DRUG CLERK STOLE
 FROM CASH REGISTER Medicine Shop Employe Ar rested for Helping
 Himself.
HAD TWO METHODS.
Explains How He Secured the Money Without Re
 cording Sales.

For helping himself to part of tha receipts at Gillespie's drug store. known as the Medicine shop, at 74A Chapel street. John H. Beattie, of IA Chestnut street, was arrested yester- day afternoon by Detective Ward and Officer McAvoy.
 Beattie, who is but is or 17 years old, was employed as drug clerk. sus- picion had fallen upon him through the fact that the cash register in the store when counted at times through the day frequently showed larger re- ceipts than were recorded, showing that all the receipts had not been rung up. Detective Ward was assigned to investigate the matter.
 Beattie was caught yesterday by the aid of marked money. A purchaser was sent into the store in the nlorn- ing for a $l.25 purchase. Beattie rang up 25 cents and helped himself to the $1. When searched the marked bill was found on him and he was arrest- ed.
 Beattie confessed to number of peculations from the cash register and explained some of his methods, He said that he generally put the money he received into the cash register all right, but rang up less than was re- ceived. This would put the cash in the register ahead of the recorded sales. At the same time if anyone was watch- ing him they would not see him talk ing any money. Later, when alone, he would take out the surplus and pocket it.
 He also told of another method of deceiving his firm. When waiting on two customers at once he sometimes placed theflrst receipts under the ledger of the register, then when he re- ceived the second, opened it, put one in, and pocketed the other.
 Beattie will be charged with three counts of theft in court this morning.

BOYS TO CAMP AT TUXIS THIS YEAR LAST TIME Directors Want Island Sold and New Workers
 Will Buy.

Preparations are being made at the Y. M. c. A. for the Tuxis island canip- ing trips for the coming summer. The first camp will open Friday, June 2S. when the Yale hall boys start for a weeks fun. They will stay there a week, have fine fourth of July cele- bration, and return to New Haven July 5.
 On that date the Y. M c. A. boys will leave for two weeks trip stay. This is the principal camp of the sum- mer There will be 50 boys in camp, with a competent force of camp lead CTS who will look out for the general welfare of the campers.
 Visitors day will be Saturday, July 13, when the parents and friends of the boys will be treated to an athletic exhibition which will make the Olym- pic games turn pale and pass away. There will be races of all kinds, jump ing, hammer throwing and shot put ting. Dinner will be served to the friends of the boys in the boys din- ing room of the island cottage. In the afternoon there will be aquatis events, swimming, diving and boat race. On the following Sunday the Y M c. A. boys will return home and the E. B. Foote Boys club will go into camp for a week.
 Nearly every night of the camp there is camn fire which all the boys at- tend, Popular songs are sung and everyone tells story The evening ends with a religious service. Athletic meets and baseball games are arranged with the Young Mems Improvement association of Madison and are held on the large Madison 1 green. In past years a loving cup has Ifbeen awarded the winning team and the practice will probably be followed this year.
 The camp this year will be the ninth annual, and probably the last ever held by the local association at Tuxs The directors of the Y. M. C. A. think it advisable to dispose of the island as well as of the Morris Cove prop erty and to confine all the interests oi the association to the Temple street building, Several New York parties have Tuxis in view, but the transfer i will probably not be made this sum- mer.

NO NOPE PRINTING
OF NEWSPAPER NAMES
Will be Done on Envelopes by the U. s. Government
 Printery.

The fiat has gone forth from the post office department in Washington that the government will discontinue it's for mer practice of printing envelopes with the names of newspapers on them for use of the paper. Heretofore 1t has been customary for the government to do the printing of envelopes with the name of the paper on it. About six months ago this was ordered discontin- ued by the postal authorities at Wash ington. No reason was given for the change.
 Postmaster Howarth when asked in regard to the change said he did not know there had been any. Upon in- quiry he found that instructions had been received not to do any more print ing of envelopes for the newspapers. In the case of business houses he said nothing indicative of the business of the house was printed on envelopes un- less the firms were incorporated

New Haven Theater.

A comic opera without good chorus is like ship without sail, and no matter how good the principals may be if the chorus drags, it is to- use Frank D. Nelson's own words, Good Morn ing, Carrie with the whole show. The Black Hussar' is full-rgged ship It's chorus numbers twenty, it's cast ten and it's own orchestra twenty. The chorus is the product of ten weeks un- der the able coaching of Frank D. Nelson, who directed the production of the "Geisha" last week.
 The old adage, "sit up and take notice" will apply to the attitude of New Haven people when they see their local talent present as difficult and |pretentious an opera as this.

New Hnven's Favoritc Millinery Es-
 tablishment.

There is a cause for every effect and for every effect cause" It is interesting and edifying to listen to a group of ladies while each one . z whom is giving her reasons why she is a ire quenter and patron of Muhlfelder's. One says. You can see there by far the largest and most complete line of millinery" Another adds: "Yes, and what you do see is well worth view ingp A third remarks: "When I gaze at the lovely creations which are exact duplicates of the latest styles in Paris and London, it seems as if were in a Parisian emporium And still another says Well, I have been the rounds but l must say can find just what want at Muhlfelder's and get it at an extremely moderate price
 Then one little woman remarks: What pleases me as much as anything Is the courtesy and geniality of the salesladies; they are so polite and pa tient they all are determined to please their patrons, and take the utmost care to do it. And they always invariably succeed. When they don't is not their fault--they try hard enough. See ad- vertisement.
