 by tho wor} d,. Gresiest Writers.
 The second concert of the New Haven Symphony orchestra comes tonight in Woolsey hall at 8:15 as climax to New Hayen's musical week. Last night it was the Messiah and the great hal was filled. For tonight a splendid programme has been prepared by Pro- sessor Parker. -.3
 Bauer, the distinguished European pianist. is the soloist, and he will play Saint Saens concert in G minor. He comes to America with a splendid repu- tation as pianist. Critics give him a place beside Paderewsk and Hoffman, and some place him even higher. The concerto gives him opportunities for the display of his marvellous technical abil- ities as we'll as for his deeper musician ly qualities. There will also be an op- portunity to hear Bauer in two of the smaller piano pieces which he has iri- cluded in his part of the evenings en- tertainment. These are Schubert's I'm promptu in A flat and Chopin's Ballade in G minor, both among the most beau- tiful in all the literature of the piano.
 The purely orchestral numbers are Haydns symphony in G major, the Suite in by Moszkowski and Tschai- kowski's overture of "1Sl2.' r The latter is meant to represent one of the most stirring periods in the history of Russia the invasion by the French in 1872 and the occupation of Moscow. The piece gives great opportunity for orchestral effects, @
 , One of the best things of the evening will undoubtedly be the Handel Large with Professor. Troostwyk playing the violin solo, Professor Jepson at the or gan and backed by the great organ,
 There will be a sale of seats at the door of Woolsey hall beginning at o'clock. A number of good reserved seats may still be obtained. The last sale of season tickets is at the treasur- CTS office in Woodbridge hall, between and 12 this morning. ..-.

ing our very best to relieve suffering, sorrow and want. We were iTexperi- enced in an epidemic scourge such as this. It came upon us so suddenly that it took a little time for us to realize the awful truth that has been forced upon us and to prepare ourselves to best light the epidemic. We are now thoroughly organized and working together as a committee and as people completely in harmony, sympathy and kindness as a single individual, doing all in our power to relieve thed suffering and needy ones in our community.
 we will give to the public an accu- rate accounting of all money received and expended. It is stated that it will take $1OO,0nO to carry us through this siege of disease. We cannot raise it. Necessity compels us to issue a general appeal for outside aid and assistance. We want the public to realize that we all have been and are doing our very best, giving time and money where needed. But we feel we have exhausted our supplies in every way and many precious lives may still be sacrificed if outside aid Is not furnished us.
 We. as a people, are thankful for the aid already received and for the great sympathy shown us. If need be ] will accept the criticism also. And we appeal as stricken people unable long, CT to help themselves, for aid in our distress. Signed:
 William Kennedy, Burgess Pittsburg, Dec 9.--Word received to-
 day by Mayor Hayes from c. N. Hein- man, chairman of the relief committee
 of Butler, tells of the critical situation
 and the great need for financial aid. In- i formation from other sources received { by the councilmanic committee here shows that the conditions in Butler have
 not been exaggerated. More than 1.200
 persons are i'll, in many instances whole
 families are prostrated; the poor are great sufferers for food and ore; money
 is needed to employ physicians, nurses
 and domestics, in view of these facts
 the mayor has issued special appeal
 to the citizens of Pittsburg for aid and 1 tomorrow systematic efforts will be
 made to secure generous response.

HelpIess Land.

The biggest consideration in Amer
lean farming to-day is that of putting
and keeping land in such condition
that it can produce humus for itself
when given a chance. The soil falls
below that point through too much
cropping, lack of drainage, poor til
lage or some other kind of mismap-
agement, and then the store of humus
steadily declines, seedlings to clover
and grass are whole or partial fair,
ures. and matters grow worse yea
after year. The soil that is in goo(
physical condition produces humu,
for itself whenever it has opportuni.
ty, and it is the old law that unto
him that hath shall be given. Usually
it is only matter of physical condi-
ton. 1t is only a comparatively small
area of naturally good soil that will
not supply itself with the needed or
ganic matter to furnish fertility when
it already has a supply of such rotted
material to make is retentive of mois-
ture while admitting the air needed
for chemical changes in its store of
plant food. The fertile field can grow
heavy sods for itself, and thus help
itself.-Farm and Fireside.

The high prices of pork that have
prevailed for some time have induced
many farmers to embark in swine
raising more extensively than has
been their custom. This has not in
every case been done wisely nor well.
Many a female representative of her
race is having motherhood thrust up
on her, quite contrary to earlier at
tentions and without regard to any
of the fine points of adaptability,
heredity and other traits which ex-
perienced breeders insist upon.
1t is well to remember in the breed
ing of swine that it is easily possible
to come out with a loss even when
high prices are ruling If business at,
tention is not given to the production
of pigs that will make generous re-
turns for food eaten. And they must
have the food to eat. When prices
are high, as now, too many consider

crease numbers without much regard

the amount of feed that would push
one pig family to an early finish IL

ment of neither is such as will ena-

This condition of affairs will show
its true significance when supply over

of our unwise haste.

not remain long.-W. +. McSparran,

The truth of the matter is that good
dressing is more a matter of talent
than Of a fat pocketbook. Many girla
