GENUINE AIRSHIP IN HEADLINE ATTRACTION

l Lovers Of the novelty in vaudeville attractions will find much that will appeal to them in the act Of Gardiner and company, which is one of the
 leading features of this weeks pro-
 gram at Keeney's. "Over and Under"
 is the title of the production. It is descriptive of a trip through the l clouds in an aeroplane from whence l the passengers are treated to a visit Tn the caravans under the sea, eventu- ally returning to earth through a.
 torpedo tube. The transition is &C.,
 compllshed with some clever me- l chanlcal contrivances and is pre-
 sented in entertaining fashion. Tn ad- ! Gitlon to its spectacular features the
 act mas some good singing and
 danclng and Q snappy dialogue. On the whole it is better than the aver l @Se ana the patrons have enjoyed it greatly.
 None the less pleasing is the musi- cal speciality of Couch and Larned Ihese people play both popular and classlcal melodies on the banjo, in tfoduclng spectacular scenic effects for a finish.
 Danclng finds clever eXponents in 11erney and company who are also prominent among the performers Who are to close their New Britain engagements tonight They have a classy act and it deserves the praise gwen by the patrons.
 Topping the photop1ay' bill tonight will be Dustin Farnum in The Gen. tleman From Indiana" This big film made distinct impression last even ing and it should attract another large crowd tonight

Does It Pay?
RH CAMERON

Does it pay, in a material way 1 mean, in dollars and cents and mate rial advantage, to be honest and square?
 How often one hears people answer that in the negative, with the cheap cynicism which thinks it's clever to see no good in human nature.
 We all know that it pays in somc- thing bigger and more real than even dollars and cents. But take the mate rial side of the proposition. I'm not so sure that it doesn't pay in the long run. Are you?
 We were speaking the other day of buying a piece of furniture. Some ohe mentioned having seen some good-lookin pieces at certain store. Yes" said the buyer doubt fully, 'but l think I'll go to N We may have to pay a little more, but they're so square. they stand back of anything they sell. I'd feel safer there.'
 Did it pay that shop to stand back of what it sold or not?
 Honesty is the Best Policy.
 Judging from that and similar tes- timony that I have heard, 1 should say it did,
 And I think it pays individuals just as surely to have their names stand for square dealing.
 I once had dealings with a woman who handled a real estate business with an intelligence office on the side I applied to her for a maid, telhns her just the number in the family and what I could pay. The three maids she sent me had all been told by her that I would pay more ana that there was a smaller number in the fmily. It was plainly her policy to do anything to get the business.
 Later I was asked by a friend what agent she had best employ in buying a house. I thought of this woman, but, remembering my experience with her. did not feel that I could recom- mend her. I did not feel that she would be dependable. So my friend went elsewhere and what the woman , gained by placing a maid was as

THE TWO ORPHANS"
 AWAKENING INTEREST

Elaborate preparations are being made for a gala event at the Lyceum M ondaN night,-the presentation of The Two Orphans" Four genera lions of theatergoers have come and gone since this remarkable play first won popularity. The beautiful char acter of Louise, the gblind girl, has been always connected with Kate
 olaAtoh who was member of the
 old Union Square company in New
 4crk. Old timers who are looking
 lof"ard to the production at the Ly-
 ceun which will follow in every way
 the version handed down by Kat ClaNton are relating some of the re-
 markable incidents that have been
 connected with this wonderful play.
 It is recalled that Miss Claxton was acting the part of Louise at the
 Brooklyn theater on the night of
 December 5, 1876, when that build ing was totally destroyed by fire
 She became widely known for her coolness on that occasion and by her efforts calmed the audience and
 prevented many from being killed
 ''The Two Orphans is one of the most remarkable dramas ever penned
 It has more human interest wrapped in one of it's seven acts than many of the present day plays display through out their entire action.
 Miss Julie Herne will play the part Of Louise the blind girl in "The Two Orphans.' This is not her first ap- pearance ill the role, she having es- saved the same character with the famous Pittsburg stock company three or four years ago, which, in- cjdentally was her first appearance in stock. That she has all the qua1i- fcatiOns for a wonderful Louise is remarked by those who are closely allied with her work on the stage Miss Herne is of the same type as K ate Claxton. She has wonderful large, blue eyes, the kind that are easily adapted to enact the part of blind person. It was this wonderful gift of Kate ClaXton's s,--large eyes, that helped so materially for her sue cess Tn this part. Although the famous actress won fame and distinc- ton for her rendition of the role Mathilda in Led Astray' she has always been identified as Louise in ''The Two Orphans" In the same manner, this character is best suited to Miss Herne. She will get a chance to display her wonderful emotional powers, to awaken sympathy for the poor little blind girl who is treated so cruelty by the strangers who have her in charge while she is lost from her sister.
 Mrs. Alfred Cross, the wife of the leading man at the Lyceum. will also have a wonderful opportunity in one of the leading roles in the play. She has been engaged through the per mission of the Poli Players in Hart ford with whom she has been playing for the past ten weeks. Alfred Cross will play two parts in ''The Two Orphans,' appearing first as the cripple. The story of 'The Two Orphans is so old as to need no but it's wonderful action on the stage is such that it's interest never wanes. All over the country it is being revived and reports are that it is meeting with much better success than some of the present day plays. It is an opportunity for the present day generation to learn of the wonderful dramas that entertained the by-gone generations.

THAT AIRSHIP.
Mysterious Craft Said to Have Been
 Seen in New Haven.

New Haven, March 1S-No atten ton is given today to a report cur rent last night that an airship of some type had maneouvered over the plant of the Winchester Repeat ing Arms company and then had sailed away over West Rock.
 The DixweI avenue police station which is only 8 short distance from the arms plant has no report ot such a craft and none of the many guards patrolling the plant saw It. Ihe night was a beautiful moonlight one, and as the guards had been warned at various times, because of similar reports of an airship seen at other places, it is thought likely an aerial visitor would have been quickly seen and an alarm given.

GERMAN SHIPS IN BRAZIL PORTS TAKEN
Interned Vessels RequiSitioned for
 Trade, Is Report in New York

New York, March 1S--Feports were current yesterday that the Brazilian government has seized the German and Austrian merchant ships interned in Brazilian ports, but they were with out official confirmation.
 H. C. de Martins PinEcirO. the Brazilian Consul General was not in- clined to discuss the report pending the receipt of official advIcGs from Rio de Janeiro. Even if it was true, he said, he did not think It would mean war between Germany and Brazil.
 Joseph J. Slechta, general agent of the Lloyd Brazaliero, which is owned by the Brazilian Government, was in clned to credit the report and ad- mitted that he had advised such action by his government several weeks ago. MT. Slechta said that tho shipping situation in Brazil had become al- most ntolerabl and thut he had urged taking over the ,1erman ships to afford relief
 Mr. Slechta said that if the ships had been seized the action of the Bra zilian government was not pred1cated on Germany's failure to pay it's coI- fee debts, as those debts were not government matter. They amounted he said, to about $7O0A 0J0 and were owed to the coffee planters of the state of Sac Paulo. Mr. Siechta said that it was quite true that central and northern Brazil were Drn-al!y, but he added that the government: itself was strictly neutral.
 Plan Would Be Fcasi:,iv.
 Late yesterday afternoon MT. Slech ia gave out a statement ard a list of the German ships in Brazilian ports In the course of the statement he said:
 'Is is true that I have advised our steamship line that it WoEf1 be en- tirely feasible for the government of Brazil to requisition these vessels and incorporate some of them in :he New York service along with the tonnage we already operate. We could use not less than six or eight O these car riers in our own local t-ada from Nor folk to Brazilian ports and a few more possibly in general cargo service to ana from New York.
 1T have made this reoomm ondation on general principles OG public policy and without regard to any considera- tions of past transactions between Germany and Brazil. ' do not know whether or not it is feasible, out it is certainly desirable on the ground stated--that of public policy.
 Tt would be many m onthS before vessels now in Brazilian pNrtS could be placed in service. They would re- quire drydocl<ing and much repairs to hulls, no doubt. fur,h ermore, it would be exceedingly difficult to pro- vide suitable crews and officers for these ships. Nothing spectacular in the way of increased facilities can be looked for as a result tf any action along the lines discussed" /"

Chamber of Horrors: Feast of Seven Tables, Tuesday.
 A large limit second class mail was received in the Post Office vest erday, many quite recent magazines showing up.
 Last night the Rice Benefit drew "a large crowd to the Eagle Hall where an excellent program preceded the enjoyable dance. The numbers all were carried out without hitch and the arrangements perfect. Quite large sum must have been realized by the dance and entertainment. In addition to many other bene- fits, the Dream Theater will give benefit Performance on Monday night on behalf of the Rice fund. A big show will be selected for the oc- casion to quote the word of one of the managers "one touch of nature makes the whole world kin and the golden heart of Nome expands to the touch". Another donation to the fund will be derived from the ton sorial parlors of Frank J. Meilke, himself so long the watch dog of the city treasury, who. will give Mon- days receipts to the cause.
 In the District Court yesterday morning. the gambling cases were proceeded with. Deputy Holland again taking the stand for cross ex- animation when the court convened. He was followed by Deputy Miller. then by Marshal Jordan, J. H, Young, F. J. Meilke and Black Nels. Tho latter is the star witness for the government, deposing that he was paid by Marshal Jordan to look into the gambling and report where an arrest could be possibly made Ef- forts upon the part of the defense to discover why Black Nel3 CT others among the officials confined their attention to Johnson's place instead of other reputcd gambling joints did not meet with very great success. The case was postponed until this morning at ten o'clock by an un- animous vote of the jurors to whom the adjournment was generously submitted by the Court, all hands being promptly raised when the Judge submitted tho question. This case will probably go to tho jury tomorrow forenoon. It is an inter- esting coincidence that the govern ment witness J. H. Young was one of the talesmcn called on the special venire.
 The Feast of the Seven Tables held under the auspices of the Federated Church is not as most imagine a religious festival. It gets llS HUH oCNCl 5Op"i~'S where good things will be provided for the innerman of those who at tend.

PEACE TERMS IN
SEALED PACKAGES
Reported Presented by Ger.
many to Neutral Nations.
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 27.-Reports re-
peated in press dispatches from
Rome that Germany had presented to
the neutral nations whose services
she asked in forwarding the peace
suggestion, sealed packages contain
ing terms, were the subject Of much
commenting in diplomatic quarters.
The Rome report has it that the pack
ages are not to be opened and for
warded to German enemies unless
they, in reply to the note from the
Central Powers OF December IL, spe-
cifically request terms. In German
circles here it was considered more
probably that the direct information
on the subject would be conveyed to
President Wilson through Ambassa-
dor Gerard.

BALANCED RATIONS
FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS

Berea, KY, Dec. 2O.-In order to
prove that the cost of living has not
reached every part of the country.
Rerea College, in the Kentucky
mountains, is responsible for the
statement that its 1,4OO students are
fed at cost of seven cents per meal,
that they gained several tons" In
weight and that the boarding hall
made net gain of $559.49.
In explaining thia record President
FFest ef-the College refers first to
the economy of numbers. some four
teen Sndred stddent being N con
slant attendance in teh five depart
ments. Another explanation of the
seven cent meal is the fact that most
of the students are accustomed to
plain fare, so that they almost unan-
.imously choose to go without tea.

To Offset these omissions the "bal-
anced ration" has been introduced
on the assumption that It is just as
important for students as "for any
other live stock" !.

signal system arranged by William

city of the approach of enemy aero
planes. The Roman newspapers re-

that may at least prevent the escape

city is favored hy two low mountain
ranges between her and the Adriatic
sea, a distance Of 1875 miles. But
should the aeroplanes escape the
coast guns and the antiaerial guns
planted on these mountain tops, the
advancing aeronauts will still find in
their path numerous squadrOns Of

ST. PAUL SELECTED
FOR FEDERAL
FARM LOAN BANK
Applications for Loans AL
ready Twenty Times
Capital.

Washington, Dec. 27.-St. Paul.
Mimi, has been chosen as ono of the
locations for the twelve federal farm
loan banks
The others will be located at
Springfield, Mass. Baltimore, Colum-
bia, S. G.. Louisville, New Orleans.
St. Louis, Omaha, Wichita, Houston,
Berkeley, Calf, and Spokane.
North Dakota. Minnesota, Michi-
gan and Wisconsin will comprise dis
trict No. 7, and South Dakota, Iowa,
Nebraska and Wyoming, District No.
The banks will be established as
soon as practicable. Under the law,
each will have capital stock Of $780,
900. Applications for loans have
been pouring into the board in great
volumes recently, and it is estimated
sum more than twenty times the ex-
cess Of the combined capital stock
could be used in making loans.
Almost the first work of the bank
after approving and issuing loans,
will be the issuance of farm loan
bonds, a new form of security in this
country. The bonds will be issued
| in denominations as small as $25, it
is expected, and bear interest at the
terest charged farmers on their
loans.
What this interest rate will be has
not been definitely determined. 1t
is limited by law to a maximum of
|6 per cent The expectation is that
| it will not exceed 5H at first and
subsequently may be lower. Loans
on farm land are limited to so per
cent. of the value of the land, and
may be payable in from five to forty
years. AS fast as the loans are
made, bonds will be issued to cover
them go that at no time under the
present plan will a banks capital be
other applicants.
| One of the chief tasks now con-
fronting the board is to find expert
enced employees for the new banks.
More than 5000 applications for po-
sitions have been received. The ap-
pointments are exempt from civil
service regulations, but the board in
tends to assemble experienced men.
The head of each bank will be.
designated as registrar. They pos
sibly will be the only residents of the
districts involved and preferably at
torneys.
