POISON
and BEATS OFF
HIS RESCUERS

Battling desperately against the
| meE who were trying to save his life.
Andrew Dukas, keeper of a saloon at
207 Church street took poison this
against the ambulance corps, which
was summoned, that DR.. Krause and
Dukas friends gave up in disgust and
left him to die or live, whichever he
felt live.
Dukas is a man of gigantic stature
and great strength. About 2 o'clock
this afternoon he swallowed a GUAM
tity of poison, of unknown nature.
Someone sent for the ambulance
corps The big machine whizzed over
to Dukas' saloon and DIR. Krause tried
to insert a stomach pump into. the
giants mouth.
Dukas nearly bit the brass tube off
the pump. Five men were called to
hold him while the doctor worked up
on him. Struggling like maniac he
and fairly beat them off.
Attacking him again they succeed
ed in forcing an emetic into his
mouth, whereupon he promptly spat
it out.
Then they tried to argue and reason
with him, but to/no avail. His friends
and the Emergency corps endeavored
to persuade him to take a ride in
the ambulance to Bridgeport hospi-
tai but he conveyed to the best of
his ability in broken English, his
ardent desire that the entire crowd
might seek a warmer climate.
Threats and persuasion proved use.
less, and the whole crowd combined
couldn't equal the strength of the OBJ
durate giant. Finally the ambulance
corps left in disgust and Mr.. Dukas
was permitted to digest his poison at
leisure.
Whether or not he will die is mat
ter Of conjecture. Nobody but Dukas
seems to know the nature Of the dose
he took.
Some. of the spectators say that he
swallowed it by accident others that
it was an attempted suicide. ~
This is the first case in the his
tory Of the Emergency hospital to
have such an extraordinary ending.
At press hour Dukas was still alive
and apparently as strong as ever.

For one obstacle there vas the DEM

bers have announced publicly that
they and their party would rot stand
for anything OF the kind They pro-
pose to name a candidate of their
own and to vote for him
1t is acknowledged by all but a very
few and by all who look on unpre-
JUDGED that George P. Mclean will
be nominated for the Senate on the
first ballot next Tuesday afternoon
and by a. very handsome majority
Of the $50 Republican members
there are 119 who were recognized
as Mclean men when they were NOM
mated and electeds and it is said by
those best informed that good many
others, previously uncomnitted, have
since given notice that they are for
Mclean. If only the 119 vote for
Mclean, his majority VIII be 81. The
common belief is that II will run up
to about 10.
An effort has been made by some
writer's in the Buckley interest to
drag Congressman Hill into the fight.
They have picturesquely represented
to him that now was his time. Mr..
Hill, however, is not, and will not let
himself be made candidate. He
came to Hartford last week to inform
Mclean that he was for him and
would do ali he could to secure for
him the nomination. Probably before
long a formal announcement from Mr.
Hill will be madA ~

THIS WEEK AT POLI'S

Polls bill this week will stand the
test. It is a hummer. It has real
variety and spice. Two immense aud
fences saw it with pleasure yester-
day. Other equally as large and en-
thusiastic audiences will see it before
are John E. Ince, Patty Allison and
Ernest Robinson in Mr.. Ince's new
playlet, "The Man Who Lost, and
Donovan and Arnold in their comedy
sketch. "Doing Well Thank YOU
The Ince sketch was very well re-
ceived, the popularity of Mr.. Ince and
Miss Allison, old stock favorites, be-
ing manifested by the great applause
which greeted them. Mr.. Ince acted
his role in his usual finished form,
while Miss Allison, long noted as a
talented dand attractive ingenu, gave
a. fine impersonation of her role.
James B. Donovan and Rena Arm
old were certainly there with line
of work that pleased the immense
house. Mr.. Donovan will be remem-
bered here by many ais the Irish
King for he has starred in a number
of productiois. If anything he is even
better than ever and that is saying
considerable. Mr.. Donovan's type Of
comedy is sunctious and appealing and
alleged fun that is dished out far to
frequently by featured performers.
Miss Arnold is of great assistance
to Mr.. Donovan as her line Of work
is neat and thoroughly enjoyable. The
act Is one of the best comedy skits
seen here in many a day and is super
Tor to many THAT have been carded as
headliners
Miss Belle Adair pleased with her
vocal contributions. She Is a hand
some young woman gifted with a
splendid voice and she is a distinct
addition to any bill. She is certain
to grow in favor as the week grows.
Mrs. Gardner Crane and Company In
'The Little Sunbeam" scored in good
fashion. 1t is a very entertaining
slzit and is replete with many hon.
estly earned laughs. Talalero's ami
NAL act, the Three Migrants and
the Three Bremens'' complete the Of
fering and each in its way is above
the average of such acts.
