TAX THE FARMER.
Dad Reads u. Heavy Expense to the
Tiiier of the Soil.

The Murray Tenn. Times sums mp
the road situation in this wise: ION
our gravel roads TWO mules haul two
hogsheads of Tobacco on the mud roads
four mules can scarcely drag enough to
fill Uncle Josh Sledd's pipe three times
day 1t then gives a number of very
sound reasons why good roads are pay
ing investments to farmers, among
which are the following;
"A good road economies time and
force III transportation between the
farms and the market; reduces wear on
horses, harness and vehicles; increases
the value Of real estate contiguous to the
roads; brings prices for farm products
because they can be- marketed at less
expense; rural homes are sought after
along good roads wagon highways are
the greatest arteries Of commerce; civil
lization is judged by the condition Of
the ROADS nc tax is as great on the tax
payer as bad roads, a bad road is a
heavy tax on those who use it, and the
worse the road the heavier the tax
bad roads cause n decay Of agriculture (;
they impose the greatest Of all burdens
on the farmer; the roads cause people
to gather III the cities; bad roads Wear
ont the horses very rapidly, thus de-
tracing very largely from the profits Of
the farm. -

YALE.PRINCETON GAME.
The First Championship Contest of the
 Season To-Day.

The First Championship Contest or the
 Season To-Day.
 Yale plays her first championship game of the season with the Princeton Tigers this afternoon at Yale field. There will doubtless be a large attend ance as the advance sale is in keep ing with former years. Speculation was rife last night as to which team would be victorious. It was argued that the defenders of the orange and black would triumph by reason of the fact that their team had had the eX- perience of two games with Harvard, while the Yale team met some of the weaker college teams. This is true but it is also true that the Harvard team this year has been several times de- feated by the smaller college teams and that their team is not nearly so good as in past years. Regardless of the fact that the men on the Yale team have not played any championship game thus far this season and that they have been several times defeated, the re- markabe improvement made in the past few days under the coaching Of Dutch Carter ex-Captain Keator, Frank B. Stephenson, the old first base man, and George Case, captain in 94, is not to be disregarded in the esti- mate. It is a well known fact that Yale teams can be surprisingly improv- ed in a few days under the stimulus of the famous old grads and this years team is no exception. It is expected that the team will to-day put up such an article of ball that those who have ,11o a1j will hardly recognize it by reason of the improve ment. On the other hand the Princeton supporters are confident that their team will win if they do not have walk over. It is to be hoped that they will be disappointed.
 A large number of rooters will doubt less accompany the team and be pres ent at the game to give their men en- eouragement.
 The game will be called at o'clock and the umpire, who is to be selected by President Nick Young of the nation al league, will not be known until just the time of the calling of the game. Work on the new bridge over West river has been hurried along with all possible speed for the last few days, and it is expected that a temporary floor will be laid across the same so that it may be used by those attending the game and that they will not be com- pelled to rely on the narrow foot bridge which has served thus far this season.
 There are still number of choice seats that will be sold by the manage ment at the gate for fifty cents.
 The line up of the Yale team will be as follows: deSaulles 2b; Quinby 3b; Wear, Of; Wallace, If; Camp, ss; Sulli- van, c; Waddell, 1b; Eddy, If, and Rob- ertson, D. Tn case of Robertson's fail ure to pitch the kind of a game desired, Cook will be substituted.
 Yale freshman team will play it's sec ond championship game with the Princeton freshman team in Princeton this afternoon Garvan will pitch for the Yale youngsters and a different re- suit is expected than that of the last game at Yale field. At Elm City park afternoon the freshman team defeated the Lawrenceville team by the score of IA to g.

| promises to develop into player of ex. | cellent calbre. The next performance | was really the great success of the | evening. It was the Schumann con | certo, played by Maurice Porter. a col | ored youth of unusual talent, who has | been pupil of Professor Sanford fol two years. His playing of this familiar concerto was remarkably brilliant and | sympathetic and there was a. burst of | applause at the close. Professor San ford has great faith in the boy and his future achievements will be watched with interest Miss Cornwall of Milford played the seventh concerto of DeBeriot t. Miss Cornwall is young, but she has a beautiful tone and much temperament. Following this was the interesting per- formance of a symphonic "Adagio" of Grieg, set for the orchestra by the class in orchestration. Professor Parker re- signed the baton to David Stanley Smith, who led the orchestra safely through the score. This adagio is from Grieg's set of symphonic sketches, Op. IA, which have never been orchestrated and are only to be had in four hand piano score. Miss Emma Speske, who

 It is a fact that ought to be men toned at this time that pieces for or chestra by two members of the orches- tra class have been tried at rehears als for the benefit of the composers. These were a ''Scherzo' by MT. Chandler and a "Ballade" by Miss Lola Phinney. Thus do the orchestra and the theoretical de- partment compliment and supplement each others works. Also four pupils of the organ department have given public recitals at Battell chapel, These were Miss Florence Wells and the Messrs. w. J. Kraft, c. F. Moulthrop and L. F. Graeber.
 The pupils of the department are all enthusiastic and happy in their work and they increase steadily in members and talent

 The commencement exercises of the department of music of Yale university were held last evening in College street hall. A large audence was present and the performances of the pupils were all of artistic merit and in some instances a remarkable degree of proficiency was shown. Four pupils from the violin de- partment were heard, two from the piano department. and a member of the class in orchestration conducted an ar engagement from Grieg made by the members of his class The occasion was one of genuine pleasure and a dignified and worthy exhibition of the work that is going on in this department of the university.

On the other hand, Waterbury was fortunate in punching hits, and, aided by ragged fielding on the part Of the Vls- itors and desperate base running, they scored in four innings.

 When the home team took the field for its game with Bridgeport yesterday afternoon it was evident that Manager Reilly had done some hard thinking over the result of the game with Merl- den on the day before Clinton, who covered third base on that day, was not in evidence, his place being taken by Hickman, a new acquisition. Johnston stood out in right field in place of Rus Sell, who was on the bench, and in the box was Brace of this city, who has been playing for some time with the Wallingford team.
