Of six thousand samples of food pro ducts of sixty-one different kinds ex- amined during the last year at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, more than one-third were found to be adulterated, according. to the ninth report, just issued. Certain staple articles, such as flour, sugar, cheese, condensed milk, and tea, says the report, have not been, found adul- terated in this state. Most forms of parently. as far as health is concerned, but are frauds and consist for the most part of cheap and worthless make weights added to increase profits or meet competition in price.

JOSEPH HoFMAsN COMING.
win Play in wooIsey Hall Wednesday .5@~ Evening.

Js I 2
 One of the musical events of New Ha- ven's winter season will be the recital next Wednesday evening of Joseph Hoffman, the distinguished European pianist. He will play in Woolsey hall under the auspices of the Yale depart ment of music, which has brought so many artists to the city nthe last two years.
 Hoffman, it will be remembered, was a wonder child of the piano, compara- ble only to the marvellous Mozart, who over a century before astonished Eu- rope with his performances on the piano. That was fifteen years ago and Hoffman has grown from the child pro- dizzy into the mature artists with no living superior. Hoffman is the latest exponent of a school in which may be classed d'Albert and Rosentf1al. These two named artists concern themselves particularly with the orchestral devel- .opinent of plano tone and strive to make it more eloquerit9 Hoffmann has all of the technique of Rosenthal and the wonderful insight of d'Albert and COIuulheS WILL ll SVlIletIlIlS or lIle eilOr- nous tone which characterized his mas teacher -Rubinstein; Hoffmann has been having tremendous success in his present tour of America, and it is most fortunate that he has been obtain- ed for one of the Woolsey hall con- certs. No great pianist has played here in recital for two years, and the interest of the people of the city is nat urally very great. It is not yet known just what he will play here on We'd nesday, but the programme will be ready for publication in a day or two. He has an enormous repertoire at this command and whatever he selects will be good. .ss----.4-.44si 4.4s..

POORLY PAID TEACHERS.
SOME OF THEM RECEIVE LESS
 THAN $4 fl WEEK.

Right Here in Connecticut, TOO-Hun-
 dreds Paid at the Rate of From S4 to
 s6-Higher Standard of Training
 Desirable.
 Hartford. Feb 22.-The Connecticut State Board of Education has issued the report of the education and publi- cation committee of the Connecticut branch Of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, showing certain conditions of public school education in Connecticut. The committee says that a spirit of unrest and change pervades the com mon school system of the State and about two-fifths of the teachers have been less than two years in their pres ent positions. No sooner does a teach CT in the country schools win reputa- tion for special excellency than some city school official tempts her away by the offer of a large salary. There are in the State 1864 public school teachers who have neither normal nor college diplomas, who have had officially a common school education, 42 who re- ceiye less than $4 a week., 527 who re- ceive, between $4 and s6 a, week, and there are 527 schools which are still ungraded.
 The committee cites one town where 82 pupils are taught by girls with no professional training and another town with 108 children being taught by seven teachers, of whom only one has attend ed a normal school, The committee favors the abolition of district school management and a new law requiring a higher standard of training for Con- necticut school teachers. &

WANTS MAYOR FOR FATHER
Stranger Seeks to Marry Daughter,
Though Chief Executive Has
No Such Relative

When a man humbly pleads to be al
lowed to pay addresses TO another
mans daughter and the other man has
no daughter to whom the addresses
may be paid, what's the answer?
Mayor McAleer sat in his sanctum
yesterday morning with his brogans
propped up on the official desk and
with clouded brow considered this
weighty question. The more he pom
dered the worse the tangle grew and
with a sigh of despair at ever solving
the problem he tore up letter he had
been reading and threw the shreds in
the waste basket.
Theodore Soensson. whose chirog-
raphy suggested a greater familiarity
with the pick and shovel than with
the pen, had written Mayor McAleer
to get his permission to send violets
and bonbons to the mayors only

matrimony. But the mayor has no
daughter and was compelled to deny
the petition.

Druggists Gasoline Lighting Plant Ex-
plodes.
Devils Lake, N. D., July l. - At 8
o'clock last night, gasoline explo-
sion practically wrecked the building
occupied by B. ]. Ness as drug store.
The building was lighted by gasoline
plant and the gasoline apparently
leaked from barrel in the cellar.
Richard Daley, postmaster of Devils
Lake, who owns the building, lighted a
match in the cellar for the purpose of
examining some repairs being made
when the explosion occurred. The
whole front of the store and part OF
the roof were blown for hundreds of
feet, totally destroying Ness $4,000
stock of drugs, damaging the fixtures
to the extent of 81 900, and the build
ing $4,000. All losses are covered by
insurance, permission to use gasoline
having been granted by the insurance
companies. BY miracle no one was
seriously injured. Postmaster Daley's
hand was cut and his face and hair
burned. Wesley Whitford, farmer
who was eating ice cream. was taken
from the debris He was little in
iurcd. Ness and his clerks were slight
~ singed by the flames.
