ANNUAL BURNS CONCERT.
Excellent Soloists Who Will Appear
 at Event.

The Burns celebration which takes place at Warner hall Thursday evening, will introduce to New Haven three new concert stars Foremost amongst them is Miss Flora Hardie. Miss Hardie is said to be one of the best opponents of Scottish song on the concert platform to-day. The Brooklyn Eagle says of Miss Hardies' appearance there: "The contralto soloist, Miss Flora Hardie, rendered. 'Ae Fond Kiss by Robert Burns She was warmly welcomed and sang For the Sake O Somebody as an encore. Of all poems those of Burns appear to adopt themselves most read ily to the kind of music that touches the heart, and the sentiment of the fol- lowing lines from Miss Hardies first seleetion
 Had we never loved sac kindly, Had we never loved so bllndly, 1 Never met and never parted We had ne'er been broken hearted, found an excellent interpretation in the music as she rendered it."
 Miss Nanni F1ack is the second sing. CT. The Buffalo Times says of her: She is the possessor of an extraordin- ary soprano voice of great range sweetness and power"
 Regarding MT. Ballentyne. the New York World says: "The Scottish songs by Mr. Frederick Ballentyne were SC greatly appreciated that he was obliged to respond to the hearty encores re. 4ceived.'
 MT. Theodore Martin, the other artist on the program, needs no introduction to New Haven audience. The oratior on Burns will be delivered by Col. Nor. ris c. osborn, editor Journal-Courier.

IMPROVED ROAD MOVEMENT.
Importance Said to Be Recognized by
Taxpayers.

One Of the drawbacks to the prog
roads. This fact is becoming generally
recognized, and in nearly every state in
the Union there is manifested a tend
ency to remedy this evil by state appro-
priations for the establishment of good
public highways. says the Architects
and Builders Journal Among no class
of people is the need of good roads
realized better than by the farmers and
others engaged in agricultural pursuits.
Until within recent years these same
people opposed the idea Of the state
Issuing bonds to raise money for this
purpose, for by a false conception Of
economy they reasoned that the cost of
modern improved highways would
mean an Increase of taxes
Since. however they have had prac-
teal demonstrations of the advantages
Of good roads by the saving they afford
IN time and the wear and tear of horses
and vehicles, no class OF people is more
enthusiastic in their advocacy. 1t is
| not the farmer alone who is benefited
by the building of good roads Others
who for business or pleasure find it
necessary TO travel by public highways
from city to city or from town to town
appreciate the advantage of smooth,
solid roadbed. Like the railroad these
yiaducts are an incentive to develop
ment, and it is demonstrate that wher
| ever good roads have been established
| that section has developed in material
prosperity and the value of property has
enhanced. This is particularly true of
| the suburbs of large cities.
Improved roads have proved them
selves to be an attractive incentive to
urbanites to purchase lots and erect
dwellings. Modern demands in this re-
| spect have enlisted the attention of
road engineers who have devoted their
thought and skill in the construction of
these highways. and they are built
| from scientific plans instead of by the
haphazard system which formerly pre-
vailed and which was invariably at
tended by unsatisfactory results. The
Introduction of improved macadam and
bitulithic paving has done much to
popularize modern roads Properly laid.
they are durable and satisfactory. Eco
! nomically considered, their cost is mon
ey we'll invested. as the relative relief
travel and the benefit resulting to proy-
innate property more than compensate

OUTLOOK IN KENTUCKY.
Possibility Of a Big Era Of Road
Buiidinu.

Building.
With the passage of the Bosworth-
Wyatt bill at the last session of the
legislature the proposition of good
roads becomes possibility In Ken
lucky No state of the pretensions Of
this commonwe in all the Union
has such inaccessible roads. and in
some cases a veritable canal of mud
binds two important little hill or noun
tain towns together. To get from
Middlesboro to Harlan. in adjoining
counties, one has to take q railroad
train through Virginia and then scrarn-
bic on horseback over the most pre-
cipitous road in the south to the seat
of Harlan county.
The bill provides a constitutional
amendment to be voted on at the next
legislative election in 1909 1t gives
each county power to assess 5 per cent
Of Its total valuation for road repair
and building in distinction to the pres
ent law, which provides only per
cent In the case of Shelby county,
which now has but S32,500 for It's 500
miles of highways and pixies, it would
thus have $650000 though for $500
600 its roads could be well kept up
The appropriation from Jefferson and
Kenton would be enormous.
Nothing is more serious to the
itinerant merchants or the Immense
rural population of Kentucky than
roads Any politician who, like Gov
ernor Wilson. travelled 10000 miles on
roads during a campaign, knows that
the hardships to be undergone are
really tremendous. Often Wilson was

Oil TO LAY DUST.
Cleveland Park Officials Believe It Is
Cheaper Than Water.

Cheaper Than Water
Hundreds of gallons of crude oil will
be used by Cleveland, o.. the coming
summer in laying the dust on the bou
levards and park roads.
1t has been decided by park officials
that oil for dust laying purposes is
cheaper than water. Experiments
were conducted last summer by Su-
perintendent Starke and Park Engi-
neer Stinchcomb. and it was announced
recently that the crude oil compost
ton would be used this season in place
of water for sprinkling purposes.
composition of crude oil and soap
is used, and this is diluted with water.
At first the proportion of the crude oil
mixture is great, but after a coating
forms on the roadways 1t is necessary
to use but small amount In the wa
ter, and the necessity for sprinkling
also becomes less and less. well
coated roadway will be sprinkled but
once In two weeks at the height of
the summer season after the system
is in force.
THE use of oil will be a great labor
saver" said superintendent Starke.
I'VE will net need nearly so many
men aud teams"

afternoon. "a muddy mud road with
out a mudhole,' said he. lis a product
of the King road drag. BY no other
system can mud roads without mud

Mr.. King went to Troy at the invita-
