Rehearsing Fatinifza.

Tine Pr0gresa Made by Palmer & UInsK's
 New Haven Ideals.
 The New Haven Opera House was illumi-z mated with the soft rays of the footlights last evening and inc stage was tho scene of 8 re- hearsal of Q new company which will soon. take it's place among other aspirants for pop- uIar favor. To train a company composed mainly of amateurs is work of considerable magnitude, requiring patience, energy, care and money. The members of the Palmer and UlmeE opera company are neR to the operatic stage, but they have been under the direction and training of Mir. Max Figman, of Baltimore, for long time now, and the rehearsal last night bore evidence to the efficiency of the director. Thecompany sang well together, the chorus es were even and showed but few of those ragged edges which are inevitable in a raw chorus. The volume of sound is large enough to fill any opera house
 The first scene in Fatinitza, the winter scene, where the army is in camp and the Bashi- -Bazouks rush in and carry of Princess Lydia and Fatiniiza, as set in the New Ha- ven Opera House, is extremely artistic and well executed. It was painted by compe- tent artist. The other scenes are equally fine.
 Of the soloists in the new opera company
 
 singers that will develop into ornaments to the stage The performance of Miss Jessie Leigh of Hartford, who is cast for the part of Fatinitza, WAS both in respect to her act ing and singing worthy of a.mores expefi- enced singer. The ladyas voice is naturally soprano and her handling of the lower notes in which the part abounds showed at times that the music was not suited to her. But her singing in the famous duet near the open ing of the second act was very fine. Her acting is energetic, easy and graceful. She evidently has thrown her whole heart into the part and will sustain it ably. She will | undoubtedly make hit.
 | Miss Korn, of Meriden, takes the part of Princess Lydia She has pure, sweet so- prano voice, of good range, of flexible quail 1 ties She has had the advantage of a long study with Signor Arrani, of New York, with | whom Abbott and Thursby studied. She also has taken part in private theatrica,s in Meriden and has been under the direction of | Prof. Foster, of Meriden. She is ambitious 1 and desires to make the stage profession | The male solists are MT. Harry Hilliard of New York, Thomas Bepham of Meriden and 1 Max Figman of Baltimore. Mir. Hilliard as Julian Hardy, the Herald reporter, gave an | intelligent performance. His voice is 8 1 tenor. full and round, though lacking a trife of that msllowness that is the charm of Mir. | Fessenden's voice, who made such hit in the part. With little more study he will do l well. Mir. Benham as Keutuchoff is very good, he having resonant, deep bass voice, | well under control. He needs to tone down his acting, however. With the training that l the company will get next week it is safe to predict they will give performance that will both surprise and please New Haven audi | ence.

And now, says the Boston Sunday Globe, comes the Merchants Electric Light and
 Power company, whose beautiful white lights shine in this city to the number of $50, and deposes and says that it's new lighting station on Congress street is to be the largest and best equipped in the world, that such is the economy of it's system that it defies com- petition, that it is about to increase it's capac- ity to 1000 lights, and that 1t is earning 10 per cent. on it's capital, and can earn twice as much when it's new station is complete and running. And now it offers a block of fla treasury stock at SIP 50 per share, which, in view of these facts, is better worth that price now than it was $lO share two months aco.

The Father of Lulu ThOmpsOn, Who
 Died at KaaG's Hotel Recently, Arrives
 in che City and Tells of His Daughters
 Life.
 The father of Mrs. Lulu Thompson, who died Wednesday morning at Kings Hotel, this city, arrived in the city yesterday from Norwalk. His name is D. B. Warehouse and he gives much information that is interesting in regard to the life of his daughter. He says that Lulu married about ten years ago William Dan, son of W. E. Dan. a wealthy hvsryman of Norwalk. The couple were happy and devoted to each other, but their bliss was short lived, fer William Dan died one month after their marriage. After time the daughter married again. Edward Thomp- son, her second husband, was established in the hotel business by Mir. Morehouse, who gave him over $2, 500. He ran the Connecti- cut House, NorWalk, but he wasted the op- portunity he had and the business soon ran down. He also was in the habit of taking lewd women into the house. Re gradually broke his Rife's heart and wrecked her life. She took to drinking and Thompson finally obtained divorce on the ground of fntem- perance. The divorced wife hastened to de- strnction. Thompson is now 8 bartender in 8 Danbury hotel
 The medical examiner did not conclude his autopsy yesterday. He examined parts of the body microscopically. The stomach was found to be badly inAamed and it re- quires considerable careful examination to ascertain whether alcoholism caused death. It is probable that the result of the autopsy will be made known to-day
 The body of the unfortunate woman will be taken to Westport to day for burial in the Warehouse family lot there A. M. Joy and George Weed, of Milford, will have charge of the remains. Mir. Warehouse pays the ex- penses of the burial &
 The part Joy had played in the matter has been to all appearance about as tnear as that of the good Samaritan as people of the pres- ent day approximate. He did all hs could to save her from drink. While she was at the Union House he left strict orders that no liquor should be given her. She came to him sick and he did all he could for her. He is gentlemanly appearing man and is vel connected.
