Diphtheria at St. Louis.

St. Louis, Sept. 2S-There is no decrease in the number of cases of diphtheria re- ported throughout the city, and it is es- timated that nearly 400 persons are suf- fering from the disease. The health au- thorities are at a loss to account for the unusually large number of cases, but 1t is believed that the disease has been az gravated by the sudden and extreme change in the temperature during the past two weeks. Another reason given for the spread of the malady is the fail ure on the part of physicians to promptly report the existence of diphtheria and the consequentlack of quarantine precau- tions. No abatement in the spread of typhoid fever is reported and in some sections of the city the disease is almost epidemic

A Friend to the Poor.

II Is a loss to all the, city, and especially is 1t a sad blow to the poor of Montgomery. They were always in his mind. The rigors of winter and the bangs of hunger were driven from many a fireside in this city by the generous big heart of Colonel Troy. His charity knew neither race nor religion, and much of it was dispensed by other than his own hands. and he knew not of the distress which his boun- ty relieved, content with the knowledge that relief had been provided for some suffering human being"

 Afternoon,


 To be Played at the Concert Thursday Afternoon.
 One great advantage of a permanent home orchestra is that it's hearers can enjoy systematic and continuous rem dering of the great classic master pieces, Last winter Haydn and Mozart were represented on the program of the New Haven Symphony orchestra, At the next concert the principal number | is Beethoven's second symphony, though not so famous as the fifth or ninth, and being one of his earlier works. This symphony is one of very great beauty. It's joyous and lively na- ture is the more remarkable, as it was composed in the year 1902, the same year in which Beethoven wrote the re- markable letter known as "Beethoven's S | Will" which refers to his deafness and was written in one of those states of depression under which the composer often suffered
 The second symphony is much great CT, bolder broader than the first. Af- ter a spirited introduction, of truly true bass, the first movement begins The motive is given out in the bass with violin accompaniment above, and is soon followed by the second motive in A.
 Neither Haydn nor Mozart could have written anything so large in style, | so fresh in ideas and vivid in color
 In the beautiful slow movement which follows the main theme in A is exquisitely worked out.
 The scherzo which follows is the most picturesque and striking part of the symphony and is attained by the extra ordinary spirit and vigor of the music l by the constant sudden contrasts in both amount and quality of sound and | chiefly by all kinds of unexpected changes of key, such as arouse the at | tention and satisfy the taste. A start l is made in D, then we go to fiat, then l A. Then D again and then to F. Not i only the harmonies but the melodies, are wonderfully clear and easily re- membered. This abrupt change of key and tone was marked departure from | the methods of earlier composers "who could not give their thoughts and emo IlonS to the 1lre ana naturdl ardOr which distinguished Beethoven's ardent and unrestrained musical nature of the finale itself.
 At the time it was written it was nearly as astonishing as the scherzo, for to people who had not heard the | f1nales of Beethoven's fourth, or sev- enth or eighth symphonies, this was the most vigorous, abrupt and fiery compo- sition they had ever listened to. It took them all by surprise and made them listen against their will, their aes- thetic judgment sense of propriety and everything else.
 "But why talk of parts and move ments? Who has time to think of them while his ears are full of such delicious sound? Even now, what can be newer or more harmonious or pleasanter to | hear than the whole symphony? To this very day, eighty years after its first ap- pearance, it is as fresh as ever in it's in- domitable fiery flash and Irresistible strength. I.

THREE YOUNG LADS
And Their Adventures on Bicycle Trip to
 Meriden.


 J. Harwood Pearce, nine years old, eldest son of Councilman John H. Pearce of the Fifth ward, and two young companions are the heroes of a thrilling bicycle ride to Meriden. It all happened last Saturday. Master Pearce with the two other boys young repub- licans, named Bishop and Beeler, re- spectively, thought Meriden was a good place to do little missionary work in, and so they set forth at Ii a. m. deter mined to bring that "burg'' into the republican column. It was an hour be- fore dinner, but what cared these young enthusiasts for food or drink, so long as they were buoyed up by massive bicycle and the golden fruit of repub- licanism.
 It was 2:3o when they arrived in Mer- iden, and after short rest the youth ful crusaders held conference and de- cided that Merden was way off from New Haven, that it was desolate place, barren and unfruitful, and that there wasn't anything worth bragging about in the whole '"burg," anyhow.
 They also concluded that they were hungry, and incidentally remembered that they were still suffering from democratic hard times, and so if they only had five cents how nice it would be to spend it for loaf of bread
 But even five cents were not to be had of any of the trio
 As a last resort they determined to try the hospitality of Meriden and be- fore passing from the outskirts of the city they wheeled up to a handsome residence, rung the bell, waited and then found the dwelling was vacant. The next house they halted at the 'la- dy" chased them away. Finally, hun ger preying upon their vitality and re- memlbering that New Haven was a long way off, that there was a woods near the vicinity and darkness coming on, they determined to make one more ef- fort to get something to eat before the dash for home.
 So they drew up once more before another residence. This time the lady answered their call, and, smiling, in- vited them in, gave them some cake, crackers and bread, told them she was formerly resident of New Haven, and wished them luck and "God-speed" home.
 They now felt stronger. It was all ready dusk, with the dark woods be- yond and the thought on their mind of democratic donkey looming up and emerging from the thicket. Young Pearce however, said he would give three cheers for Old Glory and initiate the agIe's screech, if the donkey should make his appearance. This imbued his companions with enthusiasm, and as Master Pearce afterwards said, we just made our wheels fly"
 They passed the woods in safety and arrived in New Haven at about six l o'clock, determined never to run to Mer- 1 iden again.
