A SPLENDID FIRST MEETING

OF the New Haven Choral Union To-
Night Assured.
Everything is in train for fine first
meeting of the Choral union tonight
programme as originally given out, but
none in the lessening or interest or ex-
cellence.
Mn Haesche has been obliged to cam
eel all other engagements and give his
entire time to the applicants for MEM
bership and the completion of his own
address of explanation. He reports the
greatest enthusiasm on the part of all
and an astonishing nur. Der of excellent
voices. He will have several assistants
at the hall to take names and addresses
not previously sent in. The originally
planned limit of two hundred bids fair
to be far too small to be observed.
The New Haven Orchestral club
which is ,the oldest musical organiza-
ton in town, and of which Mr. Haesche
has been conductor for three years, will
give several selections, and Mrs.
Haesch will sing Pilgrim Lane and
Thy Beaming Eyes" Mr. Weld, the
choirmaster Of ST Paul's church. will
give Gypsy John" and "Off for Phila-
delphia in the Morning.
The piano is loaned to the Choral
union for the entire season by that
most generous of men, Mr.. Steinert.
The singing Of America" by the whole
audience will suitably close so good a
beginning. A brilliant future for this
is predicted.

FINANCES OF ST. FRANCIS ASY.
LUM.
Annual Meeting Of the Corporation
Yesterday.

Annual Meeting Oh me Corporation
Yesterday.
The annual meeting of the corpora
ton of the st. Francis Orphan asylum
was held yesterday. The receipts for
the year 1901 amounted to $33, 165. 55 and
the disbursements for all purposes were
$32, 1887 leaving a balance in the
treasury of $375S8.
The present Indebtedness Of the asy-
lum is $4,000
The cash donations amounted to $4,-
741.S1 and legacies received amounted
to $3539.O1. BY the will of Rev. Father
Synott. who died recently in Norwich,
$10,0 900 is bequeathed to the asylum, but
this bequest has not been formally re-
ceived by the corporation of St Fran
els, and so it is not included in the re-
port of 1901
From the Philip Maret fund the in
come in the year amounted to $3.462 80.
There are now 316 orphans under the
care of the asylum, of which number
1856 are boys and 1870 are girls. In 1901
there We're 1874 admitted and 81 who
We're placed in the care of relatives or
guardians We're returned to the institu-
ton for various rasons. The institu-
ton is becoming too small to accom-
modate all the inmates and an addition
to the north side of the building Is con-
templated when funds necessary for the
completion of the project are received
1t is probable that the Father Synott
bequest will be used for the erection of
an addition to the asylum.
AT the same meeting the reports of
the ST. Lawrence and st. Bernard Gem
etery associations We're made The re-
ceipts of the Cemetery association

BURGLARS IN WEST HAVEN.
Broke in the Front window of the En-
terprise Meat Market

| Broke in the Front Window of the En-
terprise Meat Market.
Burglars made their periodical visit
to West Haven Tuesday night when
the meat market of r. A. Sohn, at the
corner of washington avenue and
Brown street, was entered, This is the
first burglary in several months that
has occurred in the borough, the last
one having been committed last sum-
mer. when the house of Carl Tde on
Thomas street was entered in broad
daylight.
Last nights marauders, however
were not professionals, apparently, as
the bungling job had every evidence of
being boys work. The front window of
the store was completely demol' she'd
and through the aperture, about three
feet square, the mscreants entered
The cash drawer which had some small
change in it, was rihed and many Of the
goods were disturbed. but whether any
thing in the way Of stock had been taxi
en- Mr.. Sohn was unable to tell yester-
day afternoon.
The location of the store is a most
enticing one for burglars, being located
a the rear of the piano shop, on a thor
oughfare that is little frequent at late
hours.
The case has been reported to Ser
geant LOOMS. of the West Haven pO-
lice. and he is now invest eating it.

GOOD ROADS WORK.
What Connecticut is Doing to Improve
Highways.


Highway Commissioner James H
Macdonald will not make report tt
the governor this year But if he hat
a report to make, he would state in i
that under the old appropriation Of
| 1S99-l900, when, with the sums voteC
| by the towns, amounted to $466 600
and including the work yet to be done
under this appropriation, the extent Of
roadways improved would be 1873 miles
Since the highway commission was
established, there have been about 50t
miles of road improved by the aid OF
the state. All but six Of the towns
have come into what is generally
| known as the "god roads" government
by applying for d share of the stat
appropriation.
The popularity of the movement is
shown by the fact that the state APP
preparation has fallen short of the ag-
gregate sum for which the towns APP
piled by $240,000. In few instances
the selectmen have prevented their
towns from taking advantage of the
state appropriation even after the
town meetings had voted the local
appropriation,
The voters of these towns showed
their disapproval of this policy of in
excusabe hardness by retiring the Sc
lectmen into private life at the last
town election and electing men who
were in sympathy with the Good
Roads movement and who will give
effect to thew otes of the town meet
ings.
The highway commissioner is now
vested with ample power to prevent
local authorities from opposing the
policy of the state or from thwarting
the efforts to give effect to this policy.
The policy of the state is now para
mount. The commissioner has now
the power to give to towns the right
to contract with the state for the work
on roads, without competitive bidding,
to the amount of $1,000.
If the authorities of town in car
rying out the contract incur expenses
in excess of the state and local appro-
priations the highway commissioner
will insist on the work being done in
accordance with the terms of the con-
tract He Is ever mindful of the fact
that he is the guardian of the states
interest in the making of good roads,
and he would turn deaf ear to APP
peals for an increase in the state APP
preparation to make up any deficit that
might exist
If town is ambitious to improve
its highways at a more rapid rate
than can be done by it's allotment of
state money it must out of its own
treasury, provide the funds foT the
realizat ton of its ambition. While
Commissioner Macdonald cannot en-
courage the ambitious at the expense
of the state it must be conceded that
it is laudable.
If he were to weld to one town for
aid beyond the sum allotted he could
not refuse a similar request from
others and the result would be that
many towns and particularly the
smaller ones, would suffer.
There are at the present time tbout
20 towns which have not finished their
work under the old appropriation. 1t
is expected, however, that they will
begin in earnest in the spring. In re-
gard to macadam Commissioner Mac
donald will not encourage the laying of
it in the late fall

Accordingly the young man placed

When morning came the young man
awakened to find his purse-minus the
