LAST PUB1rc REn EARsAr

Of the Oratorio of St. Paul Tonight Prior
 to tho Grand Concert.
 The last public rehearsal of ''St. Paul" prior to the concert attracted an un- usually large number of spectators to Harmonic hall last evening. Doubtless many came to familiarize themselves with the score of Mendelssohns' ora- torio which has not been heard in New Haven for some years, and is new to the younger generation. It is a won- derful work, certainly, and has enough variety in it to interest all grades of musical appreciation. Both Conductor Agramonte and the chorus attacked the choruses last evening with evident rel ish and vigor. As far as could be seen the Gounod society will add an- other stirring success to it's already creditable list.
 Some of the numbers were given with great power; notably, the first one, Lord, Thou alone art God;,' the mag nificent chorale "Sleepers, wake, voice is calling; Stone him to death," terri ble in it's dramatic intensity; "How lovely are the messengers" and 70 be gracious, ye immortals," both familiar and of impeitshable beauty; "See, what love hath the Father" sung with great tenderness and feeling; and the stately chorus closing the first part 70 great is the depth"
 The audience, including a large body of choir singers from Birmingham, re- mained throughout the entire rehearsal of two hours, apparently as deeply in- terested as the chorus Favorable com ments were heard on all sides.
 It was announced last evening that the sale of seats would open on Monday, April 22. Also that the remaining re- hearsals will be held as follows; Thurs day, April IS, Monday, April S2, and Wednesday, April "A.

DR. LANSING APOLOGIZES.
HIS ILLUSIONS TO THE PRESIDENT
 BASED ON COMMON REPORT.

Since He Has No Personal Knowledge
 Apart From the Testimony of Those
 Whose Names He win Not Give He With
 draws the Statement and Tenders an
 Apology to the President and the People.
 Boston, April s.-Rev. J. J. Lansing. whose references to the president in his addresses before the New England con ference at Salem last Thursday night provoked extended criticism gives out the following statement:
 My allusion made in temperance address at Salem on Thursday, April 4, to the drinking halo it's of the president of the United States was based partly on com mon report and partly on the testimony Of eye-wltnesses. From various and independent sources which I believed to be wholly reliable I had been in- formed that the president had been seen on different occasions and in the pres ence of many persons in an intoxicated condition. From the circumstantiol and detailed character of the statements supposed there was no doubt as to the facts alleged. I, therefore, made this allusion as matter of common report basing my confidence on the testimony of personal and as I supposed credible witnesses. The names of these wit nesses obviously, I cannot with pro- priety reveal, since sharing their know ledge In common with many others they might justly shrink from being singled out and called to verify that of which not only they but others equally with themselves had ocular proof. must, therefore, say that if my statement re- producing such testimony is not in har- mony with facts I regret having made it. I could have neither desire or mo- tive for saying anything unkind or un- charitable of the president or of any party whatsoever.
 "The casef fbeing one of conflict of tes- timony between witnesses of equal cred ibility I cannot decide and since I have no personal knowledge apart from the testimony I withdraw the statement and tender apologetic and sincere re- grets to the president of the United States and to the people.

THE NEW WOMAN.
Address by Mrs. Mary A. LivermOre Before
 the Congregational Club.

Address by Mrs. Mary A. LivermOre Before the Congregational Club.
 The April meeting of the New Haven Congregational club was held at Warner hall last night and was largely attended. The company sat down to an elegant repast at 6:30 o'clock. The feature of the evening was an exceedingly in- teresting address by Mrs Mary A. Iivermore on "The New Woman" She spoke for over an hour and half and was listened to the whole time by the large audience with the closest atten- ton She was introduced by Rev. Dr.
 w. l.. Phillips, the president of the club. In her address she gave a gen. eral view of the movement for the higher education of women, which has been going on for the past fifty years. She contrasted the position of woman half century ago with the eminence she has attained to-day. Vassar col- lege was the first women's college and was opened in 1865 She also spoke of the attitude the new woman takes toward marriage, and also the relations of man and woman in general She thought that war had done much to aid women in emancipating themselves and that 1t had removed their self depreciation. She thought the laws of Massachusetts were framed especially hostile to women.
 Professor Chandler and Representa- tive H. G. Newton made brief remarks after her address was finished.
 James Walker of the West Haven Congregational church and Deacon L. D. Warner of the Naugatuck Congrega- tionaI church were unanimously elected to membership. The names of Hebert c. Keith, F. H. Cogswell, Edwin H. Lockwood and Lewis D. Chidsey were proposed for membership. Mrs. Liver more greeted many members of the club after the meeting.

 New Britain, April 8.--The annual city election was held here to-day and passed off very quietly, although a good vote was boiled. The two big parties divided honors exactly. each electlng four ooMncilmen and one alder man.

Hts republican, opponent, Nelson E. Judd. ran forty ahead of his tlclets but McGuirS suey ceeded in defeating him by 135 votes in spite of this
 At Ii o'clock there was little stir at the voting place. It was discovered that the envelopes in which the ballots were placed bore the in3tSais of only one of the booth tenders When Mod orator Thomas B. Sheehar's attention was called to this he consulted law- yer and a little later, calling the chal- lengers and checkers to the ballot box, opened 1t, took out all ballots cast and caused the booth tender whose initials were massing to put them on each envelope.
 The ballots were then put hack in the box and the voting continued. There was no objection to tFfts plan of correcting what apnaared to be mtsA take and no trouble occurred in the counting.

 COUNCILMANIC ACTION.
 At the regular monthly meeting of the board of councilmen last evening concurrent action was taken on all matters which had come before the board of aldermen at its last regular meeting. After the regular routine business of the session had been trans acted, a recess was taken until 1915 o'clock, so that the councilmen could take action on the question considered at the special session of the board of aldermen and not be compelled to hold special meeting later in the week. This was, however, found impractical ble, owing to the on-endorsement of the papers received from the city clerk and an adIournment was finally taken.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

It Was Decided by the Massachusetts Su-
 preme Court.
 Boston, April 8.-An important ques- tion of law pertaining to promissory notes was to-day decided by the full bench of the supreme court. The de- cision comes down in the case of Lewis F. F. Abbott of Worcester, versus Val entine Doane, jr. The action was upon a promissory note made by the defend ant. The defence was want of con- sideration. The verdict in the superior court was for the plaintiff for S549 and the defendant allaged exceptions.
 Before the note sued upon was given by the defendant the plaintiff had signed for the accommodation of the David Knox & Sons Go. note to be discounted. This note was discounted but when it became due neither the company nor the plaintiff paid it. The defendant being stockholder and also a creditor of the Knox company went to the plaintiff and required the latter to pay the note, saying that such step would be a benefit to him. The plaintiff refused at first, but upon the defendant giving his note to plaintiff the note of the company was paid.
 Defendant claimed therefor that his note was given without consideration.

SILVER AND WORKINGMEN.

We are undergoing one Of the greatest
and longest periods of financial and BUSH
ness depression which our country has
ever passed through; and the unwelcome
fact that the end is not yet stares us in
the face and will not disappear at our
bidding.
There is a cause for all this. as there
is a cause for everything. And time is
not lost when it is spent in making an
investigation looking TO the discovery of
this cause; for, be it known, with all that
has been written and said on the subject
the majority of the people do not seem to
know Just what to attribute the universal
dullness to- While may not be able to
contribute much or anything to their en-
lightenment, 1 can at least present the
situation as it appears to me after having
devoted some little study to it.
The demagogue is now more than US
TALLY abroad in the land, and is making
the greatest possible use of the prevail
ling depression. With characteristic
ouackery he points out the only
remedy" the same being the support of
one or another of the political organiza-
tons extant, seldom giving any good and
sufficient reason therefor, but usually re-
sorting to some glittering generalities re-
lating to a record that has been made or
