which seems 10 be well founded 10 combine
the local freight offices Of the several roads
at the new freight building Of the south

which, in addition TO the much desired

the roads involved to save considerable of
the expense now involved in the conduct
of the several separate local freight Of

All the grievances brought before the
boards of the several organizations named
were taken up with the proper officials
OF the road, and In every instance. so far
as known, satisfactory adjustment WINS
effected. II is said that the most cordial

is nothing In sight to perturb the feelings
Of the workmen or to disturb the serenity

engineers and teegraphers Indicated that
they would support the plan, and It was
then decided to hold Joint meeting in

stated yesterday afternoon by some of
the parties interested that the mutual in
terests Of the employees in the several de-
partments of railroad work demanded that
they be brought closer together in fraternal
organization, and the federation as pro-
posed gives promise Of being the most
effective and easiest manner In which this
state Of affairs can be brought about.

tival was the o'clock chamber con- cert by the N. Y. Reed Qintet club. The programme was naturally simpler than that usually indulged in by play CTS of strings. The contra-bass clari- net introduced by Richard Kohl is new to most of us, and gives beautiful col or support in such well balanced works as Griffiths and Kochkeller's.
 The soloist was Miss Emma Buck of Hartford, a contralto of considerable volume, and in Brahms "Dunkel, vie Dunkel'' found a work we'll suited to her capabilities. The voice, while still a lit ltcerude, is one of promise. Her German is very correct, but the Hanover dialect is much preferable for singing.
 The songs in English were well re- ceived Mr. blackstone accompanied.
 Among the musical festival notes may be mentioned a new song Loves Question" composed by F. A. Leopold, the vocal instructor, made it's appear ance at the music stores yesterday. It is contrapuntally constructed with a strong free modulation at the close and promises to be popular among good musicians. The poem which follows is by Charles D. Nettleton of Hartford, formerly of this city.
 What makes thine eyes so saintly fair?
 Pray tell me true. VII The light of heav'n reflected there.
 Would I were, too.
 For life Is one perennial Spring..
 The birds they never cease to sing
 When I'm with you.
 What makes my life so cold and drear
 Whene'er you go
 As though the Winter true were here
 With sleet and snow..
 The day so short, the night so long,
 The birds so seldom sing their song
 Too well you know.
 The song is dedicated to MT. Leo- pold's talented Hartford pupil, Miss Gladys Corinne Keeney who has many friends in this city. Miss Keeney gives her own recital next Wednesday, when "Love's Question" will be one of the numbers.
