TO TAKE EXAMINATIONS.
George A. Hewlett to Try for Maya
 Academy.

George A. Hewlett to Try for Naval
 Academy.
 George A. Hewlett Of this city, son of George T. Hewlett, secretary of the board of education, has been notified to take the principals examination for appointment as midshipman in the United States naval academy. The advance Of Hewlett from third place to first in a list of eligibles for ap- pointment is made possible by the death of Samuel Howard Baldwin and the other changes that have occurred in the list of alternates. He becomes the principal without further appoint ment from Congressman Sperry and his appointment depends only upon his ability to pass the examination.
 In examinations held at Middletown Edward w. Putney of Milford was first alternate. Putney having since receiv- ed the appointment to West Point and havng passed successful examnation he intends. he says, to resign as alter nate to the naval academy and go to West Point instead This leaves Hew- lett in first place.
 It is probable that new list of a1- ternates will be required with the al- vancement of Hewlett to the place of the principal, although no arrange ments for such examinations have yet been made.

The Alaska papers express surprise over the fact that 7Skookum Jim, a wealthy Indian, one of the discoverers of the Klondike recently bought a piano for his wife and children. It is a long way, indeed, from the clanor of a tomtom to the sweet tones of a piano; but from a blanket Indian to Skookum Jim the way is longer and more diffi- cult. I observed him closely for four days coming up the coast, and I think he is more civilized than some of the white men saw, and much more re- |ligious. He is merchant and a mere operator in one of the Yukon gold dis tricts.
 Alaska is great home missionary field, and there are many heroic mis- |sionaries here. Duncan and his work lat |. .Metlakahtia have been heralded to the world and he is worthy of his need |of praise. He introduced a new social Iorder among his Indians, and raised them from barbarism to Christianity But there are two other men in Alaska whose works praise them. One is Bish- |op Rowe of the Episcopal church. Dur ling the winter he made tour over the ice in Northwestern Alaska, where the temperature registered 60 below zero, visiting mission stations and establish ling missions. Recently he purchased
 property for @ church in Panama, and
 opened a mission there. The other is
 Dr. Hall Young, superintendent of
 Presbyterian missions in Alaska. He too, was in the northwestern part of the territory in the winter, accompanied by his daughter, an accomplished violinist, who assists him in evangelistic work.
 People have gone there in quest of gold,
 but these men are there to tell of '.the lpearl of great price" Alaska owes
 much to the churches represented by
 these men. for their efforts to carry the
 gospel to it's pincer settlements and to
 conserve the forms of civilized life.-
 The Rev. John Parsons in New York
 Christian Advocate.

 The minutes of the last meeting were read by Secretary O'Rourke and were accepted by the meeting. The new business was then taken Up, the first matter before the meeting being the resignation of Dan Shannon, superin-
 tendent of unlpires, which was tender- ed last night. The resignation was ac- |cepted by the directors, and D. Rear don, of Holyoke, was appointed his suc- cessor. The list of men eligible as um- |pires, from which MT. Reardon will choose his regular staff of umpires for the season, was prepared as follows: Charles Kennedy, Hartford; Gus Mer- trick, New Haven; Stephen Lambert, |Unionville; Daniel Mccormick, Hol- |yoke, and T.

 A motion was made by the represent lative of the New Haven club to have local team, remitted. The meeting voted to sustain the fine. The fine was Incurred in the game with Springfield some time ago for disputing decision of the umpire. Hayward has clean record, but the fine was sustained for the sake of precedent

The prevailing opinion, how | ever, was that the club should remain at Worcester. The finances were thought to be on a, sound basis, and the Ioutlook for the team for the remainder of the season very much improved. The
 poor attendance at the games in Wor:
 cester so far this season was attributed l to the rainy weather.

MUSIC STUDENTS CONCERT
W0oLsEY HALL FILLED BY EN- THUSIASTS FROM MANY CITIES.
Successful Artistic Event Enjoyed by
 All Present-Originai Compositions Played or Conducted by Composers Classical Numbers Rendered in

Played or Conducted by Composers
 Classical Numbers Rendered in
 Finished Manner.
 One of the most artistic musical af- fairs of. the closing season was the an-
 nual concert of the students of the de-
 partrnent of music of Yale university given in Woolsey hall last night. The
 great auditorium was filled with the
 exception of the first few rows on the floor which were too close to the mu-
 sicians to enable persons in that part
 of the hall to fully enjoy the music.
 The members of the Yale faculty and
 their wives occupied the center of the gallery. The gathering In it's forma- tion indicated the widespread interest
 that is shown in this musical event, for not only were all classes of New Haven society represented but there
 were many people from other cities present.
 The first number on the programme was the prelude in c sharp of S.
 Rachmaninoff It was arranged by the class in orchestration and the result was most pleasing. R. A. Haslett Smith acted as conductor. Under his direction the renditione of the prelude was excellent.
 One of the most Impressive num- bers was the andante for string orches- tra and organ by the class in free com position. R. A. Haslett Smith played and Seth Daniels Brigham conducted. The tone produced by the combination and opposition of the great organ and the stringed instruments was very eff fective. esi@ a
 Frank Earnest rendered the adagio and presto of Mendellsohn in a finished manner. Miss Hendrika Troostwyk played Charles De Beriot's violin con- certo in G major. The students in vio-
 lin revelled in Bach's aria on the G
 string in style that won much ap- plause and was indicative of the high standard of the class.
 | Miss Mabel Edna Clark, as pianist,
 carried off well her difficult part in the concerto for piano and orchestra of l Mile. c. Chaninade. Edmund Serene
 Finder played Bachs fantasia in G
 minor on the organ and at the close received the subdued but continued ap- i plause of the audience that had been carried away by the master music. One of the most interesting numbers was Herbert Ansley Strout's fugue in
 c minor for the organ. It was play ed by the composer himself and was much appreciated. Miss Mae Louise l Stanley rendered Mendelssohn's violin | concerto in E minor in three parts,
 allegro motto apasionato, andante and ! allegro motto vivace. Miss Antoin- /, cite Brett played the first movement Iof Edward Griegg's piano concerto in A minor.
 | The concluding number was a concert
 overture in E minor, composed by Ed ward Bailey Birge. MT. Birge led the
 orchestra and his composition as pre- scented was excellent. The concert was the most successful yet held and the
 great interest displayed by the general public was proof of the position that the department of music has taken in representing It's particular branch of
 university effort.
