Gentlemen--I beg to acknowledge
the receipt of your draft for twenty
three dollars, fifty-seven cents, for
which please accept my thanks. This
health policy is the best investment
have made in the past year and the
main reason l took the policy was on
account of it's cheapness. My trouble,
commonly known as barber's itch, was
very painful, but the satisfaction

begrudge it, Thanking you for your
promptness, beg to remain,
Very truly yours.

A motion to strike is pending before
the street car mems union. 1t is likely
though 1t will not be adopted.
When thd company officials and the
committee representing the employees
concluded their conference yesterday
morning. the men were inslstent upon
the railway company agreeing to the
clause that none but union men
should work on the cars or in the
barn, and the company was firmly
opposed to agreeing to anything
stronger than a clause to the effect
that union men would not be dis
eliminated against. AS to the Keller
and Seeley cases, II was agreed by the
company that a compromise should be
effected by the men agreeing TO take
Keller into the union. while Seeley
was to be given some other employ
ment. this compromise TO be contin-
gent upon the men accepting the
counter proposition of the company in
regard to the employment OF union
men.
The report of the committee made TO
the meeting of the men, which fol-
lowed the conference, was the cause
of disucussion which lasted till
nearly 5 o'clock.
MOTION AMENDED.
A motion was made that the men
refuse to work till the company sign
the agreement just as 1t was presented
to General Manager Silliman last Sat
urday. An amendment was made that
the company should he given twenty
four hours to sign, and that If the
signature was not forthcoming in that
time the men go on strike.
The committee reported, among
other things, that President Clark
had contended that the mems demand
| was an illegal one; that they had no
! right, under the law, to insist that the
| company be compelled to hire only
| union men.
This contention was the cause of
most of the prolonged debate. Finally
il was decided to let the motion TO
strike go over until the committee
could consult an attorney. The conf
! mittee was empowered to modify the
clause in question to conform to the
ideas OF the attorney it should en-
gage.
Attorney NJ f. Conry was selected
as it's legal adviser and a conference
was had with him last night. After
the meeting one of the committeeman
stated to n Tribune reporter that il
was the intention to modify the de-
mand so that the company could hire
whomever it pleased, but before the
new man could be placed on the regu-
lar list he should be made to join the
| union.
ANOTHER PROPOSITION.
This proposition, providing it meets
with the approval of the employees at
torney, will be submitted to Presiden
Clark this morning at o'clock.
Another meeting of the men will taxi
place tomorrow morning to hear wha
President Clarke has to say on thu
pending motion. The meeting will als'
pass upon Keller's application for mem
bership, which was presented at yes
terday's meeting and laid over for fu
ture consideration.

MINNA vON BARNHELM.
Next Wednesday at the Hyperion

Next Wednesday at the Hyperion.
 A thoroughly unique event in the theatrical annals of New Haven is to be the performance of "Minna Von Barnhelm in German by members of the Irving Place Theater company, un- der the personal management of Hein- rich Conried, on next Wednesday evening. March 6, at the Hyperion the ater. This event of the greatest inter est in itself is rendered doubly inter- esting at this particular time because of MT. Conried's independence towards 1 the theater trust, of which we have been hearing so much lately and be- cause the best New York dramatic crit ics have Just "discovered' Mir, Conried as the theatrical manager par excel I lence. Norman Hapgood, the well known dramatic critic of the Commer- cal Advertiser and the Bookman, in his book, ''The Stage in America" which Is to appear shortly from the Macmil- Ian Press, has devoted one whole chap ter to "The Only Theater in America" by which he means "the little house on Irving place, the dramatic home of MT. Conried and his company. This critic,
  in New Haven, having lectured before the Saturday Morning club and the Graduate club is most enthusiastic in his praise for MT. Conried as man ager, who is perhaps the only manager in America influenced solely by the highest ideals of dramatic art and who has brought together a company at his theater which has no superior in Amer ica. In this chapter MT. HapGood says: "The drama at the Irving Place thea ter is on higher plane than in any other theater in New York-on a very much higher plane than 1t was at Daly's during the life time of MT Daly" Later he writes: "The leading dramatic critic in England told me at a rehearsal at the Irving Place theater that it was his opinion that our G e. MT. Conried's) German theater stood above everything in London as dis tinctly as it does above evrything in New York"
 The dramatic critics of Boston and New York press, where "Minna Von Barnhelm" was performed before Har- ward and Columbia universities re- spectively, were unanimous in their praise of the highly artistic renoemng of the play and the unusual excellence of the actors MT. Conried brings the same company to New Haven, the pick of his stock company, and has been making special preparations to have the New Haven performance surpass those in other cities. The chance to witness this performance of the best of German comedies and one of the great German classics is an unusual oppor- tunity. opportunity to be rivalled only at the great German capitols and ought not to be neglected by any person in terested either in German or in really l high dramatic art
 The sale of seats begins next Mon day at the Hyperion box office. Prices are $1 50, $1, 75 and 50 cents.

MAY MAKE HIS FORTUNE E

 TOR STRUCK OIL.

M. J. Fahcy, Manager Western Union
 Branch Office at Tontine Hotel-Las.
 Night Saw Newspaper Report of Rich Oil Find Near Kings Mountain, s. c. Mas Leascand Option on the Land.
 The possibility of fortune has opened up for M. J. F'ahy, manager of the Western Union branch telegraph of- flee at the Tontine hotel in this city. It comes from a brief dispatch in New York paper yesterday noon of a rich oil find near Kings Mountain, s. c.
 The dispatch reads that a rich oil find has been made near Kings Noun tain by Rev F. R. Elan, Baptist minister, and there is great excitement in the community. MT. Fahey has in his possession lease from MT, Elam of fifty thousand acres of land, which comprises the district of the reported find in the counties of York and Che rokee, s. C., and over the line into Cleveland and Gaston counties, N. c. The lease is for the period of one year, and gives MT. Fahey the option of buy ing the entire area within that time at ninety dollars per acre. MT. Fahey, whose attention was called last night to the account in the New York paper, immediately telegraphed to MT Elam to verify the report, and is anxiously awaiting q reply.
 For about three years MT. Fahey has been making a study of mining engi- neering and chemistry apart from his duties as telegraph operator, and dur ing the Klondlke agitation went west. His health failing him, however, on reaching Seattle, he returned, and has since occupied a position at the Ton tine hotel. When seen last night he said that if he found the report of the oil find to be true, he would immediate ly confer with local capitalists in re- gard to establishing plant and begin ming active operations in that region. II is located in a rich iron and bituml- nous country, and MT. Fahey conjec- lures that the oil discovery was made during some tests for coal which were being conducted under his direction. The country is intersected by three

 $10,O00.
 The current issue of the Yale Uniyer-a sity Bulletin announces the estabish- ment of a fellowship in American his- tory for which S10,00G has been received from Jonathan Bulkley, of New York city, graduate of the class of 1879. The fellowship is established in mcrl- ory of MT. Bulkieys sister, and is glv- en on the part of various members of tbe Bulkley family.

Chronic Catarrh.

s. I. Nance, of Robeson Fork, Tenn, writes as follows:
 q will state that I am entirely well of that dreadful disease, catarrh. I was afflicted with it for fifteen years, and it was a very aggravated case for the last five years. No one can possibly realize the value of Peruna until he tries it for himself. It will certainly cure the worst case of chronic catarrh. I had as bad a case as l ever saw. I have taken seven bottles of Peruna and every one was worth $100 to me. I haven't the language to express my gratefulness to you for your kindness to me and the interest you have taken in my case."- s. I. Nance.
 Some cases take longer than others. Perhaps the average length of time it takes to cure q genuine case of catarrh is three months. Some get cured much sooner than this. Stubborn cases may require longer treatment. Time or trouble ought to be no barrier to one afflicted with this dreadful disease.

 "As an article of real merit I gladly endorse Peruna. l have used it several times in the past five years, and found it | q first class tonic, a fine medicine to stop | coughing, and especially valuable in cases of winter catarrh from which | almost every man in Chicago suffers | more or less.
