WEST HAVEN FIREBUGS.

Big Effort Made to Capture One or
More of Them.
The West Haven people are now full
ly convinced that there are a number
of fire fiends in the borough and that

Immediately it is expected that more
valuable building than the one destroy
ed last Saturday will go down under
the firebug's match. There seems to be
no doubt now that the blaze that de-
stroyed the small Main street building
early Sunday was of incendiary origin
and big effort is being made by the
West Haven authorities to get a clue
that will land the malicious person or
persons.
There are unoccupied buildings in
the borough that would make all kinds

citizen of West Haven yesterday, land

REQUESTS BY CHARLES II, HoYT.


Friends Remembered Rather Than
Relatives-Gifts for Actors.
New York, Nov 26,--The will of
Charles Fl. Hoyt, the playwright, who
died a week ago at Charlestown, N.
H.. was filed for probate to-day. 1t
contains a number of requests to his
personal and business friends, with the
explanation that the testator has no
cousins to be considered, and that his
cousins and distant relatives had never
shown by any act any desire for his
friendship or good will; hence he has
deemed it more consistent with fair
dealing and justice to dispose of his
property to those who during his life
had been his constant companions and
well wlshers, and to such charities as
in his judgment We're most fitting"
The residue of the estate, real and
personal, with the exception of Mr..
Hoyt's homestead at Charlestown, N.
H., is bequeathed to his executors, in
trust after certain minor charges have
been satisfied. Frank Mckee, his part
ner, is to receive half the remaining in
come for life. The testator then di-
reefs that the moneys remaining from
said income be distributed equally be-
tween the Lambs and the Actors Fund
of the City of New York, and that his
homestead be maintained for the use of
the Lambs, so long as the club shall ex-
ist, but that it be known as "Hoyts
Pasture for the Lambs" Should the
club go out of existence, the income to
which it would have been entitled is
to be used to maintain the premises as
a home for such dramatic authors in
need as are approved by the trustees
of the Actors Fund and the premises
are to be under the management of the
trustees of the Actors Fund, and are
to be known as 'Hoyt's Home for ORA
matte Authors After the death of
Frank Mckee, the income which was
to go to him is to be evenly divided
between the Lambs and the said Ac-
tors Fund.

Hyperion Thcater.

Arizona" which comes to the Hy-
perion tonight, is the third play of the
| state" series which Augustus Thomas
has given the stage. Alabama" and
In MizzOura" cleverly reflected the
scenes and people, customs and Incl
dents which Thomas had become fa-
miliar with in his boyhood and early
manhood. In ARIZONA" he has utilized
whole lot of personal knowledge
which he gained during an active
career of two or three years as cow
| boy on the southwestern cattle ranges.
No less distinguished authority than
| Governor Murphy of Arizona has tes-
titled as to correctness the types which
| Thomas has pictured in the new play.
| Governor Murphy was particularly en-
| thuslastic over the ranchman, Henry
! Candy, as he is played by Charles w,
Stokes The play has an additional
great attraction on its picturesque
| scenes from Aravaipa Valley and Fort
Grant. Frederic Remington lent both
his taste and his pencil to the correct
presentation of the scenes and the CO.'S
tunes of the production. The play has
the life of the frontier from the terri
tory where it has not yet ceased to be
picturesque, and will doubtless prove q
highly attractive entertainment, There
are many distinguished names in the
cast of players employed in the inter-
pretation of Arizona" including Guy

Rev. DR.. Crafts and Miss Leitch at

Rev. DR.. Crafts and Miss Leitch at
Church of the redeemer.

ty-five persons was present at the

ing the use of alcoholic liquors and
opium. These two speakers are work
ing In the interests of Z movement to
secure expansion of the treaties of 1890
and 1899 for the protection of the ma
tives of central Africa as will secure
world wide protection of native races
DR. Crafts is superintendent of the
bureau which is endeavoring to bring
about this reform and he and Miss
Leitch have presented the plans of the
reform in many conventions and in
other cities.
Hon. N. D. Sperry presided at last
nights meeting and introduced the two
speakers. Dr. Crafts said that the Brit
isl1 government realized that if natives
We're allowed to procure liquor ad libi-
tum they would not be able to buy
other merchandise which Great Britain
had to sell. Realizing this the govern
ment was striving now to prevent the
sale of liquor to natives of the semi
civilized countries occupied by the
British He hoped that treaties would
be made which would lead the other
IL, Ill.,
same policy.
Miss Leitch referred to a number of
bills which would be presented at the
coming congress to further the reform
for which she and her colleague We're
working She explained how the people
of the country could use influence with
senators and congressman to have these
bills passed and urged that such influ-
ence be used. At the close of the ard
dress a collection was taken up.

Visitors Exceiled ina First Period and
Scored Their Only Goal-Blues There
upon Took the Game In Hand and
Won by z Goals to 1.
Waterbury went down before the
New Haven polo team at the rink last
night in a game that barring the first
period was too one-sided to raise a
great deal of enthusiasm among the
1000 cranks who attended.
In the first period the visitors
played rafting good game and kept
the Blues from scoring, while Jeans
was able to add the only goal for his
side. In the second period the Blues
became more aggressive and but for
the splendid defense of Jeans, Holder
ness and Fox would have scored much
oftener than they did. 1t was the third
period however, before the home team
fairly woke up and then Bone got
around in such a swift and clever man
ner that the Brass City men found it
hard to keep him in check. During
this period the home players added five
more goals to their credit, while the
visitors were unable to get ball safe
