Incidentally their dextrousness and skill that it has be- come the talk of the town. Mcintyre and Heath head the big bill this week and their Georgia Minstrels" IS the most amusing forty-five minutes of entertainment that the vaudeville coming out in force some of them having seen this great pair of black face entertainers ten, twenty ana even thirty years ago. It IS the hlgh- ager Poli and the attendance war rants the outlay. A most dramatic and plausible offering is the sketch The District Attorney" played by Hoyt Lessig and company and hing ing about the enmity convict has for the district attorney who sent him away. He escapes, comes to the at torney's home in the dead of the night and attempts to kill him. Fate steps in and reveals an incident in his life that forestalls the killing. It is a splendidly acted bit and receives the most liberal applause at each performance. The Standish Sisters who have hosts of friends in this city appear in a classy singing act showing some splendid costumes and quite the most artistic offering in the instrumental line is that of the Vene- tian Four while Laypo and Benjamin give the bill great start with their comedy acrobatic act. Ward and Cullen following the riot of applause the act of Mcintyre and Heath evokes get over one of the solid hits of the bill with their classy singing num- Der and taken altogether the patrons of Pol are well taken care of this week

School Board Deadlock.


 One matter before the committee on education of Hartford Tuesday after noon was a bill by Representative G.. F. Sherwood of Weston, which aimed. in case of deadlockS on town school boards to authorize the secretary of the State Board of Education to act on the local board, in order that the deadlock might be broken. Towns coming under the terms of the bill were those whose grand tax list should be $500 600 or less MT. Sherwood and l. C. Fanton of Weston explained the conditions in their town. It seemed that the board of education there con- sisted of six Republicans and six Democrats. The progressive party wishes to send its bright and capable pupils to an out-of-town high school, the State to pay two-thirds of the expense involved, the town the other one-third- However the retrogressives will not listen to the proposition, any more than to vital repairs being made on the dilapidated and inadequate schools. The deadlock has existed for over two years. Charles D. Hine, Secretary of the State Board of Edu- cation, substantiated statements of his predecessors with respect to wretched educational conditions prevailing in Weston. and showed to the committee photographs of the dilapidated school buildings. W. L. Keeler first select man of Wilton, an adjoining town, wanted to put on record as opposed to the bill He said that there was red hot opposition to it.
 Valuable Timber.
 As valuable load of timber as was ever shipped from Lyons Plains, was three tons of white oak "ship knees'' which contractor Clifford Patchen re- gently sold to a ship building firm near New York city. Each stick was curved by nature to the shape best suited for boat ribs and they are much stronger than thdse that are sawed out. They are very hard to find and bring very high prices.

He placed one on the cellar stairs, and the little girl stepped on it. The dynamite injured her finger.
