THOSE FINE RECITALS.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
"Evviva il maestrol evviva il mastrinop
''Long live the masterl long live the little
MASTER" These were the words which
greeted Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart upon
the successful rendition, in the ducal thea
tire in Milan, of his great dramatic work
"Mithridates." The fiery and jealous
masters of the Italian school had thrown
every obstacle in the way OF the presenta-
ton of the opera, but at its close cheer
upon cheer arose through concert hall and
street, and Mozart's triumph was COM
plete.
OF all these things we were thinking, as
on three evenings of this week we looked
upon the programe of the conservatory
named in honor of this simple and child
like man, whose mighty genius has de,
scended through the years TO enrich and
instruct us. What men belonged to the

the numbers were well rendered, many OF
them exceptionally so, and progress noted
in some instances is remarkable. The duo

AFTER THE STREET COMMISSIONERS.

Some of the residents on Water street
near Second are complaining about the
condition of affairs along thestreet. They
seem to think they have an extra amount
of water and a lack of drainage. The
bitches on either side they claim are
neither ornate nor useful. Without a
heavy rain accompanied by hail every
three days the green coating would go IN
broken and would not be very attractive
and not useful.
Street Commissioner Campbell says he is
accosted hundreds of times daily and
asked to repair certain streets on short
notice and he amt able to do all the work
demanded for some time. He says he is
going to travel back streets in order to
avoid interruption. However, the brilliant
poll tax notices it is said will greatly in
crease the street force which may enable
the commissioner to respond more
promptly to requests and demands for as
SiStance.

THE mAsQUERADE HALL

Of Company B, Second Regiment, at
 the Armory This Evening-The Con-
 cert and Special Attractions.
 The fifth annual masquerade ball which the City Guards will hold at the armory this evening will be grand affair. These annuals have been so extensively patronized during the last few years that they have been very profitable to the company.
 About $500 net profit was realized from the ball of last season, and judging from the advance sale of tickets and other indications the ball of this evening will be so largely at- tended that about the same amount of money will be made.
 About 1,550 tickets were sold at the door during the ball of last year.
 MT. J. P. Stack, the leader of the Second regiment band, has announced the following programme for concert from 5 to 9 o'clock: Naturalization. .Sonsa Overture-Poet and Peasant. .suppe Selection-A Night in Berlin Strauss Indian March. ...-...................S .Sellenick
 This concert hour is to many the most en- joyable part of the evening, as in addition to the beautiful music favorable opportunity will be offered to observe the attractive cos- tunes of those who are 1eisurely promenad- ing, or the pranks of the clowns, athletes and others who are unusually amusing.
 The grand march, which will be started soon after the concert, will be led by the car nival procession, in which will be a chariot with representation of the birth of Prince and Princess Carnival
 The floor committee of twenty members of the company will wear elegant and expensive new costumes made by MT. L. Nehrig of New York. These suits represent Roman and Corsican noblemen.
 The following are some of the attractions of the evening.
 Burleseue broadsword contest by MT. Chas. Beltz and Mir. Herman Schiissel of the New Haven Turn Verein.
 Grand calisthenic and ststuary exhibition by the Bridgeport Turn verein.
 Grand pyramid exhibition by the New Ha- ven Turn Verein.
 Club and glass globe swinging by MT. John Eckle of the City guard. These globes are filled with water and contain live fish.
 Costumes can be obtained at the armory of Mir. Nehrig, the costumer. Only persons in full costume will be allowed to dance before the unmasking.
 The galleries have been filled with reserved seats, which can be secured this evening. As the number of seats is limited to the size of the galleries, the deman1 for seats will proba- bly, exceed the supply. MT. Durand, the costumer on Orange street, said recently that owing to the large number of masquerade balls in the city his business had been remarkably good, and that the ball of this evening had caused extensive demand for his costumes and masks. There will undoubtedly be rush through | the armOrY doors this evening.

THE MUTUAL LIFE.
A PowerruI and Staunch Company.

Powerful and Staumch Company.
 The showing of the famous Mutual Life Insurance company of New York, Richard A. McCurdy president, does fresh honor to this stable and notably successful financial insti- tuition. It's forty-sixth report just out shows az follows:
 The Mutual Life Insurance company since its organization in 1843 has paid to it's policy holders $272, ,4S1, ,33s s2. The wonderful growth of the company is due in large de- gree to the freedom from restriction and irk- some conditions in the contract and to the opportunities for investment which are offer cd in addition to indemnity in case of death
 The Mutual Life was the first to practically undertake the simpli6cstion of the insurance contract and strip it of verbiage in the mazes of which could be found innumerabIe refuges against claims of policy holders who had, however unwittingly, departed from the strict letter of the agreement. That this ap- pealed powerfully to the popular taste is evi- dent from the fact that in 1888 the company wrote over $1O3 OO0, ,00e of new insurance
 The assetts of the Mutual Life Insurance company, now amounting to $126, ,082. .152, are ohify invested in

MIR. CeNyERsE,s CONDITION.

President Converse of the Winchester
 Arms Company Better Yesterday-
 Hopeful Views and No Immediate
 Danger.
 The condition of MT. W. w. Converse, president of the Winchester Arms company, yesterday was much more comfortable, ana with no drawback it is confidently expected that he will be able to be out again in week or SO. The tumor in his neck was extracted by the surgeons Drs. Whittemore of this city and McBurney of New York by means of the difficult and dangerous operation performed. It was little larger than shagbark walnut. Yesterday forenoon his neck and throat where the incisions were made was dressed, the operation lasting two hours. MT. Con- verse bore the work cheerfully and conversed with the doctor and friends present, when allowed to do so, in a pleasant and cheery way. He is not kept under the influence of anodynes in the daytime and only so at night when indications of sleeplessness are mani fest. The wound made by the incision IS on the right side and front of the neck, reaching from near the upper part of the windpipe to just underneath the right cheek bone. The danger in the case lies in the possibility of such a serious increase of the swelling as to impede the use of the windpipe, in which event the pipe can be opened and means of artificial breathing resorted to, not infre- quent case. But from the indications no such serious turn of affairs is apprehended. The apprehension in the case is whether the primary cause of the tumor may not yet be present in the system and cause trouble in the future. MT. Converse is allowed, at present, to see none but the most intimate personal friends as @ wise matter of precau- tion. The first indications of the tumor were manifest nine or ten years ago, but at first the patient did not anticipate anything seri- ous in character. His strength is quite good, also his appetite, but necessarily he is re- strained to liquid food in order not to cause irritation of the sensitive parts affected.
 The condition of W. w. Converse was comfortable last evening, and he passed g very quiet night.

COUNTERFEIT MONEY PASSED.

An Italian Neatly Caught Yesterday
 -He Finds Himself Behind the Bars
 In Remarkably short Time-Pass-
 ing Illeg1timate Money over the
 Counter.
 Antonio Pasquareli is an Italian who runs grocery store at 1S6 Hamilton street, south of Grand avenue. He is bluff sort of fel- low, and does not allow anything to worry him. He thinks he is remarkably cunning, and this most likely induced him to pass counterfeit money over this counter, thinking that the law would never stop him in his nefarious business.
 Yesterday morning Henrico Judice, an Italian, complained at the precinct that he had received in change that morning 8 counterfeit silver dollar from Pasquarell, alias Antonio Justi.
 To ascertain whether or not Pasquarelli was innocent, as sometimes counterfeit money is passed by persons without knowing it, Captain Smith of the precinct got two Italians to go to Pasquarelli's and buy some groceries. The store was not open, but an entrance was had through the living apart ments.
 The first one to visit Pasquareln was h1lCucot 4soA4oAS1 wuO bOuSut SO1Ao LOAua- toes and maccaroni, the same time presenting five dollar bill. In the change he received twenty-five cent piece, which was counter felt.
 Captain Smith then sent Michael Nutile, who bought something, receiving back what looked like new silver dollar. This was also counterfeit.
 Chief Bollman was notified and he secured warrant from United States Commissioner Wright. It was placed in United States Deputy Marshal Lovejoy's hands. The two, accompanied by Officers Roche, Gellston and Farrell, went to Pasquarelli's house as soon as possible, thinking that if there was any delay he might get away. When the officers reached the house they found Pasquarelli and several other Italians playing cards. When told what he was want ed for his wife began to weep. She is oi Irish descent. He took the whole affair very coolly, in fact he was brassy about it. tThis is nothing" he said to his wife; "it's all right. There's no use of your weeping" He was searched and $2S 55 found on his person, but no counterfeit money. A search of the house by Deputy Marshal LovejoJ brought to light five counterfeit dollars be- tween the sheets of his bed. Pasqusreli was taken before United States Commissioner Wright and bound over to the United States district court under bonds o1 s1 ,500. He went to jail. It is the opinion of the authorities that he | bought the counterfeit money from New York parties and then retailed. The finding | of these five pieces, all brand new, is just ai bad as if one thousand were found.
