Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. The change of yvaudeville bill at the Auditorium on Thursday brought three pleasing numbers, while Perkins, Lap- pan & Co. remain for the rest of the week in their popular satire, In Friend- ship. Of the mew numbers Moran & ‘Moran, a mixed comedy singing duo, show a lot of clever dancing and get nice hands for their melodious vocal numbers. A turn that is a winner is Ethardo, European equilibrist, who brings out hearty rounds of applause for her hazardous and clever pyramid work and fancy juggling. In a musical number Falardo has a novelty turn combining vocal numbers that display his pieasing voice, cornet numbers and a taking moving picture song. There is a well selected line of moving pictures, making a bill that keeps close to the standard set by this popular house. TWO OLD HORSES. Named for Scott and Burns—Entered in Hartford Parade. It is remarkable the number of old horses there are in Hartford, and it seems that all are entered in the work horse parade according to The Courant This parade is serving the purposes of a census enumeration of the horses A casual glance over the entries in the “old hoss” classes reveals a couple of entdies by William Meggat of Wethersfield and the information fur- nished brings out something remark- able. They are Watty and Bob, named after Sir Walter Scott and Robert Burns. Here is the story as written by Mr. Meggat:— “Wattie and Bob are 33 and 32 years old, respectively, next month. They are a pair of brown geldings, fuil brothers, bred and raised by Eastman Brothers, Belleville, Jefferson ciunt New York. Wattie was foaled in 18 and Bob in 1878. The owner first saw them in the summer of 1878. Wattie ‘was then a yearling and Bob a sucker, both running with their dam on th Eastman farm. He bought them in February of 1883, paying $600 for the pair and shipped them to Wethersfield where they have remained ever since and the owner says they have never been apart over twenty-four hours at a time in their lives. Their sire was ‘Walkill, 2801, he by Rysdyk's Hamble- + tonian, 2;10, dam Dby Seeley’s American Star, 2;14. Their dam hands brown mare weighing pounds, said to be by Durfie’s Conster- nation. The BEastmans owned both sire and dam. “In their prime the pair never weighed quite 2,400 pounds, 2, pounds being the most in the owner's recollection. Wattie used to weigh be- tween twenty-five and thirty-five pounds more than Bob. They were never sick or lame in their lives and can do anything single or double that farm horses are requested to d have been kind and,gentle, alway: any kind of a hitch. They were fast walkers and had great endurar were fine drivers, single or double and hav done a great amount of hard work, and the owner vouches for the claim that they have had always a good idriver. They have been well cared for, well fed and never abused, and in the opinion of the owner, al- though never babied, they are the best pair of horses for general pur- poses that he has ever owned or known of. With their - owner, they have grown old together.” The Newport Verdict. The jury in the case of Walter K. Newport, on trial in New Haven for attempted murcer, have rendered the verdict of insanity and the judge has sentenced Newport to the insane asy lum at Middletown for five years, “In- sane for five years” is rather a strange verdict for a Connecticut court to render and the guestion at once arises as to whether the insanity plea is not being overworked in murder trials. As we understand it, the original intent of the insanity clause was to hold blameless a raving maniac or a person entirely demented who should commit crime, It has now become quite the thing especially in murder trials to offer the plea of insanity as a defense and as soon as the crim- al has been judged insane at the time ‘his crime was committed, his at- torneys at once take steps to prove that his insanity was only temporary. This happened in the Newport case, for almost in the same breath in which Newport's attorney exvressed his joy at the verdict of insanity, he an- nounced that they would at once be- gin_the attempt to prove his present = Orrine of DRUNKENNESS Her Husband Now Spends His Eve- in her home town—she boléth! reading the Orrine Free Book! the Booklet sh cures of drunkennes complished by th: remedy of unusual merit. to purchase it and cure. her husband of She ts & happy wife ih a nappy she is a happy wife in a Orrine halfed to pi r{e field the ing the merits of Orrine. help but feel tunate when we secured the agency for this reliable ligquor cure.” 1, odorless, given drink. 5 for those who wish to cure themsel Orrine costs only $1 a box. antee 1s.in each Orrine Booklet (mailed in plain sealed envelope) to Building, Washin, for sale in this city by N.

Naval officers are laughing at the ignorance displayed by the lawmakers in congress the other day when some- one sought to learn the reason why the bottoms of the trousers of enlisted men in the navy are loose. Represent- ative Hobson, who was educated in the navy academy and ought to know, gave the following explanation: am inclined to think that the trousers of the sailor were evolved in the days of Noah, and that when the first eailor began to &wim he found it better to have the trousers loose at the hottom to get his stroke more ef- fectively.” When Mr. C of Wisconsin, with an air of incredulity, asked if he really though there were sailors in Noah's ark, Mr. Hobson replied: “My statement is based on the as- sumption that the world is a water planet, and from the very beginning naval affairs have been of the first importance. Noah and his family sur- vived because they recognized this in- herent pre-eminence of the question of adequate naval preparation. The hu- man race was once saved by a ship, and is golng to be saved again by ships. The sailor could not make him- self web-footed, soc from the earliest times he spread his trousers out at the bottom. His trousers flared out in the infancy of man and they will still probably be flaring out when the last trumpet sounds.” Naval officers declare that the reason why enlisted men w flaring trouser bottoms is so they may be rolled np to permit wading to and from the beach, if necessary, and to get them out of the way when the barefooted men are swabbing down the deckds. —Wushing- ton Letter to the Brooklyn Hagle, The Dogwoods.
