New Haven Visitors Report Pleasant Trip.
 Mrs. Alexander M. Drummond and Mrs. Rosabelle Frushour Lines have returned from their trip to Patchogue, L. l., where they went to present Tennyson's melodrama
 Enoch Arden They are much pleased with the reception accorded them by their audience. The editorial columns of the Patchogue Advance contains the following:
 'The reading of 'Enoch Arden with the musical setting by Strauss, given in the Methodist church Wednesday night, was one of the finest of the kind ever given in
 Patchogue. The pathetic story was charm ingly read by Mrs. Alexander M Drum mond, of New Haven, Conn. Mrs. Drum mond is the wife of Professor A. M. Drum mond, former principal of the Patchogue schools, The musical accompaniment was played by Mrs. Rosabelle Frushour Lines, of New Haven, who charmed the audience by her graceful interpretations. In an extended article in the Advance by
 pr w. 10. Gordon, superintendent of the
 Patch0gue schools, among other favoring
 comments he says: 'As one who listened to
 the interpretation of 'Enoch Arden by Mrs Alexander NJ. Drummond and Mrs. Rosabelle FrushOur Lines, l would like to say a word of appreciation. Life is made permanently
 richer by whatever of the beautiful and good it absorbs and holds. The world long ago recognized poetry to be at once the em. bodiment and the expression of the souls highest aspirations, and classed music as the essence of poetry.
 "We gladly play homage to any one who can adequately interpret to us the works of
 great poet or musician-to any one who | can reveal the soul of Hamlet or Lear or who can make us realize the heights and
 breadths and depths of Wagner and Beetho-
 ven-and we do this because we come away with better and truer views of life; we have gained clearer insight into the solution of life's intricate problem. It Is in this sense
 that l felt that Mrs. Drummond and Mrs.
 Lines had done personal service in placing before me such a be autiful rendering of
 'Enoch Arden Over and over again Long fellows lines kept recurring to me as the best criticism that could be made upon the entertainment,
 Then read from the treasured volume The poem of tiny choice,
 And lend to the rhyme of the poet The beauty of thy voice;
 And the night shall be filled with music, And the cares that infest the day Shall fold their tents like the Arabs, And as silently steal away"

 Man on TrIRI-Ofher Gases.
 By an order passed by Judge Elmer at the short calendar session of the su- perior court yesterday the receivership of the Driggs-Seabury Gun and Ammu- milton company of Derby passes from Connecticut entirely, and is now a mat ter for the New Jersey courts to settle. Judg Crous is the New Jersey receiver, and Attorney W. L. Bennett of this city has been acting in that capacity for Connecticut. MT. Bennett asked for the removal of affairs from Connecticut for reasons of economy and convenience.
 He reported that only 5000 of the s1.- 1l7,0O0 in claims against the concern were in Connecticut courts, and the change was agreeable to the creditors whom he had personally seen. Attorney Bristol, acting for former Secretary Grosvenor of the company, said he cli- ent's claim was s90O.000, and he had no protest to make to the proposed change.
 MT. Bennett told the court that div tdend would probably be declared in June. He did not speculate on the size of it. The receiver said that MT. Gros- venor had purchased the property for $15O,000, and of this he had paid in s100,- 900. No claim has been made for ser- vices by the receiver.
