THE SYMPHONY CONCERT.

It is a great pleasure to be able to record the complete success of the first Symphony concert of the season given at Yale Music hall yesterday afternoon. The audience was large, perhaps not so large as the affair deserved, but suf- ficient in numbers to insure the finan- cial prosperity and the indicate that public interest In the organization is increasing. The musical aspect was quite as gratifying as the financial The band has accomplished wonders since last year, and the improvement in each of the various choirs was mark ed. The program was well rendered in every respect, and New Haven has cause to congratulate herself on the possession ,of so capable an orchestra and of a leader so enthusiastic and painstaking as Prof. Parker. It would be a grateful task to compliment the individual members among the horns, oboeS, clarionetS, etc., for their eX- cellent performances, but space does not permit. It is undoubtedly due to this improvement in individual cases which caused the advance of the whole orchestra. But in attack, rythmic precision and quality of tone, the band has made remarkable progress.
 The program began with Webers s popular "Euryanthe' overture, which was brilliantly performed. Next came the Mendelssohn concerto for the vio- lin, played by the admirable concert master, MT. Isidor Troostwyk. MT Troostwyk's playing was masterly and worthy of many a famous virtuoso. He was repeatedly recalled Mir Troost- wyk's services as concert master are of the greatest value to the orchestra The symphony was Gades fourth, in B flat major, Op. 20. It is a beautiful work, spontaneous and full of the most charming and delightful melodies, worked out with all Gade's well known skill in orchestral manipulation The Eutracte from Benoit's Charlotte Corday'' excited the most applause of the afternoon, and was very we'll done The concealed orchestra was conducted by Prof Sanford in one of the rear rooms of the building. It is an effec- tive bit of composition by one of the most admirable men of the modern Flemish school. The program closed with the introduction to the third act of Lohengrin.
 Prof. Parker was given a splendid ovation at his appearance and conduct ed with great spirit throughout the pro- gram.

WHY THEY REFUSE.

the street board ordered the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad company and the New England Rail- road company to rebuild the Broad street bridge over their tracks. it hay ing been condemned. Both roads have produced receipts signed by City Treas urer F. A Brown in 1866 in full pay ment for their respective shares of the expense of building the bridge, and re- leasing them from further liability They therefore refuse to rebuild the bridge, which is unsafe. The records of the common council do not show that the city ever authorized City Treasurer Brown to relieve the roads from fur ther liability.

LOCAL OFFICE IN THE LEAD.

Report for November of the New Ha-
 ven Postoffice Mailing Department
 Shows the Least Errors of Any Post
 office in the Country--Branch Office in
 Fair Haven.
 The report of Postmaster Francis G. Beach for the month of November, just completed, shows that the New Haven postoffice mailing department is ahead of all previous records of any other postoffice in the country in the matter of correctness.
 The record of the month of Novem- Der for the local office is as follows: Mail dispatched, first-class matter, l. 52o, ,560 pieces, 34 errors. All other classes, 2S5,600 pieces, F errors; total, 1906, 160; total number of errors, 46. In the mail matter of the first-class there were 44722 pieces handled correctly to each error, and all other classes, 2S,S00 correct to each error, which makes a, total of 39,250 pieces correctly handled to each error.
 The percentage obtained is 999977 for first-class and .99995S for the other classes.
 Tn March last the record of the local office was exceptionally good, being somewhat better than that of Balti- more. Postmaster Beach was highly complimented for the report by First Assistant Postmaster Jones.
 Postmaster Beach has received au- thorfty from Washington to go ahead with the new sub-station in Fair Ha- ven, which he has been endeavoring to have established for some time.
 The new office will be located at the corner of Grand avenue and East Pearl street on the property owned by A. T. Andrews. Mir Andrews has con- tracted to fit the building up with new lock boxes and all other paraphernalia that will be needed in a first-class sta- tion.
 number of the letter carriers who now report for duty at the main office will start and end their duties at this office when 1t is finished. It will be finished just as soon as possible, prob ably by the 18th of this month

BUILDERS BUSINESS DULL.

Less Being Done Now in Their Line
 Than at Any Other Time in Thirty
 Years-A We'll Known Builders Ex-
 planation of the Fact.
 There is probably no branch of busi- ness in New Haven at present in which so little is being done as in the building line None of the building firms of the city has now any large contracts for building on hand, at least for work in New Haven, although several have out of town jobs. One exception to this is the firm of Sperry & Treat, which is erecting the new Osterweiss building on Church street.
 One of the best known builders said yesterday that business in his line had not been so dull in thirty years as it is at present. Other builders said prac- tically the same, and one gave as an explanation of this that builders were the last to be affected by hard times and also the last to be affected by the business revival, from the very nature of their work. The same condition of affairs exists in all branches of the business, and none of the firms look for any increase of business in their line before spring.

EARLE'S LECTURES.
Highly Interesting Bible Talk at Dav-
 enport Congregational Church.

f1lSnly interesting blDle Idlk at DaV-
 enport Congregational Church.
 Rev. I. N. Earle has been given his exceedingly interesting Bible lectures all this week at the Davenport church
 All who have been able to attend have been much pleased and well repaid. He has deeply studied the Bible, and is well versed in it's history and it's teach ings. Sunday school teachers find his talks, illustrated by his admirable charts, exceedingly helpful. One gets as much information in a weeks at tendance upon these lectures as in a years study alone. Mr Earle is a pleasing speaker and having been 8 pastor knows how to select that which is most profitable for his hearers. This Friday evening he opens up the sub ject of prophecy, particularly concern ing the future and the last days. This subject he has studied profoundly and his views are clear and strong. As no admission fee is charged and a ready welcome awaits everyone, any who can avail themselves of this opportunity will find a treat awaiting them. It is not necessary to perfectly agree with a speaker in order to thoroughly enjoy him, but hearers are sure to find MT.

December.

December comes to close the passing year.
 So full of pleasure mixed with fret ting care; Goodness and mercy mark our past ca reer,
 Let gratitude be also written there. This is the month we meet for grand review; Let social converse tighten every load, And, ere we bid the passing year adieu, Be better fitted for our blest abode, And Christmas, too, is coming right along,
 Day of all others to the child most dear; And as our voices join In grateful song, o may we realize the Lord is near. So would We venture on the unseen road,
 Our hand in His to lead us on our way, Until the trump of God proclaims abroad
 The glorious dawning of eternal day.

General Miles Probably Owes His Life to
Colonel Kimbal. and Mr.. McKittrick.
SAN Francisco. Oct. 2.-General
Nelson a. Miles, commander of the
army of the United States. had a mar.
row escape from death while driving on
the hill from the Cliff house to the
ocean beach.
After inspecting the waterworks plant
at the Preside, General Miles and a
party of friends started for town in
order to catch the train for the south.
While going down a steep grade the
pole of the carriage in which the com.
handing general vas riding, snapped
off short near the axle and frightened
the team. The vehicle was dashed
against the bluff and the driver thrown
from his seat between the plunging and
kicking animals, but Colonel Kimball
and Mr.. McKittrick jumped out and
rushed to the horses heads just in time
to prevent their boiling down the hill to
almost certain destruction.

THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The National Silver party in onven
ton assembled hereby adopts the follow
ing declaration Of principles:
1. The paramount issue at this time
10 the United States is indisputably the
money question. 1t is between the gold
standard, the gold bonds and bank sur.
reucy on one side, and the bimetallic
standard, no bonds and government cur
rency on the other. On this issue we de-
clare ourselves to be in favor of a dis.
tinctively American system. We are
unalterably opposed to the single gold
standard and demand immediate return
to the constitutional standard Of gold
and silver by restoration by this govern.
meut, Independently OF any foreign pow
or, of the unrestricted coinage OF both
gold and silver into standard money a,
the ratio Of 16 to 1. and upon terms o'
exact equality as they existed prior t.
1873, the silver coin 20 be full legal ten
der equally with gold for all debts ane
dues public and private, and We favo'
such legislation . will prevent further
demonstration d any kind Of legal ten
der money by private contract. w

OF election day and they will then lind
ont they still have a majority OF the
states to gain. Their plan OF campaign
is one OF uncertainty, like the democratic
congressman they don't know where they
are at, but they are going to play the
grand stand act for all it is worth and il
possible get up a rush for the "bapd
wagon" Hence We read in gold bug
papers of such claims as these: "New
York 100000 republican majority; Ohio
10000; Illinois 100000; Indiana $4,000;
Pennsylvania 100000 and SO on. OF
course such talk is silly, but the disgust
ing feature OF 1t is that great metropoli
tan dailies which ought to have more re-
gard for truth and decency, should con-
descend to such twaddle with the idea
that it was going to influence anybedy's
vote their way. What confidence or re-
spect OF the people can these dailies ex-
pect to retain, after all their bragga-
docia has come to naught by the cleo
tion of VIM. j. Bryan? Their course
shows conclusively thot they are not in
touch with the great mass Of the people,
don't know how the latter feel, or are
purposely disappearing them with q
view to aiding their oppresors to again
gain the ascendancy.
