Just how long pensions may con-
tinue is illustrated by the fact that
there are still four widows of revo-
lutionary soldiers on the rolls. Ac-
cording to the same continuation and
considering the average of life is in
creasing, this government may be

which nearly 1000 have been granted.

Grand opera House.

An American Gentleman" the new
 and novel melodrama. comes splendidly endorsed, and with record of complete success last season, to the Grand Opera House tonight for an engagement of three nights and Wednesday matinee, The cast is headed by William Bonelli, long popular with New York audiences by his excellent portrayals of heroic roles. He will be assisted by Miss Rose Stahl, an emotional actress of great ability, and the supporting company has been very carefully selected. Abun- dant scenery of novel and elaborate de- sign and handsome special costumes have also been provided. The story is clever and coherent, the interest in it developing the moment the curtain rises and continuing in intensity with unflag- ging interest. Here is a touch of pa thos. There is a bit of delicious come dy. Now a. pretty love story twtnes in and out, and here it is disturbed by the blot of crime, which the hero crushes out little by little Novel climaxes have been carefully interwoven which will bring into prominence the wonderful strength and athletic ability of MT Bo- nelli, especially where he is surprised by the gypsies in their camp and tri- umphs only by the aid of his powerful physique. A fine treat is expected.
 'The Fast Mail,' which appears at the Grand Opera House next Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and at the matinee Saturday is said to be the most successful railroad and scenic melodrama on the road this season. There is a murder and clever trick with the grandfather's clock in the first act; Mississippi river steamer, its en- zine room showing a practical furnace, and the explosions a full size freight train, with it's realistic engine anl four teen box cars with their familiar let tering, followed at the close of the third act by the Fast Mail; the Dago of the third act and the thrilling incidents and escapes which take place there; and, finally, the full front view of Niagara Falls as seen from the cen ter of the Suspension bridge, upon which the curtain descends.

 Tn addition to the statement show ing the proposed reduction or rates to private consumers, statement IS also attached hereto marked EXhlplt b) showing in detail the items upon which MT. Whitney, in his letter of Decem- Der 27th. 1901, based his statement that the water consumed by the city of New Haven for public and municipal pur- poses amounted at fair value to the sum of $65,000."
 The reductions and changes in the new schedule of water rates to take effect May 1st, 1902, if either the pro posed thirty year or continuing con- tract is adopted, are as follows:

 The rate for one family dwellings having set tubs or set bowls is five dol lars and fifty cents or fifty cents addi- tional to the sink rate
 Second-In a dwelling occupied by two or more families the sink rate is re- duced from five dollars to four dollars and fifty cents for each family The rate for set tubs or set bowls in tene- ments is fifty cents for each family in addition to sink rate.
 In tenements where two or more families use but one sink in common the rate is reduced from five dollars to four dollars for each family
 Third-The rate for sink or set bowl in store, offices and warehouses is re- duced from six dollars to five dollars
 Fourth-The sink rate for fish mar kets and saloons is fixed at six dollars and upwards, it being necessary to have sonnet discretion in rating such premises, as those in the center of the city do more business and use much more water than those on the out skirts.

 SALE OF SEATS FOR CONCERT.
NInsnificent Programme Arranged by
 PrnfeEsor Edgar s. Kelley.

l The sale of seats for the symphony concert on Thursday afternoon, Janu- ary 16, the third in the series of con- certs by the New Haven Symphony or chestra, starts Tuesday morning at the Hyperion box office.
 As the programme might be designat- ed an irresistible one to musical folk there is little doubt that the audience will be fully as large, if not larger, than was that of the December evening concert.
 The list for Thursdays concert in cludes the Tschaikowski symphony, the one in E minor; the rarely beauti- full Glade concerto in D minor, for the violin to be played by that true artist, Isadore Troostwyk, a work never be- fore performed in public in this coun- try: a symphonic poem by Saint Saens, his "Phaeton," played here for the first time; the Berlioz "Danse of the SyIphs," and finally Nicolai's Merry Wives of Windsor" overture, most attractive list indeed, and the men un- der ther gifted conductor, Edgar Kel- ley, are doing splendid work.
 The orchestra as it stands to-day has
 
 it has fairly earned by the most con- scientious kind of work it's place among the most important educational factors in the community
 The public's part in the orchestra's development can lie only in the direc- ton of a cordial and increasing sup port without which, the orchestra, how ever fitted, can not take it's place among the permanent orchestras of the country.
 To that end the New Haven Sym phony orchestra is doing it's share of the work and a most elevating, uplift- ing work it is both to the organization itself and to it's loyal supporters.
 The management wishes it known that students tickets for the concert can be had in advance either at Stein ert's or at the Coop store on the campus. These tickets are fifty cents.
