CONNECTICUT BIBLE SOCIETY.
Proposes to Make a House to House
Canvass in This City.

Canvass In This City.
The Connecticut Bible society has
been making religious visitation in
this city covering thus far the Ninth
and Tenth wards. and part of the
Eighth which was canvassed some two
years or more ago. The complete re-
suits of the first two wards have al
ready been made public, The work Is
absolutely undenominational, reaching
every home and door in the interest of
the church growth and efficiency. 1t is
a work that is impossible for the
church itself or the pastor to do. The
value and need of it is being more and
more impressed upon the minds of the
clergymen that have thus far profted
by it's results.
Thus far the canvass has been con-
Quoted tentatively and has been paid
for out of the treasury of the society
without financial aid from the city
churches. The work cannot be contin-
ued thus, as the society needs its work.
ers as well as it's funds, in other fields.
that are contributing to the society and
wants it's work. We must stop with
the canvass of the Eigth ward unless
some response financially is soon made.
Effort is to be made Immediately by
an agent of the society to solicit funds
to this end in the city, and with the
Endorsement Of many Of the prominent
pastors of the city. 1.-THE city should
pay for it's own work" as one of our
most successful pastors has said. The
following endorsement is one of others
that may be published, and will speak
for itself and the work:
New Haven, Conn, Jan. q, 1893.
To whom it may concern:
l wish to bear testimony to the work
that is being done in New Haven by
the Connecticut Bible society. Some
threeyears ago when 7 assumed the care
of the Olivet church in DiXwell avenue
was assisted very materially by the
agent of the society. He furnished me
with careful religious census of the
neighborhood, so our people were able
to do intelligent and discriminating
visiting among the unchurched. The
agents Of this society are not only
"enumerators;" they are earnest Chris
tan workers, thoroughly in sympathy
with the great concerns of the church.
They are not only after figures; they
are after souls. I trace much of the
growth of my own congregation to the
efforts of this society. ] believe that
no institution is more deserving of sub
stantial, generous support. There need
be no scanty congregations, if our
Christian people, following the work of
this society, will go out and make
friends with these strangers l take
pleasure in commencing this society to
all interested in the growth Of the
kingdom. Very truly,
ALLYN X. FOSTER,
Pastor of Olivet Baptist Church.

Grand Opera House.
THE LADDER OF LIFE AT THE
GRAND


One of the best melodramas now be-
fore the public is 'The Ladder of Life"
which begins three days engagement
at the Grand Opera house this evening.
This play was recently produced in
New York city and scored a pronounced
success. 1t is a play full of life and
action and real human nature. There
is nothing maudlin in it, the author
does not preach through his characters,
but makes them act, with that repres-
sion of verbiage which is natural to
strong nerved men at crucial times.
There are unusual condolences in THE
Ladder of Life" but they are not I'M
natural The intense thrilling interest
in the first and third acts is not due
to exaggerated situations but to the di
rect way the author has of handling
them. The company which interprets
this stirring play is exactly the same as
appeared in New York, and all the
scenic and mechanical effects are car
ried along Matinees as usual to-mor-
row and Wednesday. Prices ait matt

THE GE1sHA AT THE HYPERION

l.
THE Geisha" will be presented at the
Hyperion on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings and at the special matinee
given on Wednesday for the visitors
who are here for the Junior Promenade.
Such a musical mirth provoking COM
edy as the story of the Tea House" or
1.-THE Gesha" produced by Augustin
Days original company, has never
been witnessed in this country. For the
first time in comic opera the story is
straightforward and plausible. Lieu
tenant Fairfax, r. N, whose ship is
stationed in Japanese waters, finds it
agreeable to be much on shore, and be-
comes enslaved by 0 Mimosa San, chief
Gesha of the Tea House Of Ten Thou
sand Joys" kept by Wun Hi, China
man.
Fairfax is, however, engaged to Miss
Molly Seamore, who is making a yacht
ing trip with Lady Wynne, and they
also turn up in Japanese waters, which
Immediately become troubled waters"
To secure revenge upon her faithless
lover, Molly slyly assumes the disguise
of a Geisha, and dances ait the same
house as Mimosa. Along comes a Jap
anese Marquis, deeply in love with
Mimosa, and in order to secure her
willy nilly, he, being ruler of the
province, revokes the license of the Tea
House, and puts up at auction all the
dancing girls, intending himself to buy
Mimosa. Lady Wynne comes to the
rescue with a higher bid and carries off
the girl. Molly, too, is brought to the
auction block and, as nobody recognizes
her she is bid III for a, song by the
Marquis, who proposes to mary her off
hand. She is rescued, however, by
Mimosa and the willy little French
maid, who, substituting herself for Mol
ly becomes, to her great delight, real
Japanese Marquise. OF course the low
ers quarrels are made up and all ends
happily.
The company includes Virginia Earle,
Nancy Mcintosh, James 7. Powers,
julius Steger and Augustus Cook, with
a chorus of fifty and an augmented Or
chestra. Sale of seats now open. Prices,
