Monday he went to Norwalk to attend q
hearing as one Of committee of the superior

late DR.. Andrews, who wasl the foreman OF
the company at the time of his death. Mr..
Charles Stormont of the New Haven police

Mr.. Barrett and his company to the rank of
romantic tragedy. Miss Eastlake acted the
part of Mona with delicacy and pathos. and

which will be seen at the Hyperion theater
Friday and Saturday has settled in the
minds of New York critics the question of
the abilities of the younger Sothern. The
character is one somewhat similar to those
the elder Sothern made his reputation In,
but Is played so distinctively different and
with 30 much more warmth and depth of
feeling that his talent as an actor must be
admitted. Messrs. De Mile and Belasoo have
elaborated on this play and "The Wife, "
both of which are New York Lyceum theater
successes, and which now yields them nearly
$40, 900 yearly in royalties.

ABeautiful snow Picture.

Early yesterday morning the green pre-.
sented beautiful picture. All the tree tops
were crowned with covering of snow, which
hung in large fakes and masses from the
naked boughs. Some of the figures formed
by the snow were grotesque and weird.
Streamers Of large crystal lace and ribbons
interlaced each other like Partisan millinery
window. It had, indeed, festal appearance
and when the boughs waved In the breeze
the glare of electric lights flooded the scene
with a series of changing colors that ap-
preached the magnificent.
Later when the sun rose In the east, the
snowy hskes melted before the fiery orb like
gum drops in school girls mouth, but not
before it had reflected all the colors of the
rainbow over the white crested boughs. In
the afternoon on the old green all that was
left of the snow was q small patch just north
of Trinity church and another above the Cen.
ter church.
