GAYS PUBLISHING HOUSE

Not Affected by the Failure.
 MT. Charles Gay, being interviewed last evening, said;
 The publishing company of Gay Bros. x Co. of New York and this city, of which Charles Gay is president and treasurer, and Fred Gay secretary, is not affected or in any way financially concerned in the failure of William and John Gay, as owners of the building known as the Hotel Majestic; neither is either of the above officers of the publishing company concerned in the failure to the extent of single cent, directly or indirectly The publishing concern is of twenty-eight years standing, having started in 1868, and has always paid dollar for dollar with out extensions, assignments or failures of any kind and the president, MT. Charles Gay, is the original founder of the house and has remained continu- ously in the business during the entire period of it's existence. The concern is in tirst-class condition, with a capital of S100,00O all paid up.
 MT William and John Gay gave up the publishing business years ago and enga ged in real estate and hotel enter prises. However, from what I know of the affairs of my brothers, William and John, I think that they will pay their creditors dollar for dollar, unless the latter defeat their purpose"

THE FAREWELL ENGAGEMENT
Of Miss Olga Nethersole in New Haver

Of Miss Olga Nethersole in New Haven.
 Tonight at the Hyperion will occur the all important presentation of De mise" by Miss Olga Nethersole. We say all important not unadvisedly in view of Miss Nethersole's resolution to abandon the American stage after this season, for a number of years to come. Last winter, when here, she presented Denise" awakening so much enthu- siasm among a naturally phlegmatic people that it almost goes without say ing, she will receive a big ovation to- night. The story of Denise is sad one, blending only a little comedy with the heavier dramatic work, but through out the play Miss Nethersole is the natural womanly woman.
 She employs none of the artifices com a1on to most actresses in order to at tract attention. Her gowns are simple and unpretentious, and it is not until she speaks and you find your very heart throbbing in sympathy with her that you realize what a beautiful and truly great woman Miss Nethersole is.
 She comes to us tonight with the laurels of last seasons victories, and as next year and for an indefinite period beyond she is to occupy her own thea ter in London, perhaps, indeed, never again visiting America, we cannot turn out in too large numbers to do honor to her farewell engagement in New Ha- ven.

HSunsetS Tours

F, E. Currier, of No. State street, Boston, Mass, is the New England agent for the Sunset personally con- ducted tours to the Pacific coast. Leaving Washington every Saturday in Pullman tourist sleeping cars the trav- eler is transported through the south ern States, and reach Los Angeles in four days and San Francisco in five days without change of cars or attend ants. The route precludes the possibi- lity of delays which are sometimes in evitable in the northern States during the winter months, and every detail of arrangement for the safety and com fort of the patrons of this line is look ed after in the most careful manner by competent and courteous officials. Port land, Tacoma and Seattle are reached in seven days, with but one change of cars, after a delightful ride through the garden state of California.
