PETTY THIEvING.

Threee Boys Arrested for Shopliftins
 Articles Stolen from Corbett on
 Elm Street.
 Wesley Jackson, Isadore Putzel and Fred L. Martin were arrested yesterday for shoplifting. On Tuesday afternoon they went into the crockery store of T. W. Corbett on Elm street and while one occupied the attention of the clerk, the others stole three imported cases for keeping postage stamps valued at $1 each and a salt cellar worth twenty-five cents. As soon as they were gone the goods were missed and the boys suspected and the police notified. On Monday night the father of one of the boys told Officer Hooper that his boy had told him he had some knives and wanted the officer to see whether the boy told the truth or not. From these clues the boys were arrested last night by Officer Hooper and the goods taken from Corbett's and also three knives and pearl handled cigarette holder, also some knives and spoons. AL together the goods amounted to $4 or $5. Several articles were identified as belong ing to L. c. Dole and others to J. W. Brine on Chapel street. The boys have probably been committing these petty thefts for considerable time.

So long as distinguished writers sound the praises of southern California, that favored region will doubtless continue to be the great winter resort of the country.

In each instance special Pullman vestibuled trains with dining cars are em ployed for the journey. The tickets arc good returning with parties in the spring or independently at any time. Circulars giving full particulars may be obtained oi Raymond & Whitcomb, 226 Washington street, Boston.

A GREAT DEBATE.

Competitive Examination Will He
 Held to Decide One of the Speakers
 Depew Will Preside-Many Noted
 People Will Attend-Harvard Will
 Probably Decide on the Subject To.
 Day.
 The Yale Union had @ special meeting last night and decided to hold competi- tive debate to select one of the speakers for the Harvard Yale debate. The Kent club will select another, and the president of the of the union will appoint the third. This latter action was taken so that Mir. Nullsly would be chosen. He is an influ- ential man in the senior class, a Keys man, Lit. editor, and is trying for the Town send prize, and the faculty want him for
 one of the speakers. But on account of
 his work he is unable to enter the con-
 petitive debate.
 Three prizes will be offered at the de-
 bate. The first prize will entitle the man to debate in the Harvard Yale contest, the second is a moneyed prize of $12 and the third of $9.

All the members ot the I union will be permitted to compete, but each speaker will be restricted to five min utes. Professors Cook and Adams and MT. Bailey will probably preside. Four subjects have been sent to Harvard from which to select one. They are in | substance, first, "That 8 more vigorous 1 foreign policy is un-American and the | tendency to reciprocal relations to foreign governments are detrimental to this gov. | ernment;" second. That Immigration
 should be restricted" third, "That the
 members of the presidents cabinet should | sit in the senate;" fourth, ''That Mexico | should be added to the Union" A report
 from Harvard will probably be heard to- day.
 Chauncey M. Depew will preside and l the date will be made in accordance witt | his wishes. On the stage there will be many prominent Yale alumni, and prob
 ably among others, Governor Buckley
 Lieut.. Governor Merwln, Judge Morris Mayor Sargent, ex Governor lngersoll, ex | Governor Harrison, ex-Minister Phelps, Rev. Joseph Twitchell, of Hartford. 4 1 large delegation from Harvard will b, l present, and efforts will be made to make

1t Is Suggested That the Caps Used
 on the Boston and New York Forces
 be Adopted Hero.
 The cold is felt by the preservers of New Haven's peace out on their beats for hours at a stretch, probably more than by the citizens. With the present helmet the wind has full sweep against their ears Superintendent Smith has suggested that the caps that are worn by the New York and Boston policemen during the winter be adopted here. These caps are very stylish in appearance and look somewhat like the hats at present worn by the officers, except that the brim curves like on cap. They can be rolled down so as to protect the ears and back of the neck. On the whole they look very dressy and will surely be more comfortable than the helmets now in use.
 If a majority of the men are in favor of them Superintendent Smith will recon mend their adoption to the commissioners. The cost of each cap if S2 25.

Entertainments. HYPERION THEATER,

Friday and Saturday evenings "Uncle Celestin," a comedy brimming with humor, will hold the boards at the Hyperion. The company is large one and contains an unusual number of bright, handsome faces and attractive forms. The voices of the chorus are good and blend smoothly in pleasant melodies and harmonies. The beauty of the costuming makes many bril- liant stage pictures. The plot consists of clever little love story and the contre- temps involved in the rivalry of the con- testants for the old mans money, and the the devices to which tkey resort to outwit each other furnish plenty of fun.

AN ENJOYABLE RECITAL At the Church of the Messiah Last Evening-A Large and Delighted Andionce Drosanf

At the Church of the Messiah Last
 Evening-A Large and Delighted
 Audience Present.
 A delightful recital was given at the Church of the Messiah by MT. A. Wether- ell Draper last night, ably assisted by the following well-known local musicians: Miss Hattie Bradley, soprano; Miss S. G. Blinn, contralto; MT. iZ. J. Adams, bari tone; MT. E. G.Wooster, futist; MT. Harry A. Doty, pianist, and MT. Max Maretzek, accompanist.
 MT. Draper's style of elocution is most pleasing one. He avoids the exaggeration and straining after effect which is such a common and disastrous fault. His gest- ures are graceful and unstudied, while a well modulated voice and clear enunciation are noticeable features in his delivery. The first piece on the program was a mazurka by Goddard, which was rendered in a spir- tied manner by MT. Harry A. Doty. MT. Draper then gave Hoods tragic ballad of Eugene Aram with great feeling, his facial expression and gestures being especially we'll chosen.
 Mrs.S.G. Blinn then sang as 8 solo ttThe New Kingdom, by Tours, and was heart fly encored. Fourth on the program a duet, 'Im Rosenduft," was played by E.. G. Wooster and Harry A. Doty. The piece was heartily applauded.
 MT. Draper then gave humorous read ing, "An Evening at Whist" most ludi- crous travestp on feminine whist players. Miss Hettie Bradley sang charming little solo entitled ''The Bobolink." Miss Brad ley's voice is of extraordinary sweetness and her rendering of several bright little ballads was most captivating. She was the recipient of beautiful basket of flowers.
 MT. Adams solo, ''The Old Stone Wall, {" was heartily encored.
 Taken as a whole the program was a most attractive one and was greatly en- joyed by the large and appreciative audi ence.
 The Ladies' Aid society of the church, under whose auspices the entertainment was given, had prepared collation. in the vestry of the church to which all who had taken part in the entertainment were in vited at the conclusion of the exercises.
