"MR. PICKwICK" A SUCCESS.

De Wolfe Hopper Generously Received . Excellent Supporting Company.
 New Haven has always accorded De Wolfe Hopper an enthusiastic recep- tion, and his appearance at the Fly perion last night was no exception. It was in strict contrast to the disagree able condition of the clements.
 A crowded house greeted the present. ation of the musical production, MT. Piciwick," which made decided hit in New York. It is based on Dickens masterpiece, and the characters of the famous novel are produced.
 The company supporting MT. Hopper is headed by Digby Bell. Others are Grant Stewart, Henry Norman, Louise c. Courtney, Laura Joyce Bell and Marguerite Clark. The latter, a spright- ly miss made perhaps the hit of the evening by her dainty solo, Acting" and the accompanying dance. The chorus sang the catchy music well, was beautifully and richly costumed, and the stage settings were splendid.
 'Mr. Pickwick" is certainly a success. At the conclusion of the first act Mr. Hopper made characteristic speech and recited Casey at the Bat" for the benefit of the Yale men present.

Tribute to Rev. Mir. Hiler, of Epworth
 Church.
 Rev. Henry E. Hiler. pastor of the Epworth M. E. church, has received a call to Lansing, Mich, to assume the pastorate of the largest church in that city. The offer is very flattering one, and for a time he was anxious to &C., cept it.
 MT. Hiler has been pastor of the Ep- worth church for one year, but during that time his preaching and learning have attracted the attention of g. num- Der of churches in different parts of the country.
 Last Sunday members of Epworth, fearing that their pastor would be as- signed to another church. decided to send committee to South Norwalk, where the New York East conference is now on, to make an effort to have him returned to this city again. The conn mittee consisted of Attorney A. T. Bierkan, w. B. Hall, W. A. Lutz, F. A. Johnson, Charles Van Dyke and Isaac Cobart.
 The committee went to South Nor walk Sunday afternoon and had an in- terview with the presiding elder. The result is that Rev. MT. Hiler will prob ably remain as pastor of Epworth for another year. He is greatly pleased by the unanimity of sentiment among the members of his congregation for his re- tention, and is now anxious to remain here, although he Will sacrifice a great deal In doing so.

AND STILL THEY COME.
Crowds Flock to the Shoe Store of Cos
 grove. 45 Church Street.

Crowds Flock to the Shoe Store of Cos grove. 45 Church Street. The peacock who looked at his feet and then dropped his feathers evidently did not have on any of Mir. Cosgrove's shoes, for if he had he would have be- come even more proud than formerly. There is nothing which so deteriorates from the appearance of an otherwise well dressed person than poor shoes. The shoes themselves may be of a good quality. but unless they are well fitted and possess an up-to-date appearance the effect is spoiled.
 At Mir. Cosgrove's store shoes of all kinds and descriptions, at the very low est possible prices, combining all these virtues, can be found. His styles are the smartest in New Haven for men and women, and can be purchased for $3.50 and $4. His charge for the latest style of Oxfords is s3.50. For ladies the finest kid and guaranteed patent colt skin special value shoes are sold for $2, S2.50 and $S; Oxfords $1.50, g and $2.50. For men several choice styles have just arrived. Calf, kid and guaranteed pa tent colt skin shoes can be had for s2.50, s and $S.50; Oxfords s2, $2.50 and SS. Here also can be found great values in children's Easter shoes and 0xfords, ranging in prices from $1 to $2.
 Shoes bought at Cosgrove's are com fortable because they fit the feet, are neat because they are the latest styles, and are cheap because they are the best quality. You cannot do better than to make your Easter selections at this popular store.
