THE s.NEW HAVEN, ROAD.

 Have1 ta1 x. Hartford railroad continue 1 to dribble out in small lots. some i h O ders being in evident diStrus1t Of | the roads ahility to continue its $ | per cent. dividends. In view of the persistent and somewhat elaborate l efforts to discredit the. managem ent, ] it is not strange that now and then a and decide to throw his stock over at prices not far from the lowest at which 1t has ever sold. It Is not to be denied that a quotation of 136 for this old time investment reflects pop ular belief that the dividend must come down. The old fable that the tape tells the story" is advanced aS sure indication that per cent
 dividend is inevitable, as of course ''the tape never lies. Scarce-headed newspaper broadsides are promulgat- ed to prove that the road is being viciously neglected in it's maintenance departments and that MT. Mellen is piling capital obligations onto the road greater than the earnings can bear Now MT. Mellen knows far better than his critics that it is no easy task to show per cent. dfvi- dends on New Haven stock, and at the same time meet the 1ncreaslns demands of a critical public for i'm proved transportation facilities and the demands of his trainmen for higher wages, especially when. as al the present time, general business . far from good Of course the dom1- naJlng pSTSOnd14Iy III S1AdpAHS lAtS roads financial policy is J. P. Mor- gan, and he has on several recent occasions declared to his associate df- rectors that so confident was he re- garding the stability of New Haven's s per cent. dividend, that it seemed almost a needless and perfunctory duty to go through the formality of taking a vote to this end at the meet ings when the quarterly dividends are voted.
 The plans of the. New Haven rail- road in the matter of unifying and developing it's various transportation lines, including the resurrection and upbui' ding of the Boston & Maine Sys- tenn are still in a transition stage. there are other va.Gt projects at the New York end of the inerepresent- ing millions of inVestm ant, the inter est charge upon which has been made a charge against current income, al- though the projects themselves are not yet in shape to yield any income. Millions of New Haven capital have gone into such enterprises, but until the road has opportunity to show return on them and to give evidence of what it can do in the Boston & Maine territory, when operated ac- cording to New HaNen'5 standards, it is entirely too early to assert that the system can do no more than earn the cost of the money involved.

 BIG HIT AT THE LYRIC
Frank Carpenter Stock Company Produces Ade's Play In Fine
 Style,

Father and the Boys, one Of Geo. Ade's best comedies is the attraction which is bound to play to capacity houses at the Lyric theatre this week, tertatns and delights the great ma jority of theatregoers. As presented by the Frank Carpenter Stock it started last night with the seal of putIic approval upon it. James De- vine as Father Morewood proved a great hit; he kept the audience in ance, and received most hearty ap- plause. Father and the Boys" has a well defined story or plot runnin g throughout with enough fun to make it one of those refreshing plays of the lighter character which steals weariness from the body and makes one forget business or household wor- ries.
 As usual, last nights performance was exceIlently balanced with that bexy of actors who are gaining favor Tn with every very ToT PerfoPmaInGe GIaGns Rongrt t5d MorewOod boys" did their work with usual snap, and John Carroll as Major .Bellemy Didswc~th deserves special mention. Miss Cleveland was the favorite among the actresses and Miss Strickland followed a close sec ond while the splendid acting of Miss Florence Carpenter, her versatility cult roles is fast gaining public favor
 There is one feature of the Carpen- ter stock which deserves mention and that is the artist who has become a fixture with the company and pre- pares fresh new scenery for every performance-Mr Allen Schrock. who reproduces the exact scenes as shown in the original Broadway perform ances He is a link in a chain which would otherwise be incomplete.
 Father and the Boys" will be con, tinued throue bout the week 1N1th matinees Thursday and Saturday, the usual prices prevailing.

MASON, KELLER co. IN
 BRIGHT SKETCH PLEASE
 LARGE POLL AUDIENCES
Felix Adler. Barnes & Robinson and The Irish Singers Also on This
 Weeks Bill.

One of the brightest. wittiest sketches of the season Is presented at Poli's, this week, by Homer B. Mason and Miss Marguerite Keeler. 'In and Out Is the title of the piece Mason originally won fame by appearing III a burglar" act, but he appears to be just as much at home in the new type of sketch The author of the piece is Porter Emerson Browne, who wrote A Fool TheHe Was and oth- CT successes. A though built on the familiar lines of the man getting Into the wrong house,, the piece neverthe- less has several unique situations and the snappy dialogue always produces daughter. Mason is finished com edfan-, He doesn't exaggerate, hut his natural methods bring better re- suits. Miss Keeler is pretty and Is also a clever and graceful actress. Henry F. Norman as ''tbe expec' ed guest'', and Herman Noble as the policeman, perform their parts we'll
 Felix Adler was one of the hits of last nights bill. He has bunch of original nonsense that pleased the house immensely. While singing, Ad- Ter keers his hands moving cons ant ly, a trick which Harry Breen intro duced into vaudeville Adler's lnl- tation Of a ventriloquist in which he uses a sage hand for dummy caus- ed the audience to roar with glee.
 Barnes and Robinson have a piano and singing act that is the goods. The. girl is well versed in the art of singing popular songs and her male partner knows how p'ano shou d be played The number Not Tonight, Josephine'', was the best thing they did.
 pIayIet which the program character fzes a "a little episode in a poll ician's life It tells the story of a. polite ian who has just accepted the nomt- nation for Governor, but is forced to withdraw from the race because a prize fighter has learned some damag- ing facts about the politicians past The contrast of the prize fighter with his racy. sIangy talk and the d1gnf- fled politician gives opportunity for plenty of nirth. This sketch is inn 1nense.
 The Reed Sisters are slim, little girls but they have enough strength in their wiry frames to perform all sorts of difficult acrota+ic stunts. They a so show several acrobatic dances that please the people.
 Miss Louise Agnese and her Six Irish Singers in ''Echoes of Erin" didn't arouse any wild enthusiasm. Miss AgneSe and her col,eens sing Meeting of the Wa+ers'', "DarI'n ng Girl from Clare, and other melod'e 'es from the Emerald Isle. Come Baok k to Erin" as sung bv Miss Agn@se was given the mos+ applause.
