EARTHOITA.KE

EARTHQUAKE REIdTNESCENCE.
 The Rev. Dr. George e. Adams, pas tor of the First Congregational church. San Francisco, met twelve of the Hart ford pastors, Monday afternoon. He related the exigencies which followed the fire in April resulting from the earthquake, Five Congregational churches were lost in the earthquake and fire and the First church is the only one which is as yet being rebuilt in permanent shape. Although many of the members of the church are scat tered through the country, some of them never to return to San Francisco, others are heping all they can with their incomes much reduced. The me- chanics have more ready money than almost any other class. The cost of building is very great. the bricklayers receiving $8 per day of eight hours and the hodcarriers $5 per day. Dr. Adams paid a tribute to the fire insurance companies of Hartford, saying that in every case they paid up the losses in full. It is expected that offerings will be made in most of the Congregational churches throughout the country to help put the churches on their feet again.

MADAME LOUISE HOMER.
TO GITE RECTAL IN WooLsEF
 HALL

Metropolitan Opera House Singer Here
 on Thursday, Evening, November
 18th.
 Madame Louise Homer. one of the Metropolitan opera house stars, will give a song recital in Woolsey hall on Thursday evening, November Is. This will be the first of the artists concerts. a series instituted by the university de- partment of music three years ago, as supplementary concerts to the sym phonies."
 Two artists concerts were given last season, it will be remembered, song recital by signor campanari and a piano recital by Adele Aus der One.
 An attempt was made last year as we'll as this year before to get Madame Homer here for a recital, but the dates could not be arranged as this singers contract with Mir. Conreid at the Met 1SPo1+S@n 1PoAA arVuSb n6SlnS WlLn the opening of the opera season, Novem- Der 26.
 After the date the biggest of the Met ropolitan stars never sing outside the opera house, so it was a great piece of good luck getting Madame Homer here for this season before the season began.
 Madame Homer's programme will be made up of English, German, French, and Italian songs, and will be alto- gether an ideal recital program.
 As has been customary from the tn- ception Of these artists concerts, all who have season tickets to the sym- phony concerts or are holders of uni versity extension center tickets. may get tickets for this recital at reduced prices.
 This brings the price of seats with- in the reach of all and makes the art ists concerts among the most popular of the Woolsey hall concerts.
 This will be the first appearance in New Haven of this eminent mezZo-so- prano. Her program will soon be an- nounced, also the date for the sale of seats

That the deep chord struck by The Awakening of Helena Richie is still vii brating is shown by the fact that the Harpers are this week issuing still an- other large edition of this masterpiece.
 A new English edition is announced by the Hampers of Gray Mist, the new novel by the author of The Nartyrdom of an Empress, showing that this book exerts the same appeal abroad that it does on this side of the Atlantic
 Elinor CAyn, that clever woman whose new novel, Beyond the Rocks, |" was recently published by the Hampers, and who is already so well known by her Visits and Vicissitudes of Eliza beth and Evangeline, has instantly at tracted wide attention in England to this new story of English fashionable life, just as she has attracted attention there by her stories in the past.
 Her indisputaole intimacy with the highest society and with all it's ways is particularly dwelt upon by the English reviewers, and some even go the length of asserting that all of her characters are from real life. Should this be the case it would be vastly interesting to know who stood for the delineations in Beyond the Rocks"
 The average Englishman gives what may be termed actual and awed devo- ton to what he calls the "Thunderer" otherwise known as the London Times. And it is therefore the more interesting to find this awesome 'Thunderer" admiringly discussing Jo- seph Conrad's latest book, "The Mirror of the Sea" recently published by the Harpers. 1t declares in the course of a long and laudatory review that never before have such varied qualities been united in writer of the sea as are found in MT. Conrad; and. referring in particular to this latest book, it speaks of passages of insight and poetry, such as could have come only from the mind of this most original and indiYid- ual writer"
 As Conrad, though a Pole by birth, long since became an Englishman by adoption, he must be particularly pleased to receive such praise from such a source.

sURETYCoMPANY SUES ANOTHER

SUREI I1COMPAN4 SUED ANO4 O4I1Ih
 A suit was returned to the superior court yesterday in behalf of the Amer ican Surety company against the Paci- f1c Surety company to recover on a judgment which the city of New Haven secured against the plaintiff some time ago.
 The case grew out of the failure of the National Steam Economizer com pany to carry out the contract on the new high school building. The com- pany failed and the city had to make other arrangements and then sued the American Surety company, holders of the bond of the steam company, for damages and won the case. The Amer ican Surety company had reinsured the bond with the Pacific Surety company and now sues to recover from the latter concern, the $7,5OO awarded to the city.

When l Was a Girl in Italy" the third volume of Children of Other Lands Series" by Marietta Anlbrosi, is published by I4othrop, Lee and Shepard Company, Boston.
 This is a revised and improved edi- ton of a book formerly issued under another title and at a much higher price It was recognized as just the book to be rewritten and placed in the Children of Other Lands Series,' the great advantage of which consists in having each book descriptive of foreign child life written by some one who has experienced that which is related, and is at the same time thoroughly fanil- jar with American life, so that he can tell his story in the way that shall be of most value to our young people. The author, Marietta Ambrosi, was born in Tyrol having an American born mother of Italian descent, and a Veronese father. Her entire girlhood was spent in Brescia and other cities of northern Italy, and in early woman hood she came with her family to America, Her story gives a most graphic account of the industries, so- cial customs, dress, pleasures and reli- gious observances of the Italian com mon people, those who truly represent the life of a country. In her childhood she helped make lint for wounded sol diers in the Croatian war of 1859, and later on, with her companions, did all in her power to aid the patriots under Garibaldi, the account of which is very interesting. The chaptere describing the culture of silk-worms, and those describing church festivals are also of special interest. No one can read the book without vastly increased knowledge of the actual life of an in teresting country that is contributing more. and more toward the building up of America. As a school library book, it will be a most efficient aid to teach CTS in winning the attention of the ever increasing number of pupils of Italian birth or origin, and will be of great in- terest and value to all others as well. The book is well illustrated. Price sev- eptu-f1Ua nantc
