offer special attractions at each supper.
The storm of last night kept up the
record FOR the week of very wintry
weather. The people who have been
wishing for just one more old fashioned
winter seem to have got it. There was
prospect last night that there might
be a sufficient fall of snow to make
sleighing. There are many owners of
cutters and good horses who are wish
ing for an opportunity to go sleighing.
The people Of this neighborhoOd are
resorting to various eXpedients to secure
a supply of fuel. Some purchased wood
when the coal famine began, but much
of it was so green it would not burn
They eked the supply Of fuel along by
purchasing half and quarter ton lots
but when winter set in in earnest the
trouble was intensified. Many we'll tC
do persons are troubled over the Goa
famine and in one or two instances per
sons not so we'll fixed financially offer
ed to loan a supply of coal to their rich
er neighbors. In several cases where
there was sickness in the homes the
people have suffered considerably. II
one case where a person was i'll will
pneumonia a neighbor succeeded IL
buying a quarter of a ton of coal ant
sending it to the house and this act wa!
greatly appreciated. Mr.. Konold hal
been to New York several times of lat
trying to purchase coal, but had yer!
poor success. There is no doubt bu
that there will be a good coal trade mex
spring and summer. that is if coal il
mined in large quantities once more, TO
the lesson of this fall and winter hav
been we'll learned and consumers do no
propose to get caught in similar con
dition again if they can possibly hell
it.
The Quinnipiac Canoe club is to Civ

POLES For CHESHIRE LINE.

Southington, Dec. lit is expected
that if the weather does not prevent,
the work os setting the poles on the
trolley line from Dickerman's corners
to Cheshire will be completed within
three weeks. The poles are being set
for the purpose of furnishing current
from the Milldale power house to be
used in running trolley cars from
Cheshire to Mt. Carmel.
The power used on that section of
the road is insufficient at present to
run the number of cars desired. Work
on the road, which is to extend from
Mt Carmel to Dickerman's corners,
has been completed as far as Cheshire.

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT.
THE NINTH SEASON AUSPICTOUS-
LY OPENED

with Splendid Work by the Nav Haven
Orchestra - Features of the Ero-
gramme.
The ninth season of the New Haven
Symphony orchestra opened yesterday
afternoon with a concert in the Hy-
perion at O'Clock. The orchestra has
spent much time in preparation for
this concert under the direction of DR..
H. w. Parker, who resumes his office
after years absence abroad, and as
the result of such drilling the pro-
gramme was splendidly given in every
detail.
The overture to lie Cid" by Masse-
net, was first presented, and the at
tacks in this number were clean-cut
and spontaneous, a feature which has
somewhat been lacking previously.
Hans KronOld was the sOloist of the
afternoon. His number was the A mi
nor concerto for Violoncello by Saint
Saens. This was beautifully given by
Mr.. Kronold, and his accompaniment
& by the orchestra was very ably exc
cuted. He has a rich sonorous tone,
together with great deal of tempera-
ment. But his higher tones were not
always exactly true. He was enthusi-
astically received.
~ The Schumann Symphony in D minor,
OPP. 120, was played well and showed
careful work. This one is a great SYM
phony, each part of which, as perform
ed by the different groups of instru-
ments, brings out gorgeous tone color
effects.
The Andante Cantabiie for string or
chestra, by TschaikoWski is always pop
ular when played well, and yesterday
did not prove an exception.
y The two military marches, "Pomp
\ and Circumstance" by Edgar E!gar,
the noted English composer, were pre-
scented for the first time in America
yesterday. They are strictly modern,
and have great deal Of dash and
stunning rhyme, entirely original in
their orchestration, with many new eff
fects. A vociferous encore was given
this number, which closed the pro-
gramme of one of the best concerts the
orchestra has ever given.
A good audience was present and il
is hoped that the public has finally
/ awakened to the splendid opportunities
4 for high-class intellectual music that
( the Yale musical faculty is giving. DR.
Parker was accorded a cordial reception
u on his return to Yale, and was present
ed with huge wreath. Following is
the programme:

Three Went on Rock Off Greenwich
Yesterday.
Stamford, Dec. 11.-Stamfords coal
famine will be greatly intensified by a
catastrophe which occurred off Green
witch this morning when a large tow
sought shelter from the high seas and,
before it was securely anchored, three
of the boats went on the rocks.
One of them was the Stella Callahan,
which was loaded with 261 tons of
coal for Boyd Brothers of Canal dock,
this city Another cargo was for Ell

yesterday that he had ten carloads Of hard
coal on the way to that city. The Bristol
Coal Co., of Ansonia, has 800 tons coming
200 tons en- route. This, with the amount
of coal which the Farrel Foundry 4 Ma

Two Questions.
cleveland Press.)

tCleveland PreSS.)
The Ohio house has passed, by a
vote of 60 to 23, bill which pro-
vides that employees who advertise for
men while a strike or a lockout affect
ing their lire of business is on, must
state that fact in the advertisement.
A fine of 800 for each violation is
provided.
Organized labor is probably behind
this measure.
without desire to question the
merits of this bill, 1t is well to ask
two questions of the promoters there
of:
First, is not this bill likely to prove
the entering wedge for policy under
which the Legislature will tell what
shall and what shall not go into the
newspapers at all times?
Secondly. will legislatures with
such a policy be C ontrolled by rep
resentatives Of corporations, or by
workingmon?
"1'he Press" would like to have
some of its labor organization friends
answer these questions, for they ap-
pear to be among the most important
that could arise for serious and thor
ough study by people whose demands
and grievances can find expression in
the newspapers only.
