 One thing, you will all so out at the end of this year in consciousness that no one can say there has been anything dishonest in the government of the city during the past year.
 Next year there will be new ad- ministration, and I think 1t will be much like this only a little better. Each administration as we go on should be better The cut will be completed and the tearing up of the streets will be less. The streets should be in better condition than in years next year.
 President Johnson was next called upon and said Some of us are going out of the board, but I think 1t is up to us not to go out with the idea that we are through with the city govern ment We should continue to be in- terested in each successive board. It has been one of the most pleasant ex- periences of my life to be a member of the board. I have gained great deal of experience and formed great many of the best acquaintances.

MESSIAH A SUCCESS Brilliant Concert by the Ora torio Society at Woolsey
 Hall.
CONDUCTING OF PARKER
Professor Apparently Pleased at Results-orchestra
 Does Fine Work.

Fortunate indeed is the community among whose people differences in. years, social status, prosperity andtoc- crpation are swept away by one great and common desire to give united ut terance in Song to the primeval feelings in the Heart of mankind that must foreveP lie beyond the limits of any othG medium of expression.
 AThe New Haven oratorio society q ave concert before a full house at Foolsey hall last night that will live long in the memory of those fortunate enough to be present
 Never before has the society done so swell-there was volume, spirit, tender ness, good judgment and artistic fin Ash to satisfy the most exacting. The Eoloist sang some numbers betteS than others, but nevertheless the Average was very high.
 The orchestra was sympathetic in an Unusual degree and added greatly to tpe fnjsitf-e5ff e5f Iii the pelfformance In the oteSeure the higness and steadiness of the violins was a very prominent fea- ture and the background furnished by the organ was positively inspiring.
 The tenor, Daniel Beddoe, sang his numbers more uniformly good than did any of the others. His voice was clear cut, very good in quality and al- ways under perfect control. It is doubtful if a more satisfactory tenor has appeared in New Haven within the last ten years
 Miss Edith Castle. the alto, did not reach her artistic equilibrium until her third number, Shall We Feed His Flock?" but that she sang in an entrancingly beautiful way. It was probably the finest gem of the con cert.
 Tn her first two numbers she seem ed to be trying to fathom the various elements of the song with her intellect instead of trusting herself with bird like confidence to her feelings, and the result was not a happy one.
 Miss Marie stoddard carried the aud fence with storm from the beginning with her splendid voice and artistic temperament, but unfortunately, she failed to rise to her former heights just where she should have surpassed all previous records. T Know that My Redeemer Liveth lacked the vital fer~ X vor and intensity which we have found in 1t of old
 MT Tom Daniel, the bass singer, fill cd his place in a highly satisfactory manner.
 Professor Parker, the man who has done so much for New Haven, and, in deed, for the whole world, conducted the performance in an extremely able manner, and at the end of the concert I saw genial smile light up his face-- no doubt he was pleased, so were we, very pleased and very proud-proud of Professor Parker and the Oratorio so- \ ciety--proud of the artistic level att Namined, and we are proud it has taken years >to reach that level. because that shows deteTmination to succeed in a constantly Increasing measure.
 1t shows 4hat the members are full of faith, hope and 'get there" that they constitute the yeast the ferment that will raise every true New Havener above the station where first planted

LONDON ON THIRD TERM
Newspapers Consider Roosevelts Re
 Election Doubtful if Nominated.

Election Doubtful if Nominated.
 London, Dec. 12.--President Roose- velts declaration that he would not stand for renomination is treated as a momentous matter in the columns of the London newspapers. The editorials for the large part consider that he has taken a wise decision, on the ground that although he is the most striking personality in the political field at the present moment the fact that he has alienated powerful sup porters by his anti-trust policy has made his reelection doubtful. They consider it unlikely that President Roosevelt's successor would pursue an antitrust policy with such vigor.
 The chances of the next president of the United 'tates being 8 democrat also are canvassed, and the possibility of MT. Roosevelt's again being can didate in 1912

SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE
Kuropatlzin Declares Early Assault Would Have Been Successful.

St. Petersburg, Dec, 12-General Kuropatkin's testimony at the trial of Lieutenant-G General Stoessel and other army officers charged with needlessly surrendering Port Arthur to the Jap anese made a sensation. He declared that the Japanese could have taken Port Arthur by assault in the early days of the war. The defenses were then so incomplete, General Kuropat- kin said. that the fortress must have fallen at the first vigorous attack, But the slowness of the Japanese and the resistance made by the army in the field gave the Russians time to impro- wise defense works which had with stood the Japanese for months. Gen. eral Kuropatkin's evidence was favor able to General Stoessel

covered.
A bale of cotton belonging to
our fellow townsman Mr.. w.
Med. Brown was stolen from
his river plantation last We'd
nesday night. A negro named r.
M. Walker was lodged in Jail
Monday night, charged with the
theft. He is said to have
carried the cotton off in a
one.horse wagon and delivered it
the next day to Mr.. z. B. Lynn,
of Pleasant Hill township, who
has a lien on his crop for ad-
vances. Mr.. Lynn had no reason
whatever to suspect that the bale
was stolen, and when 1t was
ldenltjed Sunday by Mr.. Bell,
manager OF Mr.. Browns planta-
ton, he promptly surrendere d
it. Mr.. Lynn had written the
negro a couple of letters urging
him to settle, and had received
one in reply, stating that he
would pay up soon. Mr.. Lynn
was not surprised therefore when
Walker brought him some cotton,
which he naturally thought was
a part of the negro's crop.
