St. Andrews Day Celebrated in Warner Hall Last Evening-One of the Best Scot tish Concerts Ever Given in the City-A Galaxy of Talent Mere Than PIeases tue Large Audience of Honest Men and Bonnie Las7es.
 | Next to Burns day no other day in all the calendar year is more thought of or more enthusiastically observed by Scots than is St. Andrews day Scotch men are proud of Burns, proud of their lheeath-clad hills and justly proud of the many great men who have gone forth to make them famous and who have been honored the world over. Can we, then, blame them when we look back at its record of great men, men who have added fame to their land by their many brilliant achievements dur 1 ing the past century. It was right and proper then, that they should turn out in large numbers and do honor to their patron saint.
 | The audience at Warner hall last eve ming was thoroughly representative one and the hall has seldom if ever con- l Clan Mcleod is to be congratulated on the success which attended it's first eel ebration of St. Andrews day The con- cert was undoubtedly one of the best ever given here from a Scottish point of view
 The program was ably opened by MT. George Fulton of Meriden, late princi- pal tenor of the famous Balmoral choir. Mr. Fulton is possessed of a clear, sweet tenor voice and completely captivated his audience by his rendering of Here's Health Bonnie Scotland to Thee" He | had to respond to several encores
 Mrs. S. s. Thompson's rendition of
 "La Saran Rose" fully sustained her reputation and was met by a demand for an encore.
 1 Miss May Barrows of Providence, who although suffering from a severe cold, gave a good account of herself in ("Ro- byn'D Answer"
 l MT Harry Taggert, who is possessed of splendid baritone voice, which he uses to good effect, made more than a favorable impression on the audience by his singing of the wolf" and "The Battle of Stirling"
 l The hit of the evening was made by F. H. Whitlaw, the premier Scotch comic and Highland dancer. During
 the rendering of his songs he kept the audience in roars of laughter, "Jacl1 and His Carpet Bag being applauded
 to the echo His dancing of the High land fling in costume was especially l liked and he had to reaper three times before the audience could be satisfied. ! The duet, "The Singing Lesson," by Miss Barrows and MT. Taggert was l first-class, while Miss Sanford, who pre- sided at the piano, greatly added to the | concerts success.
 "Auh Lang Syne' by the company and audience was sung with a vim and vigor rarely exceeded in New Haven, and made a fitting termination to the evenings entertainment.
 1 The dance which followed was taken part in by about one hundred couples ! and was led by Chief John c. Morton and Mrs. P Thompson, Dancing was kept up with no cessation until the ''wee sma' hours"

GAME LAWS IN POLTED.
A Case Concerning This State Argued Be-
 fore Supreme Court.

Washington, Nov. 22.-In the supreme court to-day the case of Edgar M. Geer versus the state of Connecticut was argued by H. A. Hall for the plaintiff and by Solomon Lucas for the defend ant, in error.
 In this case one of the game laws of Connecticut is involved Geer was con- victed in New London of having un- lawfully received with unlawful intent
 to procure their transportation be- yond the limits of the state, certain woodoock, ruffled grouse and quail, killed within that state after October l. The birds were bought in the open markets in New London, and were in course of shipment to New York under contract of sale. Tn question presented is "a state, after permitting the killing of game birds and after allowing them to be bought and sold in the markets of the state, impose the restriction that they shall not be transported be- yond the limits of the state? Or in other words, can a state, by legislative enactment, constitute game birds an article of domestic commerce as dis tinguished from and as prohibiting in terstate commerce in them?'
 The supreme court of Connecticut was of opinion that the state could dc that. The supreme court of the United States will now give its opinion

Game and Fish.

Hartford, Nov. 22-The state fish and game commission, composed of Herbert
 Williams of Hartford, A. c. Collins of Hartford and James A. Bill of Lyme, met at the capitol to-day, audited bills and received bids for 1,500,00 trout fry to be distributed in the various retain ing ponds in the state. w. L. Gilbert,
 of Plymouth, Mass, the largest trout fry producer in the country, was pres ent at the meeting of the board and advised with the members upon points in connection with the propag agation of the fry. The board will meet in New Haven on Tuesday, December 3, for the purpose of deciding upon the bids for the fry. It is the intention of the con- mission to stock Pennington river with salmon and shad. No fry, however, will be placed in the river. All fry will be kept in the retainer until six inches long in the case of salmon and eight inches in the case of shad. In other words, no fish will be placed in the river until they are large enough to take of themselves and defend themselves against their natural enemies.

RECEPTI0N 70 DEBs.
A Train Load of His Admirers Went to the
 Jail to Meet Him,

Chicago, Nov. 22.--A trainload of ad- nlirers of E. V. Debs went to Wood- stock this afternoon and marched from the station to the jail where Debs stood on the steps awaiting them The liberated labor leader was given a great ovation. He was lifted up in the air and carried about in triumph Whiled the crowd shouted and band played ''See, the Conquering Hero Comes" When Debs was put down there began a handshaking sorie that lasted until the train was ready to start for Chicago. The visitors com- prised labor delegates and personal friends of Debs and numbered 300.
 Among those who went to Woodstock was ex-Governor Waite of Colorado He came all the way from Denver to be present. Dtbs threw his arms around the aged executives neck and said in a tremulous voice: God bless you, my boy" The governor seemed equally overcome. The march to the train was like the triumphal entry of a ruler The music was the Marseillaise and hundreds of citizens stood ankle deep in the snow to catch a glimpse of Debs
 Coming back to Chicago on the train Debs was obliged to walk twice through all the cars and shake hands with every occupant. When the delegation reached Chicago another crowd was waiting at the depot and the scene at Woodstock was duplicated From the depot, the line of march was taken up to Battery D, and in spie of a drlzzling rain the streets were filled with spectators, who joined the marchers. Five thousand people were at Battery D when the procession reached it and the meeting was soon called to order. Orrin E. Woodbury was chairman. Henry D. Lloyd spoke and said Debs was to-day the most popular man in the United States with the real people, because he was the repudiator Of government by injunction.
 Ex-Governor Waite made a charac- teristic speech. He said the decision by the courts in the Debs case reduced the American people to slavery. The supreme court was composed of tools of corporations. For the last twenty years IIlG Idu DSeH COIL ducted on the principles of the "people be damned" and the present indications were that the people had been well damned.
 Tommoy Morgan read letters from J. S. Coxey, Rev. H. N. Casson of Lynn, Samuel Gompers, D. o. Flower of Bos- ton, editor of Arena, and many others.
 Debs was greeted with a tremendous applause as he made h.s way to the front of the platform.
 After the meeting Debs said; T will go home and engage in office work con- nected with the American Railway union l will then start on tour of the country. making public speeches, partly in the interest Of the A. R. L., but generally in the interest of labor.' p

Replerlned a Petrifactian.

The alleged petrifed mar discovered
at Neosho a few months ago is having
a rocky time of it. For several days
the curiosity was on exhibition in
Springfield, and its possessors were
reaping a harvest of nickels and dimes
when a new claimant appeared on the
scene. in the person of a Mrs. Stillings,
of Neosho, who claims the find to be
the petrifed remains of her father,
Adam Kluck. She instituted ~replevin
proceeding for the stone. Its exhibitor
instituted counter proceedings, and
the legal contest that will grow out of
it will be of interest to science, as the
right of Mrs. Stillings' possession will
rest largely upon the determination of
the courts as to whether it is in reality
a petrified human body Or a hoax.
