HOO on an off year. The estimates of the guessers were not much astray; the trouble was that MT. Hooker was caught between the virtuous and the wicked, and both gave it to hisn-one set for objecting to the situation for which he was not responsible and the
