The home of Henry Elan, colored,
situated in Irish town, was destroyed
by fire Wednesday afternoon. The
fire department responded promptly
to the alarm but upon arriving in the
neighborhood of the fire found that
the blaze could not be reached with
the hose available. The house was
good sized frame and was compara-
lively new. Very little of the fur
niture was saved and very little
insurance was carried. Elan seems
fated to meet loss by fire as this is the
second time he has been burned out.

ONLY A FEW LEONIDS.

Yale astronomers did not have much success this year in getting photo- graphs of the Leonids A big staff of professors and assistants were on duty all of last week and up to Monday night watching for the expected shower of meteors. Specially arranged photo graphic apparatus were put at the Yale observatory and at the observatory sta- tion in Centerville.
 The fall of meteors was light. The plates are still undeveloped and the definite results of the observations are not yet known. On four nights of last week a dozen plates were exposed at each station each night and impress sions of the meteors were obtained, Early Friday morning the Yale astron- omers noticed many Leonds. They tumbed from the heavens at the rate of thirty-five or forty an hour. This was the best display during the entire period of observation at the Yale obser- Vatories.

MILDRED HOLLAND AT THE HY-
 pERIOM Tl- NIlIIT


 MILDRED HOLLAND AT THE HY-
 PERION TONIGHT.
 The attraction at the Hyperion the ater tonight will be the second pre- sentaion in New Haven of 'The Power Behind the Throne" in which play Miss Mildred Holland is again starring this season. It is said that in this roman- tic drama she has secured the greatest success of her career. It was written by Theodore Kremer, and is founded on Schiller's classic, Love and h. trigue." Following presentation at Troy, New York, the Record of that city said that Miss Holland received the greatest ovation ever given an ac- tress in that city, and that she did not only receive numerous curtain calls at the end of each act, but after the cur tain had gone down on the, last act of the performance, the audience remained in the theater, and the applause was almost deafening, the curtain being raised and lowered again and again. Miss Mildred Holland in this play por- trays legitimately serious role, that of Aria, musicians daughter, and is said to amply demonstrate that she is possessed of all the sentiment and power which are necessary to place her in the foremost ranks of Americas emotional actresses. Scenically the pro- duction is on an elaborate scale. The costumes are beautiful and historically correct. Furniture is carried by the company in order to produce the neces- sary harmonious effect. The principal members of the cast are Lillian Nor ris, Rita O'Neal, Camille Porter Tillie Thompson Rose Gadsby, Wright M. Lorimer, Samuel Lewis, William H. Pendergast, Del De Louis, Carter Weaver, Kenneth Davenport Edward R. Lewis and a number of others. Seats now on sale. Prices $1, 75c, soc, 35c, 25c.
 Madame Lilli Lehman will give song and Wagner recital at the Hy- perion on Thursday night, November 21 Reinhold Herman will assist at he piano. An exchange speaking of Mme says; She brings back the calm sostenuto, the smooth legato and the delicate mezzovoce of her beautiful natural organ and her correct, polished and all the lighter and tender CT songs of yesterday were near an ap- parently effortless perfection in those respects. In the more energetic and passages the disposition to make point strenuously or to be dra- matic in a general way sometimes pinched or roughened the quality, as in the "Waldesgespraech" and the Wal but those were specks in the amber The programme was pro- beginning with the refined re- serve of the earlier Schubert songs, on three phases of Schumann's fancy, enlarging to the gaiety and then the wildness of the Loewe ballads, deep tenderness for the ''Ade- aide,' and at the end fullness of spirit with the "Egmont" songs.
 There was nothing finer than the 'Nussbaum," which was tremendously and the Gretchen was full of genuine simple pathos. But we did not like the "Erlkoenig." It followed

not unusual disposition to intensity the child at the expense of artistic propor- tion, magnifying his vague fright and confusion, crying for reinsurance and protection, into comprehended terror, shrieking with adult demand for rescue. The elf, indeed, was eXquisitely sug- gested, but the narrator and the father sank into inconsequecnce. Less effort would have been more effectual.
 Mme. Lehman was as stately and serene as ever, but she looked strange with her becomingly dignitied gray hair. The audience was with her from the first, recalled her with cordial inn periousness after each group, and at the end of the concert insisted upon some thing more, whereupon she gave a song we did not ecognize-possibly some composition by MT Hermann, whose pianoforte accompaniments had been perfection.

The journey of the heroine through the breakers to the ship, suspended on tossing lifeline, forms the climax of the third act The telegraph scene in the second act and the fight on the cliff in t!e last act are declared every bit as thrilling.

Its leading feature is the Gainsborough Octette, in which four handsome girls, garbed in Gainsborough style, appear, accompa- nied by four graceful young fellows in bewiggled and satined court costumes. The music to which the act is set is bright, catchy and tuneful, and all the members of the company have good voices It is staged richly and Is a real novelty of taste and artistic refine mert.
 Lew Sully, the comedian, took the house by storm with jolly talk and several songs that were all the better for his rich and resonant voice.

WOMAN SENT TO JAIL.
Mary F. Griffin of Waterbury is Im-
 prisoned for Debt.

Mary F. Griffin of Waterbury is I'm prisoned for Debt.
 Yesterdays Waterbury American says: Mary E. Griffen, alias Mrs. Brown, started for New Haven jail this afternoon in the custody of Deputy SheriIY Rigney, to be confined in that institution for refusing to pay debt incurred by her and still acknowledged by her to be due for the burial of her daughter Carrie Griffin. The debt was incurred by her in 1899 to w. F. Tom linsOn, the undertaken, who. was at the station this afternoon to see his recall citrant debtor off Her son-in-law, Frederick A. Warner. who was her special bail, was also one of the party gathered at the station platform. He delivered his principal and mother-in- law into the hands of the officer in ac- oordance with that officials demand. The son-in-law accompanied the mother in-law to jail to take what steps were possible to make her comfortable there or have her liberated. Attorney O'Neil also was one of the party to go down to the jail.
 This is one of the first, probably in any event the second instance, in the state of Connecticut where a woman has been imprisoned in jail on civil process The ground on which Mrs. Griffin is imprisoned is for fraud in concealing her property and refusing to pay the debt and later the judgment which MT Tomlinson obtained against her. The amount of the judgment is now nearly S300 nearly dOuh1e tha orig inal bill contracted by her and her daughter, Mrs. Frederick Warner, at the time the original debt was incurred.
