New Hnyen Thentre.

Coming Thro' the Rye" will be the attraction at the New Haven theatsr tomorrow, matinee and night. 4 Bos- ton exchange says of this productions: Coming Thro' the Rye" has made a hit of large proportions at the Tre- mont. It is one of the most satisfac- tory entertainments ever brought for, ward in this city. It projects no stacs yet there are half dozen individuals in the cast who might justly be singled out for stellar honors. And then their position might quite properly be con- tested by the remarkable chorus, as a whole, for this feature of the perform ance is a distinct delight to all of the sexes. From the opening number to the final fall of the curtain there is all ways something going on to interest and please the spectators, and to the excellence of the company and the per- lection of the ensemble is this due in large part. The lines and situations and music give the comedians and vo- calists the opportunities, and these clever people attack their work in a fashion which spells slccess with a big $. It is very long time since such an emphatic individual hit has been achieved in Boston as that which must be placed to the credit of Frank Ealor in this musical comedy. His perform ance in Not, the Taller a distinctly unique character, is simply uproarious- | ly funny, and he sings two songs, Tt Must be Love" and Clancy" which literally throw the audiences into spasms of laughter And Stella May hew, too, scores heavily. She plays Q
 Mrs. Malaprop type of character in a manner which could not well be inn proved upon, and her specialties, con- l sisting of "coon" songs and limitations
 are rich in delightfully."- entertaining qualities. Frank Doane, John Park 1 William Riley Hatch, Alma Youlin llBesse Gibson and others in this excel Ilent organization are almost equally effective in their contributions to thi' unusually bright performance. "Com ing Thro the Rye" remains but tw'
 weeks longer,
 This production has been selected b.
 the big theatrical syndicate to go t
 London, England, and open there ol
 May 27. It was originally intended t
 make the engagement here three days
 but on account of so many other place
 wanting it it was found to be impos
 sible to give more than two perform
 ances here, matinee and night to-mor trow. The advance sale of seats is nov
 open. For prices see advertisement.

SLOT METER
Caused Death of Andrew Lennox.

Caused Death of Andrew Lennox.
 Andrew Lennox of t201 Winthrop ave- nue was found dead in bed yesterday morninghaving been accidentally killed during the night by gas escaping from quarter meter. He retired as usual and when he did not rise at the usual time yesterday morning his wife went to his room and found him dead in bed. There was a strong odor of gas in the room, and upon examination it was found that the gas was turned on, but the flow from the service pipe had been so feeble that the flame went out during the night, allowing the remain der of the gas from the quarter meter to escape into the room.
 Medical Examiner Bartlett investi- gated the case yesterday and found that the meter had not been replenish- ed with a quarter since last Friday. In consequence, when MT, Lennox lighted the jet upon retiring there was a very small supply of gas to pass | through the meter. He said that the flame undoubtedly was extinguished during the night by the weak supply and then the remainder of the gas esca0ed into the room.
 Lennox, who was about fifty-five years of age was a baker. He leaves widow and several children.

HOW WAS CHARLEMAGNE
 BURIED?
Another Demolished Mvth.

The removal of embroideries associ- ated with Charlemagne for scientific examination at Berlin recalls a very odd old story. Every book treating on the death of the great king, unless it be quite new or a late edition, describes the opening of his tomb in 1000, A. D. by Emperor Otho III. And a pleasant narrative it is--full of picturesque touches, with that subtone of mystery which appeals to the imagination of the reader Very few think of ask ing what the authority for this de- tailed account of tomb breaking nine centuries ago, but if any unbelieving souls inquire, evidence beyond ques- ton, or almost, is forthcoming.
 Count Otho of Lonello, captain of the guard to Otho, the Emperor, attended him on the memorable quest, and few weeks later gave a full report of the proceedings to the monk known as the Chronicler of Novalese, who wrote i down forthwith. His MS. or copy survives. What better authority could be asked for an event occurring in 1000 A. D.? Every one knows how the ex- plorers found Charlemagne seated or a marble throne, with flesh uncorrupt- ed, except the tip of his nose-which Otho replaced with a careful fac-simile of gold-crowned with a diadem ant girt with the sword now in Vienna. | l is not worth while to dwell on these details, fascinating as they are. Bu the captain of the guard gives a cir cumstantial report of the prelimi
 naries. Masons broke through al "aleove' near the altar-the imperia party descended "steps" and entered vault" where sat the king. Wher all was done-and a gold tip duly fitted on the royal nose-masons made goot 1 the damage. But it is as certain a human things can be that no "alcoye' in the chancel has been broker through, and alterations since 1000 A D. would not have destroyed the evi
 dence, Moreover, there is no sucf vault as that described-no vault at al linear the altar This is not matter for agreement or explanation. Posi-
 tive facts show that the Chronicler O i,Novalese, or his informant, probably both, deliberately spoke the thing tha
 was not. lAll the pictures of the gian

Hyperion Theater.

How'd You Like to Spoon With Me?" T Would Like to Marry You" Little Lady in Distress" Shopping" and Mediterranean Blue" are among the pronounced song hits of "The Earl and the GirP' production, which will be the offering at the Hyperion tonight The piece is replete with catchy music and songs. The popularity of the above mentioned numbers is evidenced by the enormous sale. How'd You Like to Spoon With Me?" is the number used as an. accompaniment to the Swinging Chorus, which has been so much talked of during the run of the piece at the Casino theater, New York. It is the style of show that sends people away in a whistling humor. There is hardly any doubt that the engagement will be successful one.

yIDDTSH pT.Ay

Tomorrow nights performance at the Hyperion theater by the Mime. Ken ny Lipzin company of Yiddlsh actors will mark 8 distinct epoch in the his tory of the Jewish drama in this coun- try. For the first time they will have a complete scenic production built es- pecially for the play. Up to this time they have always played with the reg ular house scenery, but relying rather upon the ability of the artists than up- on their environment. Aside from this innovation great interest attaches to this performance on account of it's be- ing the first performance on any stage of a new play by Jacob Gordin, who is rightly called the 'Yiddish Shake speare,"
 The scene of the play is laid in the Catskills and introduces many charac- ters which, although familiar to those who have been in that region, are ab- solutely new to the stage,

FANTANA.

The Hyperion offers real musical novelty in "Fantana," which is booked for next Thursday and Friday, as in New York city, where the Japanese American musical comedy ran for a period of $50 nights.
 Twenty-Five sets of costumes are used in "Fantana." The costumes are prob ably the most elaborate of any musical comedy on the stage this season. They are all not only of the finest texture, but of handsome design. The Japanese costumes in the second act are in black, gold and white, and harmonize with the scenery in these colors. "Fantana" is as beautifully a costumed show as there is on the stage to-day. |
 There are large number of song hits in ''Fantana," the. most prominent being Just My Style" Darby, and Joan," That's Art" The Girl at the Helm," My Word" and Laughing Little Almond Eyes,
 The cast contains many well-known people, and the. chorus is composed of a large number of pretty girls who can sing and dance.
