 THE MILLIONAIRE AT THE HY-
 PERION.
 The new KIaw and Erlanger produc- tion, '"The Millionaire" which will have it's first presentation at the Hyperion theater on October 15, tells very fun ny story of the adventures of bil- lionaire. The play opens at Nice dur ing carnival time, and introduces, be- sides John Doe, the millionaire, MT. and Mrs. Peppercorn and two marriageable daughters, Miss Pansy God, from Bird Center, Iowa, who is abroad taking mu- sic lessons and has exhausted the col lection taken up in her behalf by the good church people in her native town. The billionaire becomes interested in the girl discoveres that her ambitions and her voice are only second to Paths, and seeing a good opportunity to dis pose of his burdensome wealth, imme- diately decides to build a theater for her in New York city, write the plays himself and make her great star. This decision takes the party back to New York and the second act shows one of the cleverest and most amusing scenes constructed in long time. It is a lobby of a theater, which leads in- to another scene, showing the theater itself. In other words, there is a mimic stage upon the real stage, including proscenium, balcony and boxes. Here we find the typical first nighters with their remarks both during and after the performance, in fact, all the fun that happens on the auditorium side Of a theater on a first night. Here also is given a music hall performance, in which the humorous side of the usual features of that sort of entertainment are shown The billionaire decides to take a fiashlight photograph of his au- dience on the first night, which after wards reveals MT. Peppercorn i'll an upper box with Maisie Frivol, and Mrs Peppercorn in the box below with a young lieutenant. The complications may well be imagined when the merci- less negative shows up these charac- ters. Mr. Jerome Sykes, who is too wei known to New Haven theater goers tt make any further comment will takt the leading part. The performance will be repeated Thursday, Friday ant Saturday, October 16, 1T and IS, witl matinee Saturday. Sale of seats open Friday, October 10. Prices $1.50, $l.o and 75c.. .at1 k

OBITUARY NOTES.
Death of wm. H. Leishman. Former
 WeII.Known New Haven Business

welI.Known New Haven Business
 Man.
 The many New Haven friends of Will liam Harrison Leishman will mourn ms death which came suddenly on Monday last at his home in Terminal, Califor- mia. MT. Leishman, by advice Of ms physicians, went from New Haven to southern California twenty years ago for the improvement of his health, which had been poor for year or two and was gradually growing worse. His health was greatly improved by the change of air, and for the last twenty years he had been engaged in business at Terminal, which Is near Los Angeles, and he was one of the leading men or the place. For wears past he was pro- prietor of large blaming mill at Ter minal. He was sixty-six years old. About all his life previous to going to California was spent in New Haven, and he was for years prominent in the real estate business here and in the or namental plastering business, his office and shop being on Union street, in
 
 son had his office and shop for years and where the Riggs cutlery shop was located. also where the Stevens coach lamp factory was for years. MT, Leish- man accumulated money rapidly in the real estate boom of 1871, but in the slump in prices that followed lost a con- siderable part of his gains. He was ac- tive and prominent in temperance work | in New Haven for years and was a member of the old North church, now inc Tinted church. He was a man Of sterling worth of character and an eX- i cellent citizen. He was prominent in the Masonic order for years and when here was a member of Old Hiram lodge. He was a past master of his Masonic lodge in California. He spent several months in New Haven latelyh coming here last spring and returning to Cali l f0rnia about two months ago. He leaves A. wife. who resides at 250 Shelton ave- nue, this city, and who was Miss Har- i riet Lathrop, of Norwich. Conn. He | leaves also one daughter, Mrs. Freder- | ick l.. Grannis, of 250 Shelton avenue 1 this city, and two sons, William L.. of this city, but who for the last eight months has been assisting in the man. agement of his fathers business n Cal ifornia, and Charles A., who is with the John E. Bassett company hardware firm, this city. He leaves also two sis ters, Mrs. George Kilbourn, of 20 Wool sey street, this city, and Mrs. James Lathrop, now of Norwich, Conn. His father, the late Archibald Leishman for many years was proprietof of car pet factory in this city.
 The funeral of MT Leishman takes place to-daN at Terminal, the Masonic lodge having charge, and the intermen will be in that place.
 A sad fact in connection with tht case is that MT. Leishman's wife re
 ceived a letter from him last Monda! which was assuring, and later in thu day received from her son in California
 the sad news of his death.

THE MAYOR WILL VETO
THE ACTION OF THE ALDERMEN
 ON THE COAL STRIKE.

Chamber rofCOmmerce's Executive Com- mittee Holds Special Meeting and Dis countenances the AIdermen's Action Remonstrance on Aidermanic ResoIu- ton to be Sent to Washington. Mayor Studley announced yesterday l afternoon in response to enquiries on the subject that he would veto the al- l dermen's resolution adopted Monday night regarding the coal strike. It will be remembered that the board of aldermen passed vote requesting President Roosevelt to immediately de- clare the coal lands to be public proper ty, after due compensation, and to have them so held and worked by the gov- ernment. The board also adopted reso- lutions appointing Aldermen Trueman, Sprightly and Lyman delegates to the convention to be held next week in the city of Detroit, for the purpose of de- ciding upon the ways and means whereby a settlement of the coal strike may be effected. This matter was con- sidered also at a special meeting of the executive committee of the chamber of commerce yesterday afternoon. There were present President Edward E. Bradley, Vice President Rollin M Woodruff, Past President Max Adler, and Directors Baldwin, Wells and Farnsworth. While the committee were in session it was learned that Mayor Studley would in all probability veto the resolutions passed by the aldermen which action would meet with the ap- provai of the committee. The members of the committee also expressed their confidence that the board of finance would not make any appropriation of funds in the municipal treasury for the purpose of defraying any expense incurred by the delegates to the De- troit convention. (The board of finance yesterday afternoon as shown by re- port in another column rejected the proposition to appropriate money to send any such delegation). No action on the part of the chamber of com- merce committee was deemed necessary, but it is not unlikely that the matter will be called to the attention of the chamber of commerce at its meeting this meeting.
