rhe New TeIephone Directory.

The new State directory of subscribers of the Southern New England Telephone com- pany is now being received by subscribers. It has 176 pages, including numerous advertisements. New Haven has 25 pages of the book, Hartford 19 pages, Bridgeport 15, Meriden 6. In the New Haven division are included East Haven, Centerville, Cheshire, Hamden, Merwin's Point, Montowese, Mt. Carmel, Northford, Orange, Tyler City, West Haven, Whitneyville, Woodbridge and Woodmont. The Branford branch office connects with twelve villages, and there is also Milford branch office.
 Under the new plan subscribers now must call by numbers instead of by name, as heretofore. This is the call system adopted in the large exchanges of the country. The intermingling of pages of advertisements with the system of number calls is more profitable to the company's exchequer than it is convenient to those using the phone. Like every such work, 1t has few errors where 1t undertakes to give the residences and business places. The wire numbers, however, are no doubt correct, and they are the especially important feature except to strangers.
 Each telephone has number. The COURIER rooms, for instance, are 101-4. When 6 subscriber wants to call the COURIER rooms he should ask the operator to give him 101-4. This done, according to the directo- ", 'sthe operator must repeat the call back to you," and after that the business may proceed. It may take some time to fall into the use of numbers, but 1t Is done in other cities and it will save annoyance, for now every call has to be translated into numbers at the central office.

oONGREGATIOSAL CLUB.

Its First Meeting Since she Summer
 Vacatien-A Fine Address by Prof.
 BascOm of Williams College.
 The Congregational club met last evening at the Church of the Redsemer lecture room. The room was well filled. After supper the club listened to an address of rare interest by Rev. Prof. Bascom of Williams college, ex- president of Ann Arbor college, Michigan. He occupies the chair of metaphysics at Will Hams, which was filled by the late Mark Hopkins. He arrived in this city on an eys- ming train and took a carriage direct to the lecture room where the assembly was await ing his arrival. The subject of his address was "The pulpit and politics." It was a very brilliant address, full of acute reasoning and logical deductions, and incisive, suggestive thought. He took the ground that the pull pit with it's mighty power should teach men the truth, not in political homilies, not by assailing political preferences or hobbies, but by setting up such standard of purity and excellence in thought and living as should win men to it and elevate men intellectually, morally and spiritually. The speaker took high ground for the pulpit. His address oc- cupied about an hour and a half and was heard with rapt attention and great satisfac- ton by all present. Dr. Darlington, president of the club, presided.
 To fill the vacancy in the secretaryship of the club caused by the death of Rev. s. J. N. Merwin the club elected Rev. Mr. ". J. Mutoh, pastor of the Howard avenue Com greeational church.

 The writer was at one time associated with Barnum in the manufacture of pocket cut 1ery and now think it would be well to get Gf possiblel his mind on general and specific free importation. I can't now think Barnum likes Cleveland's course of action. I wish knew his mind as to Cleveland anyway. You know P. T. Barnum is all right, so yo will not mistake him for William H.

The Fire Department Saves What
 Would Have Been a Big Fire fn
 Spencer d MaHGhews' Paint and OH
 Establishment.
 ? A big fire was averted last night in Spencer & Matthew's oil and paint establishment at 241 and 243 State street by the timely arrival of the fire department.
 Shortly after 12 o'clock German fellow came rushing up to Officer Pickering, who was on Grown street near Church, telling the officer that there was a fire in Spencer & Matthews building. The establishment is located at the foot of Grown street, and as the officer looked that way he saw the whole second story illuminated by the flames. As he was near Church street he thought the fire department could reach the scene of the fre quicker by striking the alarm from box 25 than by running back to State street. The fire was confined to some boxes on the second floor which contained glasses filled with oil. One stream of water was enough to quench the flames. The front door of the building was broken open by the fremen to gain an entrance.
 Spontaneous combustion was undoubtedly the cause of the fire. Had the department not been so timely in arriving the whole building would soon have been in blaze, as the paints and oils are easily consumable commodities. The damage will amount to about $200, covered by insurance.
 Thirteen Heirs Already.
 Maier Zunder, administrator of the estate of the late Peter 0. Fisher, has discovered thirteen heirs already. Fisher was an old State street music dealer, and managed to save about &, 900.

Entertainments. DAoa-rH 1AoH


 MT. J. N. Hills Union Square Theater company in Sydney Rosenfeld's comedy "A Possible case," drew quite large audience at the Hyperion Theater last evening. The play is an admirable one, and was put upon the stage with the original scenery, property and cost1mes. The company is the best that has visited us this season, and gave an unusually lively and interesting performance of the unusually clever comedy. The largest share of the applause was given to Mr. H. A. Kennedy, whose capital impersonation of "Otto BrinksrhoE" will not soon be forgot ten. Mrs. Georgie Drew Barrymore, as "Violet Mendoza, !" and MT. Robert Hilliard, as SAllen Weeks" were both excellent and we'll received. GA Possible Case" will be repeated tonight and tomorrow evenings and will doubtless attract the large audiences 1t deserves.
 OVER THE GARDEN WALL.
 ''Over the Garden WalI'' pleased two large audiences at the Grand yesterday. The company is @ good one throughout. Dan Mason proves himself worthy successor of George s. Knight in the role of ''5. Julius Snitz." Ben. F. Grinnell, last here with Stanley Macy in "The Kindergarten" plays the versatile part of "Julius Snitz, Jr.," in 6 way that keeps the audience continually in 8 roar of laughter. James Russell, as "Our Own Bridget" is given big opportunity. and he makes the most of it. The special ties of the Russells were well received. E. H. Van Veghten and Richard Leab show to advantage. Of the ladies Miss Rosita Wor- rell, Estelle Gilbert and Nellie Bowers lead, with Misses Ollie Craig, Evelyn Pollock and Norvilla Young as good second. In the Mu- scum hall is Prof. Johnson with his spirit cabinet act.
 PROF. GLEASON. Prof. O. R. Gleason, the king of horse trainers, began weeks engagement of even- ing performances at the polo rink last night. The entertainment is worthy of patronage.
 THE BosToNIANs.
 The Bostonian opera company will appear at the Hyperion Friday and Saturday with Saturday matinee. "Dorothy" will be given Friday and Saturday evenings and "Mignon" will be sung Saturday afternoon. There are seventy-three people in the company and the scenery and costumes are new. The sale of seats begins this morning.
