Arranger Of all life,

She sets the stars in melody and rhyme
And makes the periods with each other

Pouring her hopes into the dark recesses
Threading her way through the vague
wildernesses-
She fashions, rules, designs, and dwells
within the light,
Which is the heart Of hearts, and very
sight of sight.

Poli,s Wonderland Thaater.

Lumiere's cinematographe and the Rossow midgets are proving great double attraction this week, and the enthusiasm is about as great for one as the other. The views shown by the cinematographe are judiciously blended admixture of comedy and pie turesqueness, and the realistic manner in which they are produced makes them tremendously attractive, The Rossows are the most wonderful little fellows imaginable, their marvellous pugilistic and acrobatic attachments making their performance very amusing and inter- esting. Other clever specialties are in- troduced by Mr and Miss Quinn, the Casino Four, Miss Freddie Huke, Mer- ritt and Gallagher, Mile. Oceana, and MT. Kelly and Miss St. Clair. The cin- ematographe Is shown afternoons at 3 and 5, and evenings at S:30 and 10:20.

YALE SOUTHERN CLUB.

Annual Meeting Last Evening-At-

 on Political Questions.
 The Yale Southern club held its an- nual meeting at 176 Lyceum last even- ing with MT. Gavan of the law school presiding. It was voted to hold two "set tos," commonly known as ban quets, one just before and the other just after Christmas, the date to be decided upon later. Just before the meeting adjourned an attempt was made to pass resolution calling for the opinion of the club on the present political question, but motion to ad- iourn was put and carried before the resolution could be voted upon. It is said that the majority of the members are gold men.

The Waltonian Club to Hold a Banquet at the Club House in Northford To- Day.
 The Waltonian club will hold a gala day to-day at the club house in North ford. The club is composed, as it's name implies, of disciples of the i'm mortal Izaak, among the members be- ing some of New Haven's best known lovers of piscatorial sports. The club has recently purchased the old Board man place in Northford and has trans formed the old residence into fine club house.
 This afternoon the members of the club to the number of about fifty, will leave the city for the club house in car- riages After arriving there they will sit down to a sumptuous spread. After dinner the gentlemen will look over the stock pond for fish. About 5000 one year-old trout were taken from the stock pond last spring and placed in the various ponds and brooks in the
 
 club. A new method of liberating fish has been adopted and has worked very successfully It had, up to a year or two ago, been the custom to liberate the fish in the fall. It was concluded that the fish would thrive better if lib- erated in the spring, and several thou send were set free last spring in the streams in the vicinity of the club house, and thousands more will get their freedom next spring.
 The membership of the club include some of the best known business and professional men of the city. The off, cers are: President, ex-Police Com missioner s. s. Thompson; secretary, Dr E. s. o. Gaylord; treasurer, sam uel H. Kirby, the Chapel street ieweler. David H. Clark, the well known build CT, is prominent member of the exec utive committee.

Grand Opera House.

A report having been circulated that Miss Susie Kirwin is not with the Will bur Kirwin Opera company, those who have attended the excellent perform ances given can testify that this charm- ing singer appears at every perform
 ance given, and a visit to the Grand to hear the operas rendered by this ex cellent organization will not be regret ted by all lovers of good music.
 A large audience was present last evening, which grew enthusiastic as the opera progressed, and encores were quite frequent. The opera was staged in a magnificent manner, especially in the second act, showing the throne room of the royal palace at Lisbon, Portugal. In this scene the costumes were truly regal, and it is not to be wondered at that Manager Wilbur has spent for tune in staging the several operas that are included In the company's reperto- ry. It is some time since Miss Kirwin appeared before New Haven audi ence, but the ovation she received last night shows that she Is still leading favorite with local theatergoers. Her voice has lost none of it's old-time viz
 or, and as for her acting, 1t was never anything else but excellent. Miss Kir- win appeared in the role of Irene" the queens confldante, which character fitted her to perfection. In the second act, at the conclusion of one of her so- los she was presented with a beautiful | bouquet of roses.
 Summed up, Miss Kirwin makes a thoroughly enjoyable singer and act ress, and the varied roles which she
 assumes show her wonderful versatil- ity. Her support, from a musical standpoint, was unusually strong, as both principals and chorus discount, by far, the other company of Manager Wilbur's, which was seen at the Grand last season Miss Carla Englander,
 who assumed the part of the queen of Portugal, has soprano voice of rare
 range, which she handles in an artistic manner Comedian Ben Lodge kept his auditors in roars of laughter by his quaint sayings and up-to-date jokes. l And for a comedian he has fairly good voice. When the king asked Don Sancho De La Avellando," minister of public instruction-that was MT. Lodge | how he caught cold, he replied: Il caught q cold, your majesty, from l sleeping in room with damp pitch
 er," and then the audience was con-
 vulsed with laughter at the maner in
 which the comedian got off the joke.
 MT. Lodge appeared here with the Ben- nett and Moulton company some years
 ago. Clayton Ferguson has pure ten or voice of considerable power which 1 he uses in a skillful manner. As the
 prime minister of Portugal, Douglas
 Flint helped out MT. Lodge with the comedy work, and his rich, deep bass
 voice was heard to advantage in solos,
 duets and trios. The fancy march of
 the bull fighters, which took place in | the third act, was both novel and fas- cinating.
