MAYOR RICE DOES NOT LIKE INCINERATOR FOR
 REDUCING GARBAGE

New Haven. July S.-Mayor Rice states that he can not tell what the outcome of the discussion of the mat ter of a garbage incinerator for New Haven will be. He has an appointment to meet the ladies of the Consumers league today, and they will appear in advocacy of an incinerator.
 He said that the aldermanic com mittee report, which virtually favors a continuation of the "hog fattening" system, might not come before him for some time, and that he was not convinced that present day incinera- tor, such as is desired by the ladies would be a good thing. Thus far he had not seen his way clear to recom- mending the bonding of the city for $200,000 or more for the erection of an incinerating plant which might not be found satisfactory in the end. He was in Bridgeport last week and in talking with the mayor there upon the matter, he asked him what had be- come of Bridgeport's plant and was informed by him that it had been taken out. When Mayor Rice ask ed him what was now being done with Bridgeport's garbage, he was told that it was being buried.
 He will make a close investigation into the matter after it has come to him from the board of aldermen.

THE THEATRES
POLI'S

It has been said that there is always some one to be found when required in an emergency whether it be to stop a runaway horse or save a republic, and a striking example of this was illustrated at Polls yesterday after noon and evening. Little Margaret Lawrence the popular ingenue Of the Poli players was stricken with appen- dicitis at the night performance We'd nesday night but Dr. Sprague who called to attend her believed it to be a slight attack and intimated that if favorable symptoms developed she might be able to appear again this week Stage Director Eagle however decided to be prepared and the mo- ment Miss Lawrence was taken Ill on the stage he sent Marie Clifford the utility woman of the company to the front of the house to watch the per- formance of Paid in Full that she might be ready to step into Miss Lawrence role if required. Miss Cliff ford watched the play, studied the part, rehearsed but once and gave letter perfect rendition of the role and a most artistic one too at both performances yesterday afternoon and evening winning the merited applause of the audience the eternal gratitude other to her long list of roles. In- cidentally Miss Clifford is gifted with the most remarkable memory and abil- ity to4earn parts quickly of any wom- an who has ever played in stock here.
 Paid in Full is playing to the fam ilfar s. R. O. despite the warm wealth CT and those who see it enjoy splen- did production in a delightfully."- cool theatre.
 At all matinees coupons are being distributed for the kitchen cabinet on exhibition in the Rowland store to be given away Monday.

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY
 TO RECOVER S35O,0OO

Washington, July S.-The Catholic University of America will recover s350, ,000 from the bankrupt estate of the late Thomas E. Waggaman, it's former Treasurer, who owed the in stitution s900,000 when he was adjudg- ed bankrupt in 1904. A compromise to this end was reached with H. Rozier Dulany, trustee for the bankrupt, and Justice Stafford of the District Su- preme Court has ordered the ratifica- tion of the agreement, unless the oth- CT creditors of Waggaman on July 20 show cause why the terms should not be accepted.
 John F. Waggaman, brother of the deceased, is party to an agreement with the trustee by which he sur- renders claims amounting to $25O, 900 to the general creditors of his brother.
 With the disposition of these two claims, which amounted to more than s1 O0o. 900 the proved claims against Waggaman have been reduced to $2,- 700. 900. With the cash on hand and the assets now held by the trustee fhe creditors will probably receive 9 cents on the dollar. The settlement will be delayed for some time until certain property now held by the fvustse. can be converted into -cash4

Gladstone and Disraeii.

It is curious thing that the adora-
ton Of political England should all
this time have been divided, though
not in equal proportions, between two
illustrious men. and governed first by
one and then the other of them,
neither OF wnom she more than half
understood or even pretended to UNI
derstand. Palmerston, for instance,
was one OF the most plain-headed
men that ever became prime minister.
In his two SUCCESSORS political for
tune brought extraordinary paradox.
Mr.. Gladstone, from the day when he
resigned about Maynooth. offered to
his most ardent friends endless puz-
zies. He would have scorned to call
himself by any name but Catholic,
the most devoted son of the Church
OF England. Yet he was the Idol OF
Protestant ultras. the political hero
of Scotch Presbyterians and English
independents. not 10 name the small
but ardent band OF Rationalists. some
of whom were his stoutest henchmeu
to the end.
Disraeli's apotheesis was just as
strange. Mr.. Gladstone used to tell
how one day sitting on the bench
while Disraeli was making strenu-
Gus speech for the removal of Jew
ish disabilities Lord John Russell
whispered. Look at the fellow, how
manfully he sticks to II, though he
knows that every word he says Is
gall and wormwood to every man
who sits around him and behind
him.
