PYGMALION AND GALATEA.

The "Pygmalion and Galatea" per-
formance at the Hyperion last evening
was given before an audience which
represented the best of New Haven's
social world. The cast enlisted the SER
vices of the best local talent and the
comedy was presented in a truly praise
worthy manner The crudities Of anna
teur work were nowhere to be seen,
and the excellent stage-management
testif1es to Mr.. Boomers skill as a
coach. There were two or three slips
that were amusing for the audience
and annoying to the actors, but on the
whole the performance went very
smoothly. 1t was the most ambitious
work that has been attempted here in
several years, and the preparation
must have cost considerable time and
labor to those concerned.
"Pygmalion and Galatea" is a serious
undertaking and represents a very diff
ferent order of endeavor from the pre-
sentation Of some trif1ing farce.
In the first act the actors seemed to
find difficulty in accommodating their
voices to the size of the auditorium.
In the second act there was more as
surance, and the climax was well
worked up. The third act was given
with considerable vivacity and spirit,
and made brilliant finish. At the end
of the second act the applause was
loud and continued. The floral tributes
that were passed over the footlights
must have represented a small fortune.
Such scene has not been witnessed
here since the "Antigone' of several
seasons ago. The entire company was
enthusiastically recalled and passed in
front of the curtain to bow their thanks
all excepting Miss Feuchtwanger, who
refused to appear. The audience would
have been glad to include her in the
ovation because her comedy work was
done with remarkable dexterity and
finesse.
AS to the cast: The parts were well
distributed and it is hard to say that
one excelled the other. Mrs. Jean Par
dee-Clark found in "Galatea" the hard
est sort of a part to attempt. That she
accomplished her task with such grace
and ease speaks high praise for her
abilities. Mr.. Bloomer as Pygmalion
showed a certain facility which his
professional experiences have brought,
which the others lack. Miss Jane Dill
Ion was a charming Cynisca and Miss
Jennie Coombs was a good ingenue.
Mr.. Clayton Brown made a fine impos-
ing warrior and Messrs. Stires and
Rodgers accomplished their small tasks
successfully. Albert Milander and Miss
Belle Feuchtwanger in the comedy roles
proved again that they have talent for
such parts that is OF an unusual order.
Mr.. Milander's makeup was excellent,
and he has a sort of Robsonian squeak
in his voice that is very funny. Miss
Feuchtwanger had small part, but
she played with the usual felicity of
manner.
The stage effects of lighting and pos
ing were we'll managed.

THE MINUTES OBJECTED TO
COMMISSIONER STATES STANDS BY
HIS RESOL UTION.

Sewer Contracts Awarded-Motion to Ad-
journ Lost-The Mayor Dissolved the
Meeting When He Saw the Democrats
Leaving-Corporation CounsePs Opinion
Not Read.
The deliberations of the board of pub
lie works were presided over by Mayor
Hendrick last evening. All the men,
bers We're present. When the minutes
of the last meeting We're read Commits
sioner johnson raised an objection to
that part which referred to the instruc-
tions of President McGann to Assistant
superintendent of Streets Ives to hire
help to run the stone crusher and road
roller. The reading was continued by
the clerk, and when he had fin
ished, Mr.. States, who had offered
the Objectionable resolution at the last
meeting, said that he believed that the
heads of departments should hire all
help and be responsible for the work
in his department. He asked that the
minutes be accepted. The republicans
amended by motion to lay upon the
table, which was carried, the mayor
voting with the republicans, dissolving
the tie, There was then an informal
talk, which was interrupted by the
mayor, who said that there was some
business to be transacted.
Mr.. States said that he would stay
and award sewer contracts, but that he
would not participate in any other bus
mess until a final disposition had been
made of the minutes of the last meet
ing.
The sewer contracts were then
awarded as follows

Kimberly avenue to German, Wharton,
& Bowden, s10635.50.

Sylvan avenue and Stevens street,
Ii Olil w illHTOD avenue W davenport
avenue, A. Brazos & Son. $3.563.
When the sewer contracts had been
disposed of Mr.. States reiterated his
position as to the minutes. There was
no manifestation of a desire on the
part of the republicans to take the
minutes from the table and Mr.. States
moved an adjournment. 1t was lost
by the same vote as the one taken on
the acceptance of the minutes. The
three democratic members then arose
and said good evening. Mr.. States lott
cred in the room with hat and overcoat
on talking with his republican col
leagues. During the colloquy which
transpired the mayor declared the
meeting adjourned.
This evidently escaped Commission
er Hoyt, who seeing Mr.. States still
in the room, said, Mr.. Mayor, I think
there is communication from the cor
poration counsel on the table, and ]
move that it be read.
Commissioner States said "If l am
not mistaken his honor has declared
this board adjourned. Am not right,
Mr.. Mayor"
The mayor confirmed the statement
of the commissioner, adding that he
should call a special meeting at an
early date.

TO SAVE THE ELM TREES
WHAT no USE AND NOW IT SHOULD
BE APPLIED.
A Thorough Spraying at the Proper Time
All That is Necessary-It WIN Cost Less
Than One Dollar Per Tree.

A Thorough Spraying at the Proper Time
All That is Necessary-It win Cost Less
Than One Dollar Per Tree.
THE two preparations which have SO
far been found to be most effective in
the spraying Of trees to destroy the
Beetles" said Prof. Jenkins of the agri-
cultural experiment station last even
ing to Journal and Courier reporter,
are Paris green and arsenate of lead.
Both these ingredients must be sus-
pended in water to be used.
THE Paris green may be mixed in
the proportion of one pound to $50 gall
Ions of water, adding small quantity
of common molasses or ordinary paste
so as to make the emulsion stick more
effectually to the leaves.
"The arsenate Of lead may be used
at less ratio, but it's use is hardly to
be recommended, though in many re-
spectsit is the most convenient.
"The spraying should be done by
steam pump. 1t should have power
enough to throw the spray thirty feet
from the nozzle, and the hose should
be thirty feet in length. With such an
apparatus the largest and the tallest
tree in the city can be effectually treat
ed. The hose used should be capable Of
standing pressure Of 15O pounds to the
inch.
For trees less than twenty feet high
and of small extension of branches a
hand engine may be used, though
many who tried them last year did not
have much success.
"The time to apply the mixture is
when the leaf is about half grown or
in about ten days from the time it
bursts from the bud. The female
makes it's appearance when the leaf
is about three weeks old, and it eats
part Of the leaf though it's chief busi-
ness is to lay the eggs for the future
crops of worms.
"The worms are Matched in short
time and begin their ravages. If the
spraying has been done well, and there
have been no rains within few days
after the application has been made,
one spraying will be all that is neces-
sary. IT, however, the rains come with
in a few hours after the application is
made there may be necessity for a
second spraying.
1.-THE cost per tree in Norwalk, where
this work has been more effectually
done than anywhere else in Connecti-
cut, was from seventy-five cents to 81.
Prof. Jenkins saw the trees in Nor
walk in August, and those which had
received the application were green and
in full foliage, while those that had not
been treated looked as if fire had been
through them.
No apprehension need be entertained
for the trees treated even if neighbour
ing trees are let CO. Though to entirely
eradicate the evil all should receive
treatment.
There is no danger of harm to birds
or animals from the use Of either of
the preparations described, so that no
one need be debarred from their use be-
cause Of apprehension of injury to their
pets Many Of the citizens have al
ready arranged with New York firms
to begin spraying their trees as soon as
necessary

TAX COMMISSIONS HERRING.
Attachments and Extension of Time Asked
by Delinquents.

Attachments and Extension of Time Asked
by Delinquents.
A hearing was given those persons
on the delinquent tax list whose names
begin with the letters A and B by the
joint commission last evening to show
cause why they should not pay the
claims against them. There were
about twenty before the committee,
which, after listening 10 the circum-
stances of the cases, went into execu-
tive session. This is the final hearing
on these claims. At the next meeting
the commission will try to complete the
list.
1t was understood last evening at the
close of the session that the policy of
the commission was to realize some
thing out of each of the claims.
There We're two men before the COM
mission last evening who showed a de-
sire to pay none of the claims against
them. One was a junk dealer who was
firm in his statements that he would
not pay a tax assessed on his vocation,
though he owned house. The COM
missioners reminded him that they
could proceed against his house. This
did not have any effect upon him, how
ever. He will have from now till July
to pay UP in, but it is not very likely
that he will have much longer. An ex~
saloon keeper was also very much op-
posed to paying his delinquency. He
was dismissed by the chairman, as it
was evident that there was no infor-
nation to be obtained as to the fellows
real standing.

OPPOSED TO GEN. FRANKLIN
THE OLD FIGHT AGAINST HIS RE-
ELECTION rs RENEWED.

Representative Blue Moved to Strike Out
His Name and Made a Bitter Speech
Against the Connecticut Man-Charged
That He Was Negligent or Dishonest
in His Office.
Washington, April 15.-The old fight
against the reelection of General w.
B. Franklin of Connecticut as men,

Soldiers home, and against the reten"

chairman of the committee on military
affairs, called up the joint resolution
reported from that committee provid"

board; of General T. j. Henderson, an
ex-member of congress from Illinois,
to succeed General j. c. Black, ex-
commissioner of pensions, and of Cen
eral G. l.. Beale of Maine to succeed
General Fessenden of the same state.
Mr.. Blue, rep, of Kansas, moved to
strike out the name of General Frank
lin and insert that of General o. 0,
Howard, and upon that addressed the
house for two hours. He bitterly ar
raigned General Franklin's admins
tration as president of the managers,
declaring that he was virtually the
board, dominating it's policy and ac-
ton. He charged, he said, from the
record, that General Franklin was
either grossly negligent, grossly incom-
petent or was not honest. He held
that the general was responsible for
the retention in Office of Colonel Smith,
whom he accused of drunkenness, fire.
