NEW MoHICAN STORES.
One of the Officers Explains the Busl
 ness Methods Followed.

The work of getting into shape the new store of the Mohican company, corner of State and Court streets. New Haven, is progressing satisfactorily. No expense Is being spared to make it the most attractive department food store in the state. Only the best ma terials are being used and when com pleted the plant, taking In the entire two buildings. will, be as clean and sanitary as human ingenuity can make it.
 An officer of the company was in town during the past few days noting the work already done. Before leav- 1 ing he expressed himself as pleased with the improvements made and the public interest shown in the enter prise.
 "The citizens of this city" said he, "are keen and appreciative. They have shown much interest in the new store. They want the hest for their money, and are as anxious to take ad- vantage of opportunities afforded them as the people of any other live Amem- can city.
 With every possible facility for ob- taining the markets best products with unlimited capital to take advan- tage of trade conditions and of con sessions for spot-cash payments, ii does not require any stretch of i'm agnation to comprehend the signif- canoe of the statement that at the Mo- hican store the people can get more for dollar than a dollar can buy else- where
 When asked if the company con. ducted bargain sales the official said
 "We have no bargain sales to offer neither do we tempt the public with cut prices. We shall make profit or everything we sell--a very small profit to be sure, but II will be a profit What would he cut prices in another store-a store that cannot buy as we buy-would be the usual prices witt us.
 "Our fixed charges for doing busi ness are reduced to the minimum, as we sell no goods except for cash, wc solicit no orders and make no dellv cries"
 When asked why the company madt no deliveries the official said
 "The delivery system alone in { large business like ours runs up to { , good many thousands of dollars an nually, while the system of keeping accounts with a growing list of charge customers Is expensive In itself anc , inevitably results in losses from un paid bills All these savlngs-anc they run into great many thousand of dolars--are taken off the sellnt , price of our goods, which, you see, | | another reason why the Mohlcan com pany gives more for a dollar than dollar can buy elsewhere
 The Mohican company has a chair of stores throughout the country ant , Is constantly increasing its operations 5 The number of people 1t. supplies | enormous and the vast outlet it ere a'es for groceries, meats fruits, dair , products and breadstuffs gives It buying power of wonderful innuenc and enables the company to supply an community with the very best food stuffs at attractive figures,
 The new store will be opened an 5 ready for business in few weeks.

The
 Wood in @ @ Pianos.

This, like so many other seemingly common place matters is decidedly interesting when we know little more about it.
 It would be assumed of course that only se lected and seasoned wood is employed in the con struction of piano, but what do you think of such seasoning and selection as this:
 One concern uses about 20 different kinds ot lumber in its pianos. Its experts pay large bonus to search lumber yards for just what they wish. They go with it to their own yards, where each plank is recorded aud dated, strips nailed to its ends to prevent checking when ii is lett to lie from five to ten years to season. It then goes to the seasoning shed for two years and thence through a series of drying kins. Then, if it will stand certain secret test it may become part of piano. Half million dollars is thus invested in lumber in process of preparation.
 Such extraordinary care as this is taken by Steinway & Sons and is one of the secrets of the unequaed durability and resonance of their piano cases
 Further interesting details of these unique instruments may be had from The M. Steinert & Sons Co.,, " Chapel Street, for long term of years Steinway representatives.

Fair Haven, July Fl.
 l notice with great regret the con- troyersy in regard to the coming nom nation for governor. If it was prom ised to Lilley, give it to him if the heavens fall, l have nothing what ever against Governor Woodruff, but think him a noble man l for one think Mir Lilley entirely fit for the governorship. an honor to the state and nation, having put to flight all chances for fraud in foolish subma- rine speculations which will never amount to anything but expense, Not long ago all newspapers were full of what the submarine boats were going to do, yet they have never done any thing but drown a few men and cost the government millions. And now not word is said about them at all, If we must lose the governorship, let 1t go, but abide by what was prom ised If you switch off now it will be lost anyhow, as many are going to stand by Lilley at all hazards.

Niemann. vogl. Campanini
(1S31-1846)

"HE greatest German tenor for
many years was Albert Niemann,
- who was blessed with a magnifi-
cent voice and fine appearance suit
able for the impersonation of Wagner's
terpreter of Wagner roles also. He was
born in 1881 at Erxleben, Magdeburg,
and went on the stage In 1849. At first
he sang only small parts, or in the
chorus, but as he improved with ex-
perience and study he attracted the at
tention Of Herr Won Hulsen, general in
tendent of the royal German theaters
who took him to Berlin. He enjoyed a
great reputation for q quarter of a
century in Germany and was selected
by Wagner to sing Siegmund at Bay
reuth in 1876. Until he came to
America, in 1886 and 1887, when his
voice had long since departed, his only
appearances out of Germany were in
the unsuccessful production of "Tann-
hauser" at Paris in 1861 and he also
sang in London in 1882. In 1887 he
formally retired from the stage. Helm
rich Vogl won distinction as an in
terpreter of Wagner holes also. He was
born in 1916 at Au, near Munich, and
was instructed in singing by Lachner
then a noted teacher, and in acting by

dering how it could interest such a

was a terrible crusher for Mapleson to
find this was his great star, but Cam
panini more than justified the reports
about his singing as soon as he made
his first appearance on the stage. On
the stage he made up as one of the
handsomest men in the world, but to
see him at morning rehearsal you
never would know who he was and
would feel inclined to say mo, thank

Words are inadequate to express the
wonderful and marvelously beautiful
playing of Madam Teresa Carreno.
Such an artistic! Such individuality OF

tone quality and probably never yet
has her pianissimo work been equale l
by any pianist, unless it may be Pad
erewski. She possesses great power,
but was handicapped in her display of
this by the shallow tone of her piano.
Madam Carreno plays with much
breadth and displayed this quality to
wonderful advantage in the Ruben

Rather an improvement, too, on
Chopin as heard some one remark
sitting near. The "Sonnetto del Pc

warmth and so much soul, and showed
what a marvellous temperament she

position.
La Campanella," the terrifcally diff

everyone would know from this that

The "Rhapsodie Hongroise" No. of
Tiszt's was her last number on the

many shifted their seats, in all parts
of the house, certainly much to the

Naturally, alter such a thing as this,
she didn't get back into the spirit of

ALLEGED THIEF
STRIKES OFFICER
MAN Is SAID TO HAVE ROBBED
WOMAN
Excited Citizen Fires Shots at Flee
ing Man and a Great Crowd
Takes Part In the
Chase

John Patterson, we'll dressed man,
was arrested at Third and Hill streets
last night by Special officer ]. Kuhn,
working in the Imperial restaurant,
and lodged in Jail on a charge of dis
turbing the peace.
Patterson was in the Imperial drink
ing with two women, and it is alleged
he took $1.30 from the purse of one of
them. The woman raised an cutlery
and the special officer ran to the spot
to inquire into the trouble.
The woman, who gave her name as
Viola White, stated she did not want
any trouble about the matter, after she
had accused Patterson of taking her
money, and when he vigorously denied
the charge she asked that he, be al
lowed to go.
The officer escorted him to the Broad
way entrance to the cafe, and when he
was thrusting him out of the door Pat
terson turned and struck him q heavy
blow in the face.
Patterson then ran, with the officer
after him, and the chase led to Third
and Hill streets. In order to stop the
man an excited citizen, who afterward
disappeared, fired two shots at the flee
ing Patterson. This added to the ex-
element and caused a great crowd to
gather, which it took four policemen
to disperSe.
