and at the end of that period again came before the public for the second time. The concert was an unqualified success The voices blended in perfect harmony, and the various songs sung were rendered in such a master1y and artistic manner that left no doubts in the minds of those who heard them that the quartet was from that night on destined to be one of New Ravens successful and musical organizations The quartet was composed of Frank Maurer, tenor soloist, of Christ P. E. church; Thomas H. Williams, of Trin- ny F. P. church; Harry Hunie, of Christ church, and Charles Uran, bass soloist of Christ church, as the Men delssohn quartet. The organization continued for five years, during which time they appeared successfully in al- most every city and town In the state.
 Ten years ago the name was changed from that of Mendelssohn to that of the Temple quartet, being engaged by Hiram lodge No. 1, F & A. M Their work in Masonic circles gained them name and fame, not only throuehout this state, but also in New York and other places. Since the organization of the quartet, fifteen years ago, there has only been one change in the per sonnel of the organization, which was brought about by the removal of Mr. Hunie to Chicago Mr Hunie's place as first bass was taken by MT. Doran The latter went to New York and his place was filled in the quartet by Frank Edgar. MT. Edgar resigned on account of his going on the road, and his place was taken by Rufus Shep- herd. We regret very much that Messrs. Edgar and Doran are unable to be with us this evening, but we rejoice that the original four are privi. legged to meet together after so many years, and as time flies and one after another is compelled to resign from the active duties of the quartet, let us hope that younger men, such as oul friend Shepherd, will come forward and fill the breach, and that the name and fame of the Temple quartet vii continue with the same success that has characterized its career during tho past fifteen years of it's existence ir ] the city of New Haven. and that fl will also live and prosper for the glor, l and benefit of old Hiram No l, F. & A.

fy the wishes of the neighboTs in the zone of the proposed erection or shall the school house be done in plain red brick like the factories2 These are the questions that the finance board will talk about to-day at it's meeting since it did not have the time to do so yesterday afternoon because of a press of other business.
 Colonel Isaac M Ullman of the spe cial committee on school buildings of the board of education said that the total cost of the school house, if mot tied brick was used would be s93,5SS as against $S9,O31 if the other variety of brick were employed.
 Attorney Anthony Spinnello appear ed at the meeting to represent the cit izens and advocated the use of mottled brick
 Alderman Henry H Townshend said after Colonel Ullman and MT Spinnel- To had retiredt
 Where have they got their idea about yellow brick being so hand Isome?"
 The only mottled brick in use at the school house" said George w. Lewis, is at the Strong school"
 well, that isn't fly specked any" observed Mr Townshend.
 No" said MT. Lewis, thoughtfully That's yellow brick"
 Does the board of education say anything about mottled brick?" asked MT Townshend.
 "No," said Henry Herze, Tt is just the people of the neighborhood"
 The amount available for the use of the board of education for this inn proyement, and which is secured by the bond issue of $10G,000, is $77,- I63536, the balance between that and $1OO,O00 represented by the bonds not Iyet sold, having already been paid to the three owners of the site in Greene street.
 In order to make an appropriation Iso that all of the expenses would be included in it. it would be necessary for the board of finance to make a transfer of funds not now under it's control All of the funds that could be applied to this undertaking other than those derived from loans guaran- teed by the bonds are now tied up in appropriations for other departments.
 The transfer would come under the direction of the new board January I 1, and there was no power to make appropriations after January 1 and that should properly come before the new body, Mayor studley remarked.
 Colonel Ullman said that there was considerable objection to the school house being built so close to the street line and in order to prevent this land in the rear of the present site would have to be acquired. This would mean an expenditure of $1,500 more for the land
 From the point of real estate deal CTS said Colonel Ullman, the land is worth $1, 200, but from a citizens view point that is, citizen who wants to sell the city land 1t is worth $1,5OO.n
 The citizen is a good citizen said the colonel. laughingly, until the Roard of education wants his land; then he Is bad citizen"

the people and the hands of the admin istration were held up in the work which 1t was doing. On the other hand, the men and the interests, which were the subject of attack, were not idle. They had their partisans- guilty and innocent. The guilty, of course, wished to defeat the administration by any means. The innocent were those who had become involved with trust magnates in legitimate business tran sections, and to whom the attitude of the administration seemed one general opposition to the whole business com- munity.
 Rate Bill Moral Progress.
 One of the great manifestations, one df the monuments in this moral prog ress, was the passage of the railroad rate bill It met the opposition of many of the railroads, not because they were in sympathy with the trusts, for | think they, in many respects, had been more sinned agaist than shining, but because they resented that close control, that rigid supervision which the disclosure as to their past transac- tions revealed. The fight made by the administration has been g noteworthy one. And now after victory has been won, after there has been introduced into the hearts of all men and especi- ally of these leaders, these trust man agers. and financial opponents of the administration, the fear of the law-the panic comes on.
 Sympathy for Innocent Sufferers.
 The trust magnates solidly en- trenched with great financial re- sources, are not the ones who suffer the most from it. It is the men who have had no such unlawful or fruitful method Of making money, the great body of business men and wage earn CTS. This is the feature of the panic that arouses ones deepest sympathy and regret.
 The agents and sympathizers and de- lenders of the trusts and other inno- cent but mistaken, now rush forward to place the blame of the present con- Editions upon the administration. They seek to use the panic as an agrument of giving up the moral victory which has been won. Apparently they would take 8 retrograde step back to the con ditions that existed five and six and

 Much Fame.

A complimentary dinner was ten dered MT. Harry Hunie at the resi- dence of William Charles Wran, 32O Elm street, last night The house was artistically decorated in Oriental style and everything savored of the burn ing lands of the Arabian desert, The walters were costumed in true Eastern fashion, and the guests were ushered into the Arabian Nights palace by at tendants who we'll represented Eastern ways and manners. The affair was given bg MT. Wran as a compliment to Mir, EIunie and also in honor of the coming together after many years of the four original members of the "Tem- pie quartet"
 The dinner was served at 10 o'clock, when the following sat down at the table: Harry E. Hunie, Thomas H. Williams, Frank Maurer, Charles Wran Rufus Shepherd, Robert Light bourn, Frank Thompson, George Cro- well and Elmer H. Pardee.
 During the evening the quartet rem dered the following selections;

 Duets and songs were also sung by Messrs H.unie, Shepherd, Maurer and Wran.
 Frank Thompson was postmaster and complimentary remarks were made during the evening by all of those present. Mir. Wran referred at length to the organization and work of the Temple quartet. In part, Mir, Wran spoke as follows:
 The Temple quartet first saw the light of day in the fall of 1891 when it was brought together by Mr, Thomas H Williams for the purpose of car rying out a benefit concert in aid of the Ewen Mcintyre Athletic associa- tion Little did the members and Mir Williams think on that occasion that 1t was the beginning of successful musical career that was destined to last for many years. The quartet on their initial appearance before the pub lie made such decided hit that the members agreed to make the oreaniza- ton permanent one and it waS launched under the name of the Men. delssohn quartet They placed them. selves in the hands of Professor Bonny for year, after which 1t continued under the direction of NIr.

Punishment, Not Revenge,

It was not proposed that the foreign trade which inured to the benefit of the whole country should be struck down; but it was determined that those who were making the statutes a dead letter should be subject to re- straint by injunction processes and punishment by indictment-not as a matter of revenge, nor to gratify the exercise of power, but to eradicate systematic 1awlessness from our busi- ness system. In this struggle the ad- ministration has been greatly aided by the popular sympathy awakened by revelations as to breaches of trust by the managers of some of the great insurance companies; by revelations as to mismanagement of the internal af- fairs of great railroad companies. by the disclosure as to the enormous amount of rebates extorted from the railroad companies by these trusts! md by the constituencies stock job bn'g and over issue of bonds and stock shown to have occurred in the man agement of our great corporations.

but the injury to credit and the blow which has been struck at the normal business progress has more or less permanenee. Values have shrunk. plans for new and increased business enterprises must be abandoned. and liquidation and housecleaning take place, The business men who have had to stand the strain who have seen their fondest hopes. crushed, and have only been able to come through the crisis with the greatest effort and most substantial financial loss, are naturally sore and depressed, They believe. and generally they are right that this dis aster has come upon them without fault of theirs. It is unjust to them. No matter how many symptoms of the coming trouble there may have been. panics always come with a shock and a tremendous surprise and disappoint- ment And hardly is the panic over but a fierce discussion arises as to the cause of it's coming With various mo- tives, editors and public speakers rush to the front to fasten upon some thing or some one the responsibility for what has happened. It is entirely natural that, in the condition of mind in which the suffering business men are left by the great strain and trial, such sugges- tons should receive marked attention and that the more definitely the per sonality of the seapegoat can be fixed 1 the more pleasure it gives the victims of the catastrophe.

Success.
 The basis of their original success and the maintenance of their power was the violation of the Sherman anti trust law and the interstate commerce law and for a time both laws were but dead letters upon the statute books of the United States. The pur- pose of the administration of MT. Roosevelt was to make those men. however powerful and wealthy, to know that the laws upon the statute books were living things and must be oheged. It was not proposed that the legitimate enterprises that were car ried on with capital of those men should be destroyed.
