ARTHUR N. HoLLIsTER.

We'll Known Yale Man and Hartford
 High School Teacher Passes Away
 Suddenly.
 Hartford, Jan. 19,-Mr, Arthur N. Hollister of this city died suddenly at his home on Grove street Monday after brief illness. He resided with his father, Mir Nelson Hollister, who has been suffering from serious illness for months, and is now in a precarious condition.
 The deceased graduated from the Hartford high school in 1854 and from Yale college in 1858, being one of the honor men in his class His classmates at Yale included United States Educa- tional Commissioner William T. Har- rs, William A. Magill of Amherst and Dr. Normand Smith of this city, who died in the Adirondacks last summer Deceased was from 1862 to 1869 one of the corps of instructors at the Hart ford high school. Since 1869, owing to impaired health, he had not been ac- lively engaged in any work. He was a gentleman of reserved manner and re- fined taste, an ardent lover of nature and a great fisherman, one of the early visitors at the Adirondacks, and an agreeable companion. His nephew. Henry Hollister Robinson, is now at Yale

WANTED FOR THE PARKS
THE INCOME FROM THE TOTNFARM
 TRUST FUNDS.

Important Application Made by the Park
 Commissioners Last Evening-An Un-
 used Inoome-Needs of the Parks-Soleet-
 men Vote to Grade Long Hill.
 At the board of selectmen's meeting last evening Henry T, Blake of the park commission presented an impor- tant petition requesting the board to take such steps as will be necessary to divert the fund arising out of the sale of the lands once used as the old town farms to the use of the park commis- sioners for the maintenance of the parks. The fund now amounts to $780, 900, and will be increased by the sale of the remainder of the lots on the old town farm.
 Two thirds of the land has been sold Tn building lots, and it is not at all improbable that the remaining one- third will bring another $150,000, owing to the increase in the value of the land consequent upon the erection of many fine dwellings on the land in question.
 The income derived from the invest ment of this money is at present prac- itcally idle. The petitioner claims that its being made applicable for park pur- poses will preclude the commission CTS of parks from asking for an in crease from the current appropriation for park purposes of the town, which otherwise would be necessary if the parks are to be maintained in a cred itable manner to the city. At present only about $10,000 year is obtained for this object. This grant will have no effect upon the amount of money appropriated at present. The petition CT asks that the matter be brought be- fore the general assembly at an early date, and that it be submitted to the electors of the town for ratification.
 The petition was placed on file.
 William E. Thompson, who was ap- pointed to examine the indexes of the | town records, reported that he had per formed that duty and that he had found the indexes correct.
 A. H. McNare and w. J. Sheehan | filed applications for appointments to the position of town physician.
 Yesterday afternoon Messrs. Hugo Ludington and Baldwin, representing | the town of New Haven, held a confer ence with Selectmen Newton, Paine
 and Sperry on the granding of "Lone
 Hill," which is In both towns. The | grading will be done by cutting down i the crest of the hill, after which the
 road will be macadamed. Engineer | Hill was instructed to make an esti- mate of the expense.

Winter Visits to the Land of Perpetual
 Summer
 It will be seen by reference to an ad- vertisement in another column that Messrs. Raymond & Whitcomb have entered new field with their popular tours. Two attractive trips to Florida. and the Island of Jamaica are an- nounced. By journeying to Florida by railway, and sailing thence to Jamaica, the sea voyage is reduced to a mini mum. The attractions of Jamaica are many. It possesses climate uns,lr- passed for salubrity and healthfulness and the scenery is of the most pictur- esque character, while fine government roads serve to make every part of that favored island accessible to the travel CT, who has no occasion to Trough 1t" anywhere. The vegetation is thorough ly tropical and very profuse, covering seemingly endless variety of fruits and flowers strange to the northern visitor Banana plantations thousands of acres in extent are seen, and or anges, mangoes, cocoanuts, and many other fruits grow wild. The dates of leaving New England are February 4 and 25 and the parties are necessarily limited in membership. An illustrated pamphlet giving full details of the fas- cinating trips may be obtained by ad- dressing Messrs. Raymond x Whit comb. 296 Washington street, Boston.

aches or backaches, you don't feel quite up to the mark. Pretty soon you begin to lose flesh, your appetite gives out, Then before you know it, your lungs are affected
 Don't wait for that As soon as YOU feel that you are not quite up to the "correct pitch" put yourself into con. dition again with Dr. Pierce's Colder Medical Discovery. There is nothing like it to build up the constitution and quickly restore energy and good, hard, healthy flesh. It makes new blood rapidly. It clears the unhealthy blood out of the circulation. It makes fresh tissue. There's no blood disease it wonp help. Taken in time it even cures con, sumption.

ALMOST ANOTHER FATALITY.

Orange Mans Marrow Escape at the
 Fatal Malone Crossing.
 Henry Taylor, who resides at Grassy Hill, Orange, had a narrow escape from a tragic death at 10:40 o'clock Monday morning. He was walking on the tracks Of the New Haven branch and was near the spot on the Malone cross ing in Burtville, where Allen w. Bump was killed week ago, when the Berk- shire passenger train came along
 Taylor being very deaf, did not hear its approach. The engineer blew the whistle, but the warning not being needed, the engineer opened the sand box and applied the, brakes, bringing the train to a sudden standstill within six feet of Taylor. who, when he real ized how near he had come to being killed or maimed, tainted on the spot

HNTE RI44T N IT ENTS,
Hyperion.


 The sale of seats for "The Geisha" opens at the box office of the Hyperion this morning. Not more than ten seats will be sold to any one person "The Geisha" will be presented at the Hyperion theater on Friday evening next by MT. Augustin Daly's own com pany from Da1y's treater, New York. It is the latest and most successful musical opera now in this country Written by Mir. Owen Hall with lyrics by MT. Harry Grenbank and set to music by MT. Sidney Jones, the quail ty of the work is undoubted. These gentlemen created a good impression when they produced "A Gaiety Girl" and did still better in the Artists Model" The play forms a bright and agreeable entertainment from begin ming to end. It's we'll written dialogue is humorous and clever, the lyrics are of the best and the music is as spark ling and melodious as one could de- sire.
 Japanese in construction the story shows that the singing and dancing girls at the "Tea House of Ten Thou sand Joys" entertain visitors over there just as their sisters entertain visitors in other countries where stronger beverages are supplied. Un- like many of the extravaganzas in comedies, there is pretty and cohe- rent story running through the play, which is shown in two acts, the first being ''The Tea House of Ten Thou sand Joys" the second a "Chrysanthe- mum Fete in the Palace Gardens" The time is the present and the action of the play takes place in Japan outside the treaty limits. The whole of the scenery, costumes and accessories used at Daly's theater, New York, will be used here. Prices, best seats $1.50.

A WORD OF WARNING.
The Symphony Concerts May be Dis
 continued Next Year.

The Symphony Concerts May be Dis
 continued Next Year.
 The New Haven Symphony orches tra has become the most important musical organization in this city, and it's ministrations are not only pleas urable to the student and lover of mu- sic, but also extremely profitable. But to themselves and to their guarantors the orchestra seems likely to prove rather improbable from a cold finan- cial standpoint. The possibility of forming a good orchestra in this city is problem solved. The maintenace of such an orchestra on a self-support- ing basis is problem whose solution is troubling the minds of a consider able number of people. The fact is this. The people of New Haven are offered an opportunity to hear four good orchestral concerts each year for a merely nominal sum. If they do not care to grasp this opportunity the or chestra must be discontinued. It is not desired to conduct the orchestra as a money making scheme. but 1t must as least support itself. Many of the men who play cannot afford to give the time necessary for such frequent re- hearsing as is demanded. For two years the guarantors have made up the necessary amount. But they refuse to do so another year. Now it would be the greatest misfortune if the organi- zation were to be disbanded after hav- ing proved itself capable of such good work. So let the musical public of this town bestir itself. The prices charged are very reasonable, and lie very easi- ly within the means of every music lover. There is no doubt but that there will be packed house to hear the con- cert Thursday afternoon, because of the great desire to hear Prof. Sanford If only the people attending that con- cert would purchase course tickets in- stead of single tickets the matter would remedy itself.

Polls Wonderland Theater.

Mr and Mrs. Sidney Drew are prov ing an excellent attraction at Poli's Wonderland theater this week. Among the large audiences that they have been drawing are some of the best peo- pie of New Haven, who are anxious to see how these former leading stars in the legitimate are succeeding in the vaudeville field. That they are appre- ciated so well by the vaudeville au- diences is a tribute no less to them selves than to the people who com prise the audiences. The vaudeville olio has many features of bright and lively interest. Among those who con- tribute are c. W. Littlefield, the Vas sar quartet, Mir Mcbride and Miss Goodrich. Prof. Kriegel's dogs, MT and Miss Burrows, Polk and Rollins, and MT and Miss Wills. It is an inter- esting and attractive show throughout. the various features of novelty and comedy combining to make entertain ment of a lively character.
