Features of the Coming Entertainment
 Regarding the Life of Luther.
 Tn the entertainment on "The Life of Luther to be given by Mrs. H. E. Mon roe of Philadelphia and 200 New Haven artists in music and oratory, feature worthy of special mention is some of the views to be shown. The house in which Luther was born, where he was ordained a priest, theWartburg castle, the statuary and the magnificence of St. Peters and the Vatican, Philip Me lanchton's home the old Castle church where Luther nailed the ninety five theses, Luther's debating with Dr. Eek, also Luther before Cajetan, the diet at Augsburg and many other interesting historical views.
 Mir. George Fox, who was to have taken the role of Elector Frederick III of Saxony, owing to unavoidable ab- sence from the city, has been obliged to resign. This part will be taken by Prof Browning of Yale. Also there will be a number of the Yale glee club in the choir.
 Press notices testify to it's being greeted with packed houses wherever given. Last fall it was given two even ings In the Academy of Music, Phila- delphia, to crowded houses, The acad- emy seats 5000. Rev. Russell H. Corn well took the part of Luther There were 300 in the cast. It was given with similar success at Brooklyn, Baltimore and many other large cities. The Ra- leigh, N.

THE WILD WEST SHOW.

Buffalo Bilrs Wild West Show,' which will appear in New Haven short ly, opened at the Madison Square Gar den, New York, for the first time Mon day evening, and 1t was evident that the entertainment has lost none of the merit which characterized it when last seen there, and none of it's popularity. When the horsemen of many Indian tribes and of many European and Asi- attic peoples had gradually assembled in the amphithea ter-each group filing in after a special announcement and with great dash and spirit-then came Colonel Cody, certainly a manly and gallant figure to the eye, mounted on a beautiful and vivacious animal, which obeyed, however, his slightest sugges- ton of control. Upon the celebrated colonel, as he made his horse curvet and prance and walk steadily back ward, played the glory of a dazzling lime-light, and up under the caves arose from the gallery element such a wild burst of applause as threatened to raise the roof But the gallery pa- irons were not alone in their approval; tempered by age and position, approba- tion was clapped and cried all the way down, even to the boxes
 After this stirring prelude there were many interesting and instructive eXhi- bitions of manners and customs chiefly military or semi military all of which evoked continuous manifestations of pleasure from large number of spec cles among whom were the command CT of the army, General Miles; the SC. retary of the interior, Cornelius N Bliss, and several governors of states.

Probate oourt-Judge oleaveland.


 Arguments were made yesterday be- fore Judge Cleaveland in the probate court upon the motion to have the will of Harry w. Clayton thrown out of court.
 Ex-Judge York, representing Mrs, Gorham of Hamden, and Attorney J. T.. Moran, who is counsel for three first cousins of the testator made a motion last week that the will be disallowed upon the ground that it was procured by the undue influence of Miss Daisey Wood of 30 Sylvan avenue, where the late MT Clayton resided, and Attorney Henry D. White of New York was nam ed as executor. Miss Wood receives the bulk of the S25,000 estate.
 Judge York argued this motion at length yesterday morning. His claim Is that MT. Clayton was practically an imbecile, had no mind of his own and was incapable of transacting any of the ordinary affairs of life He con- tended that Clayton was under the in- fiuence of Miss Wood, and that no one could see him except through Mrs. Wood.
 Ex-Judge Stoddard, who appears in support of the will, argued that there was no affiiction of the mind in Harry Clayton and that he was perfectly com petent to transact business; that he fully understood the provisions of the will, and that he executed 1t in a per- fectly legal way.
