 Guernsey Elected President.
 A well attended meeting of the board of directors of the New Haven Retail Merchants association was held in their rooms in the Insurance building yesterday afternoon. After routine bus mess was disposed of various matters of general interest to merchants were taken up, among them the suit club nuisance free gift enterprises and oth- CT matters of equal interest to mer- chants, and in the line of the working together with the other associations lately formed in the state.
 Henry H. Guernsey was elected presi- dent to fill the unexpired term of the deceased president, Stephen A. Howe, and Elbridge Howe was elected to the board of directors to fill the unexpired term of MT. Guernsey. The following resolutions were also adopted-those re- lating to anticipayoy legislation were directed to besent to the membeys of the general assembly lately elected from this district.
 Your executive committe to whom was referred the matter of giving trad ing stamps, coupons and other tokens with sales of merchandise, and the matter of securing just and sufficient protection to the merchant against bad debtors. begs leave to report that they have carefully considered these mat l ters, and believe that some action would be of distinct benefit to mercantile in terests. They therefore recommend the passage Of the following resolutions
 Resolved, That the giving of tra ting stamps, coupons and other tokens with sales of merchandise to be redeemed for i in money or in other articles of mer- chandise is a distinct disadvantage to the merchant, is unproftable. and q pernicious practice, and that some ac- tion should be taken by the next gen. eral assembly to put a stop to all suct practices.
 Resolved, That the present laws dc not afford sufficient protection against the dishonest and interruptions debtor and that just and equitable law

PROF. w1NcHEsrER's LECTURE,
Spoke on Robert Browning Last Night

Spoke on Robert Browning Last Night.
 Professor C. T. Winchester of Wes- leyan last evening delivered at Warner hall the last In his series of lectures before the New Haven University Ex- tension Center. The subject of last nights lecture was Robert Browning, Special Themes" The hall was filled with a large audience, one of the largest which has been present at lectures in his course. Professor Winchester read passages from Browning's poems, among them "The Ring and the Brook" This poem, he said though long one and less read than some others on that account was a wonderful poem of love, as portrayed in the character of Pom pilia, and her priest lover. He said that from the poem tremendous moral lesson might be drawn. Professor Win chester characterized Browning as the poet of robust, virile, living love- He said that Browning wanted to be recog- nized as poet who advanced man kind, as one who believed that this world was only place of preparation for life in the next.
 A. Maxcy Hitler president of the cen- ter, announced that its membership was now 400. On December IA Professor Ralph S. Hubbard of Wesleyan will give reading before the center.

should be formed and passed so that no longer would a premium be put upon dishonesty, and the honest debtor would not be compelled to suffer from the acts of those who prey upon the selling trades. and that such a blu would be conducive to the better general feeling in mercantile circles, and the uplifting of the morals and practices throughout the state.
 Resolved, That this association here by requests the newly elected members from this city to the next general as sembly to use their inf1unce and their votes in the furtherance of any just and equitable bill that may be presented on the two subjects above mentioned, and further resolve that this association tenders to other similar organizations throughout the state it's assistance and cooperation to secure the passage of any just and equitable bill that may be presented, having in view the correction of these two abuses.
 Resolved, That, in the opinion of this association, the advertising by mer- chants in fair programs of fraternal so- ciettes, churches and other orgnniaa- eious, anu llle SlNluS or HlerCnanulSe as prizes and for sale in such affairs. is an unprofitable and an unreasonable de- mand upon the mercantile public, and that discontinuance would work to the benefit of all, and would quickly put stop to the practice now so generally in vogue; that this association hereby requests all members to discontinue this form of advertising, and the dona- ton of money and articles for such pur- | poses

NEXT MONTH'S PERFUMES.

Months ago we began thinking about holiday perfumes; come and see what the thinking has amount ed to. It has resulted in spec ial importations, in securing new odors that will not be seen else where in New Haven for months to come, in getting price conces- slons that mean large saving for you. You will sin against your own purse and satisfaction if you overlook our line. This is a hint for next months buying, but the goods are here and fre-handed peo- pie needn't wait.

The few who bravcd the combination
formed by the street car strike, the In
clement weather and the election, and
gathered at the opera house last night,
we're well repaid. "The Girl ] Left Be-
hind Me-" a creation Of Belasco s. Fyles,
the well known playwrights, is one of the
strongest plays ever presented on Ameri-
can stage and although the company which
presented 1t last night was handicapped
by the smallness of the audience to which
it played, the members OF 1t went to work
with vim and succeeded in bringing TO
successful close a performance which
might otherwise have proven failure, AS
circumstances were certainly against II,
The play is full with human interest from
the rise Of the curtain to the fall thereof
and charming vein of romance Is fuf-
nished by the three love stories which run
through it. The plot is an ingenious one
the dialogue is bright and snappy, the sit
nations and the clin1axes are strong ana
original features are introduced in the
Indiaf characters and in the depletion OF
military life on the Frontier Soldieriy
bravery and craven cowardice, love and
hate and other conflicting emttons are
blended in a thoroughly artistic manner
and show that the dramatists we're well
informed as to the phases Of human nature
concerning which they wrote. Altogether
the niece is a charming thing and one
that must be seen to be appreciated.
The characters OF the play were 10 capa-
bic hands. the company being an evenly
balanced one. On account Of the fact that
the play was presented under so many dis
advantages 1t would not be doing full
justice 10 the players to particuarlze.
THE Girl I Left Behind Me- VIII be
presented at matinee performance this
afternoon and again tonight.
The next attraction will be Mr.. and Mrs.
Nat Goodwin, who will he seen In An
American Citizen next Tuesday night.
