Poli,s Wonderland rheater.

The Russell brothers, famous here as
 elsewhere in their great speciality of "The Irish Servant Girls" received a most enthusiastic welcome yesterday
 at Polls Wonderland theater. Very large audiences were in attendance at
 both the afternon and evening per formances, and the enthusiasm was pronounced. ''The Irish Servant Girls D
 notwithstanding it's name, is less pie ture of that familiar type of character than medium for the kussells to show their capacity as variety entertainers. Both sing and dance, exchange gags and repartee, and Jimmy gives some very excellent limitations of noted dra- matic stars that every theater-goer has seen. Altogether ''The Irish Servant Girls" proved very enjoyable to yester- days audiences, and it will most prob ably be a strong attraction during the week. An excellent vaudeville conbin- ation appears in support of the Rus sell brothers. Among those comprising it are Miss Gertrude Mansfield, MT. Mor- ton and Miss Revelle, Moa and Good

 opera company will play an engage ment of four nights With Saturday mat inee. This magnificent aggregation

 and Brooklyn, where they open a long
 enga cement at the Montauk theater.
 The list of principals includes many well known names familiar to lovers of opera, among them being Clara Lane,
 Fabinah Deard, Matte Bell Ladd Ad- die Norwood, J. K. Murray, W. H. Clark Martin Pache, Payne Clarke, Winfred Golf and John Read. They
 bring with them their own orchestra and a large and well trained chorus. The operas given are all handsomely costumed, and every attention is paid to detail to make the engagement suc- cess.

 PRISCILLA"
 The advance sale of seats for "Pris- cilla" opened at the box office yester- day morning, and there was a brisk demand for seats. This time there has been no personal canvass of tickets on the part of the Seamen's Friend society, as it was fully believed that the popu- larity of Priscilla is too well estab- lished here to require it, and so all corners will be enabled to reserve ac- cording to their fancy. Everybody who
 went in February came away with the impression that the performance was the best here in years, and nearly all regretted that there should have been but one night; in fact, it was current comment that Priscilla" could have been played week 10 full houses. Be this as it may, there are hundreds of opera -goers who never got a chance to
 see the first performance at all, owing to their not having secured seats early, and there are several hundred others who didn't get the seats they wanted, for the same reason. These will profit by their experience on this occasion, and the chances are that there will be another rush for first choice. The prices are to be the same as before. and they are really less than the extraordinary
 merits of the production warrant.
 Everybody knows now about "Pris- cilla;" indeed. the very newsboys whis- tie it on the street, and it is exceed ingly well advertised. Everybody ap-
 parently wants to hear it May l, and many people from outside towns are

FUNERAL OF WASHINGTON YALE.

The remains of Washington Yale, who died a few days ago in Minneapo- lis, Minn., arrived in New Haven at o'clock last evening and were taken at once to Evergreen cemetery, where funeral services were held, Rev. MT. Lines of St. Paul's church officiating.
 MT. Yale was for many years prom inent and successful dry goods mer- chant in New Haven. He later remov- ed to New York, where he resumed the same line of business, continuing to be most successful in it. He accumu- lated a considerable fortune in the dry goods business and about thirty years ago he removed to Minneapolis and bought largely of property in that city. He afterwards sold the property at a large profit and thereby considerably augmenting his fortune. The deceased, as some of our oldest citizens recall, re- sided for years on Church street in the old dwelling which stood where the new POli building now stands, and which was afterward the parochial residence of St, Mary's church and occupied by the late Rev Father O'Brien. Later the house was the headquarters of the Associated Charities. At the time MT Yale occupied it there was a fine gar den in the rear of the house, with a rear entrance to the garden from George street.

All Muslims-a term given to the fol-
lowers of the prophet, and used in the
same way as the word Christian
spective of sect, are aware that the safe
keeping of the green banner of Islam,
consecrated by the prophet himself for
the people of the prophet in all lands
and throughout all time, has passed
from caliph to caliph. The name caliph
denotes title of honor to be borne by
the successors of the Sheik III Islam,
that is, the head of Muslims. The title
caliph is borne by him whom the Mo-
hammedan world, irrespective of race
recognizes as king of kings; his sub
jects may reside in British India, on
French soil in Africa, or be spread over
the vaStneSs of Asia-while the green
banner lies unfurled in the Yildiz Kiosk,
the sultan's church or mosque, the
worlds peace is secured. The powers of
Europe know it, and therein dwells the
