Missionary nTeatfns.

A quarterly meeting of the New Haven Women's Baptist Foreign Missionary confer ence was held in the lecture room of the Cal vary Baptist church yesterday afternoon The principal address was by Mrs. pr. s. D. Phelps. She urged upon her hearers the duty of doing all in their power for foreign missions whether the heathen were saved or not If they saved for home work to the ex- clnsion of foreign work they would soon find, the speaker thought, but little to save. The necessity of saving the women in China from the terrible condition in which they are placed in regard to the marriage contract was earnestly and intelligently referred to as well as many other facts connected with and closely related to the work of missionary women in bettering the condition of their class in foreign lands.
 Miss Raymond read an original story enti- tied ''Milk and Missions" which in half humorous way showed how to save money for the mission cause.
 An interesting letter from Miss Gates, a foreign missionary, was read by Mrs. Jerome and another written by 8 native girl in In- dia who had been converted to Christianity was read by Mrs. Thompson.
 The reports of the secretary and treasurer, which were read, showed the society to be in . healthy condition.

Entertainments.


 Lang's Comedy company in "Scheming" give . very interesting performance, and those who like fun should see them this af- ternoon or evening, as they conclude their engagement to night.
 CARRIE SWAIN
 A large audience greeted Carrie Swain, the favorite American soubrette at the New Haven Opera House last evening in her new play, "True Blue." The play was well re- ceived and is well adapted to the actress, and the audience was kept in the best of humor by the comicalities with which the play abounds. It made decided hit. Tae support was good. There will undoubt- edly be good houses at the matinee and ev- ening performance of .'True Blue" to-day.
 THE MKADo.
 The first presentations of Gilbert & Sulli- vans new opera ssThe Mikado'' in New Ha-' ven were given at Bunnell's Museum by the Corinne opera company yesterday afternoon and evening. The opera was put upon the stage with every attention to detail in regard to stage settings, costumes and stage proper ties. It was the greatest artistic success with which MT. Bunnell has yet favored his patrons. All the members of the company did their level best, the choruses were all rendered in good time and tune and the eff. feet of the fine singing was increased by some original Japanese gestures. Little Corinne-we shall have to stop calling her 'tlittle" if she continues to wear long dress ss-never appeared to better advantage than as 'Yum Yum" Her efforts were ably seconded by her sisters, 'tPitti Sing" Miss Bertie Hoyet'o, and "Peep-Bo" Miss Edith BelIeville), and it would require native of Japan to decide which of the three maidens in chancery danced the best or hirted the worst. Miss Kimball did fairly we'll az 'Katisha," but her voice was hardly equal to the quite difficult music she had to sing. MT. Harry Clarke deserves special mention for his painstalking rendition of "Nanki Poo." Of course the part of ''Ko-Ko" was we'll taken by MT. Sturges, but he showed 8 disposition two or three times to allow the comedy to sink to the level of farce. Mir. Fisk made an admirable s'Pooh Bahp and MT. Ward as "Pish Tosh" had many opportunities to dis play his wonderful voice. Among the gems of the opera were "Pm sure they'd not be missed" by "Ko-Ko;" the kissing song by "Yum Yum" and ''Nanki- Poo; 'the quartetby " Yum Yum" "Nanki-Poo," "Pitti- Sing" and s'Ko-Ko" at the beginning of the second act, and the trio, Here's How To Do. p which immediately followed; the quintette HSes what gifts the fates allot' and the duet "Thers's beauty in old age.p The perform ance will be repeated this afternoon and evening. It is a charming opera we'll pre- sented and has merit enough to run g week if Mr. Bunnell sees fit to produce it.

LnI Tha poor Indian.

The great event of the year in the Mohegan country, on the west bank of the Thames, the annual harvest festival of the Indians is now in progress. Sole relic of the barbar ous days of this valiant tribe, it's peaceful, gaudy attractions charm the white papooses and draw in the pale-faces in great numbers. This festival is held whenever the sugar corn of the natives is ''in it's fullest milk" and the scant remnant of this copper-colored band style it 'tThe Welcome to the Wig wam" An enormous domed tent or taher- nacle is first woven out of green vines and saplings near the old Mohegan fort overlook ing the river, and backed by the historic 10, 900 ton boulder, which still stands, the won der of the Mohegan country. Inside this immense emerald mound is fantastically dec- orated with all sorts of gayly-hued needle and bead work, elaborate feather headgear. fancifully stained and tipped bows and ar rows and lances, and colored baskets in all the shapes and sizes known to the savage world.
 The feast from the corn plant is the attrac- tion for older visitors. Banks of delicious "succotash" made from green corn and beans set out and the famous dish of "yokeag" and milk The latter was the most delicate dish known to the Indian. ''Yokeag" is parched sweet corn pulverized. When pos sible the festival is held in the full of the moon, and continues for three nights and three days. It is to help the weak ones of the tribe. Yearly the number of Indians in attendance decreases, and before long the last of the tribe of Uncas will be gone.
