WEDDING ANNouNcEp.

Announcement was made yesterday of the marriage of Mrs. Irvinea God dard Hanly of New York and Dr.
 Thomas J. Bergin of this city. The ceremony was performed on October 18th last at St. EIizabeth's church,
 Washington Heights. N. T., by Rev.
 Father Lynch.
 After the wedding ceremony, which
 was known only to a few of the inti- mate friends who were present of the couple, Mrs. Bergin started on a trip to Texas and Dr. Bergin returned to New Haven and resumed the practice of his profession. It was the desire
 of both that the news of the marriage should not be revealed until Mrs. Ber- gin returned from her trip to the southwest, when it was planned that formal announcement of the wedding
 would be made. Mrs. Bergin returned a few days ago, and yesterday am |nouncement of the belated notice is
 published to the friends of Dr. and Mrs. Bergin.
 Dr. and Mrs. Bergin are residing tenn porarily at the Tontine hotel.
 Mrs. Bergin until year ago had her home on Orange street, and during her stay in New Haven entertained extensively. She has many friends here.

CALL ISSUED
For Adjourned Meeting of Republican
 Town Convention.

For Adjourned Meeting of Republican
 Town Convention.
 A call for the adjourned meeting of the republican town convention was is- sued yesterday by Chairman T. H. Mac donald. The convention will be held next Wednesday night, January 20 in Republican hall. Yesterday MT. Mac donald mailed to the ninety-two dele gates to the convention copies of the rules which the town committee rec ommends for adoption by the town convention. This course was taken in order that the members of the conven- ton could. carefully study the proposed rules and be thoroughly familiar with them before they vote a week hence.
 A contest is anticipated in the town convention on the two important changes. made by the committee. These refer to the method of nominating sena- tors for the four districts, and to the basis of representation for delegates to the town conventions from the vari- ous wards. The new rules provide that the four senators shall be nomi- mated by the town convention, and that the basis of representation shall be the electoral vote at presidential instead of at gubernatorial election.

THAT NEW HAVEN PETITION.

Was a Surprise for Connecticut Con- z gressman.
 Washington, Jan. 1e 7 The petition which, it was announced, has been sent by prominent New Haven citizens, Yale university professors, to seaa ter Hoar in relation to the Panama question, created considerable surprise among the members of the Connecticut delegation. Inquiry developed the fact that none of them knew anything about 1t, and they had not been consulted in relation to it in any way. It seems the petition was sent to Senator Hoar last week, but he was absent from the city and the letters were all forwarded to him at once. No one down here has as yet seen the original paper, as Senator Hoar has not returned from Massachu- setts, and probably will not for week. What he will do with in no one can state with authority, but he may pre- sent it in the senate, although he may first consult with the Connecticut sen ators.
 None of the members of the Connecti- cut delegation would say anything re- Earding this matter.

A FLOATING THEATER.
It Performs at the Towns on Three Big Rivers,

It Performs at the Towns on Three Big
 Rivers.
 Perhaps the most interesting of new
 vessels plying the Ohio, Illinois and
 Mississippi rivers is one built upon an extensive scale for use as a floating the
 ater," says Frank Mcclure in the Sci-
 entific American. s'The floating capac- ity is for thousand people, and there
 are boxes for the elite and pit for the orchestra. In addition, the vessel is sufficiently large to admit of numerous sleeping rooms for the actors, the deck hands and all those connected with either the show or the boat. The entire force numbers forty On the steamer which tows the floating theater, besides the boilers and engines, there is a con- plete electric light plant, besides kitch- en and dining room
 Tn view of the fact that the long water route of the floating theater car rieS it into the warmer portions of the south, the season for the show does not close until late in the southern winter. The entire route comprises 2,50O miles. The boat starts at Pittsburg and visits the towns of the coal miners and steel workers along the Monongahela river. Next it returns and goes down the Ohio to the Kanawha, thence to Cairo and later up the Illinois river to La Sale.
 Then, after going back to the Mississ- ippi, the boat slowly makes it's way in the direction of New Orleans. The idea of floating theater is not exactly new, but the extensive scale upon which it is being conducted and the fact that it is the drama instead of the vaudeville programme that is being presented at tract unusual attention to the boat herewith pictured. Faust is the pro- duction which has been presented this season.
 Along the route of the floating thea ter the towns are often but ten or fif- teen miles apart. Therefore the jumps of the boat and it's company are not long ones. On the upper deck of the steamer is a calliope. Long before the theater reaches the town in which it is to show the sounds of this instrument may be heard The idle population of the river towns at once begins to as- | semble on the wharf As the steamer | comes within few hundred feet of the 1 dock the calliope is silenced and brass | band strikes up a familiar air The crowd on the wharf then grows larger. Many are there awaiting the first op- | portunity to secure reserved seats. When the boat touches the wharf the | sailors, some of whom are later trans formed into actors, make the vessel fast ! and put the gangplank in place. The l scenery is arranged and the orchestra rehearses while the cook is preparing l the next meal in the kitchen. The peo- pie come aboard and select their seats,
 instead of doing so from a diagram on { shore.
 At night the theater is brilliantly lighted by electricity, and a searehlight flashes over the surrounding territory
 The entertainment lasts about three
 hours

It is a Solemn Function, We'll Adver-
 tised to the Neighbors.
 After the meal is finished the padre may go to his club or cafe, while the ladies betake themselves to the large open bay window. Lamps are placed near them, and as you wander through the streets you plainly see everywhere, at the height. of your own eyes and quite near enough for a handshake, long rows of these groups of women, now gayly and often brilliantly dressed, thickly powdered and bedecked with the quaint old jewelry of the country.
 Then, by and by, a young man ap- pears in front of almot every window and converses with those inside. Tn most casets he is the suitor for the hand of one of the daughters of the houset. Evening after evening he thus pays his respects to her family, stand ing for hours on the sidewalk, till the day arrives when the mother of his adored one believes the fact of his courting her daughter sufficiently ad- vertised to the neighbors, as well as to the community at large. Then only the doors of the house are thrown open to him.-Harper's Magazine.

THE LIONS PRICE.
Huge Sums Received by Musicians for
 Private Entertainments.

Huge Sums Received by Musicians for
 Private Entertainments
 Amazing prices are paid to the lead- ing musicians when they are induced to entertain at private houses. One or two, notably Jean de ReszlSe and Calve, refuse such engagements on any terms. A New York multi-millionaire and pa tron of music, being debarred from at tending Kubelik's first concert, paid S1, 800 for the privilege of having the young violinist play for one hour, in his own music room.
 Madame Sembrich could proffer, gra- tuitously, her voice and her time to help raise money for charity and al- most in the same breath decline a tempting offer that began with S2, 900 and increased to ''any sum she pleased to name" for wealthy mans musi- cale.
 Another soprano accepted $1,500 for an evening only on condition that her husband should be included in her host ess' arrangements and should receive $500.
 Every year Paderewski contributes to charity the entire proceeds of one re- cital when he consents to play in pri- vate at all, he never abates penny of his $2,0O0 fee.-Everybody' Magazine.

Archie Boyd, an old favorite. is at the head of sn excellent company of artists who will present Denman Thompson's successful rural drama en- titled Joshua Whitcomb'' to the pa- irons of the Hyperion tonight. Mir. Thompson has received unstinted praise from the press throughout the country for placing before the public a play so keenly alive with the striking incident, refreshing humor. and heart tugging sympathy. 'Tis so far remote from the usual clap trap so called rural dramas with their absurd situa- tions and exaggerated dialects palmed off as comedy that comparison would indeed be unjust. On the contrary his version of our Down East cousins is so refreshingly healthy and strikingly natural that it never fails to recall our childhood days of recreation at 'Un- cle's farm where philosophical humor, keen but kindly repartee and quaint scordiality were so blended as to make our sojourn a treasured. remembrance. <Ao NAii OC IOllJGClulCQ liiC olOIy Qcd1S with the fortunes and misfortunes of Joshua Whitcomb' and his bluff wholesouled associates.

Hig- gins first created for himself a warm place in our affections. His Last Dol lar'' is a comedy drama; it's story is cleverly woven with amusing scenes and incidents, and as Joe Braxton, the rich westerner, the author actor will be seen at his best. In support of MT. Higgins an excellent cast will be seen embracing, among other clever people, Miss Grace Atwell, Lillian Buckingham and Walter Horton.
