No More Lounging at Beachside.
For a number of years cyclists have
enjoyed lounging in the grove in front
of the Beachside Inn at Greens Farms.
The spot is probably one of the most
charming along the Sound shore. The
Inn is on the shore road between Fair-
field and Westport, on high ground,
almost a bluff, which is covered with
trees. The new manager of the inn,
Ray Chapman, has consulted with the
selectmen regarding the stopping of
the wheelmen in front of the inn, with
the result that no more loitering is al-
lowed. A constable was on the grounds
Sunday,and refused to allow the cyclists
to alight from their wheels.
Manager Chapman says that the
wheelmen are objected to by his guests,
to whose comfort he mustbe attentive
before that of the "general public. He
says the grove is private property, be-
longing to the hotel, and used by his
guests as part of the hotel grounds.
He adds that the order to wheelmen is
not a matter of choice with him, and
that besides, many of the wheelmen
abused their privileges. '

sides are of mahogany. Below decks
she will be finished in white and ma-
hogany. Just aft of the main compan-
ionway is a large stateroom with double
berths. Forward of this on the star-
board side is a small room. and on the
port side is a chart room. Forward of
these is the main saloon, extending the
full width of the boat. Forward of the
saloon are large and small staterooms
and two berths on the starboard side,
and on the port side one stateroom,

AMUSEMENTS.
Maude Adams as Juliet.
An editorial writer in the, Boston
Herald says of Miss Maude Adams’
Juliet: “One wishes to praise Miss
Adams for so many points that render
her impersonation a constant pleasure
to the spectator, but its charming
reality of girlhood remains uppermost.
Youth is so attractive in this mighty
Shakespearean character.” It should
be added that the very things for
which this and other writers praise
Miss Adams have cauSed some critics
to decide against her. the result being
one of the most interesting controver-
sies in stage history. However, local
playgoers will judge for themselves
next Saturday evening at the Hyperion
theatre, New Haven. William Fa-
versham will be the Romeo and James
K. Hackett the Mercutio.
The advance sale of seats for the fam-
ily circle is now open at the box office.
The prices will be first two row‘s $2,
the next six rows, $1.50, balance, 831.
These prices have been specially ar-
ranged to place it within the reach of
all to witness the great production.
Special attention is called to the fact
that in consequence of the length of
the performance the curtain will be.
raised at 8 p. m., sharp, and the man-
agement respectfully request that the
audience will be seated by that time.
There are still a few good seats left in
the balcony. Not more than ten seats
sold to any one, person. “

of his father-in-law, H. Gomoll, No. 143
Frank street, about five o’clock yester-
day afternoon by taking carbolic acid. .
Neither his friends nor his relatives
can assign any reason for his act, ex-
cept that he had been drinking heavily
af late and it is thought that possibly

he took the carbolic acid while tem-
porarily deranged.
At 4:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon
he bought half an ounce of carbolic
acid at the drug store of E.Wade Witz,
316 Columbus avenue. He said he
wanted it for a horse. An hour later
he was dead.
He left a note written on a. piece of
Manila paper apparently while he was
suffering from the poison. It was il-
legible and only a few words could be
made out: “It’s too had,” was part
of one sentence, and farther on he
wrote: “Take good care of Lottie."
Lottie is his only child. ‘
