HAD NEW HAVEN RELATTVES.
Young Scott Currier Wtll be Buried il
 CemterYtlIe TO-mOrroX,


 Scott H. Currier, the young man &C., cidentally shot and killed in the Adiron- dacks while on hunting expedition, as announced in our telegraphic columns yesterday and whose father is Dr. An drew F. Currier, a noted New York specialist, residing at Chester Hill, Mt. Vernon, was a grandson of the late Deacon Willis Goodyear of Hamden, this state, and a nephew of Treasurer Isaac J. Wild of the New Haven Gas Co.,, and spent part of his vacation at MT. Wild's cattage at Indian Neck. It is some relief to the bereaved ones to know that the father of young Scott did not fire at the time of the harrow ing event.
 The funeral of the deceased young man will take place at the family resi- dence in Mt. Vernon to-day and the burial will be in Centerville tomorrow, where many of the Goodyear family of this city and vicinity are buried. The New York Herald's account of the sad affair says: "Dr. Currier and his son, Scott, left home in this city last Mon- day morning. The doctor was suffering
 
 ing preparations for some weeks for his annual outing in the Adirondacks. His fourteen-year-o son had been very anxious to accompany his fathers par ty and after considerable coaxing re- ceived permission to do so. Mr. E. B. Sudbury, merchant of No. 343 Broad way, New York, who lives at No. 154 Prospect avenue, this city, was the other member of the party from Mount Vernon. In New York they were joined by other friends of Dr. Currier and Mir. Sudbury.
 The party arrived at Northampton, Fulton county, on Tuesday morning, and then started on jaunt to the Cedars a camp thirty miles away in the heart of the North Woods. On Fri day afternoon they set out for a day. S deer hunting. They were all equipped with rifles of large calibre.
 Scott Currier was well in advance of the party When deer tracks were dis covered Dr. Currier, MT. Sudbury and the other members of the party, excit- ed at the prospect of sighting game,

 UP THIS WEEK.

Two Sharp Halves Played i'm the After
 noon-Line Up and Changes in the
 University Team-Kicking During
 Second HaIf-Butterworth and Sam
 ford Coached.
 The morning practice of the Yale mainder of the season. The afternoon practice will begin at four as usual un- til Thursday, when the car will leave the gymnasium at o'clock. This is the usual time during the season. The practice in the afternoon yesterday be- gan with the usual open work. The line men first tackled the dummy and then fell upon the ball and practiced quick starts. The backs divided into two squads and caught punts under the di- rection of Butterworth. The kicking and catching of punts was very good. The men used good djudgmentin getting un- der the ball and interfered for the oth- CT in good manner. 2 halves of about twenty minutes each were played the university team scoring once in the first half. The lineup of the first team during the first half was as follows: Walton, center; Young and Audrens, guards; Thompson and Crawford tackles; Coy and Schweppe ends; Sulli- van, quarter; Dudley and Merwin, halves; Mcbride, full. The college team at first worked the ball close down to the university's 25-yard line and then lost it. The university by quick dashes around either end and through the tackles ran the ball down the field for a touch down in quick time. With Cut ten at center on the college the first team was unable to make the necessary distance through the middle of the line. As soon as the touch down was made time was called for the first half
 In the second half Richards took Young's place at guard, Sharpe went in the place of schweppe at end, and Winter relieved Sullivan at quarter. Mcbride and Daniels exchanged punts during the greater part of the second half with no apparent advantage to either. Neither team succeeded in SCOT ing. The work of Coy in getting down on punts was especially fine. In this re- spect he is away ahead of his competi- tors. Sharpe played a good game, his tackling being very good. But he was too slow in getting down the field on punts. Winters defensive work was the best seen upon the field this year. He was in almost every play during the af- ternoon and his tackling was low and fierce. The university halves followed their interference we'll, in fact almost too closely, and found the halves in the line in good style.
 Dunston, DeSaulles and Brown were not out for practice and it was found difficult to fill their places with the ma terial now out. Allen was out to watch the practice but does not expect to play Sanford, Bull and Butterworth coached the men. Sanford paying special at tention to the center men. His hearty advice and his active methods of show ing the men just what he meant anus ed the spectators. Nevertheless the men understood his coaching and some put his methods to use with good advan- tage. Sanford's ability to coach the line men is not equalled by any of the Yale coachers and he is badly needed this year on that account Butterworth left for New York last night but will be back for the game Saturday.

The halves show ed up well in yesterdays practice Af- ter the game the first team lined up and went through signal practice again.

headed by Thomas E. Shea, who scored an undeniable hit as Captain Conway. Miss Flora Fairchild was also excel lent as Elinor. Others deserving spec ial mention are Mrs. Thomas Shea and Miss Rose Adele. There was very large audience present last night and judging from the very frequent ap- plause it was highly enjoyed. Popular prices prevail during the engagement and as this is the only play dealing with the war between the United States and Spain, no doubt there will be crowded houses at the remaining performances. Prices 15, 25, S5 and 50 cents. There will a performance this and tomorrow evenings.
 Thursday and Friday evening at the Hyperion Jeff De Angelis will appear in the new and original opera 'The Jolly Musketeer." It is said that the De Angelis company has not only the best voices of any of the big comic opera companies this season, but that, as well, he has secured the prettiest girls and the best looking young fel- ioWo III LHlS DfduCl Ol SldS6 SGENlCe. Albert Krausse (Victor Herbert's old | concert-meister) is the musical direc- tor of the Jolly Musketeer." The cos tunes are notable. These were made by Dazian of New York, the best costum- CT in the country; from drawings by Siedl. They are extraordinarily rich and beautiful, costing alone many thous- ands of dollars. The time of the opera is 1884, reign of Louis XIV, a period ad- hitting great opportunities to an ar tistic costumer. The "Musketeer'' cos- tunes of the chorus men alone are a feast in themselves.
 "The Jolly Musketeer'' is one of the best of light opera, both musically and dramatically. Certainly Stanilaus Strange, who has written the book and Julian Edwards, who has composed the music, are both capable of turning out splendid work. In natural gifts and long experience these two men are well equipped for successful opera making. As for the production we may certainly count on Benjamin Stevens, the active | manager of the De Angelis Opera com pany, to give us good thing. Wang" "El Capitan," "Panjandium,' and all the other big De Wolf Hopper operas, were produced under his direction and last year Sousa's opera "The Bride Elect which became another monu- ment to his ability as an original and lavish producer. The chorus of the De Angelis Opera company, it is promised, be fine. The advance sale of seats opens this morning. Prices 75, $1.00 and $1.50.

 Miss Urquhart, will you permit me to introduce my friend, MT. Potter, of New York"
 ..So delighted, I assure you, MT. Potter" she murmured in reply.
 Jimmie" Potter was introduced. The dark eyes of Cora Urquhart beamed upon him through velvety lashes, and Jimmie, the thoroughbred, was caught, hooked at last. He was caught fast and solid; there was no escape, and yet Jimmie Potter did not try He made no attempt to wrig- gle; he was happy to remain on the hook. "She is a sumner he said later on to the man who introduced them.
 But he said nothing about his newly formed resolution--his resolution to woo and win this belle of New Orleans, "Jim- mIe' Potter lost no time after making his mind up. and in few short weeks New York's 400 was electrified by the news that he was to marry The doting mammas sniffed disdalnfully and called Cora Urqu- hart many hard names, and when at home soundly berated their own daughters for letting such a prize escape.

FEW DECISITE BATTLES,
But the List Has Been Growing of Re
 cent Years.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 A prolific subject for dispute among his- torians is a list of fifteen great battles of the world prepared in 1851. Prof. Creasey, of Cambridge, published book entitled, "The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World, From Marathon to Waterloo," at that time, The. author was afterward ilsnighted, and died Sir Edward Greasy, Hallam had previously mentioned Mar athon, Arbela, the Metaurus, Chalons, and Leipsic as the most decisive battles of the world. Inspired by HalIam's idea, Greasy added ten battles to the list.
 Hallam observed that he selected those battles e'of which contrary event wou have essentially varied the drama of the world in it's subsequent scenes" Greasy predicted that no two historians would agree in their lists of decisive battles. As may be imagined, the author was correct in this view A controversy ragged about his list, and his name was even transform ed into Crazy" by envious ones.
 In his preface Greasy said that differ ent minds will naturally vary in the im- pressions which particular events mako on them, and in the degree of interest with which they watch the career and reflect on the importance of different historical | perSonageS. The interests of many states are often involved in the collisions be- tween a few; and the effect of these con | ditions is not limited to a single age, but | may give an impulse which will sway the | fortunes of successive generations of man. kind.'
 Eighty-four years have passed since the l battle of Waterloo, with which Greasy | closed his list. There have been decisive | fattes since then. Here Is his ist of if ! teen decisive bates: Marathon. B. c. 490 | defeat of the Athenians at Syracuse, B. C. | 419: Arbela, B. c. 921 the Metaurus B. c | 207 victory of Arminius over Varus. A.

 murmur ran through the audience. It was not a murmur of applause, and in the back se,.ts, white-faced man rose and un- steadily walked out. It was "Jimmie," the thoroughbred husband of the woman who had just brazenly enacted the part of Cleopatra. It was the last time he ever saw her. Her name was never again men, toned in his hearing, and he had no com meht to make about her, either good or bad.
 Like her London venture this was also a failure-a decided one Nevertheless she persisted in her dramatic career, and with Kryle Bellew he of the raven locks and lampblack eyes, toured the world, with more or less success.
 CHAPTER V.
 And what about Jimmie" Potter Af- ter his wife's appearance in New York he retired to his home in Tuxedo with his baby daughter. The two were inseparable. and he entered into her baby's joys and pleasures, as if 1t was the only one thing in life he had to live for The mothers name was never mentioned to the little one, until one day she ferreted out the story for herself. She heard 1t all, but like her father, "Jimmie," the thorough bred, she simply listened and said no word.
 There had been a room set apart in the Tuxedo mansion and the little one knew 1t as her mammals room." After hearing the sad story she never entered the room again. There were no more offerings of flowers no more wistful wondering; the chapter was closed Last year the baby, now Miss Anne Urquhart Potter, aged eighteen. made her formal appearance in Washington society. She was a success. 1.,tN hnr of 1i than her mothers.
 Now, after all these years. James Brown Potter wants a divorce. For whose sake is it. his daughters or his own? No one knows. Meanwhile Mrs. Potter is living in a fine old house at St. Johns Wood London, which she recently purchased She still clings to the name of Potter. and according to her statements will fight the suit to the end. The finest equppages in London stop at her door, including those of the Countess of Warwick and the Duchess of Marlborough.
 A few days ago she claims that detec- tive was endeavoring to bribe her ser wants to furnish evidence for Potters ac tion. The queer part of it Is that the de- tectiYe gave the servants small sums. ranging from six to ten shillings. saying that Mir Potter couldn't afford much and wanted to secure divorce with as little expense as possible
 Mrs. Potter's solicitors secured atfida- wits of the detectives work One affidavit reads: CT. John Morris, certify that have been approached by certain man giving his name as J. c. Littlechld, purporting to come from and be the agent for James Brown Potter, of New York city, and offer ing me a sum of money a bribe to make detrimental to the morality of Mrs. Brown Potter Any such statements made by me would be false" MT Potter says nothing. neither denying nor affirming anything. Let the tongues of the world wag, he says.
