The star of the comedy is Vernona Jarbeau, who has been seen and heard on several occasions, principally in light opera, but never until last evening did her Cleveland admirers learn how clever and entertaining she really is. Miss Jarbeau's part calls for little acting and a great deal of singing. Although the stage is rarely without her, she never appears in the same garb and her ward Plain Dealer.

 ''As You Like It."
 A distinguished critic speaking of Miss Wainwright's Rosalind in 'As You Like It" says: She invests the character with the dewy freshness and bloom of youth. and delightful gayety. She plays with the text very much as she does the love- lorn Orlando. Her sudden changes of tone and quaint conceits of utterance give it a meaning of her own; and by be witching tricks of expression that do not belong to the domain of art, and would not be tolerated in a woman lacking her personal fascination, brings criticism to it's knees and holds it spellbound until the opportunity for noting imperfee tions is passed. With an art that 1 wholly feminine, she whistles stage-craft down the wind, and. ill the Yresence o1 the result, the greatest stickler for rules and precedents forgets to send a vail o1 protest after it.

It is just elegant, both in style finish and tone-and say, Central tell them I shall expect hne stool and scarf, as gift, one of the inducements | they make for the holidays. Shoninger's 8 is the only company that favors customers in that direction, but the other dealers, poor fellows they are so poor! l prefer to buy of reliable house one that i know will be here right along and always makes every promise good.
 This manner of buying piano may seem queer to some readers, but we assure you business has been done with us exactly on this plan, while some agents chase customers meeting them at esery cross road | in season and more often out of season, until the customers are afraid their com panions will think they are in debt to the agents. Shoninger by honorable straight forward dealings steps in and makes the sale. Avoid such agents. They are considering your pocketbook more than the quality of the goods they are trying to sell you. We have no state agents, no county agents or town agents, because we combine all that ourselves under one head Manufacturers and state agents, and save you at least two profits.

Death of an old New Haven mer-
 chant.

Death of an Old New Haven mer-
 chant.
 MT. Jonathan Foote died at his home in West Haven Saturday of @ general breaking down of the vital forces, at the age of 75. MT. Foote was a native of Branford, and came to New Haven when quite young. He was widely known in the city, having been merchant on Chapel street, in the boot and shoe business, for 40 years. His store was in the Phoenix building. He for three years occupied the old Phoenix building, which was destroyed by the great Chapel street fire of 1S37 and upon the erection of the new Phoe. nix took store in it nearly on the same site as the one he had before occupied, and there continued business successfully until he sold out to the Messrs. Shaw ten or fifteen years ago. Since then he has been retired from business and living in West Haven on Camp track, on a place which he purchased and improved. Mir. Foote was an excellent citi- zen and much respected. He was member for many years of the old Third church, which was consolidated with the old North church, and previous to the building of the old Third church, worshipped with the con- gregation which occupied the old Congrega- tional church on Court street, now the church Mishkan Izrael. MT. Foote leaves 8 wife and two sons, Sherman F. Foote, formerly for years in the boot and shoe business on Chapel street, and for 8 number of years secretary and treasurer of the Seamless Rubber com- pany, and Ellsworth I. Foote, secretary and assistant treasurer of the New Haven Water company. The funeral will take place on Monday at o'clock. The interment will be in Oak Grove cemetery, West Haven.

MUSH TO TRE oKNrENNIAL

RUSH TO TRE CENTENNIAL. Crowds From New Haven byfSteam- boat and RaIlroad-Elc&ant Sou- VenfeF.
 The rush for New York and the great centennial celebration is nearly at it's height and every train and boat from the city is crowded with sight ssers and thnsA rphn a-n anxious to view one of the greatest events of the century. Every train is filled to it's ut- most and last evening about 800 went down on the palace steamer 0. H. Northsm About the same number left also on the Saturday night trip. To-day four large ok tra trains will run upon the Consolidated road. Two of these will leave here at 6:55 and 7:1S in the evening. Great numbers of New Haven people will witness the great display.
 Some of the badges for the centennial are superb affairs. Those for the managers of the American Institute of New York prob. ably equal in beauty and splender any that will be worn in the great procession, even by the immortal and unapproachable New York 400. MT. Samuel L. Marsden, of our city, one of the managers of the noted institution, received Saturday his badge equipment. It is in three different eolors of satin, red, white, and blue, the blue for the background, the white for the front The bar and pin are massive and of real gold. The bar is faced by a golden eagle, the proud bird having it's wings outspread and looking as if satisfied with its part in the programme. The incription reads:

Rev. pr. Chapman delivers q Power
 ful Discourse at the First M. E.
 Church.
 Rev. Dr. Chapman preached powerful sermon at the First N. E. church last even- ing upon the "Lessons of the centennial" His review of the progress and prosperity of the country was masterly and profound. Referring to the issue of the greatest strug- gle the country has sustained, he said: The great question has been, so this union of states or confederacy of states. Union sovereignty or state sovereignty. Here were two ideas growing side by side we HOW see our country standing uni ted impregnably upon our unoonquerable constitution. Each state sways in local matters and the Union is sovereign in all general interests. They are bound together in the legislatures of commerce, common hope and national interest. The experiment. has passed and it has come to stay. This century exhibits an unparalleled grow tn and progress. This wonderful growth and de- velopment in unclaimed arts and resources has eprung very largely out of of onr 6en the capacity and and ntslgen0e intel tury of civil growth and development to stop the wheels of industry and give thanks to him who has lifted us to the summit of our achievement People talk about the good old times. In all respects society is generally better than that our fathers knew. The censorship of the press, the argus eye of the detective press, has brought to-day freedom from fraud, such as our fathers never knew. All over the land this is true. This country is the foremost force and factor of the world, and 8 great future is before it. In the morning Rev. Dr. Beach, P. E, preach ed an admiral and powerful discourse on the faith of the Syrian women. The old choir of the church closed it's Sunday services yes- terday. At the ofertory in the morning Miss Southworth admirably sang ''I come to thee for rest" and in the evening Miss Dani- ker sang with much felicity of voice and ex- pression, Glove not the world"

DROWNED IN LAKE WHITNEY.
A Whitneyv1lIe Lads Sad Fate Tester
 daY-The Body Recovered.


 day-The Body Recovered.
 Another sad accident at Lake Whitney was added to the already long list of such cas-. ualties. Thomas Miller, Whitneyville lad of about nine years of age, son of William Miller, an employe of the Winchester Arms Co.'s Whitneyville shop. was drowned. He was playing in boat which lay along side the ice house dock, and losing his balance fell into the water between the dock and the boat. This, it is thought, happened about 2:30 o'clock. It was not known that he had fallen in until while afterwards several gen. tlemen walking about the dock saw his hat floating upon the surface of the lake. They immediately procured grapnels and dragged the bottom of the lake for the body. The body was finally recovered about o'clock by George Nichols at point about ten feet from where the lad fell in. Coroner Swift of Centerville was called and decided that it was 8 case of accidental drowning.
 After the coroner's examination the body of the dead boy was taken to his fathers resi- dence in Whitneyville.
