TO THE PUBLIC.

Last evening the printers employed in the composing room of the JOURNAL AND CoUR- TER asked that the price of composition be raised from thirty-five cents to forty cents, the Union rate, and that the office be made Union office. Their demand concerning the price of composition was promptly complied with, and consent that the print ers' union should enforce it's rules in the composing room was at the same time given. The new rate went into effect last night. The JOUR NAL AND COURIER has no quarrel with or ganized labor, and wishes it all the success it can legitimately obtain.

Benefit Musicale.

The Atheneum was we'll filled last night by cultured audience on the occasion of the benefit musicale given under the auspices of Misses Winifred Long and Hattie Peck. These young ladies presented some of the most attractive numbers on the programme in the form of piano duets and solos, which showed both to be no ordinary performers upon that instrument. Mrs A. Hsaton Rob ertson appeared in two solos, which showed her artistic method to the best advantage, especially the FfAdelina Waltz" Miss Jus tine Ingerson read a selection in her usual finished manner, and the Dwight Place male quartette sang. Owing to the illness of Miss Phelps the operetta which was to have been performed by her and Mrs. Robertson was omitted, and in it's place MT. Harry Ensign gave his impersonations of different actors, in which he showed a decided talent for imi- tation. During the intermission MT. Shiu- kichi Shigemi, Japanese student, gave native song. The entertainment was most attractive one throughout and thoroughly enjoyed. It reflected great credit upon the enterprise of the young ladies who managed it so successfully.

 One of The Largest Real Estate
 Transactions Tn Years.
 The firm of Mayer, Strouse & O., the
 corset manufacturers on Court and Olive
 streets, have purchased their large manufac-
 tory, which heretofore they leased, of Mrs.
 Grace Davies, daughter of ex-Mayor H. M.
 Welch of this city. The price is not stated,
 but it is ailarge figure. The firm has been
 contemplating for some time past locatin
 elsewhere either in this city or Bridgeport
 They had very favorable offer from Bridge
 port. They were short time ago contem- plating buying large tract of land on Me- chanic and Lawrence streets opposite Thomas Forsyth's dye works and laundry ot William J. Atwater and others; also had in view one or two other sites. Their factory which they now run has one hundred and fifty thousand square feet of flooring. It has fifty front feet of land on Court street and fifty-fve feet on Olive etreet, and 8 depth of three hundred and forty-two feet from Olive and of two hundred and thirty four from Court. There are eight buildings, most of them four or five stories high, and all connected. The late ex-Governor o. F. Winchester, who founded the Winchester Arms company manufactory, built the first of these buildings occupied by the corset concern and founded here what became the great Winchester & Davies shirt manufac- tory, the firm erecting new buildings from time to time as the business increased. MT. Max Adler said last night that the corset company take possession of the premises July 1st.
 John P. Futile for the New Haven Savings bank bought yesterday of Colonel George A. Basserman the Basserman building on the corner of Church and Center streets for $1 and other valuable considerations. The building stands part of what is known as the "G1ebe lot," which was leased from Trinity church parish in 1947 with the privi- lege of seven years renewal of the lease to 1910.

Hartford's Boss Bakers In Trouble.
 The boss bakers of this city Gall except one) issue card saying they see trouble be- tween themselves and their workmen owing to ''the presence of a eracked-brained dema- gogue," as they express it. They say they pay from eight dollars to twelve dollars a week and furnish board to each journeyman; they pay extra for extra hours, but their journeymen are advised not to work extra hours. This, say the bosses, would fre- quently spoil the entire batch, which if left unfinished would be ruined. At certain times the men must work extra hours (and receive pay) or the damage to the bosses is very great-Hartford Times

Hartford's Grand List Falls OF Year


 It does not sound we'll for the city of Hart ford to have it said year after year that the grand list is falling off, yet as often as the ways and means committee meet to levy taxes and prepare recommendations for ap- propriations for city expenditures, this is the finding. It is enough to realize the fact without going into the actual decrease. What has become of our board of trade and the in- fuence of it's members to keep what indus tries the city has and encourage the growth of othersl Within the past year there have been several cursory examinations of local inducements for manufacturing purposes, but the fact that none settled here is sufi- cient reason to believe that the invitation to come wasn't very cordial one. Nor is there any special effort to keep what are with us. Of course Hartford is a very busy city in other matters, but there may be way de- vised to meet strangers fairly and make it advantageous for their chances here At present there is not work enough for the good mechanics that are here, and the idle ness extends 10 labor that is less skilled. There ought to be and there is a way out of this indifference, and the sooner 1t is cor rected the sooner the grand list will stop decreasing and go the other way-Sunday Journa1
