Improved Steinertone
 Piano Z

The citizens of New Haven and of the State of Connecticut are cordially invit- led to inspect the latest, improved Stein ertone piano which is now offered for sale or rent at the factory of the Stein 'ertone, Co, 106 Park Street.
 The Steinertone pianos are used all most exclusively by the highest musi- cal authorities of New Haven and the United States. The Steinertone repre- sents a great advancement in the art of piano building. The advantage of the Steinertone over other pianos lies in the purity of it's tone characteris- tics, it's unlimited hammer repetition and it's delightful feeling of touch
 The idea of choosing the fa,G0ry as the ,.siano wareroom is simply for the reason of saving expense of store rent and clerical employment and, further more, to give this superior make the proper representation. These pianos, both Grand and Upright, are offered Ut factory prices and on reasonable terms, 5elyhcr cash or time payments.
 Piano purchasers will find 1t to their advantage to inspect the STEINER TONE PIANO so as to judge by conn pacison with other good pianos which IS the roper instrument to choose. \ Remember

New Haven Theater.

B. c. Whitney's successful musical extravaganza The Show Girl made quite a decided hit at the New Haven theater last night when the company opened three nights and Saturday matinee engagement. The house was a large one. and the audience was very enthusiastic and most generous in its bestowal of approval on the various artists in their successful efforts to please and amuse. The, story Is light, bright and has loads of fun running all through it. The chorus is excel lent and is made up of a score of bright and pretty girls who are well schooled in their various parts. The scenery is artistic and pleasing, the music lively and the various dances are clever and smartly executed, while the songs are popular and catchy. The story deals with the stranding of theatrical com pany in Greece. The manager, Diony- sius Fly, gets into a peck of peckalties from which he finally extricates him. self and fellow players through the agency of magic wish cap, which comes into his possession. There are many embarrassing and funny predic- aments which keep the audience in the best of humor and Hilda Thomas, the clever and winsome comedienne, heads the bill.

Have you any knowledge of its being done?- John R. Knox. (These birds are un- doubtedly valuable, since they fly at the time when mosquitoes are abroad, and are known to devour considerable num- bers. The late Professor Harvey re- cords finding six hundred mosquitoes in the crop of a night-hawk, and Profess sor TheobaId, the noted English author ity on mosquitoes, includes night hawks, swallows martins and fly catchers among birds, especially valua- ble because they prey on mosquitoes. Unfortunately, so far as depending on birds is concerned, mosquitoes are so enormously abundant that we doubt whether the aid birds give really amounts to very much; yet we would by all means advocate their protection and encouragement. It is further doubtful whether it would be advisable to introduce the European house mar tin, since 1t has practically the same habits as our native swallows. Yari-l .ous species of the latter are abundant in localities favorable for their exist ence, and it is difficult to see how the introduction of another very similar form would have material effect in. checking mosquitoes, because our na- tive species undoubtedly feed to a con- siderable extent on these pests The total number of individual birds having these habits, rather than the number of species, would be the determining fac-I tor, and the swallows and martins cam not become more abundant than their food supply will support.

 While the honor ribbons and prize medals are very attractive in them selves, their value is increased hun dred-fold by the public manner in which they are to be given and the fact that LieutenanT- Governor Woodruff will make the presentations.
