GREAT SYMPHONIC CONCERT
Tomorrow Afternoon at the Hyperio

Tomorrow Afternoon at the Hyperion.
 The Symphonic concert tomorrow af- ternoon at the Hyperion promises to be the most interesting entertainment of the winter season. Upon this occasion the large orchestra of fifty skilled per formers will play Beethoven's great Symphony in A, No. [, that ever charm ing overture to Ruy Bias by Mendels- sohn and the fanciful and weird selec- tions from the Damnation of Faust by Berlioz. The orchestra has never achieved a greater perfection in its ar tistic work than 1t is doing now, and in addition, the organization has acquired the valuable service and assistance of that great singer, Gertrude May Stein, who will sing her farewell song to our New Haven people before her departure as prima donna for Germany, where she will appear in the opera at Mannheim.
 While the ticket sale has been an un- usually large enc, choice seats can still be obtained at the Hyperion box office, and they should certainly be procured at once, as the concert will be a fine one. and such financial assistance will be needed so as to enable the orchestra to maintain the object of it's undertaking.

A GIFT FROM THE GEAR,

There are three bells, weighing ap- proximately 8,950 pounds, of bronze metal, waiting in bond at the custom house for the members of the Russian Catholic church in Bridgeport to pay duties on them amounting to $932, or 45 per cent. of their value. The bells come into this country as worked metals, and the tariff on them is arranged according to their value. While the bells are re- maining in bond. the members of the church are consulting lawyers with @ view to obtaining some rebate in their duties, on the ground that the bells are gift to the church. They are for re- ligious use, and were not brought into this country to be sold. These bells came to Bridgeport from St. Petersburg, Russia, They are a gift from the czar, in recognition of the act of the church in sending a. delegation of three mem bers to attend his coronation.

OUR ARCHITECTS.

What the "Skyscrapers" Have Done
 for Them.
 In the Middle Ages structural prob lems were solved empirically; 1t took two hundred years to learn how to build an Amiens. Each builder solved a problem identical with that of his predecessors, but tried to do 1t better Thus the amount of novel engineering calculation or study required for each new, masterpiece, and the amount of novel artistic invention in the design, were alike reduced to a minimum. The work was carried on slowly and eau tiously, with all this advantage of &C., cumulated experience. With us, ten years have sufficed to create entirely new problems both of construction and design. Every year brings out new de- mands and new inventions. The en- gineering of tall office-building is vastly more difficult and complex than that of any cathedral, and never re- beats itself The whole structure must be designed and built in eighteen months or two years No master build- err of the Middle Age, no Abbot Suger, no William or Wykeham, would have sufTiced for the task. It is the assocla- ton of the engineering expert and artist architect that has made even a tolerable solution possible. The interest ing, the suggestive, the hopeful fact is that this has become no mere iuxtaposition, but really intimate and consequent partnership and that, as a result, not merely in tall office-buildings fin the United States but in our Ameri- can architecture generally, good plan ming and exterior design have become, and are becoming, more closely as- sociated with first rate construction. In this we have in the past been woefully behind European practice; 1t Is a ques- tion whether we have not now over taken it. Any one who remembers how American buildings were commonly put together twenty years ago will re- cognize the improvement The import ance of this side of the profession Columbia recognizes, by offering to its fourth-year students in architecture an alternative course in architectural en- gineering, and by emphasizing the structural applications of mathematics, physics, and chemistry in the three pro- ceeding years of the course. If the, tall office building is to be considered as the chief contribution of American | architects to their art,I believe it's real architects to their art, believe its real have just advaneed.-Engineerin Mag azine.

PLEASANTLY REMEMBERED.

Mrs. Daniel Clark of New Haven, for merly Miss Alice Deming of Newington, who has been confined to the room of her only child, Harold, who has had the scarlet fever for the past two or three weeks, was pleasantly remembered last Wednesday. It was proposed to send her birthday letter, and Mrs. Clark was the recipient on that day of fifty letters written from various parts Of the state. Harold Clark is convalescing and the letters were highly appreciated.

PROFESSOR PARKER'S SUCCESSES
 Professor Parker of Yale, who by his first oratorio, Flora Novissima," won recognition as one of the strongest composers America has produced, has recently finished a second work Of large dimensions, entitled "St. Christopher" This will be performed, for the first time, in New York in April, and the Springfield association will be prompt to follow, by giving it in May. One of the earliest performances of flora Novissima" was the one In Springfield, four or five years ago. These two works by themselves are enough to refute MT. Zerrahn's much quoted remarks that there are no novelties in oratorio. MT. Chadwlck's beautiful short work, Phoenix Expirans," has been given be- fore, but not enough, for 1t is fine music. MT. Goodrich is very young American, who has not yet made a name. but is known to have excellent talent, and has enjoyed opportunities for thorough training. His Ave Maria' was first performed in Munich in 1895.
 Thus it appears that the policy of the Hampden County association is an in- dependent one. It has the courage to cast aside the old theory, that it is necessary to produce hackneyed work on the last night to make good de- ficiencies at other concerts; and 1t fur ther has the courage to produce three American works, when it is usually con- sidered an uncertain venture to produce one Mnraoyar the SDringf1ald asSOcia- ton seems to be slowly but quite safely outliving the supposed necessary de- pendence on the pernicious star system. The Calve f1asco of last year helped to that end greatly.-Hartford Courant.

MRS. JANET CARLYLE TANNING

SISTER OF THOMAS CARLYLE.
 Mrs. Janet Carlyle Planning, sister of Thomas Carlyle, and the last member of the Carlyle family, died Monday at the home of W. J. Lalng, her son-in-law, in Toronto, Ont, at the age of eighty-fve years. She was widow, and had lived for long time In Hamilton, Ont, with another son-in-law, but in April last she moved to Toronto, in feeble state, and the death of daughter had a marked effect on her health, weakening both mind and body. She will be buried be- side her husband in Hamilton. Thomas Carlyle, on his death in 1881, left his sister Janet money enough to enable her to purchase a good home, and sur- rounded herself with relics of her brother. She also possessed many un- published letters from him.
