Grand Opera House.

The English drama, When London Sleeps" was given it's first production in this city last night and made a good success. The piece has met with great success in New York and comes to this city from Boston, where it has been presented the past six weeks.
 Briefly told the story refers to the love of two women for one man and the wicked wiles of polished villain. The firts act is a novel one and presents a scene in a circus tent with all the circus performers attending.
 Among the other principal scenes are those of the Helliweu mansion, the ex- terior of the Temple of Somnath. and the interior of the same. The entire scenery is some of the best that has been seen at the Grand this season.
 The piece is exciting and it's situa- tions are quite of the popular order. The attention of the audience is secured and with each successive scene the in- terest grows until the climax is reach ed, when the heroine walks across the stage on the telephone wire
 The company is well balanced and includes among others Miss Florence Ashbrook, Miss Perdita Hundspitha. Miss Vera de Noil. Little Lillie Havre. Mir. Lee Biggs, Mr. Leander Blanden,

Polls Wonderland Theater.

Miss Pauline Hall made her first To- cal appearance in vaudeville at Poli's Wonderland theater yesterday before immense audiences. The audiences soon warmed up under the magnetic force of her singing, and the most lib- eral enthusiasm was shown. Miss Hall is beautiful and stately as of old, her voice is as rich and mellow, and her stage presence quite as charming as when she was the idol of comic opera patrons. Her voice is, if anything, a trifle richer and smoother, though this may come from the fact that the selec- tions she is presenting in vaudeville are simple and less of a strain then her sus- tained roles in comic opera Her audi ences were won by the velvety sweet ness of her singing, and her beauty won the liveliest admiration. The ladies were enthusiastic over the pretty gowns she wore. Miss Hall sings in the afternoon at 3:30 and in the evening at 9. The supporting artists came in for much appreciation for the attractive specialties they presented. Among them are the original Star Trio, Frank D. Bryan, MT, Stanley and Miss Jack son, Williams and Adams, Stanley Whiting, Harry T. Wait, and MT Price and Miss Steele. Prices 10 and 20 cents; ladies in the afternoon, all parts of the house 10 centS

THE MADURA MISSION.

Boston, April 12.-The Madura mis- sion of the American Board accom- panies it's annual report to the Ameri can Bible society, New York, with an urgent appeal for funds. The Bible society cannot do all that is desired, but is reluctant to turn away from such opportunities to circulate the Scrip lures. It will make new grant-in-a aid this year, trusting that it's appeal to it's constituents for donations will not be made in vain. Rev. H. c. Hazen tai:
 we are not able to sell as many Scriptures as We would like, for two reasons. First, the people are so very ignorant. Whole villages are found where not one person can read This Is not rare occurrence, but daily experience. In such places a sale is cut of the question. Another hindrance is the great poverty of the people. Null titudes get for days wages only three annas (about seven and half cents), and some even less than that. Often they are without work. Out of that they have to feed, clothe, and house their families, and they are so impro- vident that they never have any ready cash laid by. Hence they feel quite unequal to paying twelve annas for the cheapest Bible We sell it for six an- mas, and even then many who ought do not buy By the generous grant of the American Bible society We are able to put the precious book into the hands of many who otherwise would be with out it. For your help, we, our agents and the people, are exceedingly grate- ful.
 You will see that We have sold 400 Bibles, 2S7 Testaments, and 3,054 Por- tions, one-fourth of which, I suppose, were bought by Hindus and Moham- medans. This seems to me wonderful Tn view of all their bitterness and pre- judice it is a marvel that they will even look at the Bible, much less buy it, and yet they do, almost daily. If they real ized how this wonderful book is turn ing the faith of their fathers into a laughing stock, is undermining their old systems, and destroying their idols, they would hate it, but instead of this there is very little opposition, and many are buying and reading and be- ing influenced by it. We count it a great victory whenever any portion of the word of God gets into the hands of the people, for it is silent and powerful preacher, which never tires and never ceases it's influence

A SAD STORY.
An Ambitious Lady Artist Died in Want-Her Intellectual Struggle for ESaooa

An Ambitious Lady Artist Died in
 Want-Her Intellectual Struggle for
 Fame.
 New York, April 12.-This notice on the returns of the West Twentieth po- lice station this morning told a sad lit tie story now ended:
 ''At 7:50 o'clock last night the body of Ella Cooper, forty years, an artist, who died in the morning at 357 West Twen- ty-fifth street, was taken to the morgue, having no friends to bury her"
 Miss Ella Cooper was the daughter of once we'll known portrait painter with studio on Broadway, a successful, prosperous man. When the girl was growing into young womanhood he took her to Europe to study. She was to be an artist, and she caught the spirit, the ambition of her fathers life They travelled in Italy and came back, he to die, she to make a name for herself, as had her father. She was young, en- thusiastic, good looking. She had ad- mirers, but declared that she would never marry till she had reached her end a studio of her own and a name.
 The years passed, but brought her no nearer to her goal. With them passed, all unknown to herself, her inspiration, her enthusiasm. The set purpose only remained. It brought her no wealth, hardly even a living. As she grew poor CT and privation and cold stiffened her fingers, it was even more difficult for her to sell her paintings Her friends fell away. A few remained who believ- ed to the last in her genius. They were mire, not help.
 A few months ago she moved into the house where she died. She was then in the last stage of consumption. The people from whom she rented her room saw it and urged her to keep a good fire in her room, so that her cough might not be so bad. But the fire grew small CT and lower as the winter heightened into spring. At the grocery down on the corner, where she bought coal by the pail, paying SIP a ton for it, her credit fell off. She owed for two pails when she died.
 One friend, a fine looking bearded man, kept coming. Who he was no one knew. They saw him last four or five days ago. Miss Cooper had then made a last desperate effort to get work at the stores. They all alike failed. Whether he knew it or not, no one can tell. His name is known to none of the neighbors.
 Yesterday Miss Coopers landlord heard her cough rack the poor body till he went to see if he could help. What he saw caused him to send over to Dr. Morton, his family doctor. But it was too late. Before midnight the artist died. After dark they took her body to the morgue.

The president calls attention to the fact that during the last ten years fifteen new university buildings have been erected, five altered or enlarged, and one pur- chased while gifts of all kinds during the same time amount to more than $4,0O00O0, In closing his report, the president lays stress upon the fact that the widening and deepening of the uni- versity life is constantly attended with larger needs, that the close of appeals for such needs will be a sign of decad- ence, and that the evolution of Yale must constantly be hereafter in the university direction.
