MUSICAL NOTES

The successful invasion of European
musical centers begun by American
opera singers, seems to have paved a
way for the American instrumental
lists. Until recently the violinists and
pianists who have received favorable
mention from European critics, have
been men. During the past few
months, however, a young American
woman, who for years has been
known 10 American theatre-goers,
for Miss Augusta Cottlow has been
playing here since her childhood days,
has suddenly shot into prominence
both In Germany and In England The
German critics seemed loath to admit,
at the first hearing, that an American
could become so extraordinary a plan
list. but after her second or third
concert, they were obliged, as they
themselves said, in fairness to all, to
admit that here was an American, the
equal of any of their beloved and re-
spected German pianlsts.
Word has just been received from
London, where Miss Cottlow recently
gave her first recital, that the Eng
gave her first recital tha
English critics proclaimed her to be on'
OF the great women pianists Of th'
age, thus confirming the opinion ex
pressed by the New York critics afte
her last concert in America and th'
later admissions of the German critic
As a result of her success, Mis-
Cottlow has been engaged by most o
the leading orchestras and societie
not only in England and Germany
but also In Russia. Austria, and Italy
A tour through Scandinavia will b
arranged for her If her other engage
ments will permit.

SOUTH POLE EXPEDITION.

Washington, Feb. 9.--America has

Commander Peary at. the North Pole.

provided the necessary funds can be
raised. It is not believed that there
will be any lack on this score.

TO SAVE THE TRUSTS.

Editor of The Farn1er:-
 The president is out in special message to congress in which he shows the weakness of the Sherman antitrust law and suggests a bill en- abling trusts to incorporate under the federal statutes. The haste to make this recommendation comes because it is feared that the order of dissolu- ton recently made against the Stan dard Oil company might be confirmed by the higher court. If, before this can be done, it is enabled to incor- pore te under the federal law, then it will be saved and hereafter will be under protection of the general gov ernment, so that states cannot regu- late the big corporation as they have been doing in the past. It appears, in view of this development, that the flaws found in the Sherman anti trust bill, if not the order of dissolu- ton against the Standard, were ali cooked and primed with a view to authorizing federal incorporation. Under such incorporation the trusts will have the nation behind them, and it will be impossible to dislodge them. Then, if there is state law that interferes the federal courts will brush it aside; if there is a strike, it will be nj violation of federal law and troops can be rushed in at once. It is bill Of sale. of the United States to the trusts. PORTER.

Some cars got stalled on the road from 1 Westport to this town. in the vicinity l of Greens Farms, and Mr. John R | Taylor, the contractor, who is build l ing the new residence in Westport for Mrs. Reeves, said on Saturday 1 that he had to walk from Greens ] Farms to his home on Mill Plain. A number of ladies, rather than stay in the trolley cars all night, managed ] to get to the depot in Southport where they took a train for Bridge pert.
 The storm was so severe Miss Wakeman did not come down to the library on Friday, and during the 1 evening it was closed. In the morn ing Miss Eleanor Warehouse was in attendance, and in the afternoon Miss 1 Ruth Child looked after the few who 1 called.
 | It is announced that George Free man, who is i'll at his daughters on | Burr street, will go to a Bridgeport l hospital for an operation. l Mrs. Aaron Wakeman, who was taken ill in town, has been carried to 1 her home in Aspetuck.
 The health of Frederick T. Barber l does not improve as could be wished John R. Howe, who has an orange grove in Florida, has sent a case to 1 his brother-in-law, Horace B. Burr. Yesterday the funeral of the old- est woman in town, took place at her | late residence on Greenfield Hill Mrs. Sarah B. Banks, who was 94 years of age. There was a large gathering of relatives and friends. Rev. MT. Olmstead read the burial nd which he paid a high tribute to the excellent character of the deceased. Roger Smith is slowly recovering from a severe attack of the grip. Rev. MT. Olmstead has recently suffered from the grip.

 Horace Burr is said to have recov- cred his health, but Isaac Banks is reported to be quite ill.
 Fish, also, is to be sold in the new market, next door to the barber's s shop, in the famous insella block.
