WOMAN's SCHOOL ASSOCIATION
Occupies New Quarters in the Hubin.
ger Building.


The Woman's School association has
moved into its new quarters in the
Hubinger building, $40 Chapel street,
rooms 20 and 21, formerly occupied by
Mr. Downes as a studio.
The situation is central and the rooms
are accessible by elevator, their win
dows commanding wide view from
Rock to sound. They are open daily to
members and their friends, from whom
the house committee will be glad to re-
ceive assistance in furnishing. Any
articles which may be specified as do
nations or simply loans will be sent for
upon notice to the committee.
The association feels that its past
record entities it to hope for future sue
cesses in the constantly widening field
of work upon which it has entered. In
looking forward to the tasks of the
opening year, it is thought that the oc-
cupation of these rooms will not only
greatly facilitate action in committee
by affording a convenient place of
meeting for business purposes, but that
as a special gathering center it VIII
tend to consolidate the whole body of
members in support of the common in
terest. The regular public monthly
meetings WILL of course, henceforth be
held here, and more informal weekly
assemblages are also proposed to follow
low as soon as possible.

THE DRUMMER BOY.

That the New England Order of Pro-
lection is a power in the city of New
Haven is evidenced by ~the fact that
the sale of advance seats for The
Drummer Boy" under whose auspices
this play is given, bids fair to eclipse
any previous record. The exchange
and sale of reserved seats opened on
Thursday of this week, and by evening
the number of seats taken, especially
for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
evenings of next week, wac unprece-
denied
There is no wonder that in these days
of wars and rumors of wars" there Is
an eagerness to witness a thrilling war
drama, especially one so clean and
bright, one so full of pathos and pow
er, and one so permeated with patriot
ism as THE Drummer Boy" 1t gives
lessons that should be as potent for
good to-day as the day they were writ
ten, lessons that are calculated to make
us better and truer Americans lessons
that are apt to remind us of the bles-
sings that we have received through
the civil war of a free and united coun-
try.
The Drummer Boy will be given in
the Grand opera house every evening OF
next week with matinees on Wednes-
day and Saturday. The prices of adj

terday Afternoon.

terday Afternoon.
The Yale football squad to the num-
Der of twenty-five left for New York
yesterday afternoon on the o'clock
train. AS the special car left from in
front of Osborn hall the team was
cheered vociferously by the students,
who had gathered there in large num-

The game this afternoon will be play
ed at 3:15 o'clock. AS the team had no

probably play a little in secret this
morning. After the game they will re-
turn at once to New York city, where
after supper at the Murray Hill hotel
they will attend one of the theaters.
The eleven will return tomorrow after
noon.
Coachers Rodgers, Bull, Murphy and
Bass assembled in the New Haven
house Just before the team left and
held a short conference. All are more
than satisfied with the results of the
weeks practice and are hopeful of
Yale's chances in the championship
games.
To-day's game with West Point will
demonstrate in no small degree just
what improvement the team has made
over its form when it met Columbia.
The weeks practice has been unusually
heavy, and, as has already been stated
the coachers seem to desire to get the
team into its best shape as soon as pos
sible. The showing the team will make
in the game will therefore be unusually

Services of Dwight Bissell.

North Stonington. Nov. 2.-The funer-
al services of Dwight w. Bissell, who
| died at Grace hospital, New Haven, on
Monday last, We're conducted by Rev.
William B. Carey, pastor of the Con-
gregational church, of which It. S.
Wheeler and daughter, Mrs. Bissell, are
members. The attendance was very
large and expressive of the deep heart
felt sympathy of the community with
the surviving relatives and friends, and
especially with Mr.. Wheeler, who is
eighty-four years of age, and his only
daughter, the bereaved widow.
Mr.. Bissell was born in India and was
the youngest son of Rev. J.. 3. Bissell,
d. D., and Mary e. Bissell, who for
many years have been honored mission
aries of the American Board in the
Marathi mission. DR.. Bissell died some
years since, but his widow, who is more
than seventy years Of age, is still in
active service in the work and is noted
for her zeal and efficiency as a mission
airy. One son, next older than Dwight,
is also a missionary there; one sister is
a teacher in the school for native girls
and another sister, DR.. Julia Bissell, Is
doing noble medical work in the city Of
Ahmednagar, where for some months
the bubonic plague has been raging.
Another married sister, with'her family,
resides in st. Louis, Mo. Two older
brothers are clergymen and professors
in Pomona college, Claremont Cal, and
still older brother is Presbyterian or
Congregational minister in Lansing,
Mich.
To all these surviving relatives and a
host of friends the death of Dwight
comes with crushing effect, and all who
knew him in this place esteemed him
highly and are sincere mourners in this
sad event.

SUIT AGAINST SAVANNAH LINE.

Sinking of the Chicago.

Brought BY Pennsylvania Road for
Sinking of the Chicago.
New York, Nov. 3.-The Pennsylvania
Railroad company filed papers in libel
suit in the United States district court
to-day to recover $4,000 from the City
of Augusta, of the Savannah line, for
damages to the ferryboat Chicago,
sunk in collision. The libel alleges that
the City of Augusta was at fault In
keeping too near the New York pier
line, running at too high a rate of
speed, failing to back or go to star
board and failing to take the proper
and necessary precautions to avoid
collision. 1t Is alleged that the ferry
boat was well lighted and two lengths
from the Starin line pier when the City
of Augusta came along and that there
would have been plenty of time to cross
the City of Augustus bows if the
proper precautions had been taken by
the steamer.

All signs go to show that we are to

makes us look about for things to make
us warm and comfortable.
After an experience of thirty years in
the manufacture Of house warming de-
vices the manufacturers of the Rich
mond Heaters have succeeded In pro-
ducing an article that will heat
small house with as little coal as an or
binary cylinder stove will consume in
heating one or two rooms.
The Richmond line can be seen at the
store of The Bradley company, plumb
ing and heating contractors, 1853 Orange
street who will be pleased to explain
the many advantages of this heater,
They also have large list of people
who are using these heaters in New

any of these.

should not fail to investigate the I'm
proved Richmond goods.
