ten them. The cowboys and ranch men are there with their wives to help celebrate, the cowboys using the fete as an excuse to pay court to Mollie
 Wood, a pretty school teacher who has fascinated all of them. At the time of the christening there is .unrest among ranch owners owing to the theft of cattle, ana plans are discussed to apprehend them. Mollie tells of her rescue by one cowboy, and the guests recognize in her rescuer 'The Virginian.'' The latter soon arrives and desires to dance with Mollie, but she has been taunted by Trampas and she refuses. The Virginian in desper- ation goes to the other room and mixes up the babies of the guests, causing most laughable scene when their par ents find out the mixup. Trampas makes remarks about Mollie which the Virginian resents. and is made to apologize. Mollie through the act has been fighting against her growing love for the Virginian.
 In the second act, which is on Judge Henry's ranch, the depredations of the thieves have become such that band of vigilantes is organized and against Mollie's wishes the Virginian acts as the leader. In the third act his men surround the cattle thieves and despite the fact that Steve, one of the dearest friends of the virginian, is one of them and must be hung, the Virginian does not interfere and Steve has to take his medicine. In the last act Mollie and the Virginian are to be married, but Trampas turns up drunk and threatens to kill the Virginian if he doesn't leave town by morning Mol lie begs him to go, but he refuses and his staying ends in Trampas getting his just deserts.
 MT Ince will be seen in the role of the Virginian, a role admirably suited to him. and MT. Eggenton will be seen as Trampas, MT. Holiday as Uncle Hewfe, John Junior as Steve, Miss HoEinger as Mollie Wood, and Mr. Schofield and Miss Martin as we'll as Mr. Kirke in prominent roles.
 During the acts Jack Sherman and the Singing Ushers will entertain and the Electrograph will show new views At the Monday matinee the thirty dol lar brass bedstead which has been on exhibition at Clark's will be given away, and coupons for another val uable gift distributed. The sanitary drinking cups which MT. Poli has in- stalled have proven very popular, and the theatre will be delightfully."- cool even on the hottest days.

NEW EXPLOSIVE TRIED
 AT HADDAM, SUCCESSFUL
More Powerful Than Dynamite But
 Far Safer to Handle.

Middletown, June 24-Carlsonite, the explosive made at Melrose by the Am erican Carlsonite company was tested yesterday at MT. Parmelee's quarry, Haddam, and was found highly sat- isfactory. The tests were made be. fore a number of New York men, in- cluding representatives of the munici- pal explosive commission of that city, who are looking for a logical candi- date for the succession of dynamite, which isn't in high favor in the me- tropolis, especially since the disaster of last January. General George O, Eaton retired army officer, a prom inent member of the commission, ex- pressed his satisfaction over the tests and there will be some decision in a few days as to substituting carlsonite for dynamite.
 Carlsonite is used in stick form. like dynamite and the work yesterday call- ed for the use of a smaller quantity than would have been required of the older explosive. Three holes, nine or ten feet deep, were drilled in the face of large rock, to give a test of the power of the substance and the dis tance which masses of rock were thrown by the use of carlsonite was a sufficient answer to any question on the subject. Eight sticks were used
 There was also a test for safety. three sticks of carlsonite being put on the ground and a detonator being used without an accompanying explosion of the new substance, which would have been thes case with dynamite.

How large part does fresh ai1 play in the numerous plans you are tnak- ing for improving your looks? Is ii not true that you have already selected the cream and lotion you will use, and the kind of bleach you think you will prefer? 1 believe that you have even de cided which new face powder you will try in place of the old which has prov cd unsatis factory. But how about your plans for the greatest beautifer of all fresh air?
 Not fresh air once in a while, when you happen to go out doors-not even the daily airing out of your living rooms or the office-not the tiny crack at the top of the window which lets in an oc- casional whiff of air when the wind hap pens to blow on the side of the house where your sleeping-room is situated Not one nor all of these precautions will answer the purpose.
 If you would be really beautiful; if you would have clear complexion with that inde6nable bloom which is so fas- cinating; if you would have bright eyes and peachblow tints, you must have fresh air, not occasionally but all the time. Your lungs must be supplied with oxygen in order that the blood which circulates through your veins win be the rich, red blood that brings health and vitality and good digestion.
 If fresh air is good for you at any time, there is no, time when 1t is not good for you. If your lungs need fresh air in the daytime, they certainly need 1t at night. Fresh air means clean air; air which has not become vitiated with waste matter. You would hesitate to take into your stomach anything you knew was not deanly, but do not stop to realize that frequently the air you are taking into your lungs is positively unclean, unwholesome and unhealtIful?
 The first rudiments of hygiene will teach us the necessity for fresh air if we would be beautiful We can also make an almost immediate demonstra- ton for ourselves, because sallow skin will show marked improvement in less than a week when the constant inhala- ton of perfectly fresh air has replaced the careless habit of breathing vitiated air from unventilated rooms.
 If you are troubled with pimples and eruptions of the skin, fresh air may not eliminate them entirely, but it will be of great assistance. If your eyes are not bright, and your head feels dull and stupid, try the open-air remedy for twenty-four hours of the day. can almost guarantee that the dullness will

Old Time Musician Of Wheeler Band
 SuCCumbS At 9I Reuben B. Hughes, Master of Musical Instruments and of
 Seven Trades
HAD A LITERARY TREND
Poems and Diary Left Upon Death at the Age of Ninety One-SOme Extracts

New Haven, June 24-Funeral ser vices of the late Reuben Beecher Hughes were held this afternoon at the home of his son, George w. H. Hughes, of 552 Howard avenue. MT. Hughes was we'll known locally, hav- ing resided in New Haven since 1886. He was a musician of no mean ability, being a master of the cello, trombone, string bass, ophicleide, violin and other instruments. He was for Tiff teen years member of the Wheeler & Wilson male quartet, and also of the band bearing that same name. Beside being musician he was also a master of seven different trades. Before the Civil War he was an en- gineer, but when the war broke out he turned to the manufacture of tools for making pistols, cutlery, clocks, guns and carriage springs.
 In 1S4O he married Harriet Sloper of Batah, England, and since then he had kept a diary even up to the time of his death, space of time cover ing seventy-one years. MT. and Mrs. Hughes celebrated their seventieth an niversary in January of this year, and his wife died a, month before his death. MT. Hughes seemed to have pre- monition that he was near his end on the day that he died, which supposi- ton is borne out by the entry he made in his diary on that day. The entry is as follows:
 "A fine day. Feel better this morn, but still have excruciating pains with little exercise. Remained in my room most of the time. Cannot take much exercise. Repaired pen and wrote some. Qn pencil.) Leaks too much, must use pencil This has been a bad day little food causes. pain. l have no pen to use So must use pen eil I expect to soon follow the dear one (nis w;fe), who has gone before me. I hope to a home of happiness" ]" Thus closed the diary of seventy years duration. MT. Hughes was 91 years of age
 Up to within a year Mir. Hughes had been in the habit of taking bicycle rides daily, riding from five to thirty miles He also had written many roems, none of which he allowed to he published. The following is one of his best:
 Oh. tell me where can rest be found,
 Rest for the weary soul,
 In vain I've sought the earth around.
 From center to the pole.
 I've stood upon the mountain height
 To view the landscape OCT. And saw the sun in glory bright s..
 Speed joy from shore to shore. "In vain I've sought the wide world
 o'er.
 To find some happy place Where care and sorrow nevermore
 Can cause a fearful face. But winds and waves unceasing flow.
 In tones of sorrow given, Replies: No rest here below,
 in hoa
 Besides a host of friends he leaves to mourn him one son, George w. H. Hughes, of 552 Howard avenue, and a daughter, Mrs. Noble R. Bishop, of PA Livingston street.

QUEEN OF MOONSH|NERS
TESTIH|ES At MUSKOGEE

Muskogee, Okla, April S.-The testi-
mony of a girl, called here the Queen
of the Moonshiners, before United
States Commissioner Otis Lorton Fri
day, resulted in holding to the federal
grand jury, John Thompson and James
Cantrell, alleged moonshiners, arrest
ed south of Eufala yesterday. A still
and corn whiskey equipment were
seized. The girl said she was the
daughter of a moonsnlner from Ken
lucky and had lived with illicit whis-
ky manufacturers in the mountains in
the Choctaw country until recently,
when she was induced by John Thomp-
son, her sweetheart, to move near Eu-
faula.
The girl gave expert" testimony on
the making of corn whisky. She is a
rugged mountaineer, an adept with
revolver and Winchester, and declared
that she often stood guard at the still
while Thompson was taking the whis-
ky to town to sell.
The young woman said her orders
from Thompson were, shoot the
Home, Sweet Home out of them, if any
one comes near the STILL" and she
said she intended to carry out the or
der. The two men were held under
bond of $1,000 each, in default of
which they were committed to Jail. The
woman was held as witness. She
did not know she was incriminating
the prisoners in her story, which was
drawn from her by questions by Unit
ed States District Attorney Frank Lee.
