OURSELVES.

Possibly it is not good taste to make personal allusiOns, but we are such an excessively young firm that it may be pardoned. We cannot point with pride to a long and distant past-we cannot even refer to last year; but we can plant six feet on the living present and serve your interests with as much pleasure and profit as our more ancient and respect ed competitors. Our stock is even newer than ourselves, and it may interest you to know that our ambition is trifte larger than the commercial field we hope to occupy. We are a bit overanXious to place your orders on our brand new order book, and to feel the weight of your sill yer in our pockets. Perhaps you will find it convenient and profit able to allow us an opportunity to do both.

PRoCToR'S OPERA HOUSE.


 Charles T. Ellis opens in "Caspar the Yodler" tonight. As German comedian, MT. Ellis is equalled by few, and although he reminds the theater-goer in some re- spects of MT. Emmett, yet he does not by any means initiate the famous actor, re- lying entirely on his own merits
 Dixey in "Adonis" and ''The Seven Ages" appears on Friday and Saturday. This popular burlesque is supported by a company of well known favorites.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 Frank Oakes Rose gives the first of his lectures tonight upon Through London with Dickens" The lectures are illustrated with stereopticion views, and the many entertaining characters of the great novel, ist are brought vividly before the audience. MT. Rose will repeat his lecture tomorrow afternoon and evening"

 MISS BRADLEY's CONCERT.
 William A. Prime, the popular New York tenor who is to sing at Miss Brad leys concert at the Grand avenne Congre- gational church Thursday night, creates a furore wherever he sings. MT. Prime be- longs to one of the oldest and most aristo- cratic families in New York. He is the most dramatic tenor in the country The opportunities for hearing Mrs. A. Heaton Robertson are now so rare that her ap- pearance Thursday night will attract many music lovers. Mrs. Robertson and Mir. Prime will sing duet affording the first opportunity in this city to hear these cultured voices together. Miss Bradley, whose sweet voice is always welcomed with. pleasure, will sing and Miss Lillian Darlington and Professor E. N. Parsons complete the pro gram. Miss Darlington, a sparkling elo- cutionist, makes her debut in New Haven on this occasion.
 .:< HYPERION THEATER.
 Elsie Leslie and Daniel Frohman's com pany in ''The Prince and the Pauper" ap- peared as benefit to George Miller, the stage carpenter, last night. Considering the weather, large audience, and very appreciative one witnessed the produc- ton. It is needless to say that Elsie Les lie sustained her double role as Tom Canty and Edward, Prince of Wales, excellently, and she received especially able support from Arthur Elliott as Miles Tendon. Both were called before the curtain sev- eral times, as the little pauper, the bright little star was at her best, and her work was finished with far finer art than that of many an older leading lady. The cast was very good, and the subordinate parts were well brought out. The performance will be repeated tonight.
 Primrose & Vests minstrels will hold the boards on Thursday night. The ros- ter includes George H. Primrose, W. H. West, Lou Dockstader, the original big four, Smith; Waldron, Daly and Martin; Swift and Chase, Cain and Loreno, George Powers, John Queen, J. Melville Jansen, John West, Fred.
