“Princess of Bagdad.”
MZSi Margaret Fuller who Lcomes t)
Hoyt’s Theatre to-night will present
for the first time here “The Princess of
Bagdad,” a strong play of absorbing
interest, and intense emotion from the
pen of the celebrated playright, Ale-x-
ande: Dumas. The story Of the play is
told in a novel way, and in the course
of the telling, there are presented scenes
that not only afford great opportunity
for the actor’s art, but make strong de-
mand upbn their powers. This play
ought to be welcomed and doubtless
will be. by the theatre going public al-
ready sated with the woes of the string
woman, the faithless wife and the ex-
ponent of the social problem, for while
it is perfectly clean and wholesome, it
has all the power and intensity, the
Teaching for which is the excuse of the
makers of the first mentioned class of
plays. The theme of this play is love
in various of its aspects,and in its-work-
. ing out the playright leads the audience
through‘scenes of considerablestreng th.
Hoyt's A Trip to Chinatown.
An event that Norwalk play-goers
are sure to regard as of more than 81g-
nal importance in amusement annals
will be the coming to-night at the Op!
era House of Laura Bigger and Burt
Haverly in Chas. Hoyi’s, most famous
farce comedy, "‘A Trip to Chinatown.”
While the play is not new in this city,
it has a history that makes its coming
of more than usual interest. For 650
consecutive performances, it held the
boards at Hoyi’s Theatre, New York.
playing to the capacity of the house.
This has never been approached before,
the longest run previous to that time
being Adonis for 605 times, ending
April 17, 1896.
Mr. Barnes of New York.
At the . Opera House next Monday
night Miss Loraine Hollis is to be the
attraction. ASAMarina in “Mr. Barnes
of New York,” Miss Hollis has scored a.
pronounced success. Her expression
-of-love, despair, and revenge are realis-
tic to the extreme. Her temperament
is exactly suited to the exigences of the
role, and it would be difficult to find 9.
Marina who so perfectly as Miss Hollis
realizes the authorts ideal.
McAuliffc and Greene.
Next week promises to be a memora—
rble one in the theatrical annuals of
HOyt’s Theatre. It will be devoted to
-a series of dramatic presentations by
the new McAuliEe-Greeue Company,
headed by Jere McAulifi'e, the versatile
:singing comedian, and Joseph Greene,
the talented young realistic actor, both
well known not only here but in every
city east of the Mississippi. They will
«give eight performances at popular
vprices, the bill decided upon for the
opening night being, “The Westernsr.”
:Ladies tickets can be obtained at
«either place of advance sale.

'It is not Often that :1 singer who is
not :1 prima donna gets such social
recognition as Jean dc Reszko. His-
narriagc‘to the Countess De Mnillc has
seen chronicled much as if he were a
prince of the blood. Indeed, his mu-
aificence carries out the idea very well.
He has built a palace which he calls
his “cottage Americaine,” as if in ac-
:nowledgement Of the American source
of wealth, and to this fairy abode he
takes his beautiful bride. Is not this
the first time that a male singer has
achieved wealth and fame at the same '
time? Retired prima donnas can be
found all over the world in their own
retreats.
There is surely something about
Thanksgiving which raises it above
an ordinary holiday and puts upon
Americans a responsibility. Whether
we look back at the little group
of Pilgrims giving thanks in the
Wilderness, or at the General stand-
'lng among his half-starved sol-
diers in the snow, or at the
man who laid down his life for his
country, we find examples which we
cannot set aside without ingratitudc.
.Every American woman and man
should remember that we owe our
pleasure to their pain, and that we are
each and all of us bound for their
sakes to keep our national honor clean.

AMERICAN WOMEN RIDE ASTRIDE.
Handsome Costume of New York Woman,
\Vho is a Pioneer in the Fashion.
The new woman will probably ride
horseback nstride. It seems to be in-
evitable. The bifurcated shadow of
the portentous event is already hover-
ing about the Central Park bridle
paths. Chicago already has a number
of women who ride astride. Mr. Mark
Hanna’s daughter. ; it is said, has
adopted the fashion.
In Central Park, New York, on :11-
most any fine day, you may see one
woman in particular who has repudi-
ated the side saddle of the grandmoth-
ers. Miss French is her name—Miss
Pauline French. She livesat the H0-
tcl Gerard. Miss French began rather
IiInidly to ride astride several months
ago, and now she is an enthusiast on
the subject.
“It is the only way for women to
ride,” she said, when asked 110w she
liked it: “You can sit on your saddle
better, hold on better, and get the full
benefit of the exercise better. The gal-
lop ls the best, but I can now ride on
the trot equally well."
Miss French invented a. costume of
her own, adapted to her style of rid-
ing. It consists of a pair of knee
brooches of dark-blue cloth fastened
tightly just below the knee and faced
with black buckskin underneath, to
prcvcnt wear. Meeting those at the
kncc are black riding boots, with sil-
ver spurs. She wears a man’s shirt,
with high turndown collar and dark
tie. and over the entire costume there
is u long coat. made perfectly tight,
double breasted. turndown collar and
lnpcls. slccvcs with just a little fulness.
The skirt of the coat reaches to the
ground, and, when mounted, it opens
at the front and back, allowing- the
graceful full of drapery on each side.
To keep it from flying back it is fas-
tened by a loop and button at the knee
of the brooches. A plain black felt
derby hut. fastened to the head by a
wide rubber band, and a smart riding
stick complete the outfit—Now York

LOST A FlNGER TIP.
Found and Replaced on the Finger- Thirty—
six Hours After the Accident.
A peculiar case is reported in one of
the medical journals of the union of a
severed finger tip thirty-six hours after
the amputation. The stOry comes from
McCook, Neb. A bicycle rider there,
while applying a lubricant to the chain
of his bicycle, caught the index finger
of the right hand between the chain
and the rear sprocket. The pressure
of the opposing surfaces completely
severed the finger at the root of the
nail, cutting through the middle of the
last phalanx. '
The bicyclist went to a physician and
had the wound dressed. The tip of the
finger was picked up by a bystander
and was passed to several people as a
curious . memento of the accident.
Eventually it reached a friend of the
physician who had dressed the wound,
and he took it to the doctor more as a
medical curiosity than anything else.
The patient was sent for, and thirty-,5I
six hours after the accident the tip was
loined t0 the stump of the finger.
Strange to say, the union was effected
311 rit‘lht, and the finger is now almost
as good as it was before the arm-{(11.21
