CONCERT UNDER DIFFICULTIES.

New Haven Symphony Orchestra's
 Evening Concert Entails Sacrifices.
 The single evening concert of the sea- son planned by the New Haven Sym phony orchestra, and which is to take place next Tuesday evening, is always given with considerable sacrifices on the part of all concerned. The musi- clans. without exception, are very busy men, whose evening ng4engagements are most important. They must all furnish lsubstitutes for these regular engage |ments, all of which entails no little add ed expense to each man. So, too, in
 the case of the New York musicians, a number of whom are always especially engaged for every concert we have here. These men come from the New York Philharmonic and the Cymphony, and are in every instance the best or chestra players in New York. They, too, come under more than usual dif1- culties.
 It can readily be seen, therefore, that for an evening concert much extra pains and expense are entailed. How ever, the New Haven Symphony orches- tra is. anxious that it's busy citizens who cannot come to the other concerts be-
 cause of business engagements shall
 know what the orchestra is doing and so this one evening event.
 It is to be brilliant programme and a very noted soloist in the person of
 Madame Antoinette Szumowska Adam owski has been engaged. This great
 pianist is Pole, compatriot of her teacher, Ignace Paderewski. the famous pianist, and his only acknowledged pu- pill She is famed as the highest ex-

How Food Headed Of the InsidiOus
 Disease.

The happy wife of a good old-fash- toned Michigan farmer says:
 "In the spring of 1902 was taken sick-a general breaking down, as it wsre. I was excessively nervous, could moi sleep well at night, my food seem- ad to do me no good, and I was so weak I could scarcely walk across the room.
 "The doctor said my condition was due to overwork and close confinement, and that he very much feared that consumption would set in. For several months I took one kind of medicine after another, but with no good effect in fact, I seemed to grow worse
 mThen I determined to quit all medi- cines. give up coffee and see what Grape-Nuts would do for me. l began to eat Grape-Nuts with sugar and cream and bread and butter three times day.
 The effect was surprising! l began to gain flesh and strength forthwith, my nerves quieted down and grew nor mally steady and sound, sweet sleep came back to me. In six weeks time l discharged the hired girl, and began to do my own housework for family of six. This was two years ago, and l am doing it still, and enjoy it.

As there Is no one for her to teach, she remains as amlsslon- ary. and Sandy the head of the miners, gives her the name of the Wldder
 The Danites, an organization sworn to take revenge on the Mormon church, has dwindled to but two survivors in that region, and they have traced the children of one of their victims to Cal- ifornia. Nancy Williams and her broth CT are supposedly murdered by thls band, but Nancy recovers, assumes male attire and becomes a miner under thee name of Billy Piper, but falls i'll love with Sandy unknown to him. The entire plot surrounds the ''widder' and Billy.
 The company is an unusually strong one and is headed by Blanca west, whose handling of the difficult role or Billy Piper was complete success ana won for her the unstlnted applause or the large house. Hallet Thompson as Sandy, who wins the widder, also gave clever interpretation of the part ana was repeatedly applauded, Other mem hers of the company who pleased the audience with their good work were Il. Ogden Crane. as the Parson; William Kilt as Judge, D. A.

nA wIFE,s sECRET ,

The central role in Spencer and Aborn's emotional drama, A Wife's Secret" presents a character that wins every lover of human nature and heart interest in the drama. Mona Madison, the wife of clergyman, is a character that demands the highest art and ver- satiliay in the portrayal of The role. We see her in the first act, a young, guileless bride, almost a chfld-wife, un- initiated to the ways of the world-just sweet, artless, simple girl though a mother, happy in the love of her hus- band ad child Changed in a moment by the scorching tongue of scandal, her character assailed, she becomes all that she was not before-a woman of pur- pose and stamina, rising to heights of dramatic power that one would never hay eexpected from young ingenous girl Her battles against calumny and persecution show that there was a beautiful strength of character and womanhood hidden away in her breast, which only needed the diversity of life to bring it out. It is one of the strong est characters ever drawn in drama, and one that wins and holds the heart of every man, woman and child who sees the play. There are many other interesting characters in the play, and the comedy and humorous interests are plentifully present. The scenic produc- tion is full of realism and beauty, and the cast contains a list of names that stamp the mark of artistic merit upon the attraction. At the New Haven Nheater Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day. January 15, 16 and IT, and at the Wednesday matinee.
