AMUSEMENTS.
Miss Lillian Kennedy in “The Dea-
con’s Daughter,” drew a good sized
audience at Hoyt’s Theatre last evening.
The play was a most enjoyable one and
Miss Kennedy is not only a clever little
actress but has a remarkably sweet
voice which she uses to good effect.
Her rendition of the “Wash Tub” song
was excellent and received a merited
encore, The company supporting Miss
Kennedy is a good one and each filled
the part assigned them satisfactorily.
To-night Miss Kennedy will repeat the
play and a crowded house should greet
her.
“The leited Mail.”
Manager Hoyt has secured Elmer E.
Vance’s phenomenal successful railway
comedy drama “The Limited Mail,”
and to-morrow evening our citizens will
have an opportunity of witnessing what
is everywhere recognized as the most
marvelous stage production of modern
times, the great scenic and mechanical
efi'ects requiring two 60 feet especially
designed and built cars for their trans-
portation.
The company is of the best, each and
every member being specially selected
for their parts; and theproduction will
be given under the personal direction
of its author and manager, Elmer E.
Vance.
The wonderful Beatrice, ever so popu-
lar, is still with the company, and be-
sides playing the part of“Jim Harland,”
will introduce new and‘hp-to-date spéc-
ialties, including buck dancing, Span-
ish. fancy and acrobatic dances.
“Princess of Bagdad.”
Miss Margart Fuller and her excel-
lent company of players will be seen
here at Hoyt’s Theatre Saturday even-
ing in an elaborate production of
Dumas’ masterful drama “The Princess
of Bagdad.” The play is of absorbing
interest and replete with thrilling and
intensely emotional situations. Mr.
Horace Wall, long known to the public
as a manager of keen-judgment and
liberal ideas, has Spared no effort to
produce “The Princess of Bagdad” in
a manner commensurate with its great
authorship. He his selected for Miss
Fuller’s support a company of skilled
players. Margaret Fuller, averitable
Hebe of the stage, is seen to the best
advantage as Lionnette, the Countess
de Hun.
Hoyt’s A Trip to Chinatown.
Patrons of the Opera House will
recognizea welcome visitor next Sat-
urday night in the coming of Laura
Biggar in Charles Hoyt’s farce comedy,
“A trip to Chinatown.” The engage-
ment will be noticeable for more than
one reason: The play holds the record
of having a longer run in the metropo~
lis than any other production, no mat-
ter how elaborate that has ever been
seen in the city of New York. The
presentation to be seen at the Norwalk
Opera House is identical with that
given at Hoyt’s Theatre, New York.
Not only will Laura Biggar play the
Gay Widow and Burt Haverly assume
the role of Welland Strong; but the
play will be in the hands of the best
company yet seen In the piece. Among
the musical numbers, may be men-
tioned: The Widow, Racket, Crisp
Young Chaperone, A Bird and aBottle,
Reuben & Cynthia, Put me off at Buf-
f alo, and a coster duet entitled “A Le
Chevalier,” by Miss Biggar.
Mr. Barnes of New York. .
Miss Loraine Hollis, who is to appear
at the Opera House next Monday night
las Marina in Mr. Gunter’s picturesque
play “Mr. Barnes of New York,” .pos-
assess an ideal personality for that
tempestuous, heart-torn maiden of the
South. To a beautiful face and figure,
Miss Hollis unites pronounced dramatic
talent. Her rendering of the role is
marked by an artistic finish, and a per-
sonal charm that wins the most critical
audiences.
“Little Trixie.”
An enthusiastic a'udience greeted the
performance of Little Trixie at the
Opera House last night and were highly
pleased with the star, and play. Miss
Robbins is a bright, piquant little ac-
tress who sings and dances well, and
who is also quite versatile, as she as-
sumes five different characters. The
play is a‘ musical comedy of a refined
order and is replete with many excel-
d
k.
lent specialties. -

which are located 011‘ Stratford and the
remainder ofi' Southport. The firm al-
so controls the steamer Bond Sr Currier,
which is one of the best known boatsin
the oyster business in this part of the
state The oyster grounds are mort-
gaged to the extent of about $29,000,
$17,000 of which is held by Mr. Clark.
The floating indebtedness does not ex-
ceed $400. The settlement of this case
has been watchedwith interest by the
oystermen and it is probable that at the
time of the public sale of the oyster
grounds the bidding will be lively, as:
the grounds are among the bestjn this '
part of the state. At the present time
they have been planted and are grow-
ing more valuable.

A Genuine Kleptomanla'c. ' "
A case of genuine kleptomania has
just come to light in Paris, where a
woman named Bide has stolen 2,600
pipes because she happened to have a.
mania- therefor. She is herself very
fond of smoking, and has a passion
for coloring meerschaum pipes.
W'hen the police descended upon the
flat where she lives they found the
2,600 pipes all neatly arranged on
racks. She had succeeded in coloring
thirty-nine of them. The French
Court, however, was as skeptical as
Recorder Goff on the subject of klep-
tomania, and sent the unfortunate wo-
man to prison for eight months-New.

No Breatli, No Sting.
Here is a way to rob a. beehive of
honey and avoid being stung. Just
hold your breath. Simple and easy
enough, and the only reason it hasn’t
been tried more often is that few peo-
ple know of it. Even the bullet-like
hornet cannot injure you if you just
stop breathing for a moment. In fact,
you can pick him up and watch his
stinging apparatus vainly work, for he
can’t puncture your skin any. more
