TO SAVE SOUTH MIDDLE"
Committee Organized to Preserve m

Committee Organized to Preserve This j. Great Yale Landmark. # A committee has been organized in New Haven for the purpose of directing all work in regard to the preservation of South Middle, as far as 1t centers in this city. It will also cooperate with individuals and associations elsewhere that may be interested.
 In regard to South Middle the follow ing communication appears in tho Alumni Weekly:
 "Il connection with the question of the destruction of South Middle 1t seems to me interesting to recall the follow ing:
 'tIn March, 1702, the first student, Jacob Hemingway, of New Haven, of fered himself and became, with the rec: tor. the entire school. He died in. 1754.
 At the first commencement in 1702. Natha1iel Chauncey received a degree He died in 1756.
 Ut appears. therefore. that the first student and the first graduate were still living when South Middle was built and in this way the beginnings of the college are connected with the present day For more than 150 years every student in. Yale has locked upon this building, and I am sure that it's destruction would bring deep regret to most of the living graduates.

Never Before Equalled-The Rush for
 Ben Hur Seats.
 MT. Bunnell is much encouraged over the success attending the sale of seats for Ben Hur. It was q stupendous un- dertaking,-the bringing of Ben Hur here for weeks stay, and the advance preparation in getting everything ready for the presentation of this great pro- duction-great mechanical and other effects-and the taking down of the same after the show is over, will cost as much as the erection of a nice sea shore residence. But all signs now point to a big success. The line up of buyers of seats for Ben Hur at the Fly perion box office. which began at nine o'clock Thursday morning, was unbrok- en up ali four o'clock yesterday after noon, excepting during the time for sleep. The line was unbroken Thurs day night at the close of the Ben Hur performance, and after waiting some time after that the doors had to be closed and the sale shut off until morn ing. This is exclusive of the sale by mail and telephone orders from out of town, and the people who are to come by the excursion trains. The advance sale for Ben Hur has been the biggest advance sale ever known in the histo- ry of New Haven theatricals.

 Day.
 The Good Book says, "A good under standing is better than riches" All who avail themselves of the opportuni- ty to buy a pair of shoes which will not only feel comfortable, but also look stylish and wear remarkably we'll, will never forget the store where they bought them nor the reasonably low price which they paid for them. At the Hirsh Stores to-day exceptionally rare inducements are offered in the line of footwear, and If real worth is fully ap- preciated there should not be standing room in their shoe department" For Mir. Hirsh announces what he will do to-day, and past experience amply war rants all in implicitly believing just what he says. His words are not idle; they are always backed up with deeds, and the public always knows that when he invites them to call there is some thing well worth seeing and buying.
