After her marriage in 1857 her husband bought the old Skinner school property in Hillhouse avenue, where, as wife and widow, Mrs. Boardman lived, lWith occasional absences during trips abroad chiefly, for nearly fifty years Her sister, Mrs Mary P, Wade, who is ninety years old and in feeble health, has made her home with her for many years.

firmed an arrangement with his wife of settling upon her sum of money in lieu of dover In addition to that Mrs. Boardman was given the life use. of the mansion house at 46 5Hillhouse avenue. and trust fund of $2O0 GOO was created for the support of Mrs. Boardman. The settlement made prior to his death and confirmed in his will was for many thousands of dollars, and it was this fund that Mrs. Boardman had been de- voting very largely to acts of philan- thropy and charity. With the death of Mrs. Boardman the Hillhouse mansion, according to the de- vises of the will of MT. Boardman, goes to his sister, Cornelia E, Boardman, of New Milford, or her heirs. The trust fund created for Mrs. Lucy H. Board man has increased until at the present time 1t amounts to about $350 000 This fund now reverts, according to the pro- visions of MT, Boardman's will, in equal third parts, to Cornelia E. Boardman or her heirs, to William J. Boardman, of Washington, D, C., and to the heirs of
 
 Ohio, both nephews of MT Boardman, and to the four children of MT. Board mans sister, Caroline s. Schroeder. They are John F. and Henry F. Schroe- der, of New York; Cornelia E. Wright, of New York, and Elizabeth w. Tyler, of Plainfield, N. J. The share which Henry W, Boardman would have re- ceived goes to his only daughter, Caro- line Boardman Mosle, wife of A Henry Mosle, a prominent Yale man of the class of 'S9.
 The funeral of Mrs Boardman will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2:3( o'clock. Rev. MT. scoville, of Trinity P E. church, of which she was one o1 the oldest members and of which her husband was for years one of the war; dens, will conduct the services.

of Wallingford, this state. Trurhand Kirtland, her grandfather on the ma ternal side, went to Ohio in 1799 as the representative of the Connecticut Land company. He, with his family, settled in Poland, two and one-half miles from BoarGman, Ohio, where Elijah Board man, of Camden, N. J., the father of William w. Boardman, had large land interests. Henry Boardman younger brother of William w., had settled in Boardman. It was w. w. Boardman's s custom to make yearly visits to Ohio to look out, as his fathers agent, for his interests there, and there MT. Board- man met Miss Hall and they were mar ried in Cleveland. After their marriage they made a tour of Europe and then came to New Haven, where they made their home.
 The Boardman Manual Training school was given by Mrs. Boardman as a memorial to her husband in 1894. The original building cost $7OOOO. Some years later an addition to the building was donated by her, and this cost about $13O0O. Manual training in the public schools had always been one of her pet projects, and before she had made the gift of the school to the city she had l given $10,00O, the interest of which was devoted to teaching manual work in the public schools. This money was used partly to defray the expenses of main- 1 taining the manual training school, which was kept in the old building in l Union street.
 To Christ church Mrs. Boardman con- tributed largely to the original building l fund of the church, and later built the l tower and donated the parish house. l St. Margaret's school in Waterbury re- ceived $25,000. She had made large 1 gifts to Trinity church at various times, and, with her sister, Mrs Wade, she gave recently the old Edwards house on Elm street to be used by the church as a parish house.
 The building of St. Luke's Episcopal church on Whalley avenue was made possible by her gifts, and a medal rais- ed to her memory there testifies to the gratitude of the parish. The last dona- l ton made by Mrs, Boardman was the pledging of $25,OOO for the building oi
 the new Christ Episcopal church ir West Haven, provided like amount
 was obtained by the parishioners. It k 1 understood that the amount has beer 1 obtained and that the building will soor be started

THEATRICAL NOTES.
BEN-HUR
Again TO be stnged at the Chicago
Auditorium.

Conspicuous among tne many splen-
did offerings that will mark the cur
rent theatrical season in Chicago will
be another production Of Gen. Lew.
Wauace's stirring reiigio historic ro-
nance. "Ben-Hur," which has hereto
fore been so brilliantly and spectacu-
larry staged IN the western metropolis
Two seasons ago when the idea Of pre-
seuting this play at the big Auditorium
was conceived. the Klaw & Granger
company imported from London the
production used at the Drury Lane the
atre. This equipment was the most
massive and costly, as wei as the most
beautiful, that had ever been construct
ed for the setting OF Gen. Wallace's
drama. for it marked the advent Of its
producers in the English metropolis.
and as a matter OF managerial pride
they were anxious that the production
should impress. even if the play did not
from a dramatic standpoint 1t Is now
on record that not only did ''Ben-Hur
score as a drama. but the production
eclipsed everything that had thereto
fore been seen on the Drury Lane stage,
which has for more than a hundred
years been noted for the greatest spec
tacles Of Great Britain.
When this production was being ad-
justed to the Chicago Auditorium stage,
many opportunities for betterment
and elaboration We're discernable for
no stage IN the world presents as great
opportunity for massive and magni-
ficent stage settings as this temple Of
amusement. Thereupon Klaw & Fri
anger decided 10 build a production
adapted to every opportunity permitted
by this vast stage. For several months
past a stan Of artisans have been en-
gagged in constructing this wondrous
spectacle, which it is claimed will over
shadow everything that has gone be-
fore, and which is Of such colossal
proportions that Il cannot be used on
any other stage in the world in It's en-
tirety. The first unfolding of this new
and greater Ben -Hur," will take place
at the Chicago Auditorium on Monday
evening. October 10Th. when limited
engagement Will be inaugurated. Dur
ing the run no Sunday performances
will be given. but matinees are SEIZED
uled for Wednesday and Saturday OF
each week. Novelty seldom If ever ac-
eruer from constant repetition OF any
drama except those of Shakespeare, but
this instructive spectacle Of dramatic
and pictorial beauty seems to contain
that virtue.

BRUTAL NEGRO dashed

Wilmington, Del, Sept. 24.-Before

Imprisonment and TO receive thirty
lashes for committing an atrocious as

Conley walked TO the whipping post
and stood without a tremor as his
wrists were fastened into the iron
bracelets. Warden Meserve took his
position and administered the punish
ment. The heavy whip with its nine
leather throngS fell across the culprit's
bare back with a force that raised a
large welt. This was repeated thirty
times. an assistant warden monoton-
ously keeping audible count. Conley
never uttered sound until the six
teenth stroke. when an agonized "Oh"
was forced from his lips. and was re-
peated until the last blow fell

THE TRUE ROAD TO SUCCESS
People Who Work for Money Get
Nothing Else.

The man who writes solely for
money gets nothing else. Game is not
for him BY the law of compensation
we get that for which we work or get
nothing If We work for money, and
get anything. We get money and only
money. The writer whose work en-
dures writes for expression. writes
because he cannot help II, writes with
no object in view save to express a
thought that he cannot suppress. And
so it is with every kind of work.
The best that is in US will not re-
spond TO the cali for mere money. If
you would succeed you must work be
cause you like to work-you must get
in some position where your daily
work is your very life, and the COM
pensation is a matter of course, If
you can find that kind of position
your salary viii take care of itself,
and in it you cannot fail, however lit
tie you may seem TO accomplish.
Many successful bushes men die
quickly when they retire. Their life
work is so inseparable from their lives
that TO sever the ties means dissolu-
ton and death. That's the secret of
their success. Work was life to them.
The best literature of the world, the
classics of all languages, the things
that will endure through all time and
will thrill generations yet unborn,
brought the smallest compensation in
money.
