SUCCESSFUL WINTER MEETING

of New Haven Chautauqua Union
State Assembly to be Held in July.
A successful winter meeting of the
New Haven Chautauqua union was
held last evening in the Davenport
Congregational church.
The feature of the meeting was the
reading of an excellent critical paper on
Shakespere's Romeo and Juliet" by
Miss NJ Austice Harris 1t included a
discussion Of the early versions Of this
famous love story in English, which
were the material on which Shakespeare
founded his tragedy, a description of
the Elizabethan stage on which the
play was first acted, and a thoroughly
discriminating analysis of the plot and
characters Throughout the paper Miss
Harris showed taste and delicacy of
treatment that displayed to the best adj
vantage the scholarly merits of her
theme.
After this paper the president James
a. Howarth, introduced Rev. George
M. Brown, D. D., of Derby, who is the
secretary Of the Connecticut G. l.. s. c.
DR.. Brown addressed the meeting on
the Connecticut Chautauqua assembly,
which will be held at Plainville this
year during the days Of July 81 and
July 81. The tl1irty-frst day of July
will be Recognition day, and the speak
err strongly urged the union to send
delegates to the assembly with as
many members as possible in the class
of 1901. He gave most encouraging
report Of the Chatauqua work through
out the country during the past year,
and predicted that the next year will
be the most successful In the history of
the movement Nearly every state In
the union has one or more assemblies,
the west being better represented than
the east in this respect. Although the
work has been most successfully car
ried on by the help of various church
denominations, it has been in charac-
ter wholly undenominational.
+ Before the refreshments were served
song was rendered in italian by young
Pasuuale Gamberdella, accompanied by
Professor Leopold.
Among the officers of the union are
James A. Howarth, president; Fl. Fl.
Taylor, vice president; Miss Ella E.
Smith, secretary; and Miss Calista
Bristol, financial secretary.

FOR BREACH OF PROMISE.

Suit Brought Against the Young Duke
of Manchester.
Liverpool, March G. - On the arrival
here to-day of the White Star line
steamer Oceanic, from New York, Feb
ruary 81, the Duke of Manchester with
his bride was a passenger on board, was

of promise at the instance of Portia
| Knight of London.
London, March 6-Miss Knight, who
has brought suit for breach of promise
against the young Duke OF Manchester,
said Tonight

papers. I have brought the suit, not

because felt in duty bound to all my
friends here in England. For their sake.
as well as my own, I have every wish
that the proceedings should be as pri-
vate as possible. | only met the Duke
of Manchester since I came to England
a year ago, but really l must refer you

of the most interesting marriages be-
tween American heiresses and represen-
tatives of the British peerage had It's

Manchester so suddenly made Miss
Zimmerman a duchess Miss K nights
allegations are not yet obtainable, but
it is evident that she is in earnest and
that the suit was brought without any
idea of gaining publicity. She is about

quaintance began, a representative of
The Associated Press is informed when
Miss Knight was living in Stirmins

NOT KILLED AFTER HI.
Report of a Fatal Duel In France a.
Hoax,

| Paris, March 7-12:55. The report
that John Wilson Durant of Albany, N
Y, who had been living during the last
two years in Paris with his mother, at
the Hotel Lafonde Tremoille, had been
killed at Ostend in duel, with a Rus
| sian count, was an invention of his
own. Mr.. Durant Is still alive.
| No duel was fought. The whole story
was a pure fabrication. This was def
nitely established last evening when it
became known that two letters had
been received in Paris from Mr.. Durant,
one dated Ostend, March 3, and the 9TH
er London, March 4. In the former he
asks the recipient to make certain per-
sonal arrangements and to forward his
mail to Glasgow, care Of "P S. Peat"
Kelinside, and in the latter he exposes
himself by saying, after requesting that
a change be made In the arrangement
suggested In the first letter, and that
his mail be forwarded to London, You
will understand that | am officially
dead. Keep up Illusion. These let
ters are in Mr.. Durant's own handwrit-
ing.
The evidence originally appeared to
establish conclusively the fact of a duel
The first clew was the following death
notice appearing in the European edi-
ton of the New York Herald:
"Durant.--At Ostend, Belgium, March
8, John MacWilson Durant."
The attention of the American con-
sulate Was called to this and an inves-
tigat ton was Immediately opened which
revealed the following telegram, writ
ten in French, that had been received
by Mr.. Durant's betrothed Mile. Laure
Magin, yesterday morning:
"Ostend, undated.--My friend Durant
is dead. Count is very seriously wound
ed. (Signed) Louis Therrlott de Grief
fin"
The signature Is the name of one of
Mr. Durant's friends, and the SUPPOSE
ton is that Mr. Durant sent the tele-
gram himself.
London, March John Durant and
his mother were found last evening at
the Euston hotel. When interrogated
on the subject of the report of his death
in a duel at Ostend, he was greatly
taken aback and exhibited extreme agi-
tation at the revelation of his scheme
Finally, resolving upon a frank state
men, he explained that he had had
serious quarrel with Mile Mangin, his
betrothed, and had determined to break
off relations with her. He said he con-
sidered the best exit from the difficulty
was to die at least officially and that
his trouble with the Russian, which
was real, offered the easiest solution of
his ENHANCEMENT. Therefore he took
advantage of his method of announcing
his death. He admitted that he en-
listed the service of a. trusted friend in
Paris to secure the insertion of the
death certificate and he expressed the
greatest chagrin and surprise that the
story had leaked out.
When pressed regarding the alleged
duel, he declined to discuss the matter,
saying II received the kindest treat
nent at the hands of the Russian and
do not wish to cause pain I had
hoped the plan would succeed, intend
ng to remain officially dead for three
1r four months, thus giving my be-
.rothed a plausible explanation for the |

No one met the Duke and Duchess of
Manchester on their arrival at Euston
