Jackson that the Ladies' Hermitage as- sociation purchased most of the relics.
 The Hermitage is built in the old CO., lonial style of architecture, with large verandas in front and rear, wide hall way with double rooms on either side, and wings supplementing these. The rooms are large and spacious, and are eleven in number, besides pantry, store room, kitchen, cellar, etc. On entering the hall, which is large and commodi- ous, one notes at first glance the picto- rial wall paper, which was ordered by General Jackson from Paris, France, when the house was rebuilt in 1886. It came by way of New Orleans up the Mississippi and Cumberland rivers. It represents the legend of Telemachus, and is that part of the story of the landing of Ulysses on the island of Ca- lypsc.
 Although Colonel Jackson stin has many valuable curios that belonged to the ''old hero,'' the Ladies' Hermitage association has succeeded in acquiring, either by purchase or presentation, no leess than one hundred and seventy-two sparate and distinct relics, varying in size and value from the celebrated De- catur silver service that General Jack son purchased from the widow of Com modore Deettur, down to the brass fender that has no value whatever, ex- cept that it was once the property of the generaL-New Orleans Times-Dem- ocrat.

TREASURES OF THE HERMITAGE.
The House in Which Andrew Jackson
 = Made His Home.

The House in Which Andrew Jackson
 = Made His Home.
 The Hermitage, the old home of Gen eral Andrew Jackson, has, through the efforts of the Ladies Hermitage associ- ation, been almost restored to the con- dition ir was in at the time of the death of General Jackson. In 1856 the state of Tennessee purchased from Andrew Jackson, Jr., for forty-eight thousand dollars the Hermitage farm, which then consisted of five hundred acres of land; and it was intended to offer it to the United States government for branch of West Point academy, but the civil war prevented the consummation of these plans. Tn 1889 the state legisla- ture of Tennessee conveyed to the La- dies Hermitage association, through & board of trustees, the house, tomb, all outhouses and twenty-five acres nf 1end to preserve, beautify and adorn, throughout all coming years, in man. ner most befitting the memory of the great man and commensurate with the gratitude of his countrymen."
 The association has put forth untiring efforts to raise the funds necessary to purchase the furniture and relics that were in the house at the time of General Jackson's death. It has inaueurated all kinds of enterprises, lectures, balls, con- certs, theatricals, etc, anything that would net money to it's treasury. The work of sustentation is aided by the states appropriation of fifty dollars a month, which pays the curator and does some little repair work. The associa- i tion has succeeded in putting the place in it's present good condition and in re- placing those pieces of relic furniture now to be seen in the house, and 1t is it's cherished plan to purchase all the relics and furniture and rehabilitate the house as it was in Jackson's life.
 1 The original Hermitage was built in 1 1904. It was made of logs, and part Of it is still standing Aaron Burr made his famous visit to the Hermitage in 1895, and was entertained in this log house. General Jackson was living in the log house when the battle of New Orleans was fought. in 1915, and re- i turned to this humble home the "con- quering hero" and idol of the nation. Ine present SlIe WdS SSleCIeQ ana DullC upon in 1879, and was of brick made on the place. Lafayette was entertained there in 1925. This house was burned in 1885 and rebuilt in 1886 upon the same
 foundation as it now stands. General Jackson died in 1S45, at the age of sev- enty-eight years, and was buried by the side of his wife in the tomb in the gar
 den.
 , In 1909 Andrew Jackson and his wife adopted the infant son of Severn Donel- son, a brother of Mrs. Jackson, and named him Andrew Jackson, Jr., and ! he bore the name and became the heir
 to all the estates. His son, Colonel An
 drew Jackson, after serving saIlantly as
 colonel of artillery in the Confederate army, returned to the Hermitage and l lived with his mother until the time of her death, and by her will inherited the household furniture, mementos and rel l ics of the old hero. It was from Colonel

nigh perfect. The effect of full organ, chorus and orchestra together on the words Wonderful Counsellor, the Mighty God,' after the metzoforte on His Name Shall be Called was stir ring and called forth a very long and spontaneous applause. Four encores were acknowledged by Professor Park CT, and there was almost an insistent demand for a repetition.
 In the mighty .Hallelujah" chorus the effect was almost beyond descrip- tion. The audience, which numbered nearly three thousand, rose to its feet and the chorus sang, the orchestra played and organ pealed. and Professor Parker directed all as though inspired
 nd the applause was deafening. This
 ested the singing capacity of the cho- us. and they proved themselves equal to the occasion. A New Haven audi ence never became so enthusiastic over chorus work as last night.
 The orchestra was, on the whole, sat isfactory. but especially 50 in the Pas toral Symphony" Their playing of this. was delicately superb, both in technique and in tonal effect. The shading, phrasing and all was most ar tistic. Most of their accompanying for the solo parts was admirable and well nigh faultless.
 This, the first concert of the new or ganization, was a success both finan- cially and nusically, and with such en. vironments and such encouragement il is safe to predice that the New Haven Oratorio society will become one of the most widely known organizations ir the country within the year.

 Marie Zimmerman has appeared sev- eral times here, and Ericsson Bushnell is an old favorite with New Haven au- diences. <.
 MT. Douty sings with beautiful re- flnement and polished phrasing. His rendition of Comfort Ye, My People" the opening aria, showed the capabili- ties of his voice and he became at once a favorite. While his work was very artistic, he showed want of proper breath control in the cadenzas.i In this aria he placed the standard very high and maintained it to the end. His up per work was surprisingly sweet and effective while there was a tedency to be somewhat gutteral on the lower notes. As a whole, Mr. Douty was one of the most acceptable tenors who has been in New Haven in years. He was most enthusiastically eneored after each solo.
 Miss Spencer for a young singer and without a very trying part to render did remarkably we'll. Her voice is rich in tirnbre, resonant and full, while not
 
 sion and interpretation that even in the spacious Woolsey hall was delightful Her several arias were splendidly exe- cuted and the audienced encered heart ily. Miss Spencer very feelingly ren- dered He Shall Lead His Flocks Like Shepherd" While Mrs. Zimmerman was for the most part quite satisfactory yet in sev- erai passages which demand much att tention she lacked the necessary warmth to make the execution perfect. In the aria ''Rejoice Greatly, o Daugh- ter of Zion;" the accompaniment was not up to the standard, and her failure to make the same impression as in the past was partly due to this. It might be suggested that Mrs. Zimmerman give her audience more recognition when she is the recipient of encores. Her inattention last night was marked to a degree, which does not set we'll with New Haveners.
 It seemed to be the consensus of opinion that Ericsson Bushnell was in splendid voice last night, and he was in consequence enthusiastically receiv- l ed. This was esneciallv so after the rpcita tive 'why ID the Nations?" MT. Rnshuelps colnratura work was better than many tio1ns in the mast and was l most evce1lent for a voice so heavy. His lower notes were however not as profound or as sonorous as in years past. .. r Probably the chorus reached it's greatest climax in "For Unto Us a Child is Born" The rendition was well
