A HAPPY THOUGHT.

Joy reigns in the two orphan asyIums
and it was a very happy thought" of
the genial press agent for the Gounod
society, c. #. Southland, who is also adj
vertising manager for F. M. Brown Ss
Co., to suggest the idea of inviting the
orphans to attend the full rehearsal Of
the Gounod musical festival at the
armory this afternoon. This rehearsal
is practically the full evening concert.
Mr.. Southard has been in this city
four years and every Christmas has
found the children of the poor remem-
bered through his agency. Last sum-
mer the great Brownie balloon demon
stration on the green was his planning,
and the silk badges on Washington's
birthday for all the school children was
another of his moves. Now all the chill
dren of the two orphan asylu1ns are to.

ton festival orchestra and the Gounod

YALE ART scHooI LECTURE.


"a Glimpse of Holland in the Time of
Rembrandt"-Last Lecture of the Series
The Course n Financial Success,
The lecture room in the Yale Art
school was well filled last evening to
hear the sixth and last lecture of the
series of lectures which Prof. Weir has
been giving on "Some of the Principal
Centers and Masters in Art"
Before commencing his lecture Prof
Weir made the following statement:
Before beginning my lecture l would
say that the proceeds of this course.
including that part of it which was
given last spring, have amounted to a
little more than $1,000. After deduct
ing the expenses of the lectures this
has enabled me to refund to the college
treasury the sum borrowed on my per-
sonal note Cor the completion of the
model oe the Woolsey statue, which
sum. with interest to date, amounted
to $735.
The announcement was received with
ANNS1A
The lecturers subject, "A Glimpse of
Holland in the Time of Rembrandt" :"
was one of the most interesting in the
series, and was profusely illustrated
with typical scenes in Holland and
some of Rembrandts masterpieces.
The impressions and scenes met with
by Prof. Weir while travelling and
studying in Holland gave the audience
a good foundation for considering some
of Rembrandts works.
Rembrandt was described as the
most modern of all painters, more mod
ern indeed than some of the masters
of French art to-day.
In the spirituality of his conceptions
he represented the new idea of the
| Reformation.
| A profound thinker he was by his
| habits OF thought and life i'll suited to
| become popular man or artist among
| those with whom he lived and worked.
His name is not even mentioned by a
| traveller who visited Holland and wrote
about it's artists. 1t is said that the
Bible was never really Illustrated until
Rembrandt. He was the first to catch
| the spiritual universally of the New
| Testament and impress it upon the cam
vas, using the people and customs with
which he had been familiar in his ma
| tive Holland in his Bible scenes. 1t has
| bene said that if one desired to learn
| the real breadth and freedom of relig-
| ious thought in the Holland of Rem
| brandt's day they should not look at
the works Of Luther or Calvin or his
tory, but at the pictures of Rembrandt

Washington, April 16.-There was a
long conference in Speaker Reeds room
to-day at Which were also present
Messrs. Dingley of Maine, Dalzell of
Pennsylvania, Payne of New York, and
Pickler of South Dakota. Mr.. Piclller's
invalid pension committee has recently

timore game was begun. While the
champions We're at bat in the eighth
and ninth innings with chance to win
the game thousands of throats kept up
an awful din, but Kennedy maintain
ed his composure and finally Brooklyn

marked by loose fielding, the cham

with some very harmful errors. An

NEW HAVEN oRcHEsrRAL CLUB.

The second concert given by the New
Haven Orchestral club, Mr.. Arthur H.
Jackson, conductor, was held in the
Hyperion last evening. The theater
was well filled and with most en-
thusiastic audience. The club was as
sisted by the Apollo quintet as fol-
lows: Mr. w. S. Moyle first tenor; Mr..
G. Chadwick Stock, second tenor; DR..
D. A. Jones, baritone; Mr.. F. S. Weld,
first bass, and Mr.. L. r. Goodyear,
second bass. The program opened
with the playing of Sousa's march,
1.-THE Directorate" by the orchestra,
which was well rendered, The over
ture' "L'Espoir de L'Alsace,' by Her.
man was a pleasing number. The
quintet then sang two numbers, MUIR
muring Rill,'' by Mohring, and Sail
ors' Song by Hattun. The quintet
was loudly applauded and responded
to the encore, singing Courtship.'
The next number was the playing
of the Serenade, Magnolia" by Mis-
sud, with cornet obligato by Mr.. Clar-
ence w. Clark Mr.. Clarks obligato
was artistically executed, the number
being loudly applauded.
The last number on the first part
was the rendering of Geary's Sylvan
Reveries" waltz, which was very
prettily done.
The selection, "Chimes of "Nor-
mand," by Planquette, opened the Sec
ond part, followed by the merry piece,
Patrol "The Cake Walk" by
Krell, which won hearty applause, and
the number was, in response, repeated.
'"The Long Day Closes" by Sulli-
van, sung by the quintet, was excel
lent and was warmly applauded. They
sang Good Night for the encore.
The last number was the WAR
March of the Priests" by Mendels-
sohn, which made a fitting climax.
The club never played any better
than it did last night, and the ap-
plause they received was well deserv-
ed.

A Large Audience at the Grand.

Despite the intense heat of last night
the opera house was comfortably cool.
owing to the use of the electric fans,
and also to the superior ventilation OF
the house. Richard Golden made his
annual appearance in his old piece,
"Old Jed Prouty," and was greeted by
a large audience. Of the many Yankee
plays which have been bestowed on
the public since Denman Thompson's
success none have met with a more
solid success than "Old Jed Prouty"
The many presentations of the play in
this city make it unnecessary to re-
hearse the plot This piece has met
with great success all over the coun-
try. While there Is no material alter
tion in the scenes of this play or it's
dialogue, his production on the whole is
signal improvement on the original
one some seasons ago, and such new
matter as has been introduced tends
to brighten the story and heightens its
interest to no mean extent. Richard
Golden has rounded and mellowed his
personation of the shrewd old Yankee.
and he was at all times the center of
his best last night, and there are few
more delightfully."- humorous and ANUS
ing actors than he. The only change
of moment in the cast was the substi-
tuition of Miss Katherine Kitteman.
The little that is given her to do in this
role she did tellingly, and it must be
said for this lady that she succeeded
in doing what is of rare ACCOMPLISH
ments-making much out of little. The
audience last night was a friendly one
and apt to enthuse on the slightest
warrant; but then, the soothing inf1u-
ence of this often refreshingly humor-
Gus and at times poetic Yankee idyl
is apt to make an audience exceed
ingly good-natured. If it's reception
last night is an indication, "Old JEDI
can easily draw large audiences this
and tomorrow night and at the matt
nees to-day and tomorrow. Last
night Jed Prouty made speech to the
audience between the acts and was
roundly applauded.
There is each evening a bean guess
ing contest by the audience as to the
numbers of beans in a glass jar and
the one guessing the correctrnumber or
nearest to it will be presented with a
handsome gramophone. The occasion
is the revival of an old time Sunday
morning custom at Prouty's tavern,
Bucksport, Me. There was great
deal of interest taken in the contest
last night and, no doubt it will in
crease during the remainder of the en-
gagement gramaphone goes to the
successful guesser at each perform-
ance.

Agreed on a Code of Rules.

Princeton, N. j., April 16-The Har-
ward and Princeton management has
agreed upon code of rules governing
the eligibility of players. Princeton
favored restricting the players in each
team TO undergraduates. Harvard,
however, desired to allow graduate
members of the university to partici-
pate in the games. A compromise was
reached permitting graduates who had
been enrolled in their present UNIVERSE
ty year and who had graduated from
that university Princeton was unable
to draw Harvard into a permanent
agreement. This fact is believed by
Princeton men to signify that Harvard
intends to break with Princeton and
DIN hands with Yale at the first oppor-
tunity.

SOME BRILLIANT CATCHES.

Washington, April 16.-The baseball
season of 1896 was opened auspiciously
for the Washington club. Gleason S
two low throws and Clark's wild pitch
in the fifth inning allowed five runs
eventually to be scored. There were
$500 people present and they filled
every seat on the grounds. The day
was Just the kind for spirited game,
the weather being warm enough to
loosen the kinks in the players arms.
The field work of H. Davis, Stafford,
and Zearfoss was brilliant Abbey
made some remarkable catches, his
total being eight putouts. Demontre-
Vile and Rogers also played phenome-
nal games. While fewer hits were reg
istered against Clark than against
Mercier the latter pitched the better,
as he did not give base on balls, while
Clark gave three and hit a man.

FRAU KLAEsKY-L0HSE.
She and Her Husband viii be at the New
Haven House all tho Week.

Haven House all the Week.
Several members of the Gounod COM
mittee called on Frau Klafsky and Herr
Lohse at their apartments in the New
Haven house yesterday. The celebrat-
ed singer and her husband have a
pleasant front suite on the third floor
overlooking the green. They will re-
main in town through the week and
are taking great interest in the con-
certs Frau Klafsky has obtained a
piano from M. Steinert & Sons, and
the room has very pleasant home
like aspect. On the piano yesterday
were the Stabat Mater score and a copy
Of the Meistersinger quintet. To one
of the committee, who spoke German
(Frau Klafsky knows nothing of Eng
lish), the singer talked most interest
ingly of her career and of her musical
experiences.
Frau Klafsky is busy now for more
than a month with festivals and single
concerts. She is singing at all the big
musical festivals this year. AS to next
year, her plans are not yet certain. She
will sing in Buda-P Pesth and in Ham,
burg. The Buda-Pesth engagement
would mean a great deal to Klafsky,
who is part Hungarian herself. The
Hamburg season is personal triumph
over Pollini, the well known Hamburg
impressario. Pollini swore that he
would never allow Klafsky to sing in
any of his theaters again if she broke
with him to come to America. He has
found out, however, that Klafsky is a
necessity and has retented, and now
offers her most flattering terms to come
back
One of Klafsky's fondest memories is
her singing Of "Fidelio" under DR.. Hans
Won Bulow. Won Bulow came to Ham
burg to direct a special performance OF
Beethoven's great work, and Klafsky
sang the title role. The doctor, as
everybody knows, was a most cantan-
kerous and sarcastic old gentlemen,
who almost never said anything nice
of any one. When he praised any one,
therefore, it meant a great deal. After
the "FideIio" Won Bulow came to Klafs-
ky and with tears in his eyes threw
himself on his knees before her.
Spreading his arms with helpless ges-
LuTe, he Sdlus IleIe dill oll liiy haAOSo'
1t is the only speech / can command" !"
Frau Klafsky also told of the famous
Mozart cyclus at which she was the
prima donna. Donna Anna" in don
Giovanni is one of her favorite roles.
Frau Klafsky showed her generosity
by her praise of such people as Jean de
Reske, Maurel and others.
The Lohses have been rendered
many invitations for their stay in the
city. They have refused everything.
however, until after to-night's concert,
They found yesterdays weather rather
enervating. Both are in excellent
