 'tThe people sat in their seats stolid and mirthless. could not get, them and had to quit. Any comedian who tries to follow Bernhardt will die.''
 The manager tried to cheer him up; told him to have rest and try again at the night performance. Gordon went to his room and when he did not appear for his act in the evening a call boy was sent to his hotel. The door of Gordon's room was broken open and he was found dead upon the floor.

WOMAN TRUSTS GUN AT ABRIOLA
Doughty Sheriff Parleys witt, Her Until Achievements Arrive from Police
 Station

''It is no cinch to be a deputy sher- if in Bridgeport, ," is the comment which Antonio R. Abriola. the well known official will tell you to-day if you comment upon his experiences on Colorado avenue, near State street last Friday night. And it all came about in a very simple and unexpected man ner.
 A local firm had sold a piano upon the instalment plan, and as the pay ments had been discontinued, after fU- tile efforts the part of collectors the matter was placed in the hands of jaw firm, with the result that a writ of replevin was issued and Sheriff Abriola was authorized to se- cure the chatteIs.
 Armed with his legal authority and 8 large moving van, and accompan- jed by a salesman in the employ of the piano company, the officer enter ed the house and after some barley about remaining,, ordered the remo- val of the piano through a window of the house. but a few doors from State street.
 It was at this point that the dan gers of the profession began, as it is asserted by those present that not ev- en the diplomacy of the schoofed sheriff availed, and the titu1ar head of the family, a woman,i ordered her daughter. to. bring a revolver from the. bed-room drawer.
 Although facing the danger of re- ceiving a. bullet should he persist, Alb riola. is said to have remained calm and to have par1eyed with the obstin ate woman until he could secure rein forcements from the third precinct station nearby. Upon the arrival of the officers, one of whom was an ex- soldier, the festivities were short and a settlement was quickly effected
 Although brave in the face of bat tie and completing his mission satis- factorily, 1t is said that upon after thought the well known principal in this episode quavered, and now looks with more respect upon the brother members of his profession than here tofore

MEASURE TO ABOLISH BARBERS' COMMISSION
 DEFEATED IN HOUSE

Hartford. April 2s.-The bill to abolish the barbers' commission was defeated in the House yesterday.
 MT. Stre1n1au of Merfden said the commission had not cost the state one penny. He hoped it would not pass. MT. Landon of Old Saybrook said the barber shops were in better condition; he hoped the bill would not pass. MT. Storrs of Ansonia held the same belief.
 MT. Pons of Roxbury said the com mission had done nothing; that one of the commission was now infected with barber's itch. MT. Barnum of Kent agreed with him and said the barbers admitted that the commission had done little. MT. Sedgwich of Litchfield said the commission was merely a political pull. It was a fail ure. He said he knew this because he had acted as chairman of the com mittee on public health and safety and knew the evidence.
 MT. Capshaw of Harwinton said there were two sides to the question. The boss barbers did not want the commission because they would have to employ higher priced men.

He gave an inspiring address on 'tThe Church and the City" dealing with the responsibilities of the church for the civic life
 He showed that politics could not be separated from the church because all issues are moral and affected the morality of the people. One of the points brought out with emphasis was the unwisdon of party lines in city politics, which prevented the best men uniting on questions of common good, which would result fin greater efficiency, and a higher social moral aty.
 The Fox Piano Co. furnished a vic- frola and splendid records which were listened to with pleasure. A roast beef lunch was provided.
