The ever present Monday night crowd was on hand,followed by a large and enthusiastic audience on Tuesday. The crowds found something meritori- ous in each turn on the programme. The team of Brown and Brown led the race for applause with their clever crayon work and singing, their closing number winning much applause. A screamingly funny farce comedy is “The College Hero,” played by the Kelso, Leighton Co. Mr. Kelso is an extremely funny light comedian, who succeeds In bringing out every laugh and point in the act. Joe Mole, for- merly of the Jessie Keller troupe, has a bieyele specialty that would be hard to beat In that line. The Rah‘’ Rah’ Boys, Coulter and Wilson, have a neat surn, introducing singing, piano play- ing and some comedy talk. The ef- forts of -Lillian Morelle in Torsi's “Good-Bye” were well received. A first-clags portion of motion pictures complete the bill. Christmas day continuous, 1 to § and 7 to 10.30. BREED THEATER. “The Indian’s View,” Superb Biograph Picture, One of the most attractive motion mictures at the Breed theater this week is the Biograph subject entitled The Indian’s' View, and is a superb educational picture of the poetlecal side of the red man. This picture reveals a side of the Indian that has never been reproduced in motion pictures before, and represents the crowding of them from their original land hold- ings until they are face to face with the western sea, with no more land end no home. A magnificent spectacle fs where the old chieftain, leading his rapidly decreasing tribe, is seen to be wending their way over the mountain erest, just at dawn, the mist rising in the valley, and the desire in their heart that the morning sun may light their way to a better land and happier surroundings. The Rose of the Ten- derloin is another gem, and is one of the most complete picture-stories im- aginable, calling for many expressions of admiration. Master Harry Noonan, as usual, captured the house with his dainty manner and-fine singing. BRACELET LEFT TO QUEEN. Estate of Late Dowager Duchess of Manchester Valued at $1,624,330. Among the bequests contained in the will of Consuelo, Duchess of Manches- ter, which was filed for probate to- day, is one of “My ruby and diamond bracelet which I would ask her ma- jesty Queen Alexandra to be graciously pleased to accept as a token of my respectful affection and regard.” The gross value of the duchess’ Eng- lish estate is $1,624,330. RBesides the token to the queen, the specific be- quests include a ruby and diamond tassel to Louise, Duchess of Devon- shire; a sapphire necklace to her grandson, Viscount Mandeville; marked ‘“Mary,” and its contents to her granddaughter, Lady Mary Mon- tague, and a box marked “Alice,” and the contents to the second daughter of her son, the Duke of Manchester. The dowager duchess left to her sis- | ter, Emily Yznaga, $5,000 a year, and to the Countess Zichy, husband was Fernando Antonlo Yzna- ga, $4,000 a vear. A number of char- itable bequests are made, including $5,000 to the Society for the Preven- tlon of Crdelty to Children. Seyeral family servants are handsomely re- membered. After making provision for grandson, Viscount Mandeville, her and settling $250,000 of her American es- | tate on the younger children of the Duke of Manchester, the duchess left the residue in trust for the duke, his | wife and children during his time,—New York Times. ‘ "Twas a Fox Pup. A man waiked into the eafe of one of the DanBury hotels Saturday after- noon, leading a fine pup, the breed of which those at the bar were unable to determine. It was a red haired ani- mal, with a pointed nose, bright eyes and small ears, which pointed upward. The man had warned those around him not to touch the pup as it would snap their fingers. Presently, when all those in the place had taken a guess as to the breed of the animal the owner gave the snap away. It was, he said, a fine specimen of a fox pup which ‘he had raised by hand from a tiny baby fox and was tame. The owner could do anything with it, au( strangers met with a chilly recep- on. Tife- Warning by Bishop. Bishop Brewster of the Episcopal dlocese of Qonnecticut, has caused to be published in The Connecticut Churchman, this official ecclesiastical organ, the following church canon: “No election of a rector shall be had until the name of the clergyman whom it is proposed to elect has been made known to the bishop, if there he one, and sufficient time, not exceed- ing thirty days, has been given him to 'communlclu with the vestry there- on.” The bishop gives notice that he will not consent to the entrance of a clergyman upon the rectorship of any parish until the requirements of the above canon have been complied with. Having repeatedly published the above warning, the bishop has been obliged, in the case of oné election, to reluctantly withhold for a time his consent, A Government Depository. Congressman John Q.

Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, sister of President Cleveland, is one of the latest to give formal adherence to the cause of woman’s suffrage, having affixed her signature to the national suffrage pe- tition last week. Though she has not yet joined the organization, Miss Cleveland is sald to have expressed hearty sympathy with the aims and methods of the Politieal Equality as— sociation recently founded by Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont. This organization, it is sald, will remain completely inde- pendent of all existing suffragette so- cieties, but there are plain signs it is growing in strength. It is said to be behind the systematic- campaign now being organized In every assembly district throughout the state of New York, and its membership is recruited from all conditions of men and wom- en, some of the subscriptions rising to $1,000,- while those who can contribute no more than $1 enjoy the same rights and privileges as the wealthiest mem- bers.
