 at Trinity M. F. Church.

The Princess.' a song cycle, the music for which was written by Charles Villiers Stanford was given last evening at the Trinity M. F. church by the quartet of Center church.
 This work has attracted much at tention in the music world and worth fly for its dainty bit, and was given by the quartet last night with the most finished taste and ineness. The Sweet and Low" Tears, Idle Tears and Home They Brought Her War rior Dead" were perhaps the most ad- mired of all the numbers. but to pick out the best would be hard matter.
 The solo portion of the program was delightful, every number splendid The playing of Alfrido Fasano, the young violoncelist, who has lately come to New Haven, was enthusiastic ally encored. MT. Fasana has a won derful ability and it Is hoped an op- portunity to hear him again will pre- sent itself soon. The aria Rolling in Foaming Pillows" from The Crea- tion," was interesting at this time particularly, and MT. Avis did justice to the number "The Rosary" and "Armorer's Song" from Robin Hood" were also fine. Mrs. Robbins sang charmingly as ever, and the "Adieu Forest" from Jeanne d'Arc called forth ringing applause, as did Miss Roberts singing of Cans Duct Splendida" from Professor Parker'S Flora Novissima" Mir Moyle ended this part of the program with three delightfully."- rendered songs, among them Sally in Our Alley" which MT Movie does beautifully.
 The concert was one of the most en' ioyable given by local talent for many day. The members of the quarte are: Mrs. F. O. Robbins, sorSano Miss Margaret Roberts contralto; MT Wallace Moyle, tenor; MT. George p Avis, bass. The assisting artist, Al fredo Fasano, violoncelist.
 The proceeds will go to the carpe fund of the church.

John Speh and his brother, Hermann Speh, returned to New Haven last
 right after a three weeks trip to Cuba. Throughout the three weeks the wealth. CT was of the best and the Spehs en- joyed it to its fullest extent.

 The voyage to Cuba was made on the Merida and every day the weather was of the best. Four days after the ves- sel left New York Cuba was reached and after red tape lasting for several hours the custom officers let the trav- 7. elers land The custom officers are very careful what they let people bring on to the island from the states.
 On the island one of the places wis tied was the Havana cemetery. In this cemetery people are buried foS twenty years and after that length ol time their descendants have to pay % rent to keep their bones stored longer < Otherwise they are taken out and ' ruthlessly thrown into large excava- tions made particularly Tor the pur- pose. A large hole half filled with
 skulls and other bones was seen.
 A trip was made through Fort Cab anas where so many hundreds of Gu,

 The church by this move changes from it's passive situation on the tenn | perance question to active participa- tion in the mgvement, but unlike most I temperance movements it stands for just what the name signifies, and not total abstinence. While the total ab- stinence movement will be given every aid possible the church society will teach temperance in all things.
