$30,000 FIRE.
Factory of the Hat Forming Company
Burned.
Bethel, Conn., Oct. 19. The factory
of the Bethel Hat Forming company on
Main street was entirely destroyed by
fire this afternoon, causing a loss of
$30,000; insurance, $15,000. The company
owning the factory was a joint affair
and included all the hat manufacturers
of Bethel.
The factory was a thre story wood
en structure, 200x 50 feet. The fire
started in the third story near a ward
robe whore the female operatives kept
their hats and wraps. The origin of
the fire is a mystery. Owing to the
small particles of fur which are flying
about in the air tha flames found as
much inflammable material to feed up
on as if it were a tinder box and the
efforts made by the employes to sub
due the flames were futile and they had
to make a hasty exit. There were a
number of girls among the operatives
employed on this floor, but all escaped
without injury.
The town has only a volunteer firo
department, but as it was unable to
cope with the flames.efforts were main
ly directed towards saving adjoining
property. The large machine shop of
J. R. Smith was only saved after' great
exertions and the dwelling of Mrs. M.
E. Wylle was considerably damaged
through saved from total destruction.

YALE PLAYS BROWN TO-DAY
THE CONTEST ll'lZh HE CLOSE AND
INTEMESTING. .
Several Changes Mnde In the Vale Team
Since Lust Saturday Cntten to l'liiy
Center Foster Snnford May be Asked to
Assist In Couching the Line Men Uni
versity News.
The prospects of a victory for Yale
on the gridiron to-day are quite prom
ising. Several of the men who have
been on the hospital list for the past
week or two have recovered sufficiently
so they are at least able to appear on
the field in their suits;
Benjamin, who was injured in the
first gome with Trinity about four
weeks ago, returned to his position at
half back last week.
Cutten.the big theologlan.on whom so
much depends.who has been put by the
coaches for a record breaking center,
appeared on the field last week, but
didn't get in the game until Monday
last.
His absence for two weeks has been
very detrimental, as many import
ant ricks and plays which the coaches
have shown the line men have not been
learned by him.
Yesterday Marshall, who has shown
up remarkably well at center on the
'Varsity, played the same position on
the scrub and kept Cutten on the move
all the time.
Morris Ely, the game little quarter
back, was out in his suit but did not
play. It is expected that he will be
able to participate in the game with the
Indians next Saturday.
Gilmore, who had his knee injured
last week, resumed practice to-day and
played a fine game.
Abbott, who was a sub-tackle last
year, has for the past year been play
ing end, and has shown up so well that
it was intended to play him there in
the game with Brown to-day. Unfor
tunately his left leg was badly injured
in one of the scrimmages yesterday,
which will necessitate his laying by
for a week at least.
Charlie Chadwick, the strong man,
has apparently lost all the ability to
play good, fast football that he ever
possessed. He has been decreasing in
this respect for the past ten days and
yesterday was taken from the 'Var
clty and placed at tackle on the scrub
team.
Yesterday the Yale coaches were no
doubt aware of the fact that the game
with Brown to-day will be one of the
hardest fought contests of the season,
and in consequence the practice was
much sharper and more spirited than
usual.
Since Foster Sanford has been in
Buffalo coaching an independent team
in that city, the efficiency of the work
of the line men has steadily decreased.
He is recognized as one of the best men
in America to handle candidates for the
line, and the Yale management has
decided to secure, if possible, his as
sistance for the rest of the season.
Captain Rodgers seems to have al
most wholly recovered from his sum
mer Illness and his playing for the past
two or three days has been marked with
that spirit and dash which was so no
ticeable last year. He expects to play
the entire game against Brown to-day.
Arrangements for the big game with
Princeton are progressing rapidly. The
immense east grand stand is complet
ed and the west nearly so. They both
stretch the entire length of the field
and rise at an angle of 45 degrees to
a height of about sixty feet.
There are twenty rows of seats and
the seating capacity on each stand is
about 10,000.
As no vehicles will be allowed on the
grounds, Marshall, the liveryman, has
built about 250 feet of railing directly
opposite from the field and expects to
accommodate 200 teams. This will be
of considerable convenience to the pat
rons of the game.
Abo'it the first of November candi
dates for the basketball team will be
called out and preliminary practice for
the winter games begun. Several new
plays will be introduced this year, and
a winning team will no doubt be de
veloped. The victories of last year's team
caused Its supporters to grow in num
bers and it has assumed a rather prom
inent place in Yale athletics.
Yale men are to be accorded the priv
ilege of listening to Joe Jefferson, not
as an actor, but as a lecturer. On the
occasion of his former visits to this
city- he has accepted an invitation to
talk informally to. Yale undergraduates
and when the students learned that he
was to present "The Cricket on the
Hearth" here Friday night, they set to
work to secure his consent to address
them. Mr. Jefferson has accepted the
invitation and will speak to the Yale
men on Friday afternoon. The place
has not yet been selected. He will
speak under the auspices of the Yale
Union on the "Drama." In connection
with this lecture Mr. Jefferson has
made the following request: "I would
like the students to prepare three or
four questions pertaining to the drama,
and I do not desire to know them till
they are handed to me in writing at the
time they are asked."
H. G. Whitney of Toledo was elected
temporary football captain of Amherst
yesterday. Captain Arter was disabled
early in the season and will be unable
to go back into the game this fall.
Whitney is a member of the junior class
in college and plays right half back on
the 'Varsity team. He is without ex
ception the headiest, and probably the
pluckiest player on the team. Whit
ney played the same position at right
half back on Amherst's 'Varsity team
during the season of 1895, and was con
sidered Amherst's best ground gainer.
Whitney being a hard worker himself
much good is expected to the team from
his captaincy, together with Coach
Tyler's efficient work with the team.
The freshman football training table
started yesterday at Mrs. Coonley's on
College street.
A meeting of the Colorado club was
held last evening at 6:45 in 176 Lyce
um. The dates of the Yale-Harvard and

of the Gun club was held on the
grounds of the New Haven Gun club,
at Schuetzen park. A large number of
men presented themselves as candidates
for the university team.
BREACH OF LIQUOR LAW.
Stony Creek Boarding House Keeper
Fined $50 and Costs.
Branford, Oct. 19. Mrs. Peter Dough
erty of Stony Creek, who keeps a
boarding house near Norcross Brothers'
quarry, was fined $50 and costs this
morning by Judge Zacher for selling
liquor without a license. Mrs. Dough
erty had been before the court on a
similar offence August 30, to which she
pleaded guilty, and Judge Zacher stat
ed to-day that if it had not been for
the recommendation of Prosecuting At
torney Beach he would in all probabil
ity have made the penalty much heav
ier. The arrest wras the outcome of a raid
made by Constable Frazicr on Sunday
night, when he found a dozen men
drinking beer in the place.
This Is the second prosecution within
a week, and a prominent citizen of
Stony Creek made the statement after
court adjourned that there were thirty-one
places In Stony Creek where
beer was sold openly, despite the fact
that no licenses have been granted in
that district this year.
THE SUN AND THE LATE
CHARLES A. DANA.
New York, Oct. 19. One of the last
wishes of Charles A. Dana expressed
to his son when he knew that his end
was no far off was this:
"Paul, when I am gone, don't have a
long obituary of me printed in the
Sun. Simply announce my going away;
that Is all."
And this request was heeded.
While Mr. Dana did not control the
stock of the paper, he owned a large
share, and this, together with that
owned by his close friends and sup
porters, gave him practical control of
the publication. It was always his
Wish that his son should succeed him,
and it Is certain that his wish will be
gratified. Mr. Lord will remain man
aging editor; Daniel Fisk Kellogg, city
editor; Mr. Van Anda, night editor;
George Barry Mallon, assistant city
editor; S. C. Clark, night city editor,
and Messrs. Mitchell Church and Haz
eltine, chief editorial writers.
Mr. Dana had the most valuable col
lection of ceramics and objects d' art
in the New World, and it had cost him
between $350,000 and $400,000.

Koster & Bial's Music hall, New York,
will be seen at the Hyperion Saturday
matinee and evening. While literally
burdened with jollity, bright dialogue,
witty repartee and songs of the cafe
chantant, its humor is never coarse, nor
vule-ar. Its audiences both at itoster

nt Midland Beach, where its was play
ed during the entire summer, was al
ways of the best people in the social
stratum. Also there is no production

selves are works of art. The costumes
are of the costliest texture. Sale of seast

Grand Opera Horise.
"A Divorce Cure," which is playing
at the Grand, ends its engagement
there this evening. It should crowd the
theater to the doors, for it certainly de
serves it. No better comedy has been
seen in this city, especially at popular
prices, than this one. . The company,
too, is particularly strong. Margaret
May, a clever and beautiful actress;
Frank Webber and Edward McWade all
made individual hits Monday night. If
you want to see a really funny comedy
presented by a competent company
don't fail to see "A Divorce Cure."
There will be a regular matinee this
afternoon.
"THE SPAN OF LIFE."
"The Span of Life" has been for sev
eral seasons a reigning favorite in the
dramatic firmament. Its return here
will no doubt be the occasion of an out
pouring of those amusement seekers
who prefer their entertainment spiced
with a dash of realism. Nothing more
realistic than the bridge of human bod
ies in "The Span of Life" can be con
ceived, and the lighthouse scene is con
ceded to be a marvel of stage mechan
ism. "The Span of Life" will be here

Poll's Wonderland Theater.
Miss Laura Bigger and Burt Haverly
are making a big hit at Poll's Wonder
land theater, catching on quite as well
as they used to do when starring hero
with Hoyt's "A Trip to Chinatown'
company. They have evidently sensed
the true spirit of vaudeville, and Jn
their little sketch "She Would be an
Actress," they have seoured a bit oil;
comedy that sparkles with the daint
iest and liveliest humor. There Is noth-'
ing but fun of the merriest character
while they hold the stage, and they
have added much to the splendid repu
tation they had already won1n New
Haven for bright comedy acting.
Among the supporting artists are many
who have, won fame in vaudeville,"
Some of them are Paulinettl and Pique,
the De Moras, Mr. Stine and Miss
Evans, Manning and Weston, Proft
Doherty and his poodles, Miss Myrtle
