BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Report of the Committee on Schools
 The Graduating Exercises to Be
 Held at the Hyperion Wednesday,
 April 26.
 The board of education met at o'clock last evening. After the reading of the min utes of the last meeting, the committee on schools made the following recommenda- tions, which were adopted:
 The committee recommended tEe assign ment of Miss Mary L. Daniels to Webster school as extra teacher; also the assign ment of Miss Mary s. Hyland as assistant in No. 1, West street school.
 The National Educational association, department of superintendence, meets in Boston February 21, 22 and 23. Superin- tendent Curtis was given permission to at tend. It was voted to grant half holiday on February 22.
 The committee on special instruction recommended the adoption of several new English, German and French text books, which have been made necessary by the raisinR of the requirements for admission to Yale university. The purchase of the books recommended was authorized. Presi- dent Graves then said that as the Hyperion could not be secured from April 27-30, it would be necessary to hold the graduating exercises at some other time, and suggest ed that Tuesday, April 25, should be the date for the graduating exercises, thus giv- ing an opportunity for the promenade on the following evening.
 Eli Whitney, jr., said that in his opinion the promenade would be much better done away with if possible, as it was so much of an expense to great many who could ill afford it. After some discussion 1t was decided to hold the exercises on Wednes- day, April 26. Consequently if the prom enade Is held this year it will be somewhere else than the Hyperion. One of the mem- bers of the board said that he understood that the armory had already been engaged for this purpose, as the Hyperion was too crowded last year for comfort. The board then went into executive session.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

Manager 0. H. Smith to Inaugurate a
 New System of Theatrical Perform
 ances at the New Haven Opera House
 on Monday.
 For the first time in the history of the stage in this city a system of continuous performance will be inaugursted at one of the first class theaters in this oity next week. The place at which this new de- psrture will be insugurated is the New Haven opera house, 0. H. Smith manager. For some time past MT. Smith has been presenting exceptionally fine shows at popular prices of admission and his efforts have been appreciated by the theater-going public of the city. Monday he will in augurate a system of continuous per formance, opening at 1:SO p. m. and con- tinuing uninterruptedly until 1O:3O p. m.
 The system of continuous performances has been for several years big success in Philadelphia, Boston and Providence, and was recently introduced at Prootor's theater in New York city, where it has also scored an unqualified success. In each of these cities the theaters are opened at 1:30 o'clock and run continuously until 1o:oo F. LII auu Culb saIuo plau VIII D6 carried out at the local house. The per formances include high class vaudeville artists, comedy, opera and sketches. It will be the aim of the management to cater especially to ladies and children, and nothing which could possibly offend the taste of the most fastideous will be at any time permitted on the stage.
 With the new departure in style of enter tainment offered, will be inaugurated new system of prices. Hereafter the price of admission to the orchestra will be 25 cents, balcony 20 cents, gallery 15 cents, with no reserved seats in any part of the house. For these prices anyone can go into the theater and remain as long as they please, either ten minutes or nine hours.
 The bill offered for the inaugural of this new departure is one of par excellence, and includes such well-known people of the vaudeville stage as Montague and West, Dan Reed and family, Miss Nellie Parker, Mallaly and Carl, Kamashi. Professor Burke's dog circus, Sisters; O 'Brien, Millett Brothers and about forty others. With such bill 1t is safe to assume that the new departure will be an unqualified suc- cees in this city.

A Church War.

BRIDGEPORT, Feb. 1.-The town of Long Hill, few miles from this city, is in a state of great excitement over church fight in which Methodists and Catholics are involved. A few days ago Father Fox, the Catholic priest, started fair in hall Rev. MT. Taft, the Methodist minister, openly denounced it as a gambling scheme and from the pulpit he threatened to bring the priest to justice. He also threatened MT. Middlebrook, the owner of the hall, with arrest. There is intense feeling over the matter,

A vIorIm oF PooI nooms.

l.. F. Johnson of the SeSior Class at Yale Among the Missfng-Squan. dered His Money Playing the Races He Left Debts Behind Him to the Amount of $l,OOO
 l.. F. Johnson of Bangor, Me, former member of the senior class at Yale, is the latest victim of the pool room craze re- ported. For some time past he has been missing from his accustomed haunts in this city and both friends and creditors are anxious to know of his whereabouts.
 Johnson boarded at 2S1 Crown street, but has not been there since a week ago last Monday, when he started ostensibly to attend chapel, but has never returned. His trunk and other effects are there yet. That night he attended the City Guard ball. Where he went to after that cannot even be conjectured. lie came here from Bangor, Me-, but he has no mother or father living now, and 1t is not supposed that he has gone there. There is host of creditors awaiting his return, and should he make his appearance In town things would be made decidedly interesting for him. It Is estimated that Johnson owed | nearly 1000.
 It was learned yesterday that Johnson | had not attended recitations since last October. Under the pretense of living in college he succeeded in running up large bills with several local merchants, who have been unable to collect dollar from him all winter. What money he had John son would spend ''playing the races. " Some two years ago he became infatuated with the sport and has been getting deeper and deeper involved. Last fall he ordered @ handsome $60 overcoat of F. A. Corbin and pawned 1t few days later in order to obtain money to ''play the races." The coat has never been redeemed, nor has Cor. bin received anything for 1t.
 He has owed Henry Barnes of the Mag ara Laundry company $50 since last June During last commencement Johnson bor rowed $30 from MT. Barnes. He ther owed him bill of $20 for laundry work and promised to pay the full amount 1T ten days, but up to the present time has failed to redeem his promises.
 Besides being 8 victim of the pool rooml Johnson had decided weakness for tn society of women of questionable chsrsc ter. Between the two vices Johnson led
 gay and rapid but disastrous career at col lege. A week ago Monday he borrowe, nearly $i00 from Church street none, lender who makes @ specially of givin loans to students on notes To this mal he owes about $500. There are sewers l others to whom he Is indebted to amount varying from $20 to $100.

 The selection of MT. George Stock to sing the part of Frederick" Is 8 most wise one. MT. Stock is not widely known here in New Haven, as he has been away from the city for several years travelling in the 1t is generally conceded that Miss Ingersoll, with her usual ability for ferreting out the best talent in the city, has secured in him @ prize. Miss Gaffney's reputation Is too we'll known in this city to need comment. Mrs. Blinn is also one of the oldest and best known singers in the city, and has considerable operatic talent.
 The costumes will be something mag niacent. Miss Ingersoll has designed them all and Mrs. Josephine Lazrens Lennox of New York, 8 woman of wide stage ex- perience, is now making them. The stage settings and management will be under the direction of MT. Napier Lothien, jr., who was stage manager for Mary Ander- son on her last trip to London, and has also staged "Tar and Tartar" and "Jupi ter.n MT. Lothien says that the stage will be in perpetual motion, every part of the body being kept moving.
 The selection of Hr. Leavenworth for the part of major general is most excel lent one. He has had considerable ex- perience in amateur theatricals and has considerable talent as an actor. It has not yet been decided who will play the part of the police fergeant. Thomas Daley has been spoken of for the part, but Miss h. gerson has not yet announced her de- cision.
 There will be stage rehearsal at the Hyperion some evening this week.
