Christmas week at the Auditorium promises to bring forth a banner bill. The programme is headed by that tal- ented company of players, Kelso, Leighton & Co.,, who present the mirthful farce comedy, A College Hero. This act, coming direct from the large metropolitan theaters, is along worth the price of admission. A novelty is the act presented by the singing cartoonists, Brown and Brown, who are too full blooded Indians. Jack Mole is an expert bicycle rider who will demonstrate his skill and add to the entertainment. A snappy team are Coulter and Wilson, the original “Rah Rah Boys.” Something doing every second these boys are on the stage. By request, Lillian Morelle will sing that vocal masterpiece, Tostl's Good-bye; also the lively illustrated march song, Ain't Alabama Good Enough for You, Sue? A dramatiza- tion of Longfellow’s poem, Maud Mul- ler, will head the list of motion pic- tures, BREED THEATER. Master Harry Noonan. Norwich’s Popular Boy Soprano. The many patrons of the popular Breed theater will hail with delieht the announcement of the return en- gagement of Master Harry Noonan, the popular boy soprano, who enter- tained thousands of them during his engagement at the. Breed in August last. This young lad’s popularity in the big Boston theaters led him to be engaged to sing upon different patri- otic occasions for the officers of the various war vessels and their friends and the marines, and when singing for them upon a recent occasion he was presented by the officers and crew with a complete naval uniform. made to order for him, on the United States scout steamer Salem, now in foreign waters, consisting of every necessity of sech a suit. It is need- less to say that the little white uni- form is a beauty and is in middy form, with all the fascinating acces- sories, the officers giving him a high rank in the insignia on the arms. He will sing a fetching nautical song for the first part of the week, ap- pearing in this suit, which he wears with the air of an old salt. The great feature picture of the week is entitled “A Rose of the Tenderloin, by the author of “Chimmie Fadden,” and reveals a new phase of life in the shadowy side of New York’s busy life. The bill of the week is a special one and of great merit. The British Battle Royal. Mr, Asquith, the British premier, has delivered his manifesto, and he pro- tests that the liberals have no inten- tion to abolish the house of peers, but that it is designed to reform that body and establish forever the principle that, touching financial matters, which embrace revenue and taxation, the house of commons shall be supreme. This in the TUnited States would amount to taking from the senate the right to' do anything with a tariff bill, but to pass is as it came from the house of representatives, and would deprive the prsident of his veto. On the other hand, Mr. Balfour, the leader of the opposition, contends that the power to tax is the very flower of government, and if the hereditary house of parliament shall be deprived of the privilege to take part in the making of a budget, there is no use for its ex- istence whatever, He might have quot- ed Burke on the “regency bill” about “the barren scepter in my hand,” that is unexcelled as a passage in English political eloquence., And so it is a very pretty quarrel as it stands,as Sir Lucius O'Trigger would say. There never yet was a vital or paramount political issue in the poli- tics of England or America that did not have two sides to it, for government is not yet an exact science, and a fool of either party is nearly, but not quite as apt to be right as the_wisest man of the other party. A quack cured a sore on the foot of a vice president of the United States that most eminent sur- geong dlagnosed as a cancer and cer- ;:’alnt death in a few days.—Washington ost. System and the Men. The investigation of municipal meth- ods in the city of Montreal has now come to a conclusion. What remains to be done is to set up and maintain stout barriers against a return to the famil- far practices. The report of the judge who presided over the inquiry finds that more than 25 per cent. of Montre- al's money has been wasted in graft and patronage every year for many vears. To Americans who have been concerned with like transgressions the estimate will not seem extravagant. The report does not censure persons, but ageribes the corruption and ineffi- ciency chiefly to the administrative system. It is recommended, however, that officeholders who have been iden- tified with the practice be proceeded against. The opinion is a reminder that where a system is loose individuals may be expected to take advantage of it. Hu- men weaknuess is proverbial. The dem- omstrated corruption “has been caused ebove all by the patronage exercised by the aldermen in their committees and in the council in favor of their rel- atives and partisans; the last receive o ‘Penefits and positions to the xgu the general mlr?.lu 55 & as story it is @ righteous cific sense wed out of town. and to the pocketbook sense; althousgh it sometimes seems that citizens, like eels, become used to skinning.—Provi- dence Journal. - The Editor and the Lady. Richard Watson Gilder was a small, slightly built man, with the same mingling of the feminine and the seraph that we.imagine in Shel- ley; his eyes bespoke the poet—large, dark, far seeing, melancholy always even when he smiled. “Not hurting” was almost a religion to him. There is a writer whe remembers going to him with a letter from the late Charles Dudley ~Warner and some manuscripts for sale. She was nurs- ing what seemed a forlorn hope; she was very tired and rather hungry and inordinately afraid, and it was a dreadful day. The rain was falling in a blunt, steady, uncompromising pour. The would-be author's feet were wet and her black gloves thor- aughly damp, and Mr. Gilder came out from his office far-eyed, pre-oc- cupied, forbidding. He stood up and };a: the lady stand; he listened with patience and dismissed her cur- sorily. Nothing could have been more than the atmosphere of that office. nally the poor writer es- caped, choking down sobs, but the tears rained before she reached the elevator. She faced the outer door to find the rain still uncompromising and she had left her umbrella on the fifth floor of the Century building. There was a grain of practical com- mon sense at the battom of the writ- er's soul, and she realized that more than ever, because she was an utter failure, must she take care of her umbrellas; so, bravely she faced the elevator boy, the line of clerks in the outer office, the two stenographers in the anteroom, and, to her horror, Mr. Gilder himself. But in the interim ke had somehow shed the formida- ble editor; he was Richard Watson Gilder, editor and man, with a soul magnificently free. He made the writ- er sit down, he apologized for the weather, and said he had ample time to talk. He promised to read the manuscript carefully himself, and if he could not take them to tell candidly why. And he sent her, the second time, beaming past the long line of clerks and proud before the elevator boy! He accepted a manuscript by a special messenger that night, and he remalned ever after a willing adviser and helper of the writer. To the writ- er the whole matter grew to seem a comic incident, a joke, a good B(m;ly to tell, but Mr. Gilder never liked it. “Don’t tell that story,” he would say. “Don’t remind me of it. One may have done it so often when they were not obliging enough to cry, and so one never knew.” For even when it lay a decade or more in the past he could not bear the pain of having inflicted pain—L, C. W. in Harper's Weekly. Civil Service Reform Dinner. ‘We hope that there.will be a large representation of New Londoners at the annual dinner of the Connecticut Civil Service Reform association at the Mohican hotel, next Monday-even- ing. It is cause for regret that sev- | eral thousand citizens must necessarily miss the practical talks by President Hadley of Yale university, Hon. Geo. McAneny, borough president-elect of Manhattan, and other speakers of fair fame who are to be heard by the diners that night. These are highsgrade men, men who think and do things, who have a message which appeals to the average man. And talks by men of that character are all rare in every community. Here we have a great president of a great university to speak on questions we are all in- terested in having answered and in the solution of which all desire to help; and an address by a new man in the seething politics of Greater New York. There will doubtless be a pleasing contrast in the talks of these two men and information all the more accept- able because if comes from widely- separated sources. The members and guests of the association are in for a session of profit, particularly as Col. Neorris G. Osborn, the eminent editor of The New Haven Journal-Courier, will as toastmaster “supply the intro- ductions” for the principal items for mental digestion.—New London Tel- sraph. How the Watch Came Back. Some strange incidents in the life of a lawyer are recalled by the death last week of E. T. Webb, one of the best known legal men in England. A few years ago he successfully de fended a man charged with burglary and a few days later there came to him by post a valuable with an inscription to the effect that it was a gift to him from a certain London society, presumably of doubt- ful practices, as an acknowledgment of his clever defense of one of their mernbers. Mr. Webb wore the watch a great many years and not long ago had it ! stolen from him at a race meeting. He thought of course it was gone for good, hut three days later back it came to him again through the mail | |} with a letter of apology stating that “we never rob one of our pals.”—Lon- don Letter. In Tripoli farming is carried on ex- clusively by natives, who hold land in small parcels. They are poor men and their methods are of the most primitive kind. The country is capable of con- siderable agricultural development, and if, under the new Turkish regime, con- ditions change and this development ig begun, there will be a profitable market here for Americgn agricultural imple- ments.
