Entertainments.

Miss Edith O'Gorman, widely known as
 ''The Escaped Num-" who embraced Protest antism and was for six years an inmate of St. Joseph's Convent, Jersey City, will de- liver her lecture ''Life in a Convent" at Carlrs Opera House next Wednesday evening, Nov. I7. She has delivered this lecture in every part of the Union.
 MR. sPAULDING's LECTURES.
 The last lecture in MT. Spaulding's inter esting course will be given at the Grand Opera House next Wednesday evening on ''Greek Sculpture in Rome.'' This will be a careful study of the best examples of Greek statuary that were brought from the land where they were wrought to the capital of the conquering Romans. These statues are seen to far better advantage when thrown upon the screen under a concentrated light than in the shape of expresslonless casts Not only will views of the more familiar mas- ter pieces be shown, but there will be many specimens taken from the famous Torlonia collection, which has been lately opened and has been seen only by the most recent tour ists Admission tickets, with reserved seat, can be obtained at Judd's bookstore for fifty and seventy-five cents, according to location. THE RIVALS. The presentation of Sheridan's play, "The Rivals' at the New Haven Opera House last evening, was greeted by an audience that tested the seating capacity of the house to the utmost, and that thoroughly apprecia- ted the great treat that was given them. This grand comedy, which has so many times been presented to delighted audiences, each time reflects new credit on the genius of its renowned author. It has never been given in this city with a better cast of characters, and has never been received with more en- thusiasm than last evening. The character of Bob Acres" was sustained by Joe Jetfer- son in a capital manner, and though during the first part of the play ''Rip" would force himself upon the mind, he finally entirely disappeared in the realistic manner in which the puffed-up country squire was portrayed. In the support MT. Jefferson was most ably assisted. and the honors were quite equally divided By Mrs. John Drew and Miss Rosa Rand the characters of "AIrs. Malaprop" and stIytia Languish" were sustained in charm ing manner The misuse of language by the concelted ana proud old laoy kept the audl- ence in state of convulsiye laughter, and her whole performance was piece of acting worthy of thezartist. Mir. Frederic Robin son and Mir Maurice Barrymore were capital in their respective parts. doing full justice to the characters, and their successful efforts were thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. Miss Adenie Stephens, Mir. Charles Waverly, My Harry Taylor, Mir. Thomas Jefferson and MT. J. Galloway, the other members of the company, gave to the cast completeness which made the entertainment one of the greatest theatrical treats that has been or will be had in this city for some time. This after noon ''The Rivals" will be repeated, and this evening MT. Jefferson will appear as Rip Van winkle.''

wope.fn Connecticut.

Secretary Evarts, in supplement to his work on labor and wages, gives schedule of the average amounts paid to laborers and a number of varieties of skilled labor. From this table it appears that in the matter of laborers, Connecticut pays more than any other State east of Michigan except Massa- chusetts, the average being 1928. month without board, and $14.09 with board. In the extreme western States the rates are nat urally high and the Connecticut rate is ex- ceeded by Michigan Minnesota, Iowa, Ne brasla. California, Oregon, Colorado and several of the Territories. The lowest aver age is ill South Carolina, S10.38 without, and $7 .32 with board. For days wages of car penters it leads all the east and middle States except Massachusetts, but is surpassed bv a number of southern and western States The average is $2. For blacksmiths' wages Connecticut leads all the eastern and middle and most of the southern States. The rate is >S2.O9. In machine makers wages the case is nearly the same The rate IS $2 50, and is far above that of the eastern States, of the middle States and of many of the western States. In shoemakers' wages Massachusetts has again the advantage of Connecticut by a very small amount, record ing S1 SS to Connecticut's $1.Sj, and the latter State again leads the group of States previously mentioned.
 The highest wages in each class are $42; 65 month for labor in Nevada, $4.33 day for carpenter work in Nevada, $5.75 day for machine work in the same State, and f5. .OO for shoemaking, still in the same State The highest wages are of course paid in places where there is least of the labor that is quoted but the comparison among States that are under nearly the same conditions, and pursuing much the same industries, has considerable interest and value for manufac- turers and workmen. This, of course, is only small part of the use of such series of tables, which are meant more directly for students of political economy, and need care full study to produce trustworthy differences.

The South church, New Britain, Thursday, contained large and brilliant assemblage gathered to witness the marriage of Mr. Charles E. Wetmore and Miss Estelle Corbin, daughter of Mir. Andrew Corbin. Two arches composed of evergreens and white carna tions were arranged, one over each of the two main aisles, and one in front of the pulpit, the latter having floral umbrella suspended from it, and under which the bridal couple took position. The name of the bride ap- peared on the arch under which she passed going in, and her new name on that as she passed out. The Rev. MT. Cooper performed the marriage ceremony, and MT.

Dady is probably not fatally injured, but will be laid up for some time. Two large fellows by the name of l Sweden have been arrested and will prob ably have hearing to-day. Further devel- opments tend to show that the Sweedens | acted in self-defence.
