A Brave Little Woman.
A crowded house greeted Miss Ullie
Akerstrom at Hoyt’s Opera House last
night on her first appearance this sea-
son. The piece presented was “A
Brave Little Woman,” 1:. new play in
three acts, Miss Akerstrom taking the
character of “Dot, ” which she repre-
sented in her usually fine manner. Her
company was entirely new from last
season, and a great improvement over
the‘old one. Nell Allen. a deserted.
wife, as portrayed by Beth Somervilie,
was excellent, as was that of Com
Arlington by Miss Marie Warren. The
Sally O’Brien of Janette Howell was
also true to life. Of the gentlemen, J.
Hooper Wright as Ferrit, the detective,
and Harry Leslie as Percy Allen were
both unusually good. The thieves, as
presented by Messrs. McHugh and
Slater, were ably acted. Miss Aker-
strom also has some excellent voices in
her company, notably those of Miss
Warren and Mr. Wright, who both re-
ceived encores from the audience for
their delightfui solos. To-night “A
Ragged Heroine” will be presented.

‘ lmportant Test Case.
An important test case has been taken
to the supreme court of the United
States to determine the constitutionali-
ty of the Connecticut law which pro-
hibits the transportation of game birds
out of the state. E. M. Geer, an em-
ployee of the Norwich and New York
steamers, was arrested In 1889 for taking
to New York game which he had bought
in Norwich. In the New London police
court he was fined $50, appealed and
lost his case in the higher court. The
case was then taken to the Supreme
court of Connecticut on an alleged
error of the court in finding that the
statute was constitutional so far as it
referred to Gear’s case. In October,
1891, the court handed down an opinion
that there was no error. From this de-
cision a writ of error was sued out by
the defendant in the supreme court of
the United States, and the case is ex-
pected to reach a hearing during the
present term. The pointurged is that
the Connecticut statute interferes with
the commerce between states.
