Dr. Perrin, the Palmist, Has Had Great
 Men on His List.
 Dr. Carl Louis Perrin, the palmist and psychic, who is located at Warner hall during his stay in this city, has estab- lished a remarkable reputation for his knowledge of his specialties. Although an Austrian by birth, Dr. Perrin has be- come citizen of this country by adop- tion, and in his life here he has attain- ed to many high honors. Among the testimonials to Dr. Perins knowledge of the hand is the significant fact that he has charge of the work of designing all the palmistry pictures and pictures where a knowledge of palmistry is re- quired which appear in such periodicals as Judge and Puck.
 Dr. Perrin Is a great believer in the idea of the psychological fitness of sur- roundings. His apartments at Warner hall are "a thing of beauty" The walls are all concealed by Oriental rugs. The appointments are harmonious and tasteful.
 Many of the most noted leaders of Europe have had readings of their palms by Dr. Perrin. Leo XIII, the late pope of the Roman Catholic church; Francis Joseph, emperor of Austria: King Edward of England, Czar Nicho- las and the kaiser of Germany are on Dr. Perin's list.

THE CURSE OF DRINK.

The attraction at the New Haven Theatre Thursday, Friday and Satur- day nights this week, and at the Sat- urday matinee, will be an unusual one. It is none other than Charles K. Bla- ney's magnificent spectacular produc- ton of his latest and most successful melodrama, "The Curse of Drink This play has attracted an unusual amount of attention by reason of the strength of its theme as well as the gorgeousness of its production. It combines many thrilling and sensation al scenes and situations, and a tender heart interest, which is unusual in a drama of this kind. There have been railroad plays before and there have been temperance plays, but it can be trutbfully said that never before has there been such a thrilling railroad story or such a strong and vivid tenn perance lesson as it presented in "The Curse of Drink" Theplay is one that

New Haven Thenter.

There was crowded house at the New Haven Theatre last night when Big Hearted Jim' was again pro- duced.
 George Klimpt again carried off the house by his splendid impersonation of the Montana sheriff. Big Hearted Jim is not by any means one-part play, as many attractions are in which actor-managers appear. It has a big cast and is full of distinct, interesting and true western American characters. It is a romance, full of humor, pathos and spirit.
 The performance will be repeated to- day, matinee and night.

THE PUBLIC LECTURE COURSE.
Leland T. Powers at College Street Hall

 To-Night.
 Leland T. Powers, the we'll known monologist and impersonator. will ap- pear in College street hall in the pub lie lecture course at D. m. this even- ing, in the dramatic recital of Robert sons play of David Garrick.' MT. Powers has long been recognized as a standard by which all similar work is judged, and the highest compliment that can be paved any other artist is to place him in the same class with Leland Powers. Mir. Powers has always been noted for his modesty, coolness and great dramatic power. There is a simplicity about his impersonations which is as charming as 1t is unusual MT Powers presented this same play of David Garrick to the immense au- dience of Chautauqua, and was so sue cessful in his impersonation that Bishop Vincent himself the father of the Chautauqua, led the applause from the platform.
 In the "Lyceumite," magazine of the Lyceum, there recently appeared this comment on Leland Powers "Le- land Powers is a a,platformist who Is not content to rest upon well earned rep utation, and will never be put in the 'has-been class. A Powers monologue Is lesson for the congressional worker. He recites his plays from memory and pleases his audience without sacrifice ing a particle of art. Years of study and experience have n1elloWed and sub dued Mr. Powers's art until without ap- parent effort he presents play with all it's acting detail and with each eharac- . terization rounded out true and har- monious."
 MT. Powers from the first has been a great favorite with the New Haven public, and the increasing audiences which greet his appearance year after year attest his growing popularity and his many friends enjoy one of his re- citals equally as they enjoy a standard play at the theater

$1,OOG DAMAGE.

Fire was discovered by John Gallo about 1880 o'clock last night on the oys- ter boat Amanda, which was lying at Stevens dock. A still alarm was sent in to the engine house on East Pearl street and the chemical responded. The Enterprise, another oyster boat, was fastened to the Amanda, but the blaze was confined to the latter. The damage will reach $1,000.
 It is thought the fire was the result of an overloaded boiler The woodwork in the engine room and the cabin were badly burned.
 The Amanda was an old boat, but had recently been rebuilt by her owners, the Lancraft Brothers. The watchman, Michael Brandt, was away on an er- rand when the fire was discovered.

OPERATIC BARITONE.
CAMPANARI TO SING IN WOOL
 SEY HALL, FEBRUARY 1ST.

Second of Series of Artists Concerts Arranged by University Department of Music--Given Under Same Con- ditions as in COnservatOries of Con-
 tinentaI Europe.
 Another concert in the artists con- cert series has been arranged by the university department of music. this will take place on Thursday evening, February 1, when the operatic baritone, Campanari, will give a song recital in Woolsey hall. These concerts, which are given under the direction or man agement of the New Haven Symphony orchestra, are fashioned after those given in the great conservatories of continental Europe and here as over there, they belong to the regular school curriculum of Yale's department of music. Here, as in the continental con- servatory towns, the public shares the privilege with the music students of hearing the greatest artists in the world for a nominal sum.
 Campanari is perhaps to-day the most artistic and most popular bari tone of the Metropolitan opera com- pany. He alone of all the big stars has the distinction of having been en- gagged there for twelve consecutive sea- sons.
 His programme on February will include a fascinating list of German liedes and French, Italian and English songs.
 The prices of seats have been fixed at the lowest possible figures as the financial end in view is simply to cover the expense of giving the concerts. All seats will be reserved and they will cost to begin with, soc, 75c and $1. But from any of these three prices 25c will be reduced If the purchaser is a sub- scriber to the symphony concerts or to- ithe University Extension lectures. This will make it possible to get seat in advance for the Companari recital for as little as 25 cents.
 1 In this land of high prices where art l4s in question such concerts are in deed educational factors in a comnlu- nity.

MRS. IEF'FINGWELLS BOOIS
 TONIGHT.
 Charles Frohman will present the latest Augustus Thomas play, Mrs Leffingwells Boots" at this theatre on the 24th instant for an engagement of one night only, with the fine cast that was seen in New York city during the long run of the piece at the Lyceum and Savoy theatres in that city.
 Mir. Thomas new work is a comedy in three acts, and in it he is said 10 have followed the humorous vein he worked so cleverly in his remarkably popular comedies, "The Earl of Paw tucket" and "The Other Girl The success of those two plays by no means exhausted the authors wit and the re- membrance of the brilliant invention and character drawing which commen- ded them so strongly, naturally raises great expectations concerning his com ing new piece. "The Other Girl' in particular was the striking comedy success of the last theatrical season and ran for months at three different New York theatres.
 In Mrs. Lefflngwell's Boots" MT Thomas is credited with being quite as happy fin the creation of characters of local interest and devising a delight ful love story and the necessary do- mestic and other complications, so much so that Mrs. Deffingwell's" au- dences are insured an evenings thor ough enjoyment.
 MT. Frohman has placed this new comedy upon the stage in his prover- bial lavish manner and given 1t a cast of such strength and importance that prominent players are found In even comparatively small parts. Seats on sale.
