To the Editor of the Herald:

To the Editor of the Herald;
Notwithstanding the development Of
musical taste in Boston. we have never
yet possessed a full and permanent or
chestra offering the best music at low
prices, such as may be found in all the
large European cities, or even in the
smaller musical Centers Of Germany.
The essential condition of such orches-
tras is their stability, whereas ours are
necessarily shifting and uncertain, be
cause we are dependent upon musicians
whose work and time are largely
pledged elsewhere. To obviate this diff
ficulty the following plan is offered: 1t
is an effort made simply in the interest
Of good music and though individual,
inasmuch as it is independent of socie-
ties or clubs, it is in no way Antagonists
tic to any previously existing musical
organizations. Indeed, the first step,
as well as the natural impulse, in an
nouncfng a new musical project, is to
thank those who have brought IFS
where we now stand. Whatever may
be done in the future, to the Handel
and Haydn society and to the Harvard
greater part of our home education in
music of high character. Can we for
get either how admirably their work
has been supplemented by the tastes
and critical judgment Of Mr. John s.
Dwight. and hv the artists who have
identified themselves with the same
cause in Boston? These have been our
teachers. We build on the foundations
they have laid Such details of this
scheme as concern the public are
stated below. The orchestra is to
number sixty selected musicians, their
time, so far as required for careful
training and for a given number Of
concerts, being engaged in advance
Mr.. George HenscheI will be the con-
ductor for the coming season. The
concerts will be twenty in number. Civ
en- in Music Hall on Saturday even
ings from the middle of October to the
middle of March. The intention is that
the orchestra shall be made permanent
here, and shall be called the Boston
Symphony orchestra.
Both as the condition and the result
of success, the sympathy of the public
is asked.
H. L. HIGGINSON.
From this beginning Of sixty local
musicians, there has developed an Or
ganization of ninety-four performers,
drawn from the principal musical cen
tiers Of the world, with its field of use
fulness extended to all the large eastern
cities. The imposing total of two
thousand performances will be reached
early in the coming season.
The only appearance Of the orchestra
in New Haven this season will he on
Monday evening, February %. at the
Hyperion Theater under the auspices
of the Connecticut Teachers Guild, To
which organization great credit should
be given for their enterprise in bring
ing the orchestra to this city

Gratefn1n DOG sarea BOY.

Walter De Witt, II years old, Of
Brookdae, n. j., owes hrs life to the
gratefulness of mongrel dog to which
he tossed a bone the other day. The
dog was homeless outcast that had
been kicked and beaten aud shot at by
the entire neighborhood. De Wits kind
ness won the ours everlasting friendship
and he followed the boy everywhere
Young De Witt had self-made raft on
which he was padding about on Town
House pond when it struck a snag and
capsized The boy could swim but little
and had all he could do to keep himself
afloat. The only being within reach Of
his voice was the mongrel, branded as
chicken thief and with hide SCARED
from bullets, but the grateful brute swan
to his assistance and by this aid alone
was the lad enabled to reach the shore
in safety.

DEATH ON THE RAIL.
Nunber of Persons Killed During Year
Put at 1854.

The railroads OF the United States kill
ed 1864 persons and injured 45,977 dur
ing the year ending June 10, 1908. The
total number of casualties, 1851, cost
the railroads $9,596,977 property loss, as
compared with S7645, 406 for the previ-
Gus year. The increase in the number
killed was 135 and in the number in
jured 6,179
These facts are shown by accident bull
letin No. issued by the interstate COM
merce commission for the fiscal year
and for the second quarter OF the pres
ent calendar year Although the report
shows large increase in casualties 1t
is noted that the number killed in train
wrecks is three less, although the num-
Der thus injured increased by S3S.
The commission finds an excuse for the
poor showing made by the railroads:
Railroad companies are much more
careful to include all accidents In their
reports to the commission than they
were, and it is undoubtedly true that
much of the increase is due to the fact
that the accident reports are fuller than
during the preceding year"
1t is stated that the number of men
employed in the train service on June 80
last was about II per cent greater than
on June 80, 1902. On the roads of dens-
est traffic, where liability to accident Is
greatest, the increase has been more than
this.
The expansion of freight traffic led to
the employment OF men so rapidly that
the percentage Of inexperienced men in
service this year Is larger than ever in
the history of railroads.
The report further shows that out of
the total number killed 321 were passen-
gers and 1888 employees and out OF the
total number injured 6,973 were passen-
gers and $4,000 employees. During the
months of April, May and June last S44
persons were killed and 11,461 injured,
which is decrease Of SO fatalities over
the previous quarter. Attention is call
ed to the fact, however, that % fatali-
ties were due to butting collisions, which
are always the result Of carelessness.

LABOR MEN IN UPROAR.
Storm in Convention Over Socialist
Resolution.


An outbreak of Kisses from the gal
leries OF Faneuil Hall, in Boston, when
socialistic resolutions were reported I'M
favorably in the American Federation Of
Labor convention Tuesday afternoon,
caused President Gompers TO order the
galleries cleared. Amid many hostile ex-
pressions the crowd was expelled from
the building.
For the first time during the conyen-
ton the question of whether the organi-
cation should commit itself to the doc
trines of socialism came squarely before
the delegates. The question was not an
swered, az shortly before & o'clock an
adjournment was taken until the next
day Some nine resolutions favoring pub
lie ownership and the organization of a
political party to bring about conditions
the socialists seek were all reported on
unfavorably by the committee on resolu-
tions.
At once the long arranged plan of the
socialist delegates to fight for the adop-
ton of their principles was put into OPP
Grafton by Delegate Hayes of Cleveland.
He offered Il substitute for the commit
tees report, but was ruled out of order.
At this point the demonstration from
the spectators led President Gompers to
order the galleries cleared. The elected
people, numbering several hundred, as
semgled outside FaReuil Hall and adopt
ed resolutions condemning President
Gompers for his action.

OIL MAKING FARMERS RICH.
Sensational Rise In Price Causes Ex-
ploitation of Old Fields.

The rapid and almost sensational In
crease in the price of oil during the last
few months has caused the oil fields in
Indiana and Ohio to be exploited in a
manner unprecedented except in the
boom days when oil first was discovered
in this territory. Operators have been
stirred into activity, and rigs have been
erected to drill for oil over vast area
contiguous to the known oil fields which
hitherto had been left untested.
The price of the crude oil in Indiana
and Ohio has been advanced over 40
cents barrel during the past year, and
it is now selling from $l.27 barrel in
Indiana to as high as $1.32 barrel in
some Ohio districts. That the advance
in price is destined to continue for some
time is conceded by all oil men. and some
OF them even venture the prediction that
it will not stop until $3.50 barrel has
been reached.
Agents of the Standard Oil Company,
who buy most of the oil produced In the
Ohio and Indiana fields. are stimulating
the people to drill more wells. Every
where they are urging operators to put
down wildcat" wells. the term common
ly applied in the oil country to test wells
drilled in territory outside Of the known
oil belt
The sensational rise in the price Of oil
began little more than month ago.
From S6 cents, which was the ruling
price in October, 1902, it gradually had
risen to SLIP, Suddenly the Standard
Oil Company. which makes the price in
these fields, boosted it to $1.14, and with
in three weeks was offering $1.25 and
higher.
Wells that have long been abandoned
because their lowage was not sufficient
to pay the expense of pumping when the
price OF oil was less than 81 have been
started again owing to the increased
price.
Farmers. who own most Of the oil
lands, which they lease to operators for
n royalty ranging FROM one-tenth to one
sixth of the output, are betxSting from
the renewed activity and consequent in
crease in their revenues. The marked
and alarming decrease in the production
OF oil in the Pennsylvania and West
Virginia fields is declared by oil men to
be the cause Of the advancing price in
the Indiana and Ohio fields. The produc-
ton of crude oil in Pennsylvania has
fallen, it is said, below the consumption,
and the surplus stock has been decreased
100000 barrels i'll two years.

TEN THOUSAND STARvE.
Inhabitants Of the Cape Verde Islands
Are Famine Stricken.

The people OF the Cape Verde Islands
are famine stricken. Letters received
in this country tell n frightful tale Of
loss of life, for in the island OF Santiago
alone the dead number 10000. In spite
of the measures of relief that have have
been adopted the death rate continues to
be from 80 to 80 n day.
The Cape Verde Islands belong to
Portugal and are situated about 800
miles to the west Of that African prom
ontory from which they take their name.
There are many islands in the group,
ten OF which are of considerable size.
The largest and most important Is San
tiago The Cape Verde Islands owe their
origin to the action of submarine vol
canoes and all are very mountainous. The
highest elevation is reached in volcanic
peak 9,157 feet above the sea, on the ISL
and of Fogo, and which is still active.
The total population of the group is
about 100000 nearly all of whom are
negroes, indolent, but harmless. The
climate is unhealthy during the rainy
season. Although water is deficient, veg
citation is luxuriant, yielding African and
esouthern European products, Sugar, cot
ton, tobacco and indigo are grown and
tho trade in archil, coloring substance,
monopolized by the government, has in
some seasons yielded $4,000. Several Of
the European domestic animals thrive
,ell Turtles are abundant in the sur
rounding seas and whales are also fished
by British and American vessels. Amber
is found on the coasts and great quaint
ties of salt, formed by solar evaporation,
Is obtained on the lagoons along the
shores. especially on the island of Lal.
Each island is affected by the famine,
hut the loss OF life in Santiago is the
greatest In spite of the thousands of
deaths the Portuguese government has
not taken any steps for the relief of the
stricken people and all outside aid has
come from the Board OF Trade of Lisbon.

susTAINs CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Ohio Supreme Court Declares 1t May
BE Practiced ira the State.

The Ohio Supreme Court holds that
Christian Scientists violate no Ohio stat
utcs in practicing the teachings of their
creed. The matter came up on error in
the case Of the State versus Sylvia and
Leotta Bishop from Butler County. The
defendants were parents Of an S-ycar-old
daughter who was badly burned, but,
being Christian Scientists, they refused
to call physician, it was alleged and
depended entirely upon their religious
treatment for relief,
The child died, and later the grand
jury returned an indictment charging the
parents with manslaughter. In the trial
the Judge charged the jury to bring IN
q verdict OF aequittal on the ground that
no existing statute had been violated.
The prosecutor of the county, Holmes
Gard, carried the question up on excep-
tons, which the Supreme Court oyerruled
without comment.
