Dr, Gervaise Green will be the tenor: Miss Catheryn Murphy, the so- prano. Miss Louisa Daniker the alto, and w. F. Harper, the bass. Miss Mur- phy is the present soprano in the Humphrey street church, and she is re- garded by the critics as one of the com ing leaders among the artists or thls city. The other three members of the new quartet are well known as mem bers of the choir of the First Baptist church.
 The committee in charge of these mu- sical changes is composed of George T. Bradley, Theodore R. Blakeslee, VII liam R. Demarest, William M. Parsons, and E. l.. Howe. The first musical event In the new arrangement will oc- cur next Monday evening when Harry Rowe Shelley, the organist, of New York will give recital at the church. It is expected that large number of the city's music lovers will attend to listen to this artist With this recital as stimulus the musical department of Plymouth church, will begin to be pushed by the committee till it is very important feature in connection with the church management.
 It was reported yesterday that the so- prano of Center church during the com ing year will be Mrs. F o. Robbins, nee Miss Loveridge. The engagement was definitely concluded last Saturday, and Mrs. Robbins will begin singing in the church about May 1. Mrs. Robbins has sung for four or five years in Hum prhey street Congregational church, and after that sang at the Dwight Place church for two years. Mrs Robbins is one of the most gifted soprano singers in the state. and her services were much sought after this season, Plymouth. Dwight, Center, and Calvary churches all being desirous of securing her.
 The church music committee of the Grand avenue Congregational church will hold another meeting this evening to hear the report of subcommittee. Several meetings have already been held.
 It is learned that the music commit tee of Calvary Baptist church has had several sessions, but that no definite engagements have been concluded. One who claims to be well informed said yesterday that the committee "has a quartet of exceptional musical promi- nence in view"
 It was reported yesterday that Dwight Place church has engaged the services of Warren W. Williams, basso, who is at present with Calvary Baptist church, and Of Miss Florence Loomis, the soprano who sang there several years ago. Miss Loomis has of late been singing in New York, and recently has been quite anxious to return to this city. It is said that the alto has not been decided upon.

CONNECTICUT TYP0THETAE.
MONTHLY MEETING AI THE HOTEL
 G4RDE LAST EVENING.

An Interesting Paper by Mir. Cornelius
 Morehouse-The Next National Meet
 ing-Tho Always Puzzling Question ot
 Job Figuring Discussed-Those Who Were Present.
 The monthly meeting and dinner os the Connecticut Typothetae was held
 at the Hotel Garde last evening with
 Hon. Wilson H. Lee, executive chair
 man, presiding. George M. Adkins was
 at the secretary's deskk. MT. Lee read
 a very interesting paper contributed to the Progressive Printer by c. s. More house, of this city, on the general con
 dition of the printing business, which
 was listened to with marked attention. l The article by Mir. Warehouse was signed with the nom de plume, A Graduate" As MT. Morehouse has re- tired from active participation in the business affairs of the craft, this non de plume was very appropriate, and the reading of his article before the
 Connecticut Typothetae was indeed
 compliment. The next meeting of the National Typothetae will be held In
 Buffalo the last week of next August,
 and the communication from the Buff falo Typothetae requesting list of the
 number of delegates and their friends who are liable 10 attend was very lime- ly when the fact that the Pan-Ameri-
 can exposition will be held in that city at that time and the accommodations are likely to be taxed to their utmost is considered. However the delegates from the local Typothetae will not be elected until the May meeting, but the, number likely to attend can be approx imately gauged in advance. After the reading of several other very interest ing papers the society informally dis
 cussed the estimating on general Job
 work and the many point brought out would make the average patron Of the
 printingf office wonder The quality of papers was gone into at much length,
 and hard surface paper, bond paper linen paper ledger paper, as well as the papers made in imitation of these, was discussed and their qualities as to the absorption of the oil in the inks as well as the quality of ink to be used and | the necessity If sufficient time to allow one side to dry before printing the re- verse side was thoroughly talked over
 The most positive method of figuring on | miscellaneous work came up for discus sion and, as it always has been and al- ways will be, it proved the rule last evening that 1t was very hard nut to kcrack. Some of those who were pres Tent at last evenings meeting are the following: Hon. Wilson H. Lee, George M. Adkins, Fred F. Norman, George Il. Tuttle, J. S. Emery, A. s. Barnes, E. F. Peckham, George Settsam, Edwin

Eldora. March 1.-THE tax ferrets
have now adjusted nearly $40, 900. About
one-third ofthis has been paid into the
treasury, and all Will be paid in the near;
future. The indications are that before
The ferrets leave this county they will
have dug up and uncovered between
$4,000 and $40, 90 0of taxes justly due the
county. This large sum of money will
all be paid in during the present year,
and will cause a cutting down of the
rate of tax levy in many precincts the
ensuing year. A conservative estimate
gives the ind dependent school district
about $500 as its share OF the tax thus
collec ted. In a dditionsto the money thus
actually received Is the wholesome les
son thus taught. The assessor returns
show increases in bills receivable and
moneys and credits for thisyear of from
10 to 40 per cent over last year. Nor is
the matter Of dollars and cents the only
good derived. The poor man has ever
to pay ta.xes on all he possesses; every
thing he has is In plain sight of the as
s'eSor. Not SO the rich man, who can
send his money into another state to be
inested In banks or loaned on farm Sc
curity and the tax revenue on all such
money Is added to the right man's hoard
while the rate OF taxation for the poor
man is increased to meet the deficit SO
created
a new field has been opened for inves-
tigation by the ia ferrets. 1t is now
proposed to investigate the returns

cessive appor tionment money Will be

Special to Times Republican.
The b.. C. II. & N. is really no nearer
settlement of the differences be-
tween the strikers and the manag g. ment
tho I is hoped that General Manager
Williams suggestion made yesterday
afternoon may provide a way out salts
factory alike to the men and the man
saGemeIt The Commercial Club has
taken the matter up and it was owing
to a sugg estion from the club that the
representatives of the Cedar Rapids
papers alled on Mr.. Williams and re-
squested an nterview on the subject of
the strike Of the b.. G. r. & N. shop
men. stating that the side of the COM
pany had not been presented as yet ard
that the public was very much inter
ested ink knowing the truth or falsity of
the charge 81 oppression and injustice
which had been made by the men thru
the Columns of the newspapers.
He vas found entirely willing to talk
and said in effect that the piece work
plan was inaugurated in order 20 in
crease the efficiency Of the shops. The
plan had worked well in other shops
and given sa tisfactory results. Since
the newspapers that it's shop employees
allege acts Of injustice and oppression
in the application Of piece work as a
reason for their declining TO accept this
as basis for their pay. OF thetruth or
falsity of these reports he had NO
knowl ledge, but II the name of any ems
ploye thus III treated was brought for
ward he would be glad to Investigate
and correct any mistake Of this nature
that had occurred. AT the conclusion of
the Interview Mr.. Williams said:
!" I desire to make this suggestion:
unde rstand the Commercial Club Of this
city has received a committee appointed
by the shopmen and has a typewriter
report of their grievances IL this is the
case 1t may be assumed that this report
covers all their objections to the piece
work system. 1t is entirely agreeable ii,
me that this report be Investigated,
either by the officials of this company,
with the intent of ascertaining the evils
and applying the necessary remedies;
or that the Commercial Club should. In
the interests OF this property anc. the
city at large, appoin, a committee of
three men. un biased by trade or politics.
to investigate these charges and report
thru your columns their findings.
II realize that this strike muss ter
inmate sometime and make the above
suggestion merely as a means of bring
Ing this matter to a conclusion without
further loss to our men,
The men continue orderly and sober
and are anxious for a settlement. Az
nearly as may be ascertained the num-
Der OF new men who have arrived to
take positions is less than twenty-five
and are said to consist mostly Of un-
skilled worknen. No attempt has beer
made as yet to open the shops.

was in Dies Nioines recently in confer
sence with party leaders. One of the
questions considered was the date on
which to hold our county primaries. 1t
is probable that the primaries will be
Held in July, altho this will depend
somewhat upon the desires OF the state
central committee, which will be modl-
fed by any circumstances arising in the
gubernatorial contest, which is not
causing very much excitement here.
Thee is no pronounced favofitism for
any of the avowed candidates for gov

strongest sentiment is for A. B. Cum

Scrous anti Cummins feeling. which can
not, however. be regarded as favorable
TO Mr.. Perkins especially. 1t is thought
that some other candidate might devel-
