ARD FROM MANAGER ELDRIDGE.

In assuming the sole management of the American Theatre I wish to state that the policy of the house will remain the same as when during the past eighteen weeks I was it's director. It shall be my end and aim to establish in New Haven what the city has never before had, first-class variety thea Ire conducted on frst-class principles and playing none but frst-class artists. I shall, as heretofore, exclude all objectionable fea- lures and give entertainments that for their purity of character and amusement affording qualities will win for me the confidence of and draw to my theatre the ladies and chil- dren, who can rest assured that so long as am manager of the American Theatre they need have no doubts as to the morality of the entertainments given there. It is my sin cerest wish to establish 8 family theatre, and should the New Haven public deem me worthy of their patronage, they will find that confidence in me will never be abused.

There was one of the largest audiences of the season at Carlrs Opera House last evening to witness the presentation of ''Ours" by the Sarsfeld Guard Dramatic association As piece of amateur acting it was success and the actors held the attention of the audience from first to last. A feature of the evening was the superb exhibition drill by the con- pany between the first and second acts. The execution of the manual of arms, including firing both standing and kneeling, without any command or signal whatever, was simply perfect and called forth continued bursts of applause. The ladies and gentlemen who took part in the play itself deserve great credit for the proficiency in the dramatic art they displayed last evening. It is hard to particularize, but Miss Maggie Gallagher, Miss Madge Roberts, Miss Mamie Heath, MT. A. c. Hilsdorf, M. J. O'Connor and Mir. James l. Hayes deserve special mention for having ably sustained the leading roles. The association are also to be congratulated upon the financial success of the undertaking, as the receipts overbalanced the expenses by Large majority" /"

Mr.. Jesse CARL, the yacht builder of
Northport, l.. l., and number of his
friends, intend to present to Miss Emma
Hamilton, daughter of Capt. William
Hamilton, gold medal as an expression
of their high esteem for the gallantry she
displayed few days ago in trying to
save the life Of William Beebe. Mr.. A..
NJ. Hamilton of Northport gives the fol-
lowing account of the gallant girls BRAY
cry on the occasion in question; Emma
was sitting on the shore some distance
away from where young Beebe went in
swimming, when she heard a lady calling
for help and asking if there was any one
on the beach that could swim. She at
once ran up to where the lady was, and,
pulling off her shoes, jumped into the
water and swan near to the where Beebe
sank. She diyed after him but could
not find him. She then swan rapidly
ashore, straining every nerve, and after
calling John Murray to her assistance,
got a row-boat, and with him rowed
around the place where the lad had dis
appeared. In a few moments they dis
covered the body lying on the bottom.
The brave girl leaving Murray in the
the boat, once more swan ashore. Be
fore she reached the land she shouted to
those on the beach to get an oyster rake
for her, she still having hope of saving
the lads life. On reachingthe shore she
obtained the tongs within few seconds
and with them in her hands swan back
to the boat and gave them to Murray,
who fished up the body with them. They
placed the body in the boat and rowed
to shore.
Every effort was made to restore the
poor lad to life, but the vital spark had
fled. Perhaps if the girl had been in
the water at the time the boy was drown
ing she might have saved him, but still
there is no telling, for he is nearly as
large as she is, and maybe he might have
dragged her down with him. She il only
Is years old The dead boy was IA years

fact that she was unable TO save the lad,
though she did everything she could to

A WOMAN'S GRIT AND GRIP.
Holding by the Gown somnambulist Who
Was Suspended from window.
Atlanta Constitution.

Last night a lady who resides on Ivy
street was "at home" to quite a number of
her friends, and a pleasant evening was
the result. Before the hour for separa-
ton had arrived, however, one of the
guests of the lady was taken quite i'll and
was escorted to a bedroom, where she
was disrobed and made to feel as easy a.
every possible kindness could offer
About twelve o'clock she fell into quiet
sleep, and the young lady who was watch
ing by her side thinking that her guest
had forgotten her ills in sweet slumber,
lay down upon a sofa beside a window in
the room, and was soon lost to the cares
of this world. How long she slept she
does not know, but while in the midst of
q pleasant dream she felt something brush
across her face, and, with a start, awoke.
Her awaking saved the life of her friend,
but came near causing her own death.
The something which brushed across
her face and awoke her was the night
dress of that friend, who had. in a SOM
nambulistic fit, arisen from her bed and
walked across the room to the window
beside which the lady was sleeping. To
get TO the window she crawled over the
sleeping form of her host, and then be-
gan an exit which must have resulted in
death but for the work of her gown.
Hardly realizing what she was doing, the
lady grabbed the white fabric which had
aroused her, with both hands, and as she
did so her ears were greeted with screams
Just outside the window. In an instant
she realized that she was holding her
friend in mid-air and that to loosen her
grasp on the cloth was to insure her
death. She was not physically strong,
but with nerve rarely equalled she
tightened her hold and then joined in
with her friends call for aid. Soon their
combined screams awoke the inmates of
the house, who FASTENED to the room and
rescued the young lady from her aerial
position. As soon as the somnambulist,
for such she acknowledged herself to be,
was drawn into the room, the young lady
who saved her tainted, and this morning
her nervous prostration is so great that
her friends are in great anxiety for her.
