MISS ANNIE FIRMIN's BENEFIT LAST ENE.
ING.
The crowded and Intelligent audience
that assembled at the Opera House last
night to enjoy Shakespeares charm
ing love story of Romeo and Juliet
must have been very gratifying to the
bright star of the Company. Miss Annie
Firmin, and if she was pleased, we can
answer for the delight OF the auditors,
who were treated to SO grand represen-
tation of this famous play. Miss Firmin.
as the heroine. was an ideal Juliet, and
the frequent applacse that greeted her
efforts, evinced the satisfaction of the
crowded assemblage. Mr.. William Har-
court deserves praise for his Romeo. Katie
Firmin was an admirable nurse, and
John Jack was the Ffiar to the life.
Nan, the Good: for nothing, supplement
ed the play, and sentall home in excel
lent hnmor. The Company play again

A circular from the editors, Messrs

notifies us of the revival of this well

pleasure, for while the North State was

Several Nufsances Abated-The Sam
 ftary Inspection Moving Slowly.
 The Board of Health held a meeting last evening, Professor Brewer presiding. There was considerable discussion as to the power of streets abolished. Professor Brewer stated that it was not the intention of the commit tee who were instrumental in obtaining the law that all privies on severed streets should be abolished as a nuisance.
 Dr. Lindsley was of the opinion that where the vault could be abolished it ought. to be. It was the idea of the committee to abolish those vaults which were near to houses where the offensive matters could be perco- lated through the ground into cellars, wells and cisterns and were detriment to public health.
 The Board voted to suspend the order re. moving vault at No. Al High street. Several vaults on Orange street near the corner of Court street belonging to MT. Heller and J, T. Whittelsey were ordered filled and demoI- ished.
 A cesspool on the lot 39 Winthrop avenue three feet from @ well in use was ordered abated.
 Dr. Gilbert called the attention of the Board to catch basin on the corner of South Front and Pierpont streets. The surplus water from the engine house and family slops were allowed to run through the gut ters and stood in the basin, making a very unpleasant odor. The Board were of the opinion that the matter should be handed to the city attorney.
 Health Officer Lindsley reported that the sanitary inspectors were not getting along as rapidly as intended. The inspectors were new men and the blank used for reports re quired considerable writing, which consumed large part of their time. Many untrappec sinks were found which required carefu watching. The Board voted that the old in spectors serve the necessary notices, anG watch the cases as if reported originally b, Aem.

This was the universal expression when people met yesterday. The soda fountains did 8 rushing business and lager beer pumps were kept busy. The sale of straw hats made the dealers laugh and the trade in parasols and sun umbrellas took an upward turn Horse car travel on the West Haven road was larger than any day this season and Savin Rock hotel keepers and restaurateurs were made richer by the loads of perspirine humanity that were set down at their very doors. The owners of teams and those who could afford to hire divided between the east and west shores as their fancies dictated. Those who spend their summers at the shore and have not already gone to their cool retreats hurried up their preparations for departure, intending to es- cape the dust and heat of the city as soon as possible. The heat crowded the quicksilver in the thermometers close up to the nineties, and in some sections of the city reports came that it was quite up to those figures. Ser geant Sherman of the weather bureua, how ever, who is authority for heat and cold, re- ports the highest point reached as S90, and when it reached there it was 10th to return to reasonable figures. At 12 o'clock last night the indicator" at the COURIER office recorded 800 and no indications that it would indicate anything lower before morning Whew!

 Ress-Talk About The PostoGice PO-
 sitiOn.
 An old citizen of New Haven long conver- sant with WestvilIe and it's affairs, speaking
 of the village now as compared with thirty
 years ago, said recently: Westville has retro
 graded as far as business is concerned, while
 on the other hand it has doubled in popula-
 tion and buildings in the last thirty years. A generation ago we had fewer houses but more shops than now. Then we had many people who lived in the city and came out here to work in the shops; now it is the other way. Thirty years ago we had for one shop the Pitches, the same that is now in the { city on East street, foot of Wooster. This shop was where Harrison's mills are now same location. The old shops were burned ! down. Then we had out here the augur, bit and gimlet shop, where about sixty men were employed. Then also sixty or | seventy men were employed at the Blake ! shop, where now business is very quiet. So | also where the Pond Lily paper mill is now we had c. Hotchkiss' axle shop, which was destroyed by fire. At about that time also MT. B. P. Merriman carried on the brass bus mess here, where now the match factory is. About the only manufactory we have now that is doing much is the match shop. We have four paper mills, but they do not alto gether give work to as many men as one of the old shops did, which are now no more We are, however, as I said, growing-slowly to be sure as compared with other sections of the town, but still we are making prog ress
 Another Westville man said: There is not much excitement in Westville over the post office prize. It is because competition for it is not very strong. The pay attached to the
 position is $1,10O year, but out of this the postmaster has to pay the office rent and the salary of
 of about $500: The present postmaster, MT.
 Finney, furnished the office with lock boxes a
 few years ago at his own expense. We are
 told that this is fact, that he paid for the boxes out of his own pocket and that the government gets all the pay that comes from the rental of these boxes. So, if this is so
 MT. Finney did not have very fat office in the year that he furnished the boxes, to say
 the most. The only persons we hear spoken of ss likely to get the office are Mir. Terriu the grocer, and Mir. Isbell the blacksmith
 and cider mill man. Both are qualified for
 the position and can get bondsmen. Both
 are good Democrats, but, of the two, people
 around hers rather favor MT. Isbell, who
 is an old soldier and war veteran and
 has other claims that go into the scale in his
 favor. No doubt MT. Isbell well merits the
 small honor of the position.

Death Of Mrs. manvf1Ie.

Mrs. Ellen J., wife of Perry S. Manville, of 587 Elm street, died at the residence ot Colonel Manville in Woodbridge yester- day. Her mother died in this city at the residence of MT. Manville 8 short time ago. The daughter was ill at this time and after her mothers death, by advice of her physi- cians, went to Woodbridge hoping that 8 change of air would prove beneficial Dis ease, however, had taken too deep hold up- on her system, and after lingering short time she yielded up her life. The funeral will take place in Woodbridge on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock
