AMUSEMENTS.
St. Peter’s
Athletic Carnival.
The athletic carniVal .which takes
place at Hoyt’s Theatre this evening,
promises to be first class in every re-
spect. The managers, Messrs. Conroy,
McIntyre, Johnson and Coleman, who
have the program in charge,are a suffi-
cient guarantee that t‘he’,,..carnival will
prove a success.
The grand double wind-up between
Morlock and McNierney and Shep and
Shutskey, will be worth going to see,
and a large audience should be present.
The Sages.
Manager Hoyt has secured the cele-
brated hypnotists, “The Sages,” who
will appear at his theatre all next week.
They give an excellent performance
and introduce new experiments each
night. One of their features being to
hynotizea young man and place him
in a store window, where he is allowed
to sleep forty-eight hours before being
awakened. It is expected‘that the ex-
periment will be given here and the
sleeping man placed in the widow of
0. E. Barker’s cigar store.
Sowing the Wind.
The manager of Hoyt’e Theatre gives
his personal guarantee of “Sowmg :the
Wind” from all standpoints. He believes
it worthy of the best patronage and of
the best theatres in the country, and,
indeed, that is what “Sowing the Wind"
has been getting since it first began its
remarkably successful career at the
Empire Theatre, New York, the season
before last. We all remember its bril-
liant record for over two hundred
nights at that famous house, and the
far-reaching amount of comment and
controversy it gave rise to. Saturday
night at Hoyt’s. ’

a YONKERS snrsarlor.
A Prominent Contractor Charged 'tVith
’ Trying to Poison His Wife. -
Yonkers, N. Y., March 26.———Wa.llace
M. Halsey, son of Edmund Halsey, one
of Yonkers’ oldest residents, was charg-
ed by his young wife, in the court of
special sessions, today with having
willfully placed a. quantity of carbolic
acid in her food last Monday.
Mrs. Halsey’s principal witness was
Dr. Strasser' of St. John's Riverside
hospital, where she went after having
eaten the food supposed to contain the
poison. .
Mrs. Halsey is an active member of
the First Methodist Episcopal church.
It is said that her husband became en-
vious of her success in religious circles
and that he threatened her with bodily
harm on several occasions if she did
not take a less active part in church
work. _ ‘
Wallace is the eldest son of the Hal—
sey family and is a prominent builder.
Dr. Strasser found considerable car-
bolic acid in the food which had been
eaten by Mrs. Halsey, and had it not
been for ‘prompt medical attendance
she would probably have died.
Mrs. Halsey left her home at No. 218
Nepperhan avenue and is‘ now at the
residence of her father, Mr. Olser of
Sing Sing. '
Wallace Halsey pleaded not guilty to
the charge and was held by Judge Kel-
logg for further examination.

Tradies Uiiioiis‘IN'ot Recognized.
Boston, March 26.—The school board
adopted an order instructing the com-
mittee on schoolhouses not to insert
in its contract for school construction
the clause, insisted upon by the mayor,
requiring the contractor to give pref-
erence in work to members of the sev-
eral trades unions. A proposition to
restrict employment under school con-
tract to citizens of Boston, and one re-
quiring the contractor to pay the pre-
vailing trades unions’ prices, were also
defeated.
A Son’s Disappointment.
San Diego, Cal, March 26.—John L.
Collier has returned to his home in Bel-
videre, 1115., a disappointed man. *Dur-
ing 33 years of his life he has been
vainly searching for his father, who
left home in Belvidere in February,
1864. and was not heard of again by his
family until a few weeks ago, when the
son learned that he was located in San
Diego. The father, Willard W. Collier,

Butler’s Latest Ruse.
San Francisco, March 26.—John New-

having exhausted every other means
of averting his requisition to Austra-
lia, has confessed to having murdered
a. sergeant of the Second cavalry,
whose name he could not remember,
while stationed at Walla. Walla, Wash,
in 1888. The authorities have made in-
quiries which leave no doubt as to the
falsity of Butler’s confession.
Harvard’s Trial Spin.
Cambridge, Mass, March 26. ——Mr.

If when a foghorn warns the mariner
to shear off the coast, he still' hugs the
shore and wrecks upon it, whose fault is
it ? . If the red switch light is up and the
engine driver deliberately pulls ahead
and pitches into another train, blame
the driver. If a careless workman will,
in spite of warnings, try to find out how
many teeth a buzz saw has, and the saw
tries to find out how many fingers the
workman has, blame the workman—not
the saw. If a sick man knows that a
certain medicine is doing him good, and
he carelessly neglects to use it. blame
the man not the-medicine. If Norwalk
people who have kidney complaint and
backache will ‘not take Doaiie’e Kidney
Pills,_when they are endorsed by scores
of Citizens, blame the people, not the
endorsers. ,
Mrs. Joseph Whitley of 61 Belden
avenue, says "I was reading the papers
one evening, and came across an adver—
trsemeiit ot Doane’s Kidney Pills, at the
time I was annoyed with a pain in the
small of my back and was thinking of
trying some preparation to see if I could
get relief. Doane’s Kidney Pills seemed
to me to be above the average judging
from the cures they had made and I got. , 'i
a box at Hale’s drugstore and took them.
They produced decided and satisfactory
results. I recommend them to my
friends. ”
