We do not make this requirement because do not

The new ruling plainly states that for all weekly
newspapers whose subscribers
it will be necessary to place cent stamp on such
papers each week that they go thru the post Office until
such amount has been paid upon those papers to bring

for it would be necessary for make careful exmna
ton of 5000 subscriptions each week, which would
keep two and boy busy.
This law is not aimed at the legitimate newspapers
but at the cheap periodicals. which conducted only for
ever the newspapers all the United States effected

to comply with this law strictly such may be ex
cluded from the mails as second class matter, and each
copy might have to thru the mails at the rate Of

SPLENDID SONG RECITAL.
Miss irene j. Reilly Has Large Au-
dlcnce at Harmonic Hall.

In spite Of inclement weather, Har-
monte hall was filled with friends Of
Miss Irene j, Reilly and those who as
sisted her at the song recital given last
evening, The program included songs
with cello obligato, solos with piano
accompaniment duets and cello solos.
Both Miss Reilly and Miss Verdi have
delightful voices, and their songs were
especially well selected. Mr.. Reilly
Phillips Is too well known here to need
any praise save that which Is always
his due. 1t Is always pleasure indeed
to hear him. Signor Fasano is a young
violoncelist who has not been heard
many times here, although he Is an
artist, His playing Is full of tempera-
ment and many were heard to wish
for an opportunity to hear him again.
One Of the most pleasing numbers on
the program was the "Sancta Maria"
Of Faure, sung by Miss Verdi with
cello obligato Twas beautifully done.
The ushers were Messrs, Robert Des-
kin. Edward Herman, Joseph r. Ma
lone, Harry Walker John Hogan and
James Murray.

MISS WALKERS RECITAL.
Event Last Night One of the Best of
Season from Musical Standpoint.

Miss Grace Elizabeth Walkers song
recital last evening In the Foy audi
forum attracted large and appreeia-
tive audience, II was clearly one OF the
very interesting musical events of the
season, now drawing to close. The
many admirers Of Miss Walkers voice
and singing had looked forward to this
first opportunity to hear her in an ex-
tended program, She more than full
filled every expectation and proved
herself a capable and resourceful sing
err Miss Walkers voice Is of the kind
that one loves to hear again and again,
1t Is fresh, pure and Of an exquisite
smoothness unusual In contralto voices,
She Is singer who shows continual
improvement and this Is marked by
growing depth Of feeling and richness
of tone with no diminutlon of sweet
ness OF quality. Miss Walker sings with
the authority of one who has studied
seriously There Is no straining for eff
fects nor crowdng Of the voice for the
sake Of producing mere loudness of
tone. She shows in her singing that she
is learning the secret Of the power OF
repose. Hence her art always yields the
complete pleasure that comes when one
listens to spontaneous expression with
out ostentation. Miss Walker Is beyond
question one of the most pleasing con-
cert contraltos who has been heard In
New Haven this season.
Miss Hendrika Troostwyk played
with fine appreciation the violin obli-
cato Of Godards Angels Guard Thee '
She also played two solo numbers and
was vigorously applauded for her ex-
ceedngly artistic performance. This
young violnst's playing Is remarkable
for its clear, sustained beauty of tone
and phrasng Her intonation is well
nigh faultless.
