no control over thoss works, they must en-
tertain the id ga that the power ofths United

ANoTHER NEW DoRmIToRY
For Yale-To be Erected by the Kings.
 ley Trust Association on College

For Yale-To be Erected by the Kings.
 ley Trust Association on College street.-the Plans Drawn.
 A good deal of talk has been recently created by the new plan of the Scroll and Key society to help Yale out with new dormitory. The property used by the society, corner of College and Wall streets, is owned by the Kingsley Trust associa- tion, g company of wealthy men. including millionaire New Workers, who are mem- bers of the society, and manage the asso- citation in the society's interest. Two or three months ago they bought, in addition to the lot on which the society building stands, the house and lot back of it on Wall street, which was owned by MT. Munson, making, frontage of 160 feet on that street. Besides this they have just purchased through Charles H. Webb the two lots next north the society's land on College street, of President Dawson of the Water company, making frontage of 160 feet on this street also. They are now in tending to erect on the land not in use by the society building a new and handsome dormitory for use by Yale students. Bruce Pierce of New York is the architect and has the plans drawn. The building will probably be of stone, fronting on College street, and with lawns and handsome ap- proach from the Wall street side. The building will be in size about like the new one the college is now erecting on the cam pus. The new building will be thrown open to all students of Yale university at a price only sufficient to pay the running expenses. It will be nothing exclusive about it, and it will be absolutely under the supervision of the college authorities.

WHAT WAS THE MOTIvEs

The Body of Patrick Cooney Found
 on the West Haven Shore-He Had
 Been Missing About Two Weeks.
 The unknown man whose body was found on the shore at West Haven about a mile this side of Merwin's Point yesterday morning has been sufficiently well identi- fled as Patrick Cooney, who formerly lived at Branford, but until two weeks ago had resided at Leete's Island and worked at Beatty's stone quarry at Stony Creek, where he also worked some years ago. A fortnight since he went to the funeral of a child named Tooney at Branford and since then he has not been seen or heard from. In his pockets were found gold watch and a card of the Stony Creek division of Knights of Labor on which was his name and also that of Secretary Sherlock.
 Cooney was about thirty-tve years old. How he died is a mystery, for it is not thought that he was man to commit su- icide; and though he is believed to have had considerable money on his person when last seen, the gold watch found on the body makes it seem unlikely he was murdered for his valuables. On his head was found an abrasion by Medical Exami- ner Bennett. but this may have been due to beating against rocks in the water. He also gave it as his opinion that the body had not been in the water longer than eighteen or twenty hours. Coroner Mix was summoned and gave permit to Stahl & Hegel to remove the body to their estab- ishment.

THE DRESS REHEARSAL.

H. M. s. Pinafore ssSails the Ocean
 Blues at the Hyperion Last Even-
 ing-A Notable Production.
 Last night the Hyperion was crowded, and the cause was the dress rehearsal of H. M. s. Pinafore by the Dessauer Opera company, and from the time the orchestra struck up the first jingling bars of the overture until the curtain went down at the end of the second act everybody was all attention. The stage setting was very fine piece of work, as George Miller's work usually is, and great praise is due him for his careful dressing of the stage. The costumes were very tasty, and the entire company looked well, principals, choruses and all. It is not our part to criticise the performance. It was only rehearsal and the only dress rehearsal, so all were feeling tercup unquestionably is great suc- cess, and her singing was magnificent Harry Ensign, as Admiral, showed his ability and pleased the audience immense ly. Joseph Ross made very good cap tain, filling the position to dot, while his singing was all that could be desired. Miss Sullivan, as Josephine, showed her clear, bright soprano to great advantage, and her duets with Ben Harwood, who played Ralph Rackstraw, were heartily encored. MT. Harwood is the fortunate possessor of a very sweet tenor voice. The acting of MT. Nelson, the stage manager, who played Dick Deadeye, was perfection, and the au- dience was delighted with him. His make up and speciality work showed the profess sional, and there was no hesitation or fal- tering about him. Miss Martha Schnee- loch played Hebe, and her bright face and graceful acting made most favor able impression. MT. Mead's solo gave an excellent opportunity for displaying . fine baritone voice, and he possesses such a voice, while MT. Kivlan as bass owns a match for it. Little Charlie Groning as Midshipmite deserves his share of notice, and prettier little fellow never filled the position. The chorus are good and no mistake; the voices are clear and strong and their appearance is striking. The or ehestra can't properly be critizized until after the performahce. One thing is cer- tain, Pinafore will be 8 success and the entire performance taken collectively will be one of the best and most popular things ever given in this city, and the manage have cause to congratulate themselves on such favorable reception. Nearly every seat for all three performances is sold, and a further demand yet
