Germany is aiding and encourag-

Venezuela against the legitimate
government. The more strenuous
and vigorous and instruction the
less able is the regular government
to give attention to other demands,
and more especially is it less able
to promptly meet its financial OBJ
legations. The proposition of Ger
many is to first incapacitate the
government of Venezuela from the
performance of it's undertakings
and then to make war on her be-
cause she does not perform them.
In this effort of benevolent assimi-

BOSTON SYMPHONY CONCERT.

A Fine Performance at the Hyperion
Last Night.
Last evening New Haven audience
was favored, for the second time within
a year, with a concert given by the
Boston Symphony orchestra. An ap-
preciative gathering of fair size greet
ed this splendid organization to listen
to an especially attractive programme,
the first number of which was an over
ture, THE Oresteia," by Taneieff. This
opera, from which the overture is TAX
en-, is musical trilogy, text by A.
Weukstern, based on the "Agammem-
mon" and the "Furies" of Aeschylus.
Taneieff was pupil of Tschaikowsky,
and his writings are imbued with that
same spontaniety Of expression which
is characteristic Of Tschaikowsky. The
orchestration is unique and does not
conform to entirely studied architect
ure, but is entirely original. The or
chestra was, as usual up to its task.
as it is in every work which it pre-
sents.

N. II. Web Co.-WbiIe Looking Down
Shaft Elevator acknowledgement to
Recover.
Mrs. Goodbout, a French Canadian,
employed at the New Haven Web COM
pany. in Centerville, had a miraculous
escape from death at 1880 yesterday
morning, in that shop. 49,.
She was on the third floor Of the
building and looked down the open ele-
vator shaft to see il the elevator was
below. While in that position she was
struck by the elevator, which was de-
scending from the floor above, and her
head was pinned between the elevator
and the gate. her chin pressing against
the top. bar of the gate separating the
landing from the shaft and the elevator
resting on the back Of her head.
The elevator is so constructed that
when its weight is sustained by some
object the wire rope which runs it,
slackens and the car is locked by
means of spring which throws out a
hook or dog on either side that catches
on to a rachel. Though the elevator
moves, very slowly it runs noiselessly
and Mrs. Goodbout did not know OF
it's close proximity to her head until ii
was too late to extricate herself. Had
her head been little farther over il
would have taken her across the neck
and death would have been certain.
AS 1t was, the weight of the elevator
coming down ground her chin into the
top bar of the gate until it cut the
flesh to the bone and then her head
sustained the weight Of the car, esti-
mated at several hundred pounds, i'm.
til the safety lock fastened it, n I'D

Gated from her dangerous position and
taken to her home in Centerville. DR.

fatal result but that she had had a most
narrow escape from death.

the prison doctor, who is familiar with
the situation could certainly detect the
presence on a prisoner of more than a
couple of days supply. AS for the
statement that 800 men in Clinton pris-
on are opium fiends, it is absurd, since
there are not 800 men in that prison

Cling the drug, had been following the
practice for some time and for a long
time have been endeavoring to catch
him. He bought the opium in New
York and sent it to Dannen1ora by
mail. consigning it to Thomas O'Brien
of Cohoes. who works at the prison
barn, outside the walls. Besides Kane
and O'Brien, there was another man
named Blake in the game. Blake was
formerly convict and when he was dis
charged he left his brother in prison.
This brother collected money for the
opiuf from the conviets and sent it to
his brother in New York. who dealt
the money out to Kane to make the
purchase in this city.
THE drug was bought for about $3.50
per pound and sold to the convicts for
about $40 per pound.
Another difficulty we have is in the
fact that the stables. etc.. are outside
the prison walls. which makes it easy
for outsiders to smuggle opium to the

Following the military march Lieu

march to the strains of "Semper FL

their bright uniforms and maidens fair
in all their loneliness went gliding over
the polished floor in harmony with the
music OF the first waltz. From thence
onward until the early hours of this
