The Big Bells of Russia.

The Russians have a passion for biz
bells. There are numbers of them in
Moscow. In the tower Of Ivan, III the
kremlin. hangs Il sixty ton bell which il
rung only three times Il year, and then
the combined efforts of three men are re
quired TO swing the hammer Above this
hang forty bells of various dimensions, 4
mountain of metal capable of emitting
the most deafening sounds. The Rus
slams are as enthusiastic as they are a
superstitious race, and they are nothing
If not demonstYltive at their festivals.
On Easter eve a deathlike silence reigns
throughout magnificent Moscow. Sud
denly at midnight, from the tower of
Ivan the mighty congregation of bells
peals forth III a tumultuous and dis
cordant crash Then the bells of the en-
tire city join in the metallic uproar. and.
as if this were not enough, the cannon Of
the kremlin join in the chorus, and the
people rush headlong into the streets,
crying Christ is risen Christ is risen
from the ead!"-Boston Herald.

A Large ana Representative Audience
 Successful Opening of the Season.
 The Hyperion was completely filled last evening with an audience representing the culture and fashion of New Haven. The oc casion was the opening of the Gounod socie- tvs second season. This society has gained the popular verdict and last night confirmed the good impression already made by them. They were assisted by Miss Lizzie Webb Cary and the New York Philharmonic club. Miss Cary is new to New Haven audiences, but last night revealed in her the careful and pains- taking artist. She has 6 soprano voice of much compass, clear and resonant, which she used with dignity and effect in the difficult solos with the chorus. Her ballads were ren- dered with much taste and feeling. Of the work of the chorus nothing can be said but in words of praise. Under the able leadership of Mir. Agramonte they surmounted all difi- culties and sang with the experience of vete rans. In power, delicacy and intelligence they maintained that high standard reached last winter. Some few details of criticism might be made, but the whole effect was ex- cellent. This chorus is by far the best New Haven has had in many years. Miss Ger trude Sanford as the accompanist of the club filled her very important part admirably. The Philharmonic sextette added delightful variety to the programme. Their work was simply perfect. The Gounod society is to be congratulated on suspicious an opening. In the boxes were noticed General Merwin and party, Hon. Luzen B. Morris and ladies, Mir. F. Wayland Fellowes and Miss Bartlett's

 "My friends-The subscription is safe. Our adyersaries are confounded. We do not need the help of fnanoiers. You have saved yourselves by your own exertions. The can al is made" Here NJ. de Lesseps was so overcome that he wept, amid cheering, weep ing and mutual congratulations, all present shook hands with N. de Lesseps. When the excitement had partially abated the news went round that 410, 900 bonds had been subscribed for in Paris and the same number in the provinces. Marseilles alone took e6, 900 bonds. An official of the com- pany announced that the subscription lists would be kept open until Saturday noon. It in reported that numbers immediately re- nswsd their subscriptions, the receiving clerks being completely overtaxed.

Damaging Evidence Against the Ac-

Damaging Evidence Against the Ac-
 cused Wife.
 ROCKVILLE, Conn. Dec. 12--The third day of the Johnson murder trial opened with a continuation of the testimony of Constable D. Mullen of Stafford. Witness identified the revolver in court as the one Mrs. Johnson took from her stocking. The prisoner told him she found it in the road three weeks be- fore. Deputy Sheriff Fisk of Stafford testi- fled to searching the house and also identified the revolver.
 At the afternoons session the prosecution read Johnson's ante mortem statement. It related many troubles between the husband and wife and asserted that she had threatened his life and that she had attempted to poison him. He was sure his wife shot him on the night of April and that she poisoned him that night, making him sleep and sitting be- side the bed watching him until he was sound ssleep. The statement made sensation in court. Flora, the seventeen year old daugh- ter of Johnson by his first wife, was the last witness and told of their troubles in 8 very affecting way. The State will probably close the direct testimony to-morrow. The trial will occupy nearly another week.
