KNE1sEL oUARTETTE CONCERT.

KNEISEL QUARTETTE CONCERT.
 Last night was the first time in the history of the Kneisel quartette con- certs that they were the victims of cold feet. But the demonstratiVe and ap- preciative audience was likewise af- flicted owing to miscalculation of the janitor for heat supply. To proceed with the review of the concert. The programme presented was not quite as interesting to the average listener as some previous concerts. But the usual virtuosity displayed by the Kneisels was ever in evidence. s. ...st..
 The Caesar F'ranck quartette in D major begins with Poco Lento move ment, interesting only from an archi- tectural standpoint, But from the fas- cinating Scherzo Vivace on to the final Allegro it becomes more inspired and interesting. &.. ]
 Dyorak's Terzetto for two violins and i, viola is most pleasing composition from melody and rhythmic point of view. The Scherzo Viyace is full of brilliancies and weird rhythms Inter- esting in this movement and quite an innovation in quartette music was a passage played by the violins, using the bow over the bridge. 71&#..s
 Mozart's quartette in D minor is an exponent of well thought out and pol ished workmanship. It has that ele- ment characteristic of Mozart, purity lacking in sensuous and passionate The Andante is very melodic and was played with beautiful information. MT, Kneisel's solo in the Menuetto was characteristic of his ability as quar- tette leader and virtuoso. ~
 The ouartette is too well known 1 in consequence of their established re- putation, to eulogize them profusely. They stand for excellence in the high est degree. The concert last evening lis the last to be given by them in New Haven until next faIl.s They sail for England March l. 1904 .H

 Eugene J. Higgins. charged with prac- ticing medicine without license, was sentenced in the court of common pleas yesterday afternoon and was fined $100 and costs. the same sentence from which he appealed from the city court.
 The verdict of guilty was rendered by the jury in the case last week but by request of counsel for the defense sentence was deferred until they had chance to argue to have the verdict set aside on the grounds that it was con- trary to the evidence. It was on this motion that the hearing was held yes- terday, and after long arguments from both the attorneys for the state and for the defense Judge Bishop decided that the verdict was a proper one and pronounced judgment on the case. Detective Ward when seen last even- ing was very indignant over state ment which have been made during the case concerning Eugene Mayer, the principal witness for the state. Said Detective Ward: "As far as the state ments concerning me are concerned I do not care anything about them, as they can in no way affect me, but think that great injustice has been done MT. Mayer. He is a young man who is greatly respected by all and there is no question but what every statement he made was absolutely noth- ing but the truth, unbiased by any personal feeling or intent. His state- ments were clear, concise and honest, and no one who listened to him testify could doubt but that everything he said . was absolutely true" Prosecuting Attorney Woodruff when interviewed made a similar statement, saying that MT. Mayer made an ideal witness.
 Messrs. Maher and Sullivan, attor- neys for Higgins, have made strong fight to acquit their client and are de- serving os credit for the able manner in which they conducted the case. AL though confronted with preponderance Of evidence they have tried their best to protect the interests of their client.

SPEAKING of the causes of the
terrible famines in India, in little
pamphlet entitled England and
India" Mrs. Annie Besant writes
as follows:
Another great cause of these
famines is the way in which the
land is now held. In the old days
there was a common interest in
the land between princes and peo-
pie. Now the mobiles, the old class
of zemindars, have been turned
into landlords, and that is very
different thing from the old way
of holding land. Then you have
insisted on giving to the peasant
the right to sell his land, the very
last thing that he wants to do, the
thing that takes away from him
the certainty of food for himself
and his children No peasant in
the old days had the right to sell
his land, but only to cultivate 1t.
If he needed to borrow at any
time, he borrowed on the crop.
Now, in order to free the people
from debt, they are given the
right to sell their mortgage hold
ings, and this means the throwing
out of an agricultural people on
the roads, maxi ing them landless,
and the holding of the land by
money-lenders. The revolution IN
the land system of India is one of
the causes of the recurring fam
ines, the second, perhaps, of the
great causes. The natural result
of it is that you put new power
into the hands of the money
lenders. and you take away from
the peasant the shield that always
protected him.

TINE LITTLE COUNTRY PAPER.

It's no sixteen-page edition that ex-
presses big mems views,
And is not filled up with pictures, nor
with Geographic news,
1t isn't printed daily, with an extra"
ever hour,
And the editor IS not Dragging of his
influence and power;
1t may have its faults and errors, but
all these forgive,
For it's printed in the country, back
where l used to live.
1t is only issued weekly, and is not made
up for style,
But when it arrives l gladly put the
daily by awhile.
| don't read in its pages what the wise
and great men say,
But | see that Frank Pinkerton brought
some wood to town today,
And that grandma Hofhein g better, or
that "Whisky Bill'' is dead;
And it tells just what the Parson in his
Sunday sermon said.
In it see the faces of the friends used
to know
In the dim and distant fancies of the
happy long ago:
And read, up in one corner, how the
Summer winds did blow,
And that "Uncle" Jack Severe predicts
an early fall OF snow;
Or that our Literary Club will give So
ciable next week,
At which our fellow townsman, Al Pink
erton, will speak.
There are never learned essays on the
questions OF the day,
But it says the farmers all are looking
for another raise in hay.
| see no glaring headlines of the last
election fight,
But l notice that Phelps Osborne mar
ries Lii Carbiss tonight;
And my thoughts somehow grow fonder
when the old folks name l see,
Telling that Reverend Nicholas was in
vited there to tea.
1t may be crude and homely, that little
country sheet,
And the makeup Of its pages may be
rather obsolete;
1t is damp when | unfold it, and the
print is sometimes blurred,
Yet it's always more than welcome, and
read it, every word,
And no reading to a city man a greater
joy can give
Than the little country weekly printed
back where used to live.

THE remaining public lands of
the United States are the herr
tage of all the people, and as such
should be preserved for home
builders. But under the protec-
ton of vicious land laws, land
grabbers and spectators are ac-
curing them at a rate which will
not require many years to wipe
the words public lands" off the
map. How long will the people
permit this spoliation of their
estate? The way to stop it-and
the only way-is to demand of
Congress the repeal of the Desert
Land Act, the Timber and Stone
Act, and the communication clause
of the Homestead law. Congress
can be made to act in the next
session if the labor organizations,
commercial bodies, farmers, bus
mess men and the people gener-
ally make a strong and united
demand for such action. Public
sentiment should be aroused on
this all-important question ere it is
too late.
