A Glance At the Beautiful New Dress of
Fresco OF This Historic Eaiflce and
Hts Beauty.
Center church, while it will be recognized
tomorrow by all familiar with its portals and
interior hitherto, no organic changes having
been made, will at once strike the eyes of all
such as having undergone notable improve
ments during the long summer vacation, and
the verdict ofcritical judges who have seen
it in its new dress of fresco is oneiSof hearty
commentator. No striking or gay colors
have been employed, neither is the effect ex-
oessively sombre. The colors used are plain
and unassuming, yet the effect is, to give
grander appearance and harmony to the
whole edifce. As happily says one critic of
note: ''The aesthetic taste of the city win re-
jeice in the successful and complete removal
of those pink and gray curiosities of eccenr
trio perspective that 80 long have been allow
ed to cumber the wall back of the pulpit. It
appears that during the latter years of their
unwelcome presence they became so utterly
offensive that not few of the congregation
had grown to feel that for some inscrutable
reason they were intended to form part of
Providential discipline and that hereafter and
forever they were to be included in the dreAry
list of inevitables."
Always heretofore and up to the time of
this present work of correction and repara-
ton the Center church auditorium was made
up of walls, ceiling, pulpit, galleries, etc.,
each one not only resolutely hard but per
sistently solitary. They were as aggressively
individual as with malice prepense they could
be made. OF course these neighbors, once SO
contentious, yet remain as before, but the
stormy atmosphere that formerly surrounded
them has passed away and is now replaced
by new conditions that promise lasting peace.
All these warning factors have been recon-
oiled and by judieious treatment they now
gladly unite to form grand rotunda, an in
teger, and float together in one harmonious
whole-dignifed, solemn and restfui. There
appear no sins of commission. IF sins of
omission exist they are not now under con-
Bideration."
To enter into details, the color of the dome
is light drab with wide border of dark
gray and few minor decorating lines and
figures in white. The side walls are of buff
with delicate frieze of faint white tracery
in interlocking squares. The broad wall back
of the pulpit, which needs an alcove, js set
off with a mammoth panel of dark greenish
tint with three borders of light grsenish hue
hsnked on either side by broad upright of
buff matching the sides. These are the
main features in the co1oring, but it
Is the general effect which constitutes
the great Improvement. Mr.. Charles Schenck
of this city completed the work last Tuesday
executing with the skill of the true artist the
plans which were by Henry Rutgers Marshall
of Wall street, New York. The new carpet
ing has been laid since Tuesday, adding to
the beautiful appearance of the sanctuary
and few other minor improvements of the
seats have been made The church will re-
open for divine service tomorrow.

ORDER EASTER STAR.



Grand Memorial Service Last Even-
Ing.
Grand Army hall last evening presented a
beautiful appearance in the profusion of
flowers that adorned it's walls, pillars and
tables. It was the meeting of Excelsior
chapter No. 8, Order of the Eastern Star,
composed mainly of the wives, sisters and
daughters of Masons. The occasion was q
grand memorial service in memory of the
late Robert Morris, founder of the order.
The hall was crowded with Masons and
members from New Haven and adjoining
towns. The impressive ceremonies were
conducted by Miss Minnie q. Hohenstein,
worthy matron, and Brother Charles T. Rus
sell, worthy patron. The beautiful ritual of
the order was so perfectly memorized by the
seven sisters and brothers participating in
the service that scarcely q break occurred
during the entire ceremonies. The floral
display as seen in the various Masonic en-
blems, together with the solemn music of the
choir. were all suggestive of the loss of
great and shining light of the Order of the
Eastern Star.

The May Howsrd Burlesque company had
a packed house again last night at the Grand.
Miss Howard sang by request the song so
well known, "The Letter that Never Came"
which she composed herself. She rendered
it so well that she was encored several times.
The last performance will be given this after
noon and tonight.
NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
Miss Florence Arnold and her company in
ttHer Husband" drew quite large audience
at the New Haven Opera House last evening.
The play is not a strong one and was only
fairly enacted but il was quite favorably re-
ceived. Miss Arnold will never become a
great actress but she is an earnest, painstak-
ing artist and she and her company ought to
meet with success in the smaller cities.
"Her Husband" will be repeated this after
noon and evening. &
NJ B. LEAvITTs BURLEsoUE COMPANY.
NJ. B. Leavitt, whose name is SO well
known as most successful manager of bur-
1esqus companies, will bring his latest COM
psny of burlesque artists, which he engaged
from the principal theaters in Europe, to the
Hyperion on Monday night. The latest
Enalish travesty success, "Monts Cristo, >"
will be produced by twenty famous English
stage beauties. Mexican dances, fandango9
and characteristic ensembles will be intro
duced. This is one Of the strongest burlesque
companies in the world.
NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
The preparations for the great aquatic
spectacle, ga Dark Secret" are well under
way. The carpenters and machinists are
busily fitting the sections of the mammoth
tank to the opera house stage. while the car
psnters of the house are putting in extra sup
ports and bracing the stage to support the
200 tons of water required for the river
scenes and twenty boats, steam launches,
scenery, etc. The great water tank is fitted
with glass sections in front one inch thick,
enabling the audience to see the water in
motion as the boats are rowed or steam
across. This is also an excellent opportuni-
ey for the presentation of Capt. Andrews, whe
made daring attempt to sail across the Attain
tic in q fourteen foot dory. The brave cap
tain appears at every performance sailing
In the same boat in which he was picked up
in mid-ocean by the Bar Nor after one of the
most perilous voyages of sixty-two days. This
grand spectacle will be given for the first
time on Tuesday night, the great prepare
lions necessary precludiug the possibility of
4 Monday night performance, which was
originally contracted for and intended. The
box Office is now open for the sale of seats.
