 Miss Cleveland, in the role of Mary Tudor, which was originally played by Miss Marlowe, will be seen this week with especially telling effect The part will afford her exceptional Op- portunities for the display of her tall ent, and she will more than delight her audience, especially with her ap- pearance, for the first time in this city, in boys garb, which the action of the play requires

Gov. Baldwin On
 College Needs
Women's Colleges a Necessary Incident of Human Progress,
 He Says

Hartford, MayN6-Gov. Baldwin made an address before the Womens COun- cil of Education, Saturday evening in which he gave announcement to the higher education of women. He said in part:
 "The prominence of collegiate train ing for women in any state is apt to be in inverse proportion to it's age The newer states go farthest. The reason is natural. The old states, dat ing back to the seventeenth century share still in some of that century s ideas.
 Our oldest educational institution in Connecticut is the Hopkins Gram mar school of New Haven, founded in 1860, by those who hoped that 1t would become a college; but it's trustees ear- ly voted that it's expressed purpose to breed up hopeful youths both at the Grammar school and the college, for the public service of the country in future times, was inconsistent with the admission of any girls.
 "Yale college followed, and has been steadily conducted under the domi- nance Of the same ideas. Yale univer- sity is more liberal, but. except in the Art school, only to women of ad- vanced scholarship under training re- travelled for many years in different direction, but has now reverted to it's older traditions. Trinity has never. I believe, opened it's doors to any wo- men,
 "'Co-education,' it is safe to say, is foreign to the thought of the Land o1 Steady Habits.
 "Women's colleges, no doubt, are a necessary incident of human pro- gress.
 Our first women's college in Con- necticut has been founded under par ticularly suspicious circumstances. Ii has a broad charter, a commanding site overlooking the Thames river and New London harbor, and a fund of over a million dollars, all on hand and drawing interest, for its upkeep. All that it needs for immediate usefulness is one or two buildings specially plan ned for college purposes.
 'The era may by possibility come when the work of the home will be more equally shared between the man and his wife, their sons and their daughters, and, in the houses of the rich buffers will become as plenty as chambermaids are now
 ''But at present the man is the mair wage earner and the wife the mair wage expender She eXpends this wage in ministering to the life Of hel household. She ought then to know how to do this to the best advantage It would seem to me that this made it distinctly desirable that domestic science should be at least an elective part of the curriculum in every wo- mans college"

She was not at Gods Providence House last night and it was said that she would not be found at the Mulberry street ad- dress. It was said that she would be

slasm was great enough to make the women forget their suppers and they lasted until 10 o'clock when the meet ing closed.
 The Connecticut league promises to do better when they have the parade in Hartford during the coming ses- sion of the Legislature. The ladies hope that they will receive the same courteous treatment at the capital of the State as they did in New York on Saturday. Although Connecticut
 has beaten the record for great in crease in numbers, New Hampshire is nearer the goal than any other New England State. It is expected that equal suffrage will be an accomplished fact in that State during the coming year. The parade will be repeated
 every year, at least until all the States
 have granted the suffrage to women.
 The Connecticut delegation have the
 highest praise for the officials of the
 movement and the people of the city of New York for the courtesy and
 general good will manifested
