THE SPIRIT OF THE GIFT.

IT'S not the weight Of jewel or plate,
Or the fondle OF silk and fur;
IT'S the spirit in which the gift Is rich
AS the gifts Of the Wise Ones were;
And we are not told whose gift was gold
Or whose was the gift Of myrrh

ENTERTAINM ENTS,
Wypcrion Theater.

Daniel Frohman will present one of his latest and most commanding New York Lyceum successes at the Hyper ion tonight. The play, "A Colonial Girl" had long run in New York during the fall of 1898, and was also produced last season in several of the principal cities with great success, both artisticaly and pecuniarily. This is the first production in this city of the in teresting play. It is the tale of old New York in the Revolutionary times, and blends love and romance with quite decided spice of danger, both to the life of the hero and to the reputation of the heroine, both, however being at last triumphant. Howard Gould, whose superb rendering of the leading role in "The Prisoner of Zenda," when that play was last seen here, is still re- membered, and will appear as Godfrey Remsen, the patriot spy. MT. Gould is fully recognized as one of the best his toric actors on the romantic stage He make a great success in "The Prisoner of Zenda," but from all reports is

THE Y. M. c. A. MASS MEETING.
Addressed Yesterday Afternoon by Ma
 for George A. Hilton.

l
 Major George A. Hilton of New York
 was greeted by an audience of men
 which filled the lower part of the Grand | Opera house yesterday afternoon, and
 listened attentively to an address on the
 much mooted subject, Social Purity"
 under the auspices of the Y. M. c. A. Major Hilton before coming to his sub
 feet proper dwelt in detail upon the va
 rious forms of life, beginning at the low form of vegetable life, Illustrating how | a blade of. grass, if piucked from the earth and thus deprived of its source of life. would die then in animal life God had provided different foods for the va rious animals, and if an animal takes that which is not intended for it, 1t would die. Coming to a higher form of life. He spoke of soul poison and quot ed the Scripture, which says: The soul that sinneth it shall surely die. !"
 Many of the pernicious influences for poisoning the mind were touched upon by the speaker and the evil of dime novels and yellow literature received a special scoring. He said that by the sole poison of these novels, boys of this age had ambitions to be cowboys, to go out west and kill Indians in the streets of Omaha" Profanity received special attention from Major Hilton also; and he said that we were living in an age of education and we were creatures of education, and were educated by our environments and associations, so, if they were blasphemous, we would grow to be profane This especially applied to the boys of our country, who were becoming alarmingly blasphemous. The major also touched the liquor traffic and in the midst of an eloquent peroration condemning it, was interrupted by ap plause. What does that mean?" he asked, in seeming surprise. Tt means. that's what we want" came voice from the audience. Then why don't you have it?" returned the major. If we did not want the liquor traffic we would not have it. We keep 1t because it pays"
 Major Hilton then took up the sub ject of personal purity and held the audience spellbound by the manner in which he treated it. and by the power of his eloquence, showing great famil- iarty with his subject, holding that an equal standard of morals should obtain in the case of man as well as woman His appeal to the young men present to live pure lives was particularly inn pressive An after meeting was held at which some twelve or more men pledged themselves to live new lives.
 Next Sundays meeting is open to the public, at which time special Easter service will be held, including finely colored views appropriate to the occa- sion, in the stereopticon.

MRS. IsOBEL sTRoNG's LECTURE
On "Personal "Reminiscences of Robert
 Louis Stevenson"

On "Personal "Reminiscences of Robert
 Louis Stevenson.
 The lecture on Personal Reminis- cences of Robert Louis Stevenson" giv- en at Warner hall Saturday evening by Mrs. Isobel Strong was listened to with interest by those attending. Mrs Strong is a stepdaughter of Stevenson and was his amanuensis and secretary at Vailima. During her stay in New Haven she is the guest of MT. and Mrs Chauncey Wells at their home on Law renee street
 Tn beginning her lecture Mrs. Strong told about MT. Stevenson's home in the mountains of the island of Samoa. She stated that all the building mater ials were brought from Oregon. MT. Stevenson found returning health in that mild climate. Mrs. Strong spoke of her mother, who did so much to- wards beautifying the Stevenson home.
 She said that her own work was the most interesting that ever fell to the lot of woman-writing from dictation by MT. Stevenson. The mail to Samoa was received and dispatched once a month. Many of the letters were from autograph hunters, books from young authors, persons asking charity and from those who were seeking better health. To all these letters he wrote answers. She said that some of his stories were written in the midst of ,+1 Ia pir,c rl,o the noise of the tempest on the iron roof almost drowned his voice. Some of the stories were written in war time when English men-of-war were bonn barding native villages MT. Stevenson, she said, took very few notes. Most of his dictation was done as he walked up and down the room He worked on the day of his death until 12 o'clock, and declared that was his very best work.
 No birthday was ever allowed to go by unnoticed at the Stevenson home. MT. Stevenson threw himself into work or play with infinite enthusiasm He had no patience with half hearted peo- pie. A habit of industry was part of his very being. He lived in his new stories. It was a matter of recreation that he wrote in verse. He carried this matter of industry even to his flageolete playing which he played only well. He had a deep con centration which was the key note to his character. Young poets were not afraid to read to him their poems. He was splendid conversationalist His manner was very simple and Entirely 
 MT. Stevenson knew that he could talk well and used it to advantage on many occasions. He had high temper; he commanded invective at times. But in private life he would never speak un- kindly, but would do all he could to do one a good turn. His life at Samoa was a romantic, busy life. He said that in civilization his life was in side room, but at Samoa his was life of freedom and of increasing health His friendship and hospitality was not limited to the white people. He often gave feasts to the natives which were greatly appreciated.

CONNECTICUT RIVER SHAD,
Their Scarcity is Attributed
 Pounds.

Their Scarcity is Attributed to
 Pounds.
 The high price of Connecticut river shad and it's unusual scarcity are at ributed to the presence of pounds that capture the fish before they enter the river. Years ago the shad fishery em- ployed many men. To-day it is almost adbandoned. The Connecticut river shad being the finest have invariably attract ed the greatest price.
 A net years ago attended by two men resulted in a profit of $1 600 for six weeks work At the present time the work brings little profit, so little, indeed, that residents along the Connecticut river have, with few exceptions aban- doned it.
