New York, April 22-(Special. .)-Lent being over theatrical managers antici- pate few months of money making. Some theatres closed up during holy week, the managers realizing 1t to be useless to keep their places open.
 A unique performance of "The Mer- chant of Venice will be given by blind actors at the Blind Workers exhibition. which President Taft will open April 26 at the Metropolitan Opera House. Al though this is not their first appearance these blind performers have never been seen outside of Boston. The company is composed of men and women, all blind. and is managed by a blind stage man ager. Many of the actors had stage ex- perience before they lost their sight. Re hearsals have been going on for some time to make ready for the Manhattan appearance. On the stage the sight less performers govern their movements, their entrance and exits entirely by dis tance, and this makes necessary stage which is exactly similar to the one used in rehearsals. The incidental music will be furnished under the leadership of who have seen these players before say that their work is finished.

KNOCKED THE sTUFFlNo
OUT OF THE BALL
Danny Murphy's Bat Tore the Sphere
Apart.

Jake Stahl, the big first baseman,
who. after career of twelve years at
the University of Illinois and in the
major leagues has announced his in
tention of retiring from baseball to
go into the banking business, has a.
peculiar story of a freak play that
happened last season. The play illus
trates the uncertainties of the game.
I'VE were playing the Athletics"
says Sta1f, land Danny Murphy was
at bat, with Ray Collins pitching. 1t
was along late in the game, and for
a wonder we had them beaten, al
though during the last season we
seemed to be the easiest club in the
country for them, not even barring the
Cubs.
srhe thing that happened just goes
to show how a club that is playing in
luck has all the luck We had a couple
of runs the lead, the game was near
an emo and two strikes on Murphy,
who is a cracking hitter toward right
field II he gets good grip on the ball.
He took a swing at his third strike
and nit the ball a terrible crack. I
think I seldom have seen a ball hit
harder than that one was. 1t came
down the first base line so far foul that
I thought it would go three feet or
feet high. made wild running jump
at that ball showed up my mitt, hop
ing to stab the ball as it went past
you may imagine my surprise when
the ball darted down ana. inshooting
at 1east twelve feet. grazed my right
knee and went TO right field on fair
ground. And when the ball hit the
ground, it struck. twisted toward the
foul line, rolled perhaps thirty feet and
/ stopped. Two runs scored, the batter
reached second and scored later

and picked up the ball, it was split

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
FEW IMPORTANT CHANGES.
Selling Pressure Not so Strong in Wal
Street Yesterday.

New York, May 5.-Trading in stocks
assumed no well defined trend today,
and the market was hesitating with
several diverse movements. There was
an absence of the sustained selling
pressure which upset prices yester-
day, and the short interest seemed to
be more concerned about covering than
attempting any extension of their OPP
erations the result was q keen de-
mand at the lower level established
yesterday. and at the opening stocks
were quickly forced up to a point
Buyers were not inclined TO follow the
market on the advance however, and
prices accordingly fluctuated within a
comparatively narrow range. Changes
on the day as a rule were unimport-
ant.
Reports Of industrial conditions
which on the whole were more hope
full, seemed to excite only passing at
tention. The same was true of the
situation in Mexico, in spite of the
fact that large American interests are
concerned and that advices received
today pointed to a critical stage in the
affairs of the republic. The labor sit
uation, in view of reports of increased
trouble was watched with keen inter-
est by investors as well as large en-
ployers, particularly as it affects. rail-
roads, whose decreased earning capac-
y
| managers to grant concessions at the
present time.
Although trading in bonds fell back
from yesterdays large fiugresI the
market was still active and pricts of
some issues made further advapces
Quotations for securities of the nigh
est grade have now reached a level
where the interest yield ceases to show
such wide contract to the rates OBJ
tainable for money. and as the move
ment progresses the investment de-
mand for standard dividend paying
stocks increases appreciably. Perhaps
the most patent evidence of this ten
dency is the increasing demand fol
various high priced specialties which
have come into prominence in the mar
ket recently.
Amalgamated Copper was the strong
feature of the late part of the SEES
! sion. A factor contributery to this
strength of this issue was the state
nlent made on the authority of a rep
! resentative of the Guggenheim inter
ests, that the demand for copper
| abroad. especially in Germany, was ex-
| cellent.
A falling off in gross receipts Of
| money at this center of So 100000 dur
| ing the week is indicated by the known
movements of money. Gains from the
| interior were much less than in The
preceding week, and losses to the sub
\ treasury were heavy, owing in par
| to shipments to Canada and the Pacifs
! coast.
| The bond market was firm. Tota
sales, par value, $4,34S, SEQ. United
| States bonds were unchanged on call.

Millions of Folks
Use Only 'Cascarets
They Never Have Headache, Bilious
moss, Sluggish, Inactive Bowels or
Bad Stomach to Make Them Miser-
sbIa

A million boxes month. That's
the sale of Cascarets. And every
tablet in every box means a day of
good cheer. Think what a world OF
happiness this candy laxative has
brought to men and women-also the
children. Are you getting your share?
Cascarets cure bowel troubles when
they have developed. But that is the
least of their uses. Their best SER
vice is to prevent the many ills that
come from inactive bowels. Think of
the days when you are not at your
best. The mornings when you don't
feel right, the afternoons When you
are 1ogy, the evenings when you are
irritable. The cause lies in the
bowels.
One Cascaret makes everything eff
farent. Don't say "FIl take it to-
night Take it at once. Garry a box
in your pocket. The hours Nbefore
bedtime are too good to be wasted
Cascarets are gentle and pleasant
Their action is as natural as the
action Of fruit on the bowels They
are sold by all druggists at 10 cents
per box.

Abe the NeWsboy and Homer Monty.

Homer Monty of Occum and Abe the
Newsboy of New London wrestled a
one-hour draw on Friday evening be-
fore a crowd of $50 at the Baltic A.
c., neither grapper getting a fall in
that time. 1t was a clever bout all
the way, both boys showing a willing
ness to work, with Abe doing most of
the top work. Twice he had Monty in
dangerous positions, bur the Baltic ia
vorite got away. Once Monty had Abe
in difficulty with a Furnishing toe hold,
but the New Londoner was too strong
and broke the hold. The conditions
were for catchweights, best two out of
three in an hour. Waiter Miner of
Baltic was referee, Alfred Manning of
Norwich tinekeeper.
The Baltic sports chamored for an
other meeting and Monty has c1lal-
lenged Abe for the best two out of
