PRODUCE.

There was nothing very new to be
said for the produce market this morn
ing The Elgin butter market was I'M
changed this week. Eggs are holding
steady and hrm. Poultry was in fairly
liberal supply and the general demand
WAS limited. but there was no particu-
lar pressure on prices. Tomatoes are
coming freely and the vegetable list
as a whole is active and steady. There
were about 1900 bushels OF peaches on
the boat this morning. but receivers
had no trouble in cleaning up, although
the demand is not what II was a week
ago.

LOTTIE WILLIAMS IN PICTURESQUE
 CHARACTER ROLE
MELODRAMATIC STAR AT POLrS SCORES IN EDMUND DAYS
 SKETCH.
Burt Shephard, Australian Whip NanipulatOr, Introduces Startling NoveIty-Other Features.

Lottie Williams, famous for season after season as a melodramatic star, was given a reception at PolpS last cvNning that must have brought back to her mind the halcyon days of the popular price melodrama, when her every appearance used to be greeted with storms of applause and cheers. Appearing in Edmund Days one act play, "On Stony Ground, she gave a of a waitress in Pell street restaurant that compares favor ably with her best work in other realms of the stage. The story has to do with the self denial of the waitress, who re- fuses 10 recognize her long lost sister, the adopted ch Id of a family of wealth in order to spare her the shock Of learning her early surroundings, as we'll as to allow the more favored sis ter to rest securely in the love of an artist with whom the waitress had all lowed herself to fall in love. Miss Williams utters the luridly pictures que slang in effective Bowery vernac- ular. The playlet teens with laughs, and it's pathos is in admirable propor- ton. It is one of the best things of the kind the season has brought here.
 The surrounding bill comprises an attractive diversity of offerings, the leading novelty being the performance of Burt Shepard, an Australian whip rnanipulator. One of his assistants in introducing the artist explains the use of the whip by the Australians as cor responding to that of the larlat by the
 American cowboy. Shepard uses
 lashes from 15 to 25 feet long, and he
 performs a great variety of stunts,
 such as clipping the ashes off the end
 of a cigar held in his assistants s
 mouth, cutting a candle in two. extin-
 gushing a candle cutting a whiskey
 bottle in two, showing his dexterity
 with the lash. Every crack of the
 whip is like the report of a young can
 non. Then he introduces a few thrill CTS such as administering a spectacu- lar flogging to his assistants, and lashing his young woman assistant about the barred arm and throat with
 out hurting them.

 OVER HIM.

Winsted, Jan. 11.-William Drink water, a bell boy at Hotel Winchester, has been removed to the County Hos- pital, where an. operation will be per- formed for an injury sustained some months ago. The cause has baffied medical attendance. Young Drink water has been suffering from a strain in the abdomen for almost a year.
 During the exhibition given by
 Professor Prescelle at the Winsted
 Opera House, he was one of the best
 subjects in the show. Owing to his
 smallness of stature, he was selected for the performing of the favorite stunt of converting the body into a
 rigid state, placing it on the backs of two chairs, and allowing three full grown men to stand upon it. This exhibition was twice repeated during the weeks show, with Drinkwater as | principal. It was shortly after the show had left town that the lad was Eaffected with pains in his stomach, and foreign growth appearing. The injury has failed to respond to var. I ious methods of treatment
