Nobody who has been wedded more than a month will be accepted as guest. As only two days are required to reach the resort from New York, the promote expects to establish a haven of refuge for honeymoosers that will become popular. At such a place every guest will be oo an equal footing.

In an Interview she Broadway Theater, Manhattan, next Tues-i day night, made her initial bow in "Judy Forgot" at the Hyperion Theater, New Haven, last night.

There was never a lagging moment in the entire play. Every principal caught the pace that Miss Cahlll set and kept It up. Prominent in the cast were Truly Shattuck, Ethel Johnson, Arthur Stanford, Bert Baker, James B. Carson and Joseph Santley. S11-, vlo Heln, the composer, contributed three: songs.

A number of prominent New York theatrical men were in attendance. Including Lee Shubert, Daniel V. Avery Hopwood and Silvio Rein, Jules, Murray, Joeoph Rhinock and Melville It Is gratifying to be appreciated. It Inspires one to still higher thing3. Colonel Roosevelt would probably call "bully." It describes a corrupt public official as "a crook," and everybody un-dertands exactly what that word means.

Recent revelations dragged from the lips of unwilling witnesses by "Prober" Bruce add additional information. Woodruff is at Fontalnbleau, writing his abdication as chairman of. the State Committee.

Charles Frohman's production of De Crolsset and LeBlanc'a "detective play, "Arsene Lupin" will be the attraction at the Broadway Theater next week. Will-lam Courtenay, a young actor who has played leading roles with some of the most distinguished Btars of the present generation, has the leading role. Mr.

In addition to Mr. Courtenay the uuKui ue auuiurizea to oring tne matter to the attention of all worthy applicants for marriage licenses. The promise of a half rate transportation and the guarantee of a real, practical honeymoon trip would Influence many candidates. Tb originator of this Idea would solve th servant problem In a satisfactory way.

As soon as the opportunity for such a a Inducement to marry got noised about, there would be a waiting list. Lovers and sweethearts would arrange for employment in advance of tho ceremonies that made them husbands and wives. Here we have a new foe to raco eulciuef The sad death of George Chavez after he had passed the Alps will find a sigh In every American heart. The younj man's Intrepidity must command admiration throughout the world. An explanation of his final disaster after passing fathomless abysses and Ice-clad peaks is had In stopping his motor too soon.

Tha fall was less than thirty feet; but tha strain of a perpendicular drop was too great on the aeroplane and Its collapse followed. If Chavez had glided xo tha ground he would have escaped injury. His name must forever be a bright one In the aviation gallnxy. A quaint tale is brought to light by tha death of George Clunles Ross who died on the Isle of Wight last week. He was the third ruler in direct descent of the tiny Island empire in the South Seas known as the Cocos Islands.

This smali group, situated southwest of Java did not belong to anybody ninety years ago when Captain Malcolm Ross, a disappointed naval officer, took Possession of the small I arch melaso and ursh mttn I prize Is likely to go to suizer or onepara.

Shepard Is an able lawyer, sound on every reform demanded by the public, and would make an excellent Governor. One defeat for Mayor is remembered and may militate against his chances of selection. General Interest in the Rochester convention Is not likely to be as great as that felt in the Saratoga affair.

Rochester has a score of leaders, Saratoga had but one. Tho Gerry Society should employ a few middle-aged women of calm Judgment to patrol the Riverside and Central Parks and to stop the abuses to which young children are subjected by nurses and mothers with ungovernable tempers. No longer ago than Tuesday afternoon, when taking a walk on the Riverside, I saw a woman strike a 3-year-old child so bard as to throw it down, after which she kicked the little boy with every evi The Body of Aguilera Lying in State.

Those who remember the death of Aguilera, the Idol of his fellow revolutionists who lived in New York after tho close of the Ton Years War, will recollect thnt an honor shown to few foreigners whs accorded him.

Had there been a policeman In sight would have insisted upon that woman's arrest. Maltreatment of children Is a familiar sight to anyone who walks much In the city parks. If mothers knew how their children wero abused they would occasionally exercise personal espionage over nurses sent out with their offspring. Not In years have I heard of a Gerry society agent making an arrest for any such abuse. This is a much better field for activity than preventing children from do-lug a "turn" on tho stage that Involves only a fow minutes' work.

This subject, and plans for maklug the convention a success constlluted the whole programme at the meeting of tha Tenth Assembly District Suffragists, last evening. Mrs. Hewitt W. Barker, the district leader, presided, and gave nn account of hor experiences In visiting the Democratic and Republican conventions.

At the former, she said, the Suffrnge visitors wore received courteously and their plea listened to with Interest. At tho latter they ware not admitted, but the disappointment thus occasioned was mitigated by tho letter received by Mrs. Barker, and rend at last night's meeting, from Representative Charles F. Murphy. In the letter Mr.

Murphy expressed regret at having been unable to grant the Suf-frnglsls request to appear before the convention, but concluded with tho wordB: "I shall be glad to have you attend tha flrst meeting of the Assembly District Committee and will notify you of the tlmo of meeting as promised." The women wero much pleaaed by Mr. Murphy's note and will be prepared to deliver the Suffrage message with moro than usual eloquence when that mooting occurs. Following tho prayer meeting held last night In tho basement of the Greene Avenue Presbyterian Church, on Greene ave-nuo. near Patchen avenue, which was con ducted by the pastor, the Rev. Gurdon H.

Ebgeleton, a special conference was held for the purpose of deciding on the placing of a new iuortgngo on tho edifice. Early In tho spring the building was completely gutted by flro. The church la undergoing extonulve repairs, which will be completed In about two months. Just what the repairing will cost Is not known at present, because the contractors in charge of the work gave rough estimates, dun to the fact that no goueral contract was given out. The church was Insured: for I3S.000 and the damage was eotlmated at 123,000.

At the time of the fire there was a J17.100 mortgage on the building. This debt was paid off with tho Insurance money collected. As tbo canh left over will not foe enough to pay for the repairs, It was decided to place another mortgngo for $13,000 on tho church and adjoining lots owned by It. Last nlght'r meeting whs called for tho purpoBe of aj eelng on this matter.
