Returned from 10000 Mile Trip Satur-
 day Night
 MT. and Mrs. John W. Schroeder and son Chauncey E. Schroeder, MT. and Mrs. George T. Benton of Branford and their son Joseph Benton, and MT. and Mrs. Frank s. Bunnell, who left New Haven August for an extensive west ern trip returned to New Haven Satur- day and report most enjoyable time. MT. Schroeder took the trip especially to look over the mining interests that he represents here. He reports that ev- erything is in a flourishing condition and is greatly pleased with the mining country that he visited both in the United States and Canada.
 The first stop was at Denver, and from there the party went to Mt Nancy in Boulder county, a famous mining place. Cripple Creek was then visited and the stay in this wonderful western town was too short, MT. Schroeder said last night.
 Salt Lake City, where the Elks were in convention was the next on the pro- gramme, and there Dr. Kelly and other NeW E1dNelefS were met Dy MT. Schroeders party. Portland, Seattle, Silverton, Wash, were visited in the order named, and at the last named place the ladies of the party were left behind while the men struck out for the mines in British Columbia.
 The Copper Independent mines of Lake Anderson formed the destination of the men men and they reached there after thrilling ride over mountains and along rivers. At Lake Seton, which is fifty miles from Lake Anderson, John Bull, the chief of the famous Si- wash Indians, was met by the party and during the stay there they became good friends. MT. Schroeder was able to bring east with him the full dress coat of John Bull, one of the most val uable robes of the great chief. Mag nificent bead work is all over the coat and MT. Schroeder now possesses a prize sought for by almost every tray eler in that section.
 The party left Seattle last Monday all in good health.

Grand Opera House.

The Bowery Burlesquers company, who will appear at the Grand opera house to-day, matinee and night, are one of those organizations who are al
 ways welcome, for it goes without say ing that they never failed to give good performance. This is the fifth season that the Bowerys have presented themselves for public approval and pa tronage and it has been most successful both artistically and financially. In- trinsic merit solid value, for money re- ceived accounts for this. A reference to tke artists who make up this show and at sight of the handsome girls and gorgeous costumes, the elaborate scenic and stage effect, reveal the secret of the success that has followed the Bowerys week after week. Twenty-Five girls as fair as a bottle of sunshine and each one possessing a good voice compose the chorus, The various numbers they l execute and the songs they sing are up to date and somewhat sensational and interwoven as they are with the comedy of the burlesque causes kaliedoscopic effect which is as rare as the entertatin- ing. The comedians in stunning as the burlesque is called are a jolly lot of fellows. Equally at home at the ] Waldorf Astoria they are in Chinatown or among the scenes of the BoWery. | The burlesque reveals many of the side | lights that are seen among the upper
 ten as we'll as among the lower thou | sands who make up society in New
 York city. In the olio are the we'll
 known vaudevilllians; the Eretto fam l fly of acrobats and equilibrists; Gilbert l and Goldie, comedy entertainers, the Taylor Trio in their musical and min
 strel idiosyncrasies; Willie and Josie Barrows, buck and wing dancers. Ev-
 cry act is headline quality.
 | Need more be said than is necessary to make the bare announcement that
 that delightful comedy drama, "Old Jed
 Prouty," will make it's appearance up-
 on the boards of the Grand opera house Tuesday and Wednesday nights and at the Wednesday matinee. In addition i to the regular cast that is added a com pany of six vaudevillians who will rem
 der exquisite musical specialties and present other novelties throughout the
 various scenes in the play and he fur
 thermore promises that "Old Jed
 Prouty" will be seen with embellish-
 ments and accessories that adequately
 portray the locale of the story, there
 fore a most enjoyable evenings enter
 tainment may be anticipated.

TWO TABLETS
VIII Occupy Prominent Places
In Public Library.

The trustees OF the public library held
meeting, yesterday afternoon. and the
president was authorized TO appoint
committee 10 decide on a memorial tab
let 10 John Nicholas Brown.
The trustees are of the unanimous opin-
Ion that a tablet OF handsome design was
the most fitting tribute, as II would be
enduring and could easily be placed
where all who enter the building could
see II and at the same time would not
take up any OF the floor space. The tab
let is TO be an elaborate one. and is to
bear the name OF John Nicholas Brown
and also a statement OF his princely gift
The trustees also voted that the same
committee report on "a memorial tablet
to Henry l.. Kendall. 1t was further
voted that $4,000 be appropriated for the
expenses OF the coming year as there
are several improvements which are to
be made, beside the usual expenses. The
election OF officers for the ensuing year
resulted as follows: President-Arnold
Green treasurer-Edward I. Nickerson.
Mr. Green is the first president To sue
ceed Judge Durfee. as there has been no
election since his death.

FOR AMENDMENT
Local Speakers ATgua In Favor
Of ini.Ia.iYs.

A constitutional amendment in the
form of the initiative and referendum was
the topic of discussion at the public as
sembly In Bell street chapel last evening
The first speaker was Amasa Eaton,
ESQ, and he delved into the history of
Constitutional conventions. He main
tained that the people had the right TO
hold such convention even though the
courts maintained that they did not, and
he went on 10 prove that the constitu-
uonal Initiative was a means OF getting
such convention.
Hon. Henry j. Spooner, the second
speaker, devoted his attention mainly to
representation In the general assembly
of the state and pointed out wrongs OF
the present system, especially In the
senate. He said: 'The constitutional
initiative would prove a way and means
toward correcting the evil OF unequal rep
resentauon In our assembly. We are
living under despotism while we are
living under the present state OF affairs.
The constitutional initiative will tend
toward good government and an equal
representation"
The last speaker OF the evening was
George ID. Liddell. and he supported the
previous speakers In their arguments.

Coffin TO RecsIVa Tho Remains
Of Dennis Lahsy Was Sps-
clally Constructed.

New York. Feb. i5.-Dennis Lahey. a
Laurel Hill florist. who was buried yes
terday in Calvary cemetery. weighed $50
pounds, and was regarded as the heaviest
man In the state. He was 80 years old.
was the son OF DIR. Salvador p. Lahey. n
Manhattan physician.
From his infancy he was corpulent, and
he tried various methods without success
To reduce his weight. lie contracted pneu-
monia last Tuesday and went TO bed Ia
his room in McGarry's hotel. Two doc
tors were summoned. but he died on the
following day.
The coffin was the largest ever made
by coffin company In williamsburg. Its
length was 7 feet. width 80 inches and
depth 30Ia inches.
Three-inch screws kept Il braced to-
gether on the inside TO prevent the bot
tom from falling out The combined
weight of the coffin. with the body. was
almost 1900 pounds.
1t had been intended by Lahey's rela-
tives and friends 10 have the body taken
TO ST. Raphaefs Roman Catholic church
In Blissville, whore Rev. Father Carney
was TO have celebrated a mass but this
idea was given up. as II was feared there
might be an accident To the coffin.
Instead, special dispensation was OBJ
tanned from Bishop Mcdonnell for the
holding OF a service in the hotel where
the man had died. When the service was
over. 10 stout men took hold of the coffin
TO bear II 10 a hearse In front of the
hotel. This hearse was braced underneath
with a chain.
Before the coffin could be carried out OF
the hotel all the doors through which IL
had TO pass were unhinged and part of
the jamb of one door had TO be removed.
The progress to the cemetery was very
slow in order to avert breakdown.
When the cemetery was reached a dozen
grave diggers with a stout rope took the
coffin In hand. Great difficulty was ex-
perienced in lowering 1t into the grave.
