Joseph Arthur's picturesque drama, The Cherry Pickers," was presented at the Grand Opera House last evening by the King Dramatic company to "a good-sized audience, despite the unfa vorable weather. This play scored a big hit upon its production in New York citv a few years ago. It was af terwards taken out on the road and was successful everywhere. It is now the piece de resistance of the King Dra matic company s repertoire. Its pre- duction last evening was in every way worthy and thoroughly enjoyed bv the audience. Between the acts some clever specialties are presented by the DeVe.ulls and the little Sisters Le vey. This afternoon and evening Franklin Fyle's we.r drama, "Cumber land '61," will be the bill. "CUMBERLAND 'HI." Cumberland '61" received the high est endorsement from both press and public on the occasion of Its original presentation at the Fourteenth Street theater. New York city, tour years ago, here it did a phenomenal business for three months and only moved out then to fulfill previous contracts.

Yesterday afternoon and even ing there were big houses, and those plucky ones who braved" the rain were well repaid, for the show, to use the parlance of the small boy, "Is great." Merriment rules the purpose of each act, and the success of the effort was attested by the rop.rs of laughter that greeted Reno, Richards and company, the eccentric comlques, as they cut up all sorts of antics In a lively act. The fat comedian in this act Is a whole show in himself. Burke's dogs astonished the house. They performed many , difficult and amusing tricks, end capped the climax when a row of them played two tunes on a chime of slelghbells, striking the bells with their paws a,nd playing the melodies without an err-or in time or tune. : t f Louise Montrose, a dainty young wo man with a merry specialty, "made good" and won instantaneous favor. Smith and Campbell, the jolly Jokers; Hal Davis and company, Mitchell and Mnrron and the Seeker Trio were all excellent.

Prices: Matinee. 10 and 20 cents; eve ning, 10, 20 and 30 cents; ladles at mati nee, 10 cents. WHO OUGHT TO VOTE. A nrominent lecturer Is reported as saying about the education of boys and gilrs "We all aspire to the prizes, but the girls not only aspire they perspire, and generally get there." The recent report of Dean Crow of Nortnwestern University, shows that while 40 per cent, of male students were marked 'poor," only 20 per cent, of female ftudents were so marked during the first semester. During the second half of the vear. the markings were 12 per cent, fit the men as against 5 per cent of the women. This would seem to in dicate not only a higher grade of schol arship, but better "staying qualities" in the feminine make-up. The question oft times presents itself to the inquiring mind, as to how long this country will rest content to pay the major part of its enormous school tax for the education of its girls, and yet excuse them from the common duties of citizenship. Our high! schools grad uate from five to seven girls for every boy; now, If an educational qualifica tion ho.s any arguments in its favor, the extra girls ought not to be repre sented, or misrepresented, by inferior men. Katherine V. King. MR. A WORD ABOUT REV. TWICHELL. Amos Parker, of Madison, Wis., a Yale man of 1884, formerly a prominent New Haven man, contributes to the current "Congregatlonallst" a readable Illustrated article upon Yale university and in the course of it he has this to say of Rev. Mr. Twichell, of Hartford: It is befitting, too, that the sermon in Battell should be preached by Rev. Jo seph H. Twichell, of Hartford., He rowed on the crew as a student and he fought In the -war as a chaplain. This would be enough to secure him the ad miration of these successive classes, but they love him, too, at Yale for his genial ever-youthful manly spirit. Joe' Twichell, they all call him. and a mlehtv cower for riE-hteousnens am hio the Law Courts. London: Villa on the frequent talks neath the elms." Mti llgnatnre It on every box of the gemiiM I Laxative BromoQuinine Tbieuv lb Nndr that cures a cold fa one day learning should be pretty firmly estab lished on the Yale campus. It is to em phasize this vital phase of the matter that the committee in charge have, with the approval of the president and fellows, arranged for a series of schol arly publications "as a partial indica tion of the character of the studies in which the university teaehers are en gaged." To the casual observer the most ex traordinary thing about these volumes Is that they are not bound in Yale blue a bit of good taste on which the com mittee is to be sincerely congratulated. They are of uniform octave size, print ed in large type on heavy paper, and bound in serviceable blue-green cloth, with the Yale seal on cover and back. Already twelve volumes have appear ed, and most of the remaining thirteen will be ready before October 20. The series is scholarly rather than popular; not many of the volumes will find their way into the circulating li brary; but for the scholar and the scholar's library they ape indispensa ble. In subject-matter they cover nearly then whole Hold of university study the philosophical sciences, in eluding language and literature; math ematics and the natural sciences; his tory, economics and phychology. The president of , the university, standing as he does at the head of all the faculties, and representing the sum and aim of all these studies, opens the list with a book, not on his own specialty of econ omics, but on "The Education of the American Citizen." ' This is, perhaps, the volume of the whole series, which will appeal most widely to the alumni of Yale, and to all who believe that higher education Is the surest support and safeguard of American citizenship, The remaining' volumes are all tech nical. Among those dealing with the ancient languages and- literature, the most notable are: "The Great Epic of India," an exhaustive study of the San tkirt yedas by Professor E. Washburn l-iopKins, 'roressor wnuneys buctob- sor in the chair of Sanskirt and com parative philology; "Historical and Critical Contributions to Biblical Science," by members of the Semetic faculty; "Life in Greece in the Homer ic Age," by Professor Thomas D. Sey mour; "Chapters on Greek Metric," by Professor Goodell, the scholarly au thor of the Greek commemorative ode which will be sung at the celebration; and "Principles and Methods in Syn tax" by Professor E. P. Morris, of the department of Latin, and general edi tor of the series. Coming to the domain of Romance scholarship we have "The Gallego-Sas-tiliah Court Lyrics of the 14th and 15th "Centuries" by Professor H. R. Lang; and In the department of English "Bib lical Quotations in Old English Prose Writers" by Professor Albert S. Cook, and the first installment of a 'work by Professor Lounsbury called "Shakes perean Wars." All students of Eng lish know how ably Professor Louns bury has treated Shakespeare's great predecessor, Chaucer. The general field of philology is further represented by "Lectures on the Scientific Study of Language" by Professor Hans Oertel and "The Elements of Experimental Phonetics,' 'by Professor E. W. Scrip ture of the psychological laboratory. Eleven of the thirty volumes com posing the series deal with mathematics and the natural sciences, and several of these are the work, not of an in dividual professor, but of the entire staff of one of the scientific laborato ries. The two volumes of "Research Papers from the Kent Chemical Labo ratory" Include also the work of grad uate students. The laboratories of the Sheffield Scientific school are repre sented by volume under the editorship of Professors Chittenden, Wells, Pen- field and Pirsfon. In the group of scientific writings we notice also "A Short Treatls on Vector Analysis," edited by Mr. E. B. Wilson from lec tures. by the venerable mathematician, Professor J. Willard Glbb, F. R. S., and "Light" by Professor Charles S. Hast ings. Yale has nlways been especially strong in the departments cf economics and history. Professor Sumner has contributed a text book on "Sociology;" Professor J. C. Schwab, secretary of the bi-centennial committee, has writ- ' ten on the "Financial and Industrial Conditions of the Confederate States of America," and various members of the faculty of law have prepared a Joint work entitled "Two Centuries' Growth of American Laws." . A university has two main functions the training of citizens and the dis covery of truth. The assembly of alumni on October 20 -will show what Yale has accomplished in one of these directions; the Bi-centennial publica tion shows the measure of her power to fulfill her second duty. It is pe culiarly appropriate that this series of scholarly works should be dedicated to the graduates of the university. It re mains for the graduates to show their appreciation of the honor and their loy alty to Yale by finding room for the prrlos on their library shelves, or by presenting it to the public libraries in the various towns where they live. hTe series is published by Charles Scrlb ner's Sons of New York.

WALKING SK1ETS. TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT M'KIN-LEY. General H. B. Carrington Before the Franklin County (Ohio) Bar. The Hyde Park (Mass.) Gazette of Saturday last contains the following article, which will be of much interest to many. In this vicinity by reason of the fact that General Carrington Js widely known here: ' At a memorial meeting of the Frank lin County (Columbus) Ohio, Bar, on Saturday, September 21, in tribute to President McKinley, General H. B Carrington, with one exception the only surviving member of that bar in 1848, but -now on the army retired list, and a resident of Hyde Park, closed brief re- marke a follows: 'Forty years ago, when I parted with you for other duty, the very ex letence of this Union was In peril. To day we meet in the shadow of another solemn ordeal. And yet, through & widening rift in the great Borrow cloud that has dropped tears all over the sen tient earth, there seems to gleam a su pernal radiance from the Great White Throne. Between earth and sky, the Incense wave of heartfelt prayer has filled all space; and even although the Almighty Father did not spare to us the bodily presence of the beloved Mc Klnley, He did bring his children to His own presence; and a people at the footstool of divine grace and mercy shall never be sent empty away." "Brethren of the Franklin County bar! Two thoughts seek expression be fore we part. The first is this: The dignity of your profession has been en hanced by the events we are gathered to consider. If the church be the sanc tuary of moral force, this temple of jus tice no less represents that, civil force which is ordained to protect society from violations of moral obligation. "Anarchoe" Is best and most compre hensively translated, 'Without God in the world.' ' Screen your eyes a mo ment and imagine that possibility, ye men of the law. And then magnify your profession as the conservators of law. ' "My other thought is this: The mightiest nations of the world realize at last that one common foe is under mining and endangering all social order and all domestic peace; that ambition for physical preponderance must yield to the demands for a common self-defense, against a deadly foe; that they must speedily converge their might against this lawless and godless ene my, in the Interest of fraternity, reci procity and charity, or they will chal lenge a world-wide conflagration of all that is righteous and blessed ' on earth. ( ..,;,, "It is thus and just now that we must take inspiration for the future. The rumbling wheels, the heavy tramp, tramp, tramp of our citizen militia, the solemn dirge, the floods of tears, the heart-aches and the sighs of last week are still above and around us, never to be forgotten. The nation has felt ' a sudden Jar, as if the Supreme Director of all things had for a moment set a break upon our progress, perhaps to check the impetuous rush for gold and greed; but the nation will move on to a perpetual and world-wide destiny if, in companionship with God, and never without God, it shall make righteous ness the spur of its progress,and the ideal goal of its race." The Ohio citizens and papers gave cordial welcome to their former citi zen and adjutant-general, who put the first twenty-six regiments Into the field, and who, besides commissioning Gar field, Hayes, McClellan, Rosecrans and others, mustered the late president into service. They recall the fact that be sides thirteen regiments of volunteers and eight regiments of militia thus promptly placed in the field, on May 6, 1861, he issued a general " order, No. 16, referred to in Appleton's Annual Cy clopedia, distributing among the coun ties an assignment of one thousand ad ditional companies, as a reserve, which large force was afterwards summoned to verify his prediction of the duty of Ohio, to have one hundred thousand more men ready upon demand. His prediction, telegraphed to Secretary Cameron, that "the result, however long, would be certain that Ohio had corn enough ahead for a year, and would go to the Gulf if necessary," was no "crazy utterance," as some declared, but an estimate of duty and ability now appreciated and honored by the Buck eye state. DEATH OF PATRICK FARRELL. Comrade's Account of Popular New,, Haven Dad's Accident. i The following letter explanatory of the recent sad death cf Patrick Farrelt ' in the Philippines will be read with in terest by many of the deceased's friends In this city: ' i : Co, H, 9th Infantry, Oras, Island of? ; Samar," P.

My dear Mr. Farrell: Will you allow,' me, as one of his comrades, to add a word to the captain's letter felling you- of the sad death of your brother, Pat- rick Farrell?

Just before Patsy, as we always knew! him, went to Conception, he and I formed the rear guard of a scouting! party that went out. He kept Joking me about my having so long a time to : serve, while he said he would be la v New Haven next spring. , He was well and strong up to tba , very last and would have continued sc I am1 sure.
