BREED THEATER.
Thou Shalt Not, Beautiful Scenic Bio
 graph Story.

A new theme for motion picture is presented in the exquisitely handled subject of the Biograph at the Breed this week and entitled Thou Shalt Not.
 The story is enacted as are many of the others of this enjerprising com pany. as Los Angeles, Cal, and mid the generous contributions of Flora the many interesting scenes take place The novel theme tells of a, young man who becomes engaged to a girl of his choice, and, neglecting a persistent cough, finds himself in an advanced stage of the white plague. His physi- elan forbids him marrying and he tells his promised bride Of his condition, and she refuses to sever the engage nent- The physician takes the case in hand and secures an actress to portray the role of the stother woman,'' and the faithful bride elect, finding the actress ardently embracing her lover, de- nounces him at once, not realizing that she at the same time seals the doom of her happiness and is the victim of a deception
 The picture offers a great lesson and while a most delicate subject it is handled fn such way as to please all who witness it. Miss Seibert sings by request the popular song hit of the day I'm Longing for Tomorrow, also sing ing the pretty child song, I'm Not Mad at YofI.

PICTURE OF T. S. GOLD.
State Board of Agriculture Asks for
 Popular Subscription.

The state board of agriculture, through it's secretary, I. C. F'anton. of Westport, is taking up~the work of procuring an oil portrait of it's for mer secretary, the late F. s. Gold, to be placed in the state capitol in the room assigned to the committee on agriculture. The portrait was paint ed by J. H. Niemeyer of New Haven from life and will cost $500. In the belief that there are 300 people in the state who will be glad to give $1 each the plan is to ask for subscriptions of $1 to be sent to I. c. Fanton, secretary Of the board Westport, who will re- turn receipt for the money and in ad- dition a photograph or print of the portrait. The name of each subscriber will be recorded and all names sent suitably embossed, to the family of MT. Gold.
 Mir. Gold was active in behalf of the foundation of the agriculture school at Storrs in 1877 and was for 20 years trustee of the school and col Iege-
 His greatest work was the manage ment of the state board of agriculture for thirty-four years. When there were no granges no farmers institutes, no field meetings to bring farmers to- gether, he made the winter meetings of the board the great ralfying place for all intelligent farmers. 2

AN OLD PLATTER
Mrs. Higgins of Wall Avenue Has
 One From Which Napoleon Ate.

In the home of Mrs. William Hig- gins at Wall avenue is an old platter which has perhaps 6 more interest ting history than any other platter owned by an American It is of heavy earth en-wAre sixteen inches long by twelve Inches wide, Ofd-faShioned with a mar VOW blue border. It is cracked. too. al- most it's entire length, and the dish is kles. speaking plainly of age and usage. Yet from this old platter one of the worlds greatest generals was served. says The Waterbury Sunday Republican
 The dish was brought from the island of St. Helena by James Egan, an officer in the British army, who was for a time one of Napofeon's body guard Mr. Egan was an uncle of Mrs. Higgins, who tells this story.
 My uncle was wounded at the bat tie of WaterIoo-let me see what year was that? 1S15 or 1s16 I think Any way, you can look it up. He was wounded in the knee and for a consid- erable time was incapacitated for ac- five field service. so he was assigned 70 service at St Helena as senior off, eer of Napoleon's body guard. Many of the guard were in sympathy with Ma poleen and a conspiracy to assist him to escape in a hogshead was at one time nearly consurnnnated.
 NO. there is nothing about it in the text books. but it was true. For a time
 
 at the island Provisions were brought to the place some times in hogsheads. and it was planned to hide Napoleon in one of these empty 4logsa1eads and in the confusion of loading it was hoped that he might not be discovered. My uncle knew of the plan and arran ged to be on duty 5aa another part of the island
 s-rhe oTfy result of the plan. how ever, was to eurtail the liberty of the exile. He was dfstoNsred by the in spectoxs and after fsat no foreign boat was allowed to port at St. Helena. Eff fort vas made to keep the incident from becc1ning known, and it was not until shortly hsfore his death that my uncle would fS1i the story
 My uncle rezna4ned at the island until be wqG Discharged from the army stzsd when hr cape away, after several years service with the little general whom he had grown to love, he brought wftH him . number of relics and sou tenirs. He gave my mother, his sis tez. this old platter and a cup. The RW Esnt to say-sistex and the Ela tier

DRESDEN POLICE.
They Are Permitted to impose Small
Fines on Offenders.

Fines on Offenders.
One advantage accrues to the re-
spectacle member of the community
from the minuteness with which the
Dresden police look into the affairs of
every inhabilant of the city. If be is
careful man and always carries papers
which may serve TO establish his iden-
tity he is practically immune from the
indignity of being arrested aud march
ed Off to the police station unless. in
deed. he commits some especially hei-
nous crime. Does he drive faster than
the law permits. does be cross a bridge
on the left hand side. he is stopped by
the guardian of law and order and re-
quested 10 give his name Ii he has
his papers with him the policeman
may then and there impose a fine of
from 10 3 marks. If then he admits
that he is in the wrong and pays the
fine the incident is closed. II. how
ever. be wishes to appeal from the po-
liceman's decision he may do so. Even
in that case he is not arrested. but
day or two later he is notified to APP
pear in court and answer to the charge
against him. But then If he is found
guilty the lowest fine that can be i'm
posed is marks. That this custom of
permitting the policeman personally to
impose small fines is little understood
by foreigners is shown by remark
made by gentleman who had lived in
Germany the greater part of his life
and in Dresden for a number of years
In reply TO any inquiry as to whether
there was ever any question of corrup-
ton in the police department be re-
piled:
mo; none whatever as far as the
higher officers are concerned. The in
dividual men. however. may be brbed |
occasionally. For instance. if | were !
to walk on the grass in the Grosser-
garten and policeman caught me AT |
it | would give him a mark or two. |
and that would end the matter"
