Wanda fn Nordeck.

Concerning Kathryn Kidder, who played Wanda in ''Nordeck" at Carll's Opera House last evening and the evening before, the New York Clipper says:
 A young girl is playing Wanda in Frank Mayo's "Nordeck" company, who is, unless we are much mistaken, destined to gain 8 very considerable prominence among Ameri- can actresses. Kathryn Kidder was born in Newark, N. J., in 1869, as we are informed by those who know her life most intimately, and is the daughter of Colonel H. M. Kid der, late of the United States army and now of the Chicago Qll.) board of trade. The present home of the Kidders is Evanstown, just outside of Chicago. Miss Kidder manifested decided taste for the stage when quite young, and in January of this year her parents sent her to join the Lyceum School of Acting in this city. In one week leaving there, she was privately coached for the succeeding two duced Frank Mayo to come to New York and see his pupil. Mir. Mayo engaged her at once, and she joined his company in Chica- go, in which city, March 25 1885, at the Columbia theater, she made her first appear ance on the professional stage, play ing Lucy Fairweather in "The Streets of New York" April 1 follow ing at the Pittsburg (Pa.) Opera House, she assumed the role of Wanda in Mayo's "Nor- deck" for the first time, has played it owe, 100 times since and will continue to play ii all this season. Her metropolitan debut was made May 18th. Miss Kidder is tall and slender demi- blonde, with an oval face ano large, expressive eyes. Up to her appear ance in public she had been but a few time. in theater

THE LATE VICE PRESIDENT.

The News of His Death in This City
 His Visit Here and Participation
 in Yalc Gonna encement Exercises.
 The late Vice President Hendricks, it will be remembered, was in this city an honored guest of Yale college at it's last commence 4<2ssE anfl zzaelivered the oration at sCentel graduating exercises. He was also the lion of the occasion at the brilliant reception given by the Law school in the evening With his fine physique, commanding pres ence and healthful appearance he bade fair to all appearances to attain to advanced old age. He was also one of the speakers at the Yale alumni meeting. The news of his death, which was announced at an early hour last evening on the COURIER bulletin, spread rapidly about the city and caused much sur prise, doubt and inquiry When the news was confirmed steps were taken by several Chapel street merchants to drape their store fronts in mourning, and several stores wore the tokens of regret late in the evening.

 Miss Louisa Boss, niece of J. S. Mettler, the baker, will be married to Frederick Greuner to-day by Rev. MT. Siebke. Efforts were made all day yesterday to re- cover the body of Godfrey Morris, the col ored man who came to so untimely an end Tuesday. Although the men who were en- gagged in dragging the river worked hard, their efforts were unavailing and will probably be thought, must have been carried out to sea by the strong current that prevailed when the extraordinarily high tide of Tuesday be- gan to ebb, or else is now entangled in the bottom of the river up at Lewis bridge, where it may have been carried by the under currents It is supposed that the unfortun- ate man had about $70 on his person at the time the accident occurred as he had been paid off only short time previous. Morris was supposed to have been worth between s3, 900 and $4, ,OOO as he had always been in dustrious and frugal.
 The news of the death of Vice President Hendricks was received in Fair Haven about 6 o'clock last night and caused much excite ment Many people at first refused to be- lieve that the report was true and during the evening little else was talked of on the streets.
 It seemed yesterday as though less prepa- ration was being made to celebrate Thanks giving this year than in previous years, but towards evening the trade in turkeys and other Thanksgiving provender became more brisk. Quite number of people will eat their Thanksgiving dinner out of town and few from out of town will gather around the festive boards of relatives or friends here. At the East Pearl street Methodist church all the churches except the Episcopal will join in union service and the different pastors will make remarks or take part in the service. St. James and Grace Episcopal churches will as usual hold special services in the morning.
 Arthur Bradley and wife, of North Quin- nipiac street, were at the watch house on the bar, where MT. Bradley is employed as watch man, Tuesday. The high tide wet every thing in the house through and through, the water standing eighteen inches deep on the floor.
