mY BROTHERS SISTER.

Miss Palmer Makes Decided Hit.
 After an absence of three years, spent in other countries, there returns to us the ever welcome, sprightly and vivacious little com edy star, Minnie Palmer. She had come to be known to the people of her native land as s'My Sweetheart" so many times did she appear in that successful play, and so com pletely had she won the hearts of her audi ences that all were wont to speak of her by that title. She is just as much so as ever, and her appearance creates as much inter est and enthusiasm. She possesses, in 8 marked degree, all the winsome ways that make her part thorough success in her new play, "My Brothers Sister,"
 At the New Haven Opera House last even- ing when she made her first appearance on the stage, through the medium of a chim- ney, she was greeted with tumultuous the bright faced witty boy of the streets she played her part admirably and was the street arab to perfection. Later on, in the dress of girl, she was just as interesting and fully as entertaining. Her bright songs and pret- ty dancing called forth the admiration and hearty applause of the audience, and a call before tue curtain attended the appreciation of her worth. In the second act, as the society young lady from the Athens of America, she made decided hit. As she made her entrance upon the stage the magnificent apparel and rich diamonds which she wore seemed to fit her lilly, so well did she carry out her part, while her surprise at bsholding herself so el- egantly arrayed was we'll feigned. As the dashing naval cadet, with all the swaggering impudenee of the growing youth, she again charmed all by her easy manner and natural grace, and again appeared before the curtain in response to enthusiastic applause.
 The play is one well suited to the versatile accomplishments of Miss Palmer and is well written throughout. It is comedy in every sense and free from melodramatic or tragic situations. The plot is carefully laid and well defined and the situations are strong as we'll as amusing. In the last act tho ability of Miss Palmer asserts itself when she ex- poses to Livingston the dup1icity she has un- willingly practised. The pathos of her lines and acting in this part is of high order and shows her talent in a serious vein.
 The supporting company is very good Miss Carrie Reynolds as Miss Previous was excellent and made very favorable impres- sion by her cool manner and digni6ed bear ing. Miss Buchanan as Mrs. Livingstone is also worthy of mention. MT. McManus as the Baron acquitted himself ably, and his performance was all the more enjoyable be- cause his dialect was not painful. Waldcof- fer Grosserly, the drawling British swell, without which character no modern play seems to be complete, was ably imperson- ated by MT. Marlande Clarke.
 There will be 0 matinee to-day at 2:30, and the evening performance will conclude the engagement of My Brothers Sister"

 The junior appointment list has occasioned l the usual number of surprises. Some lnen
 are very happy, while others are equally de- pressed. One member of '89 who reposes g great deal of confidence in himself, and who said before the list was announced that he | felt sure of philosophical, received to his I great surprise dissertation appointment. He has not yet recovered from the shock and ! asserts that the faculty is all wrong and the present marking system an utter failure. The campus was sea of ice and water | yesterday. It would have been good boating \ anywhere and especially so the sidewalks. The water looked very pretty and the glare | of ice beneath was alluring, so much that | many an unwary collegian found rather damp resting spot on it's surface and there ! after sat for an hour OF the steam radiator. It was suggested that the crew abandon the | tank in the Gym. and launch their shell on the placid waters of the lake in the entrance | to old chapel. The attempt would have been highly successful. During the afternoon one of the most dignifed seniors was seen to be- ! come suddenly agitated on the sidewalk in front of Peabody and while his umbrella shot
 skyward he closed with the treacherous bricks.

BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
What ssPeculIar,, Means.

Applied to Hoods Sarsaparilla the word peculiar is of great importance. It means that Hoods Sarsaparilla is different from other preparations in many vital points, which make it a thoroughly honest and relia- ble medicine. It is peculiar in strictly medicinal sense; first, in the combination of remedial agents used; second, in the propor- process by which the active curative proper- ties of the medicine are secured. Study these points well. They mean volumes. They make Hoods Sarsaparilla peculiar in it's curative powers, ss it aocomplishes wonderful cures hitherto unknown and which give to Hoods Sarsaparilla clear right to the title of ssthe greatest blood purifier ever discovered"

Entertainments.
MRS. JAMES BROWN POTTER.

Mrs. James Brown Potter appeared in 'tLoyal Love" before very large and bril-
 liant audience at the Hyperion Theater last evening. However this artiste has been re- ceived in other cities she certainly met with kind reception last evening. The applause was as frequent and hearty az it was de- served. So much has been written concern ing her personal appearance that it is not necessary to add word of praise. She is
 not demanding attention as "society
 beauty" but as an actress who has recently
 adopted the stage as profession and who evidently desires to be judged by it's stand
 ards. She displayed in two or three instances really remarkable talent-the most notable one being in the tower scene. Her two great faults are peculiar monotonous delivery of certain of her lines and saving the air too
 much with her hands. But these are the or
 d1nary faults of inexperience and there is no
 reason why her voice will not soon become more flexible and her gestures less amateur
 ish. Whatever her faults may be Mrs. Potter
 is so handsome and has such pleasing stage
 presence that she is certain to win admirers
 wherever she appears. This was apparent last evening when she received double en- cores at the conclusion of the second and
 third acts and a call before the curtain at the
 end of the play. The play is rather weak
 one, but is not half as bad as some of the metropolitan critics have tried to make out
 Some or the support was very good indeed and some ridiculously bad. MT. Kyrle Bel lew and MT. Harry Lee were both admirable and Mr. Charles Fredericks deserves special mention for his fine impersonation of a minor role. MT. Harry Allen, however, was sim- ply wretched and the remainder of the com- pany had little or nothing to do. A repre- sentative New Haven audience has voted and by large majority-that Mrs. James Brown Potter is a success.
 BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 IA Mountain Pink" drew crowded houses to the Grand Opera House yesterday after noon and evening. The play has many strong situations about it and no doubt will attract large audiences at both performances to-day. The attractions in the museum hall furnish amusement for Manager Bunnell's museum patrons.
 GnMoRE's BAND CONCERT.
 The annual concert by Gilmore's famous band will take place at the Hyperion Theater next Thursday evening. They gave fourteen concerts in Dublin, drawing great crowds to | the Exhibition Palace.
