ENTEKTAINMENT IN VEST HAVEN

Tomorrow by the Helping Hand Mission
Circle-A Unique and Interesting Pro-
gram Provided.
The Helping Hand Mission circle of
the Congregational church, West Ha
ven, composed of a bright set of young
misses, have a very unique way of at
tracing the eye of the public to a fine
supper and entertainment given under
the auspices of the circle tomorrow,
April Is, in the chapel.
The program is printed in the Oneida
language, with the instruction to look
for the translation in the Times of
April H. 1t reads: A fine supper will
be served from to o'clock by Indian
maidens Menu: Venison, turkey,
chicken, shad, ETC., etc.
In the program for the conclusion of
the entertainment will be found good
things, too.
The Hopkins Grammar School Glee
club and Mrs. Kinney with her talk of
life among the "Injuns," illustrated by
views, and a dialogue by four misses,
are numbers on the program that no
one can afford to lose the pleasure Of
hearing.

Holmes Last Hope.

Indianapolis, April 13.-Last night q
curious series of letters was turned
over to the United Press by Fl. w. Bull
lock, attorney for the murderer H. H.
Holmes, written by Holmes from his
cell in the Philadelphia county prison.
Bullock was retained by Holmes after
his conviction to collect evidence to
clear him of the murder of young How
ard Pietzel, supposed to have been
committed at cottage rented by
Holmes in Irvington, a suburb of Indi-
annapolis. In his letters he gives copi-
Gus notes of evidence to be secured, and
in one he makes out a regular brief
which he urges Bullock to get Wishard.
the attorney of 1.-The Franklin family,
as he calls his wife's people, to use in
clearing UP the case.
He says in one of his letters that ne
has no hope of having his life. but is
anxious to have this investigation pur-
sued after his execution. Az the way
through he gives evidence f being
pressed for money, and finally declares
that he will have to fall back upon the
offer of a newspaper syndicate OF $4,000
for his confession.

FITzHUGH LEE NAMED.

He Succeeds General Williams at Havana.
Washington, April 13.-The nofnina-
ton of General Fitzhugh Lee Of Vir-
ginia, to be consul general of the Unit
ed States at Havana came as a sur
prise to the senate. Although it has
been suspected for some time that Mr..
Roman o. Williams would soon cease
his official relations with the govern
ment, this was the first intimation that
such resignation had been accepted
General Lees selection was not the
result of any conference with the sem
ators from Virginia. Senator Daniel is
not in the city, he being to-day at the
Monticello celebration. His colleague,
Mr.. Martin, knew nothing of the ap-
pointment until notified by a represent
ative of the United Press.
The selection is one of the presi-
dents own choice, General Lee being
one of his personal friends. There ap-
pears to be no political sponsor for him,
and no one in congress who knew the
bent of the presidential mind on this
question It IS agreed on all sides that
General Lee will go to Havana in thor
ough accord with the presidents views
on matters pertaining to that island,
and, having the instinct of military
officer thoroughly implanted by years
Of service, will be capable of dealing
with the subject of the rebellios. there
ss the president desires it should be
dealt with.

Phillips says that one of the men
stood over him with a revolver, one
kept guard and two blew open the safe.
They were not masked. but he did not
know them. 1t was presumably the
same gang that had been operating
here before. Phillips managed to unite
himself at about $3.50 o'clock and noti-
fed Sheriff Brown. No one in the vi
entity heard the explosion which
wrecked the office, nor did any one
know of the robbery before Phillips got
loose. The robbers team was left in

Maher and slayln Matched.

Pittsburg, April 13.-Peter Maher
and Frank P. Slavin will meet in
twenty-round fight before the Eureka
club, Long Island City, l.. l., on May
20 for purse of $4,000. Tom O'Rourke
came to Pittsburg from New York yes
terday and had conference with
Quinn, manager for Maher.
O'Rourke had Slavin's signature to
the articles of agreement. Quinn will
sign the articles on behalf of Maher
to-day.
London, April 13.-Sporting Life to-
day says that Frank Slavin will accept
the offer made by the Eureka club OF
New York for a fight between him and
Peter Maher in May. Both men are
famous in their way, having sustained
more than one defeat each. Slavin is
regarded very much in the nature of a
has-been. AS a matter of fact, he is
several years Makers senior and has
been whipped twice. Peter Jackson adj
ministered the first defeat, and the sec
ond quietus was received at the hands
of Jim Hall. Slavin is Slow and al
ways lacked science He depended
upon his strong right arm to win his
battles. 1t is reported that he has been
taking better care of himself of late,
and in that event he will give Peter
Maher a battle that he will remember
Maher is a strong hitter and far from
clever, but lacks what Slavin possesses
courage.

Town Counsel ], p. Goodhart has
handed the selectmen an opinion in the
matter of the New Haven and Morris
Cove Railroad company's application
to lay turnout on Townsend avenue
622 feet long. The company made an
application recently to lay the tracks,
and the selectmen questioned their
right to grant the permission without a
public hearing, at which property own
ers could present their objections, if
any. Mr.. Goodhart in his opinion
says that it will be necessary to have
public hearing, and the hearing will
probably be held Thursday.
The railroad made application to
double track Townsend avenue to the
legislature last year, but the right was
denied. This more recent move to
lay the extraordinary long turnout is,
Norris Cove residents say, q movement
on the part of the railroad to obtain
a two-track footing, and big objec-
ton will be raised.

srRoYG GRAMnIAR scn COZ

Opened Yesterday With over Three Hun
bred Pupils-A Handsome Building
Costing About Sl0O,O00-win Accom-
MEDIATE One Thousand Pup lis When
Notwithstanding Work Being
Rapidly Pushed.
The new Strong school building on
Grand avenue was opened yesterday
morning, Principal A. o. Abbott, as
sisted by Principal M, Pitman of the
Woolsey school, was busy during the
day assigning the S75 pupils to the va
rious rooms. The building when COM
pleted will have twenty-five rooms,
each room having seating capacity of
forty pupils.
Only eleven of these rooms were open
ed yesterday, and these were filled for
the most part by the pupils who have
ben in attendance for the past year in
the temporary building on South Front
street erected by w. A. Warner & Bro,
and rented to the district for 5000.
There were also present 100 pupils from
the Woolsey district. Two rooms of
pupils belonging to the Strong district,
who are now attending the Center
street school in Fair Haven East, could
not be accommodated in the new build
ing yesterday. 1t is expected that those
pupils will be transferred by the first
of next week.
OF the eleven rooms opened yesterday
four are on the first floor and seven on
the second floor. 1t is expected that
the Ein6nrpn VIZ ~,
be ready for it's pupils before the fall
term.
The Strong school is a splendid addi-
ton to educational work in Fair Haven.
The building has a fine appearance,
being constructed of buff brick with
white stone trimmings. No expense
has been spared in its construction, the
entire expense of the work amounting
to nearly 100000
The people of Fair Haven are justly
proud OF having not only the largest
and most complete grammar school in
New Haven, but one Of the handsomest
and best in New England. When COM
pleted it will accommodate 1000 pupils.
The interior is finished in North Caro-
lima pine. In addition to the twenty
two school rooms are the necessary
dressing, teachers and recitation
rooms.
The intention of throwing the build
ing open for public inspection had to be
given uD as the rooms were not in
readiness In time AS it was, several
persons had to be employed cleaning
up the rooms Sunday to get them in
readiness.
Work on the building was started a
year ago, and will now be pushed for
ward rapidly to completion.

in Washington.
A Washington correspondent writes
that Radcliffe Hicks and his bride have
returned to that city and taken apart
lments at the Arlington. Mrs. Hicks

is attending a convent school there.
Without attracting attention, Mr..

which is now nearly completed, and
within a few weeks it will be ready for
occupancy. The house is of the regu-
(ation narrow Washington kind with
b gray stone front, and is in the fash
(onable quarter of the town.
The house is built after the favorite
local plan of having a "basemnt" level
with the ground and low story from
which the stairs lead up to the first
foor proper, where the drawing room
lakes up the front of the house. The
eeiling Of the basement is in square
bak panels, and the stairs are oak.

STATISTICS OF YALE SENIORS.

What They Have Studied and How Much
Comparison With the Class of 's6.
According to statistics compiled by
Prof. j, c. Schwab it is found that
when the present academic senior class
of Yale graduates its members will
have collectively spent nearly mil
lion hours in the recitation or lecture
room, or in other words about fifty
seven years, nine months, three weeks
and nine hours
The college education of the average
'96 man consists of % per cent. of
classics, IA per cent of European Ian
guages, u per cent of history, about
10 per cent each of political science and
OF English,9 per cent. each of philosophy,
the sciences and mathematics, together
with smattering of Biblical litera-
ture, and a trace of art, music, military
science and physical literature.
The proportion these ingredients bear
to each other is quite different from
what 1t was in the class that gradu
ated ten years ago. The class of SO,
which celebrates its decennial in June,
received about the same amount of in
structior as the present senior class in
philosophy, English and the sciences, a
third as much in political science, two
thirds as much in the European lam
guages and history, practically no in
struction in Biblical literature. art, mu-
sic. military science ard physical cul
ture, as those departments did not exist
but half as much again in the classics,
