GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

There was large audience present yesterday to witness the presentation of "The Grand Duchess The opera is full of fun, and as the principal roles were in the hands of the old favorites it was we'll sung. Nothing can be said about the Wilbur Opera company at this time that has not already been said time and again, but there is something to be said regarding the living picture adjunct of the company that is con- spicuous picture of the performances this season, and it will not be an old song, because there never has been oc- casion to say anything of the kind in New Haven before. Nothing so pre- tentious as the Wilbur display has been attempted in this city before. About twenty pictures are shown after the performance of the opera last night This afternoon every lady attending the performance will be presented with a picture of one of the living pictures. The opera to be sung to-day, both af- ternoon and evening, is Dorothy"

HYPERION.

That every clever American actor, MT. Robert Hilliard, appears tonight with good company. His work as the politician in Blue Jeans" his career with "Mr. Barnes of New York, and 1.-The Nominee,' etc., will be readily re- called by his admirers. But in none of these productions has he given, so
 strong a portrayal of character as he is now giving in the new society comedy ''Lost-24 Hours This comedy will be presented by Mir Hilliard and his ex- cellent company tonight. It just hits the reigning demand for refined society comedy. The better class of theater patrons crave it, and to get their pat ronage the enterprisins manager must provide it. In this respect MT. Robert Hilliard is particularly fortunate. In this bright society comedy he apparent 1y has exactly what the class above

 Della Fox and her Comic Opera com pany will present "Fleur de Lis" on Saturday night. An exchange says; The Della Fox Comic Opera company brought heir latest production, "Fleur de Lis" to the Amphion theater last night, where it had it's first represen- tation outside of New York city. The spacious theater was crowded in every part, and the opera was received with demonstrations of approval that al- most justify the hackneyed term, en- thusiastic. "Fleur de Lis has story more consistent than is common with comic opera. Sale of seats now open.
 La Loie Fuller will appear on Tues day night, April 2S. An exchange says: It was 10 o'clock or after when the drop curtain went up and revealed huge darkened interior. Then, after few moments of waiting, Miss Fuller was seen advancing toward the center as the Queen of Night. Lights from above, from either side and below threw be- wildering and dazzling colors upon her, and as she twirled around, advanced, retired and moved her arms, the effect was really wonderful and artistic, for the colors are all arranged and graded with the utmost care, and the result was a series of effects of stars, the moon, crescents and other firmamental belongings.

 Ada Rehan has gone! Two weeks of such an actress is not enough for us. She is the grandest figure on our stage to-day, and if Father Time has spark Of gallantry in him, he will let her remain so for years to come.

The Art of it.

That's what makes our mill inery so popular. As much art, and skill, and careful re- gard for color harmony in our low priced hats as most stores put into their very best.
 Because the violet is less regal than the rose is no req son why 1t should be less beautiful,
 Styles and appearace are not due solely to expensive material.

transparency, even when the difference OF
temperature is but very slight. Such cur
rents may cause deep water to appear blue
by rejecting light back from its depths
through the transparent layers above.
This, it is suggested, explains the fact that
fresh water lakes are more transparent In
Winter than in Summer, because in Winter
currents of heated water are not traversing
them.
Even the shadow of mountain falling on
q lake may increase the transparency OF the
water by cooling the surface. The we'll
known theory Of scientists concerning this
matter has been that pare water appears
blue when light is transmitted through
certain thickness oft, and that, when Opaque
particles are suspended in it the hue of the
water is greenish, but while pure water looks
blue when light passes freely through 1t, yet
when it is in deep receptacle, like the
basin of lake, or the ocean, it ought to
absorb all the light and look black.

YUKON CUSTOMS.
Indian Girls Given Away and Squaws Us
as Dogs.

Indian Girls Given Away and Squaws Used
as Dogs.
There were formerly many curious traits
of character and queer customs that pre-
vailed among the tribes inhabiting the up
per Yukon country. Perhaps the most bar
barrie of all was in the treatment of the
female infants, says the Alaska Nenrs. Just
after the child is born she is intrusted to
some one Of the opposite sex of advanced
age who has selected her for his future wife,
During the time before arriving at that age
when she has become wife, her male guar
dian, for such he now is, has to contribute a
certain portion of his spoils of the chase to
her support.
IF, before she arrives at that age, she dis
pleases her lord, or he tires of supporting
her, she is given no more food, and is starved
to death Should female be born and no
man wants to provide for her and claim her
as his future wife, then she is not allowed to
live. All the male infants are. however,
brought up, as they will make good hunters.
Consequently, it is estimated that for every
female there are 100 males.
Curious as it may seem, the two sexes
live separate a greater portion of the time.
Both men and women dress alike, and one
unaccustomed to them is unable to dIstin-
guish one from the other, unless very close
by. During the Winter these people travel
together with dogs and sled, and in the Sum
mer by BIRCH bark canoes.
They also convert their dogs and even
their squaws into pack animals; and 1t is
a curious. sight to see long pack-traln OF
dogs loaded with from 20 to 80 pounds eacn,
and the line broken here and there with a
human being laboring under her pack OF a
hundred pounds.
Their canoes are very diminutive in size
and of inferior construction, and it IS an I'M
| possibility for one not accustomed to tbelI
use to sit in them without upsetting. They
| are built to hold but one person, and then
sitting fiat in the bottom with knees CURED
under SO as to occupy the least space pos

These Indians are very moral In their
habits and strictly honest. II one IS hum

New BattIeshipS.

In designing the three new battleships it
was sought to present vessels with lighter
draft than most ships of their class, in order to
guarantee entrance into faieimportant seacoast
harbors under ordinary tiialiconditions This
is an important point in naval construction,
and will be carried out in future ships so far as
size will permit. The Columbia and New York
have frequently been unableto get to the Nor
folk Navy-yard without risk of grounding OH .
lump in the harbor, and, with their 26-feet
draft, are liable to ground in most of the lead
ing harbors on this coast. THE draft of the
battleships has been reduced to 90 feet inches,
and it is not believed they will exceed that by
an inch when commissioned and fully equipped
for duty.
The vessels will be sisters each having q
length of 1868 feet; beam extreme, II feet; free
board, forward, 10 feet inches; freeboard, aft.
IL feet inches; normal displacement, 11,6O0
tons; mean draft, % feet inches; indicated
horse power, 10000, and alspsed of 16 knots or
knot in excess of that called for by the In
diana class. They will shave normal coal
supply of 800 TONS and q total coal bunker
capacity of 1000 tons.
