THE NEW MISSION HOUSE

| The new City Mission building on | Orange street, near Court, is now re- 1 ceivng the roof and will be under cover in a few days. The furring is also well | as soon as the plumbing pipes are in place. The plumbing work will be be- gun on Monday next.
 The rooms and various divisions of the building are now clearly outlined. The auditorium is pronounced very fine room by those who have seen it. If | closely seated it will accommodate some 75O chairs, gallery included. The gal
 ery is to be convertible by means of sliding sash partitions into three sep te rooms which may be used, inde pendently of the auditorium as a part of the second floor of the building. The children's hall, over the audi torium, is also a very fine room. some sixty feet square. This room, like the auditorium below, is built without pill lar or post so as to render it converti- be into a gymnasium for girls and young women as means may be secured
 
 bath and locker rooms provided over which runs a gallery for spectators.
 The project of providing means for such pleasure and benefit for girls, as an expansion of the girls work already in hand has met with great favor. It is fact that very little indeed has been undertaken in the way of providing means for the physical, social and 1e.zH : al advantage of New Haven girls on any considerable scale, Meanwhile the number of girls and young women em- ployed in the various occupations has been steadily increasing. It is to be hoped that some friend of the girls and having means, may volunteer to equip this room with the apparatus needed so that physical culture classes may be early undertaken.
 The contractors hope to finish the building in July and but a few weeks later than the time mentioned in the contract. Meantime representatives of the association are looking up the funds, But 1000 now remain to be secured to complete the building and avoid all debt. Nearly 300 of our citi- zens have been contributors to the fund for the lot and the erection of this building. The response has almost uni versally been generous and willing Many thousands who are now men and women grown have been at some time attendants upon the Mission and have reason to remember gratefully some influence in their lives which has come out of English Hall. All such are in- vited to contribute at least ten cents, which is just the cost of a brick and what goes with it in the new building. Many will wish to take five or ten. Such contributions will be received each Sat urday afternoon and evening at Eng fish Hall. Larger contributions should be sent to Pierce N. Welch, the treasurer, at the First National bank.

 NIGHT
 Mrs. Burton Harrison, the author of 'The Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch,' in which Mrs Fiske will be seen at the Hyperion tonight, has long list of successful works of polite fiction, and has made several successful essays in drama, of the kind popular with society, her work being much sought after by amateurs of exclusive circles; and as she was successfully known to the professional theater eighteen years ago, when her play, "A Russian Honeymoon" adapted from Scribe's ''Lune de Miel," was play ed at the then famous Madison Square theater, New York. Undoubtedly Der greatest work is 'The Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch,'' which gives Mrs. Fiske's won- derful dramatic powers full play. Talk ing recently of the preliminary process es of it's production at the Manhattan theater, New York, Mrs. Harrison said: 'For month before the production of The UnWelcome Mrs. Hatch I went daily over the scenes at rehearsal and afterward studied them in detail with Mrs. Fiske, she reading or reciting, I cutting or adding, as the case might de- mand.

SET BY YOUNG BOYS.

Fire Yesterday Afternoon Destroyed a
 Barn and Part of Another.
 Two boys five and six years old did a good deal of damage yesterday after noon in the southwestern part of the city. Norman Wrisley, five years old and his chum, Arthur Dejon, a veal older, living at 95 Elliott street, thought they would have little bonfire in their neighborhood and, so that nobody would spoil their fun they decided to have the fire on the floor of the barn belonging to William Flaherty, next door to the home of the boys
 They got together a lot of shavings and rubbish and started her going. The fire gained headWay to & great extent before it was discovered by neighbor, who sent in an alarm from box 621, To- cated at the corner of Sylvan avenue and Orchard street.
 When the department arrived the fire had got so far advanced that hope of saving the barn in which it was lighted was given up and the work of the firemen was directed in saving the barn at the rear of 142 Asylum street. This latter barn was burned to some extent but MT. Flaherty's barn was destroyed. The small boys looked on in delight, hardly expecting that their little fun would amount to such a big fire.

YESTERDAYS BALL GAMES
NEWARK DEFEATS NEW HAVEN IN
 CLOSE CAME.
Score 1 to O-The Best Exhibition in This City This season.-Locals Now Putting Up Fine Article of Ball.

In a close and exciting game of base ball before a small crowd of specta- tors, the NeWarks yesterday afternoon retrieved their lost laurels by defeating the New Haven team, The final score was | to 0. The game was the best eX- hibition of baseball that has been seen in New Haven this year and the error less playing of the visitors was worthy of a large audience.
 1t is needless to say that the New Haven team showed up in fine form and but for the error made by Anklam in the first inning the game might have proceeded until darkness set in before either sled would have scored.
 The only errors credited in the game were given O'Brien and Anklam, but despite these the men put up an article of baseball that was more like mid season playing than practice game.
 In fact every man on the visiting team had taken very noticeable brace and the result was very gratifying to those who like good baseball.
 The visitors only run was made in the first inning on a bad tumble by Anklam. McAndrews, the first batter went down on an easy grounder to rHanifan and Fulson, who followed, was retired in similar manner.
 Mcintyre started the ball rolling by landing heavily for two base hit Schroll made a clean single which went into Anklam's territory and had the latter stopped it Mcintyre would have been left at third, for the next man went out on a grounder to short

BRITAIN AND SHIP TRUST
4 STATEMENT IN THE HOUSE OF
 COMMONS.
Rights of the Admiralty to be Deaned-- White Star Liners Transfer to For- Agreement.

London, April 24-In the House of Commons to-day the secretary of the admiralty, Hugh 0. Arnold-Forster, re- plying to d question: said that the ad- miralty was considering the whole mat ter of ship subsidies with the view of defining the rights of the admiralty in the event of contingencies arising such as the suggested shipping combination, When the present form of agreement was settled upon no trade combinations under foreign control were contemplat- ed but the admiralty had appointed committee to consider and report on the purpose and form of future subsidy agreements.
 The admiralty in the meanwhile had made arrangements with the White Star line which preclude the possibility of any of their armed cruisers or mer- chant steamers being transferred to a foreign flag without the consent of the admiralty during the unexpired portion of the admiralty agreements. Impor- tant legal points were involved, includ- ing the questions whether, in the event of war, there was anything to prevent these companies from substituting foreign for the British flag at short mo- tice, and whether the admiralty has the means of enforcing it's right of pre- emption or hire in such case; or if, by abandoning the subvention, the eompa- nies could claim that the right of pre- empton ceased. All such points would be carefully considered, and the admir- alty's rights would be ascertained.
 Replying to a question in the House of Commons later as to whether the board of trade had received information that several steamship lines had been sold to an American company, with it's principal place of business in the Unit ed States, and whether the vessels so sold would retain the British flag, the president of the board of trade, Gerald Balfour, said he had no information showing that the sale had been accom- plished. If the vessels had been sold they would pass to another flag.
 A. J. Balfour, the government leader, answering a question in the house re- garding the grOWthf of trusts in Eng land and whether the government would appoint a committee to inquire into the subject, said the government did not think that the subject. at present. was ripe for the kind of inquiry suggested.
 It was said this afternoon that the present uncertain position of the Gu nard and other steamship companies in standing out from the Atlantic steam ship combination was to some extent due to the action of the admiralty, as outlined by MT. Arnold Forster in the House of Commons to-day.

 LESS CANDY.
Better to Give Children Delicious Food
 Than Candy.

Some foods will cure dyspepsia and other foods will cause it. The safest way to get well is to use the food that agrees with the stomach and permits Nature to go along in thoroughly natural way.
 A lady says, q have at last found a true way to get we'll and keep we'll, and that is by the use of Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food.
 For six years I suffered with ndi- gestion and palpitation of the heart so that could not sleep nights tried great many different kinds of medi- cines and q lot of different kinds of cereals, but none of them helped me, and my stomach seemed to get verse and worse.
 I became very Respondent and was q loss to know what to do. One day I read in the paper that Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food would cure indigestion and build up the body. I wondered if it contained any medicine, but learned that it did not but that is was only 8 food prepared so that the stomach could easily digest it,
 The next time l went down town I bought two packages. This was on Tuesday and it was all gone on Satur- day for we all liked it so much so I sent down and got three hore packages and from that time I have been using Grape Nuts steadily and my indiges- ton has entirely disappeared.
 Sometimes when my little girl has been playing extra hard after supper she will climb on my knee, pat my cheek and whisper in my ear, Mamma please give me something good I say (know- ing all the time) What is good, dear?' She says. 'Grape-Nuts with cream on top and there is nothing, candy or anything else, that she enjoys better than this good, wholesome food. She eats it for breakfast every morning and prefers Grape-Nuts pudding for dinner At night she has Grape-Nuts for her supper with a soft boiled egg. and she thrives wonderfully on this kind of food" Name given.by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

with a more radiant intelligence than hers upon all these matters. The fourth act, written two weeks before the pro- duction, was read to the actors the day after it was finished. My idea was to make it poetic-in some sense idyllic- and to retain and emphasize the note Of | courage in Marians endurance of de- feat, in which Mrs. Fiske enthusiasti- cally joined. We agreed that teartul or depressed heroine would ruin our cause at the outset, and that the man ner of Maran's death must be uncoH- ventional. The beautiful acting or Mrs Fiske and MT Haines in that final scene is the result of Mrs. Fiske's own lntul- ton at the last moment of rehearsal. u has produced the singular result upon metropolitan audience of keeping the people seated and silent at the fail or the final curtain, leaning forward Wlth tears running down their cheeks, every night since the piece began. MISS An nie Ward Tiffany's fine work ln that act has also touched the heartstrlngs of the audience to a remarkable de- gree
 In the foregoing Mrs. Harrison has touched only upon the pathetic phase or her very strong play. "The Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch" aside from the power and beauty of it's pathos. is a drama filled with the sunshine of life also. More notably than is the case as to any other recent American play, it has steady alienation of comedy and seriousness, and even it's last act. which so strongly moves audiences is filled with comedy. r.4 iI1 Wbipb Mrs Fiske also appears, follows "The Un- welcome Mrs. Hatch"
